STARTLING RAT STORY,
A London District Post ONCE Closed
and Houses OveTrun by
the Rodents.

About year ago an important dis

Ii had been opened for stamps. money

of thickly-populated district. One
day the doors were shut and card af-
fixed, stating that it was closed for re-
pairs. Weeks passed and it was not re-
opened. The postmaster general re-
ceived complaints by the score. But
the weeks became months, and still the
doorg remained closed. And the peo-
pie around wondered why.
The truth is at last out, and some
of the families residing near know it
to their cost. The post office in ques-
ton had to be closed because it had
become the happy hunting ground of
vast hordes of rats, who consumed let
tiers by the bagful, and many postal or
ders, money order forms and other Of
fetal papers. The rats forced the post
office TO be closed, and after numerous
attempts to rid the place of the rodents,
II was found possible to do so only
by putting down entirely new cement
foundations and entirely retimberine

post Office had, but for its mere shell.

KISS HAS MADE TROUBLE.
Frivolity Among Young People
crowned ON by the MennOnites
and Punished.

1t was only kiss, yet it has created
a great disturbance among the Men
MONTE sects. A farmers son, Just
turned is, caught pretty girl of the
same age about the waist and planted a
kiss smack on her rosy cheek. 1t was
| at an impromptu game during an apple
butter boiling party.
Such parties are not generally given
among Mennonites. BY chance a num-
Der of young people gathered at big
farmhouse at night, and while lad and
lass stood at the long-hapdled stirrer
where the large boiler hung in the
great open fireplace over a blazing wood
fire in the kitchen, the others started
the old game of Copenhagen.
They formed ring, but just as the
first kiss was given one of the elders
CHANGED to visit the farm and came
upon the scene in time to see the kiss.
kissing games are forbidden by these
people because they are entirely too
worldly. The report is that the elder
will surely bring the whole matter up
before the next meeting. The only pub
lie kissing that they tolerate is the holy
Kiss at love feasts, or at the selection
of their ministers by lot.
At the latter functions the mother or
the wife or the sisters may greet the
chosen pastor with a kiss upon his
cheek. Any brother may also do the
same. But the friendly kiss in frolic or
in public games is absolutely forbid
den.
There is no telling what punishment
may be melted out to the young farm
er's son who was detected by the elder.
His excuse to his father the next morn
ing was that they had just started
game in fun, and that he had kissed the
girl before he knew it, or at least before
he thought. The old farmer sternly re-
piled:
You knew it was wrong. About the
only thing you've got to do is to GO and
marry her, now. Why, she'll carry that
kiss all through her life. They'll never
forget it. They'll say: why, she's the
girl so and so kissed. He had his arm
around her waist Shame on Won To
forget yourself"
1t is also known that the girl received
a severe lecture from her parents, and
her punishment will be seclusion all
winter.-N. Y. Sun.

H6URIOUSGASE
BY Itta Allen Fellner.

5. LAKEWOOD seminary was fashion.
~ able boarding school for young
ladies. 1t was delightfully."- situated in
the suburbs of small city, and was
near neighbor to the medical college
At the beginning of this story the fac
ulty of lakewood was giving little re-
ception to the elder pupils, and few
guests were present, among them
Charles Sanford, a senior in the medical
school.
The school year was drawing to a
close, and it was we'll for Charlie that he
was safely through his examinations,
for he was past all studying for the
present. The fact was he was dead in
love. The object of his ardent affec-
tion was Miss Lucy Long, one of the
very young and very pretty teachers in
lakewood.
No one attempted to blame Charlie
in the least for being in that serious
condition, for Lucy was a charming
girl, who was not only beautiful but
so sweet and lovable that she was ad-
mired by everyone, although it was
well known that she was very poor.
AS both her parents had died when
abe was mere baby she had been left
TO the care of wealthy uncle, who,
acme Is years previous to the opening
of this story, had placed her in lakewood
seminary while she was only a wee girl.
Her uncle was her sole guardian, and
he was to have paid her expenses and
look after her; but he had suddenly
and very mysteriously disappeared
soon after Lucy had entered the school,
and no trace of him had ever been
found.
For a long time the teachers in the
school had kept Lucy as swell parlor
boarder, expecting her uncle to return
and pay for it, but as year after year
went by and no news of him could be
obtained, they allowed Lucy to remain
and continue her studies; and being an
extremely clever girl she was able at
20 to teach in the school, thus trying
to repay them for their kindness to
her.
At this reception Lucy was every-
where an object of pride and admira-
ton. and somehow before he left the
seminary Charlie Sanford managed to
see good deal of her and secure her
promise to take drive with him in the
park the following day. The drive was
. brilliant success. Charlie declared to
her his great love and she listened to
him. Charlie was poor and had worked |
mis- own way through college, and Lucy |
was even poorer, and although they
contemplated marriage and ,yed each |
ether dearly, they saw that it must |
necessarily be long way off. BIZ. D-.
Charlie had great ambitions, and he
proposed to seek for place to locate
and to begin to practice Immediately.

ticing physician. so they both agreed
that he had better locate at first in

A New Variable star.

cred in the constellation Cygnus a star
