The Trading Rat.

Of all curious animals which man has come across and studied probably none can compare with kind of rat found in the Rocky mountains. Though for long time we'll known to trappers and lumbermen. it is only lately that any naturalist has studied these peculiar little beasts.
 Although called rat this little ami maj is larger than an ordinary rat, with body eight inches long. It is a very pretty creature, with soft gray fur and squirrellike tail, easily tanned and a delightful pet. The trappers long ago gave it the name of the "trading rat, !" from its curious habit of never stealing anything without putting something in its place.
 Two young women camping in the highlands of Wyoming left the lid of their cracker box off one night. In the morning all the biscuits were gone and the box was filled with an indescribable mixture of chips, scraps of leather. sticks, bones, dried beans-in fact, ev- erything movable near at hand.
 The trading rat builds very beauti- ful nest, sometimes two feet ill height, and is very clever at storing food. It has violent fancy for anything of a bright red hue.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Herbert P. Beers of Southport is the plaintiff in libel suit against R. F. Dunham of the Southport Chronicle; Beers claiming that Dunham published articles injurious to him. The Chroni- ole published that Beers stole melons. At the trial the plaintiff put on W. B. Penny who stated that the fact of Beers filching a melon did not reflect on his honesty, as everybody down that way stole melons. He also stated that the good people of that region did not think that Beers was bad, because they could most of them remember when they had eaten other peoples melons.

Two variety shows held the boards at the Hartford theaters Sunday night; the audiences were large and are said to have been we'll pleased. Yet there are persons still on earth who can remember the time when theatrical performances were not permitted on Sunday in Hart ford.-Hartford Times.
 And every individual of those large and pleased audiences is liable to fine of $4. No wonder our Sunday law was not repealed when the Capitol City sets the example as to it's observance. The Sunday law is evidently on the statutes to keep the country people religious Imagine Sunday night performance at Canaan Town Hall! We guess there would be some legal action.
