and decided that a sufficiently large
noise would scare them away alto
gether His theory proved correct.
He produced the noise and not rat
remains in the house.
His method, very simple, he tells
for the benefit of all others annoyed
with rats and mice. He placed a
six inch gong on the rafters under
the caves in the attic. The button
to set the gong ringing was placed
in his bedroom. 1t was handy, SO
that all he had to do was to reach
out with one hand and press the but
ton.
The first night after the apparatus
was installed the rats began their
play Reaching his hand out from
under the covers he gave the button
touch. The rats scampered for
their holes and troubled the family
no more that night The next night
the same treatment had the desired
effect, and after that they gradually
stole away. TRY this method" says

GAMBLERS
ARE GLEEFUL

DAWSON, June 21.-Within few
weeks Dawson will be the only min
ing camp of any importance in the
North where gambling will not be
allowed. The town is closed tightly
and there is not the slightest hope of
card ever being turned here again.
The condition is said by even the
most conservative of business men
to be a drawback to the business in
terests of the camp. and the general
opinion is strongly in favor of gam
bling under proper restrictions.
Alaskan towns in every quarter of
the territory will be running wide
open in short time. The news that
the federal government had decided
to leave the regulation of gambling
to the town authorities was received
with rejoicing throughout Alaska by
more than the sporting classes. The
Nome and Fairbanks gamblers are
already planning to open on a big
scale, as il is understood the NUM-
cipal authorities of both towns will
tolerate games of chance" levying
fines rs a sort of license
Skagway has remained open since
the early days, with few exceptions.
The new law will make little change
here beyond the permitting of the
tearing down of a few partitions.

SANDUSKY, o., June 21.-E
Field, wire chief in the local office
of the Bell telephone company, is
the Edison of this city. His services
have long been recognized as inval-
liable by the telephone company be-
cause of the common sense he dis
plays in the adaptation of electrical
apparatus to the ends desired His
latest achievement, however, is his
greatest. 1t consists in electrical
treatment for rats and mice that dis
turb his slumbers-or rather, did
disturb his slumbers. for they don t
any more.
AS Field and his family slept in
the comfortable little home here the
rodents in the attic held high carni-
val nightly. The frolic above the
sieepers annoyed them greatly. The
mice even ran up and down the wall
Field pondered. He noticed that if
he would get up and make a noise
the racket in the attic would mo-
mentarily cease. Newton-like he de-
