FLOODS AND SLAUGHTER OF RAJ
- ANIMALS THE CAUSES.

: As a danger to health, as well as to
property of almost every kind, the rat
must be extcrminated. Let the fact
that he has never had friend. that
he has been constantly hunted to the
wilderness and driven to desperation,
actuate with humanity those who set
themselves to the task of thinning out
his kind.
AS for the good in him, there are
many true stories. His intelligence
has been seen often. Perhaps the best
known inst. nee is that of rats which,
robbing a poultry yard, could conceive
of no better way of carrying off the
eggs than b. getting one of their num-
Der to lie OIL his back and clasp the
eggs on his stomach. Then several
rats pulled their recumbent brothers
tail while others pushed his shoulders.
Thus egg after egg was safely hidden
in their burrow.
A rat has been known to cross a
swollen torrent in Scotland seated on
a swans back. Other rats have made
friends With dogs and fed from the
same platter. When the dogs We're
absent they would never feed, know
ing that the presence Of their canine
friends meant safety.
Although when driven desperate with
hunger they will deyour one another,
in times of plenty their affection is
almost human.
\ Sussex clergyman has told how he
saw 4 number of rats migrating from
one district to another and in the
middle of the company was an Old
blind rat, with twig in his mouth,
by which he was being safely led by
younger rodent.
Instances of rats leading blind COM
rades by the ears to feeding places
and placing food close to their muZzles
have been observed more than once.
This is more than many human beings
will Go for their weaker brethren.

The letter was written by a Japan

favor would be greatly appreciated.
The favor was fer the Philadelphia

was done and the agent described as
q responsible person. He had plenty
of money, ard bargain was made
with the firm, the latter to receive
large sum of money.

AN ASPIRANT
FOR SENATORIAL HONORS AND
GIVES REASONS WHY.
THINKS HENRY COUNTY

c. W. Stiyers, editor and proprie-

Liberty, Ind, Feb. Is, 1904.
| It was known to my friends four
years ago that / was an aspirant for

and I desire now through your pa

court decides the apportionment act
of 1908 to be unconstitutional, as now
seems probable, that | willbe a candi-
date for state senator In the district
composed Of Fayette, Henry and
Union counties. Henry county hav-
ing held the senatorship for eight
years will certainly be willing to con-
cede the nomination to one of the 9th
er counties In the district.
Fayette county has had repre-
sentative in the legislature in her joint
ASSOCIATION right along, but Union
has not had Republican representa-
tive in either branch of the General
Assembly for fourteen years and feels
strong in her claim to recognition.
Personally I have confidence in the
fairness and sense Of justice of the
Republican voters Of Henry, as also
of Fayette and Union. and am will
