FaIcHTENs HIS BROTHER RATS.
Rodents VIII Not Associate With
BelIed Companion.

One OF the old schoolbook stories
Of another generation told about the
ruse Of a porter, who caught rat
and fastened a bell to its neck. When
II was turned loose again and ran
through the building all other rats
left in fright at the strange member
Of their species that was trying to
associate with them.
The janitor OF a bank in Cleveland
followed the idea in this old story
and II works out Just as the school
books say 1t did. Traps Set every
night were filled with the rodents
and yet there seemed to be no end to
their ravages One morning the jani-
tor chloroformed big fellow and fas-
tened a wire loop securely to It's neck
To this loop were attached three
tiny tinkling bells. Mr.. Rat was re-
vived by being placed before an cleo
trio fan and then allowed to go again
His bells have since been heard tink
ling behind the walls, but he is a lone
some wanderer through what was
once populous rat city. All the rats
have left this building and he is mon
arch Of all he surveys. Probably he
would prefer to dwell in the midst
Of alarms" again rather than reign
In this desolate place"

Clothes and Conduct.

Every man and every woman feels
the influence Of clothes and appear
ance upon conduct. You have heard
of the lonely man in the Australian
bush who always put on evening
dress for dinner, so that he might re.
member he was a gentleman. Add
son could no. write his best unless
he was well dressed. Put a naughty
girl into her best Sunday clothes and
she will behave quite nicely. Put a
blackguard into khaki and he will be
a hero. Put an omnibus conductor
into uniform and he will live up to
his clothes. Indeed, in a millennium
of free clothes of the latest fashion
we shall all be archangels.

Horse Not Adapted for Strain.

4. M. Bartlett Of Omaha, who is
one OF the directors of the American
Trotting Association, said of a hard
driver:
The mans horses keep 80 lean
and poor that they remind me of a
huckster whom knew in my boyhood.
This huckster drove a gray horse
that was the thinnest creature your
mind can conveive Of. Its huge, long
head dropped at the end Of a neck
that resembled pump handle and its
ribs stuck out through the tight skin
pltiably.
THE huckster one day left the horse
in charge of his son. When he came
back the animal was lying on the
ground. Thereupon he said angrily
to the lad:

for the vessel to pass to her starboard.
When the tug started past the dredger
it was to find that not sufficient space
had been given by the dredger The
result was that the tug scraped the
Pacific and when the wider schooner
came along it was case of raining
the Pacific or getting aground on the
Eva side of the channel. The schoon-
err had a cargo Of 272OO bags of sugar
aboard and naturally fears were en-
tertained that she might spring leak
The revenue cutter was sent for and
she assisted the Fearless i'm getting the
schooner off the bottom The schooner
was put into the naval slip where she
is to undergo a survey. Captain john
son stated at noon that his vessel had
not started to leak but her rudder had
been smashed. This accident occurred
when she was being rghted after hav-
ing been pulled off the ground Her
rudder probably bumped against the
bottom on the Eva side of the channel.
A delay of about three weeks win prob
ably result before "a new rudder can be
secured. as a rudder post will have to
be brought from San Francisco. Cap
tain Johnson says that he viii have a

Considerable criticism is being d.

claimed that the people on her have

rights of craft desiring to pass the
