A ROASTED RAT.

end, Il Buddhist priest became ac-
quaiAted with n dainlio's courier who
on his journeys to and from Tokyo
would often stop and spend the night
at the temple. lie seemed to he II man
vi remarkable intelligence. with whom
1t was great pleasure to converse up
on all sorts of subjects. One night, as
the two We're talking together, the coll-
rier said.
II thank you for the many ftvors
you have shown me since we became
friends, but tomorrow morning must
bid you farewell and never see you
again"
"Why must that be-" asked the
priest
Il will tell you the whole truth" an
swcred the courier. 81 am not man,
but fox. For the purpose of deceiv-
ing the daimio assumed human form.
One of his retainers. however, became
suspicious and learned my secret. He
has made Il 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, II will be impossi-
bic for me to escapew
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 bitter
laugh: "Ah, It is only a roast rat that
can lead a 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.

forms of roasted rat."-Youth's Com
panion.

He greeted Verdi warmly. congratulate

After taking leave of the premier
Verdi went to the station buffet and on
returning to his train forgot his hat.
This was an opportunity not to be lost
by two admirers of the musician. They
had been watching him long. and now
they simultaneously sprang for the
hat. Both reached it Mt once, one
seizing one side of the brim and the
other the opposite. A lively combat
ensued, and the two swayed backward
and forward in their desire to retain
the treasure. The lady came off vic
torious. "Ahp' she exclaimed trium-

Her surprise was only equaled by
his dismhy when gentleman who
had been watching the conflict for
some time stepped forward with the
remark, "But this is my hiatt" A loud
laugh rang out from the onlookers, a
laugh in which even the combatants
were fain to join. The hat changed
hands, and the lady changed color
when a moment or two later she saw
the trap into which she had fallen.
1t was the hat of the great composer.
and the stranger had secured it by an
