of rats he first plugs up all the rat
holes he can find. After that he
turns his trained ferrets, thirty of
them, loose In the building. The fer
rets go after the rats, and then, 70
quote Sells, there is "scatterment."
The average rat would commit suicide
before 1t would allow itself to be cap
tured by ferret. The rats know that
once their necks are caught in the
sharp teeth Of the ferrets there is no
hope for them.
Not long ago Sells was cleaning out
the rats in the Carson-Pirie-Scott
store in State street. About 8 o'clock
at night, when all was still In the
place, and the rats were holding high
carnival, Sells turned his ferrets loose.
Instantly there was such a squeaking
that IL seemed to the watchman that
an earthquake had struck Chicago
and that the mighty steel girders Of
the building were complaining Of the
strain forced upon them. The rats
ran everywhere. They jumped into
the elevator shaft in such numbers
that Adolph Swanson, one of the jan
itors, said he was kept busy half the
night scooping them up into baskets.
Sells, who knew what would happen
when the ferrets were turned loose,
had left the windows up on the alley
side of the big store, and through
these the rats jumped recklessly to
the hard pavement below. In less
than an hour after the ferrets began
operations there was not a rat or a
mouse in the store.

Napoleon's Trees.

About the year 1850 Mr.. John Tin
line, one Of the early pioneers Of New
Zealand, sailed from England, and the
ship requiring water, put into st. He
lena. Mr.. Tinline took several weeping
willow slips from trees around Napo-
Icons grave and kept them alive dur
ing the voyage by sticking them into
potatoes He planted them at Nelson,
New Zealand, and there are some Won
derfully fine trees growing there, / be-
lieve one or two of the original slips
still existing. A few years later Mr..
Tinline and others took slips into the
Canterbury province, and in the course
of years I have had myself wagonloads
of stakes and branches from these
trees for planting and protecting the
river banks. They are now largely
used throughout New Zealand, and
anything will grow and soon become
big tree from a small slip to a big post
several feet long and up to a foot or
more diameter provided there is water.
The pretty Avon river at Christ church
is planted with willows from this
source; also the Yarra river at Mel
bourne, Victoria. Indeed, I believe l
am correct in saying that all the weep
ing willows throughout New Zealand
came from this supply. Mr.. Tinline
only passed away short time ago at
a ripe old age, having lived to see how
successful his act Of acclimatization
had been-unlike many other things
since introduced with very serious re-
sults.-H. Wharton in London Times.

GETTING RID OF RATS.
\ Task That Gives Professional
Catchers Plenty to Do.

Catchers Plenty 10 10.
Professional rat catchers do thriV-
ing business in Chicago. In the down.
town department stores and In the
wholesale houses along the river an
endless warfare against rats and mice
constantly is carried on, says the Chi
cago Tribune. In some Of these places
the rats grow so big and so bold that
to speak Of their exploits would bring
down a charge Of nature taking on
the narrator The professional rat
catchers, of whom there are a score in
the loop district, tell some remarka-
BILE stories concerning the big rodents
with which they have had dealings.
Some of the department stores en-
ploy their own rat catchers. At Car
son, Pirie, Scott & Co.'s retail store
there Is a man whose duty it Is to keep
the store free from rats and mice.
This firms rat catcher works at night
and uses a small bore shotgun with
which to put his enemies out of COM
mission. Instead of shot, which would
tear holes in the walls and ceilings, he
loads his gun with salt balls. These
are used to stun the rats sufficiently
for him to get at them with a heavy
stick. Despite the efforts Of the pro-
fessional rat catcher the rodents in
crease so rapidly that it is necessary
every six months or so to go after
them with ferIets.
On West Madison street there lives
a man who keeps a supply Of rat
catching ferrets constantly on hand.
His name is George Sells, and what he
doesn't know about rats and methods
Of catching them isn't worth knowing.
He contracts to rid building Of rats
Just as an architect would contract to
put a new roof on.

HOW ARABS FIGHT.
Their Aim Is to Wound an Enemy, Not
to Kill Him.

