ANOTHER PIED PIPER NEEDED


 A Pied Piper of Hamelin is badly needed in Edinburgh by the Princes street hotelkeepers. Just now they are pestered by an invasion of battalions O; rats swarming from an ivy clad bank In the gardens laid out some time ago for decorative purposes by the corpor- ation. In this secure retreat the rats pass the day, issuing forth at night and finding their way to the hotels across the street by means of old drains. So bold are the invaders that some have been seen climbing up the water pipes on the hotel fronts. and entering the open windows. Every de- vice known to rat catching has been employed for their extirpation, but in vain. The latest agent introduced to carry on the battle is the mOngoose. of which large numbers have been inn ported by the distressed hotel man. agerS.

WAS TWEED'S BANG

"<AAo " FELL . bAINt(Okl HALL.
 The once famous Tweed banquet hall in the basement Of the New York city hall, is now used as a storage room for the city record office. When Tweed owned the city government he would sometimes give secret banquets to the aldermen and other city officers. These mysterious features took place in a big room in the basement, into which no prytng eye could pierce, and from which no sound could reach a listening ear. There was a large cooking range in the room. and on that all the food was cooked. At another period in the history of the city private prize fights were fought to a finish in the same room. But the glory of ancient history has departed from the place and it is now reduced to base business pur- poses.

WORK HE HAD OVERLOOKED.

A Swedish missionary who was en- deavoring to gain a foothold in Abys- sinia was brought before King Meme lek. who asked him why he had left his home in Scandinavia in order to come to Abyssinia. The missionary replied that he had come to convert the Abys- sinia Jews. Are there no Jews in your country?" asked Menelik. The mis- sionary admitted that there were a few. And in all the countries that you have passed through did you find no Jews or heathen?" the king con- tinued. Jews and heathens, the mis- sionary admitted. were plentiful Then said Menelek to his guards, "carry this man beyond the frontier and let him not return until he has converted all the Jews and heather which lie between his country and mine."
