A peculiar occurrence was wit
messed at Dave Martins barber shop,
on Broadway, yesterday. A rat that
had ventured too far from beadquart-
ers found that IL was discovered, and
made a leap for hole some little dis
lance away. A string CHANGED to be
stretched across the hole, and the
rodent, in some inexplicable manner,
struck 1t in such way that the string
closed around Its neck in as neat a
moose as human hands could have de-
vised, and. the unfortunate creature
hanged by its own act, helplessly

was a case Of suicide. but others con-
slider it only one of those peculiar ac-
cidents heard of only occasionally.

another man. lie was fat and pudgy-
looking. and his skin had an un-

was evidently a man Of leisure. He
stood for perhaps a minute watching
the other man al work, and then
he said: Would you mind letting
me take your place for awhile?

The stableman's eyes seemed ready
to pop out Of his head "snre." he
said; sure" The pudgy dyspeptic
carefully removed his gloves and
grasped the rope II was hard work.
and il made him red In the face. but
he finally landed the bale where an
other man in the loft could take il
in. Then he tried another and an
other. and kept "a up for about ten
minutes. When he relinquished the
rope TO the staaleman he slipped
coin into the latter's hand. saying:
THANK you, very much. That has
done me more good than all the
