RATS IN THE UNDERGROUND
One Place Where the London Rodents Al
Really Useful.

One Place Where the London Rodents Al
Really Useful.
In the course of a lengthy article de-
nouncing the rat, the London Specta-
tor remarks: y.
Almost the only places in which they
do no harm, and are even useful, are
the tunnels of the underground rail-
ways Of London, and near the plat
forms of the great London termlni.
Passengers throw quantities Of surplus
food out of the windows, and the rail
way rats come out by night and de-
YOUR it. The electrification Of the Dis
trict and "Circle" lines has greatly di-
minished the rats in those parts Of
underground London. They are not
only very inquisitive, but naturally
and habitually touch every object they
come near, first with their whiskers,
and then with their noses. They are
not still for a moment, but always kept
in motion like a fy-fsher's rod. With
Give" rails down in the tunnels. which
emit the peculiar smell accompanying
highly charged conductors, this inquir-
ing habit of the rats leads them to dis
aster. They smell that the Give" rail
is not quite like an ordinary length Of
steel, put their whiskers against it,
and finally lay their noses on it. This
causes death in q moment, the rats
falling backwards, and expiring after
one Oh two kicks.

The Shelving Of Capers.

A Washington special says: The ap-
pointment Of Ernest F. Cochran OF
Anderson to be district attorney OF
South. Carolina has created sensa-
ton in South Carolina circles. He
takes the place Of John G. Capers, ma
tionai committeeman for South Car
olina, who was a candidate for re-
appointment.
Mr. Cochran was not a candidate
for the place, but he had been high
" recommended in connection with
the new judgeship, which it is ex'
pected will be created for South Car
olina.
It developed some time ago that
certain charges affecting his efdcien-
cy as an official had been made
against Mr.. Capers, and these have
been under investigation by the de-
partment Of justice. Just the nature
of the charges officials will not d-s-
close. One charge has to do with his
acting as attorney for a distilnns
company, which, as district attorney
it was expected he would be called
upon to prosecute.

charae Made AGAINST Peden.

]. R. Peden of Greenville, this state,
was put in Jail in Knoxville, Tenn,
few days ago, on the charge of hav-
ing violated an Injunction of the chan
Gerry court restraining him from en-
ticing or trying to ent.ce away en-
ployees from local cotton mills. The
original bill of Injunction was filed
by the Brookside cotton mills of Knox.
Vile. Peden claims that he has not
violated the Injunction. That mill
employees have come to him volun-
tarily in response to advertisements.
He offers shorter hours, better wages,
cleaner homes, etc., than are offered
in Knoxville, and even goes so far
as to make the statement the negro
mill hands live better In South Car
clina than the whites do in Knox

A tingle of Mortified animation rushed
through every muscle Of his body. He
was on the point of being devoured
alive by the wolf pack that had trailed
him. and the powerful stimulus of the
new peril called out the last reserves
Of life.
He made 4 convulsive start. The
rife upon his knees went off, and at
the sudden fash and report the half
dozen wolves bolted incontinently.
They al; fed but the big brute that
was wrenching ut his arm, and it only
snarled through its nostrils and tugged
the harder.
Stanley tried to raise himself. His
limbs felt wooden and dead But he
fumbled for the skinning-knife at his
belt, broke it from its cake Of ice, and
struck out stifiy. a stream Of blood
followed the blow.
The wolf let go. and darted at the
attacking arm. Stanley lunged again
and again, trying vainly to get to his
knees. He was upset at every at
tempt, and the wolf and the man rolled
over each other, struggling with tooth
and knife, till the long blade touched
the life, and the great gray brute
stretched itself out in the bloody snow,
kicking. With its last effort it seized
the hunters blanket coat, and Stanley
had to cut the cloth to release that
death-grip.
Meanwhile the rest Of the pack were
skulking at the edge of the cover. not
quite daring to take part in the combat.
Stanley sent another shot after them,
and they vanished like shadows.
The violent exertion Of the fight had
started his circulation again, but he
was filed with terrible cramps and
agonizing pains in every muscle. He
found a match. and after many unsuc-
cessful attempts, he managed this time
to strike fire. The birch bark caught
and famed cracking up the trunk. The
dry trunk caught fire itself, and the
tree burned like torch.
Stanley rubbed his face. hands and
feet savagely with snow, and then took
off his iced outer garments and stood
in the heat of the fire, steaming. He
had a few. iacerations on his face, but
found that the teeth of the wolves had
in no case penetrated through his cloth
ing to the skin. The thick, ice-caked
cloth had been an efficient armor, and
the mass Of ice on his beard had pro-
tected his neck. On the other hand. it
is beyond doubt that the arrival Of the
pack had saved him from death by
freezing.
Stanley spent that night beside a
great bonfire, and all night long the
gray wolves skulked about in the
shadows. He reached camp again a
little after sunrise, where he found
Chouteau in a state Of great pertur-
baton, and on the point Of setting out
to look for him.
Shanley's feet had been badly frozen,
and he came near losing three of his
toes. He was unable to go the rounds
Of the traps for two weeks, but that
the adventure did not discourage him
is shown by the fact that when the
trappers came out Of the woods in
March they brought eighteen wolf.pelts

A Russian Chief OF Police,

"The Night that Made Me Revo-
lutionist," in Everybody's, is the tale
of a young Russian peasant. Speak
ing through the mouth Of Ernest
Poole, the writer, the young reVolu-
zionist tells the following incident:
Toward evening both Of us were
called to the police station. We were
taken in before the Chief Of Police.
He was man of fifty. He was not
at all like the priest, but short and
burly. with a thick sot. neck and a
face all red and puffed out; his fingers
trembled from vodka. He had been
in the army, and had now been given
this easy place; he had never learned
to read or write till after he was
thirty. He always had trouble to
speak, for his breath came short, his
brain was clouded, and you could see
by his eyes that he was always trying
to grab his thoughts and hold them
together. He showed all the signs OF
a vodka drunkard. Every morning he
was sad; every afternoon he was
cross; every evening he got more and
more stupid.
1--WE found him in cross period.
! He. lay. on the sofa wrapped in long
gray cloak. Tie cloak was unbut-
toned in front. and you could see his
black. hairy chest. He held a cigar
very tight in his teeth; white cat lay
! in his lap, and his fat red hands kept
trembling over the cats back"

DELUSION.

The fisher lad stopped from his sk!ff-side,
To dip his net in the sea.
When up from the deep. deep water,
A face looked smiling,y.
A face in frame OF sunlight,
With lips that would tempt and trouble,
And eyes that would CAIN and save.
He gazed TOO long for his future,
Too long for his peace. OF mind,
He poured his soul in his worship,
Devoted, ceaselesS. blind.
He swept his net through the water,
But the vision passed away;
The wave grew calm. but it came not.
Though he watched through many day.