to Kill Him.
"a striking point in the Arabs
character" writes a traveller of what
he saw in Mesopotamia, "is his in
tense dislike Of bloodshed and saw
agery. The tribes of the Jazirah are
continually at war. and, as have had
plenty Of evidence to the contrary, 7
think 1t would be absurd to ac-
cuse them of cowardice, but no
one who has seen them or talked to
them can fail to be struck with their
extraordinary lack Of vindictiveness
and their wonderfully merciful way
Of fighting. An Arab never fights to
kill. His objects are to capture, to
incapacitate or to frighten into SUBJ
mission. He will It is true, do a great
amount Of material damage-burn
villages and ruin crops--but he will
never take life unnecessarily or re-
fuse quarter and never, as far as
know, beat or Ill use q prisoner. On
| the other hand, a desert Arab will
rob and tyrannize over his weaker
neighbors in a peculiarly ruthless way
and always do his best to make agri-
| culture impossible.
Their method Of fighting Is almost
entirely confined to the use Of the
lance, which is carried javelinwise,
the lance itself being light bamboo
some eighteen or twenty feet in
length, with long knifelike head.
A band Of horsemen from 200 to 500
in number comes swooping down on
the herds OF the enemy, some driving
Off succor while others carry away
the booty. The defense Of the herds
against these attacks is similar,
swift pursuit and an endeayor to
draw off the marauders being the
usual method. Generally the advan-
tage lies with the attacking force, as
the defenders usually look to re-
coupling themselves by similar attack
rather than to recapturing the lost
herds Immediately. The reason IL that
the marauding party II hard pressed
might hustle the captured animals
unduly and make them almost worth
less.
1.-THE rules Of war in the Jazirah
are as strictly and decently observed
among Arabs as by the white and red
knights in Alice In Wonderland To
kill an enemy In battle is discredita-
BILE and savage. To wound slightly is
what is aimed at, and to wound a
man slightly with bamboo lance is
no small feat of skill. To surrender is
not discreditable. Flight is as justi-
fable as attack. To carry on warfare
at night would be scandalous and
shameful or, II we choose to take
cynical view, productive Of incon-
venient reprisals. Camps. as far as
could ascertain, are practically out Of
bounds for q similar reason. Warfare
in the Jazirah is an elaborate form
of sport.
IT have yet to hear Bedouin speak
i'll Of his enemy, even though he may
have had the worst Of 1t himself. In
deed, as far as could see, there was
as little personal animus between he
reditary foes as exists between two
elevens Of cricketers. OF course, at
at times regrettable things are done.
but the occasions are very rare in
deed. The only really discreditable
aspect of the intertribal warfare is
the ruthless way in which the Bed
ouins of the sheperd tribes plunder
the poor agricultural dependents Of
their antagonists, who, having neither
arms nor horses, are incapable Of
defiance. Chicago News.

THE THIRD TERM.-Arthur Brisbane,
editor Of the New York Evening Jour-
nal received a letter asking his opinion
as to the desirability of third term
for President Roosevelt. He replied
with this story and short comment:
Once a colored gentleman Of good,
average character disturbed his cler-
gyman and friends by saying that ne
did not believe in hell He was cross
examined and rebuked, but would not
change his mind, simply repeating over
and over:
mo, 1 don't believe in hell, I don't
believe there's any such place, and l
don't believe it because don't think no
constitution could stand It,"
That is how we feel about the third
term Of Mr.. Roosevelt. We don't be-
lieve in it, frankly, because we don't
think any constitution could stand it.

THOMAS ]. ford HAS
NOT been LOCATED.
Mysteryl of His Disappearance Deepens-
Report That He Had Returned Home Was
Unfomded- Chief Lowe Believes That
Missing Man Went Through the Ice-May
Drag River This Afternoons n.

Falling through hole in the ice,
struggling for a few minutes against
the swift running waters and then
sucked underneath the ice, is what
Chief Of Police j. w. Lowe believes
was the fate of Thomas ]. Ford.
Published report to the contrary
Notwithstanding Ford has not return
ed to his home in Grand Forks, nor
has any trace whatever been found
of him. Since Mr.. Ford left the North
ern Pacific depot in East Grand Forks
Wednesday evening at o'clock every
trace has been lost and as effectually
as though the earth had opened up and
swallowed him.
Last night at about 5 O'Clock it was
stated that Ford had been found. The
report, spread quickly. The story was
to the effect that Mr.. Ford had got
ten on the snow shovel and gone to
Winnipeg Junction. :. There Seems to
be absolutely no foundation for the
rumor;' as an Investigation by the
police made today failed to confirm
1t.
AS the hours pass by, and no word
is heard from the missing man the
mystery deepens. There is only one
plausible explanation for his absence,
that being that he fell through the ice
and was drowned. .

main campus of the new institution
is located directly across the road and
north of President Merrifelds resi-
dence. The plat shows a place for

three sides of a square. these build
ings being the ladies and mems dor
mitories and the Administration build
ing to shield from the cold north

County Chairman" Company
Obliged to Turn Back
Here Tonight.

Manager Myers of the local play
house informed the Evening Times to-
day that he had completed deal with
the management of "rhe County
Chairman" whereby the latter have
cancelled their contract at Crookston
for tonight and will instead appear
at the Metropolitan this evening.
The troupe should have made stand
at the local playhouse last night, but
owing to disruption of the train
service between Winnipeg and Grand
Forks, their train which left Winnipeg
Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, after
running short distance and being
frequently stuck, was compelled to put
back to the Manitoba capitol. The
company left Winnipeg again Thurs
day evening, and arrived in the city
today.
The cancellation of the Crookston
contract was only arranged with con-
siderable difficulty, Manager White of
the Crookston theatre being loathe 10
cancel the engagement which prcmIs-
