a Not Very Particulars Thief Carries
ON seyesty-Eive skunks With

Francis VOL, Montour county
farmer, would like to know who stole
his skunks. Vol lately had rs fine
skunks. One nigh they were all TAX
en- away in a bunch, and Vol has been
nosing around the neighborhood ever
since trying to strike the trail Of the
thief. says Hazleton (Pa.) corre-
spondent Of the Chicago Inter Ocean.

and Wolf found that so long as the
skunks were well fed they would not
lose their temper unless roughly
handled. just about he time VOL be

business sagacitv some thief carried

confined in an Enclosure fenced in with
woven wire. One morning last week
when Woll went TO the farm TO feed his
stock he found that the fence inclosing
the pound had been torn down and
every skunk was missing.

TROOPS TO WAR ON RATS.

The rat problem in the Philippines
has now become so important that for

OF the rats captured were found in

this menace to health and safety OF
the American troops that orders have
been issued by Gen. Chaffee to ex-
terminate the rats. says a Washington
report.
So far the plague has been kept
down by rigid sanitary rules. and a

The movement to make white"
Australia is not receiving such gen.
eral approval as the Chinese exclu-
sion has in this country. but IL IL
none the less certain that yellow and
brown labor must go from England's
colony. The bill now being discussed
in the commonwealth parliament
permits the introduction into Queens
land (the state most affected by the
measure. for IL is there that sugar is
grown) during 1902 of rs per cent. of
the number of islanders (Poiyne-
sians) who return to their homes
during the present year. In 1903
only so per cent. may return. and by
1906 there will be none in the col
ony. for by that year all will have
been sent back to their island homes,
whether or not they hold property
or can pass the education test. says
the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
The chief opponents of the meas
ure are the sugar planters and man
ufacturers, who say the white labor
in the cane fields Is much more ex-
pensive and much less effective. and
they promise the extinction of a
growing industry on which great
sums of money have already been
spent if IL becomes necessary TO rely
solely on expensive and incompetent
labor. Premier Barton's idea. how
ever, is that by a system of import
duties and bounties the sugar indus
try may be so protected that the loss
OF cheap and efficient labor will not
harm IT,

old bank teller Of friend, relates the
Chicago Tribune. "And did you ever
think that most Of the attention that

''But IL Is fact. You never think

business and ask change for $50 bin
