Your Interest
A ROASTED RAT.

IL Appears In Many Guises, According
to Japanese Legend.
In olden time, runs a Japanese Leg
end, Buddhist priest became &C.
quainted with a daimio's courier who
on his journeys to and from Tokyo
would often stop and spend the night
at the temple. He seemed to be a man
Of remarkable intelligence, with whom
it was a great pleasure to converse up
on all sorts of subjects. One night, as
the two were talking together, the cou-
rier said:
Il thank you for the many favors
you have shown me since we became
friends, but tomorrow morning l must
bid you farewell and never see you
again."
"Why must that beT asked the
priest.
II will tell you the whole TRUTH" an
swered the courier. Il am not q man,
but fox. For the purpose of deceiv-
ing the dainfio assumed human form.
One Of his retainers, however, became
suspicious and learned my secret. He
has made trap and baited it with
roasted rat in order that he may cap
ture me on MY return journey and put
me to death. Alas, it will be impossi-
bic for me to escaped!
The priest exclaimed in astonish-
ment: "Can it be true that you are a
fox? This Is strange story. Since
you know all about the trap, why do
you not leave the bait untouched?"
because it is impossible for fox,
when once it smells roast rat, to keep
from tasting It,"
"Why, how is it," asked the priest,
"that you, whose wisdom, is more than
that possessed by most men, can throw
away your life for the sake of eating a
roast rat? Among men, even fool
would know too much for that"
The fox answered, with a bitter
laugh: "Ah, it is only roast rat that
can lead fox astray. But men, though
well aware of the danger, are caught
by their love of pleasure, of strong
drink or Of gold. To obtain these they
not only throw away their own lives,
but they bring ruin upon their families
and their country.
'These temptations are only other
forms Of roasted rat."-Youth's Com
DaniOn.

Their Strange Behavior Explained.

A real estate broker was one day
walking down the street with friend.
After proceeding short distance the

twenty feet, when the broker backed

mer position.
Excuse me-" said the friend as they
proceeded a little farther along and he
retreated step and again slipped
around to the right side of the real -es-
tate agent
They continued along together few
more PAGES when the broker, with an
II beg your pardon" executed the
same maneuver and regained the
right hand position.
"Say, what's the matter?" demanded
the friend.

planned the broker.
