wheat where the rat would most
likely run in the night, which
he did. In the morning he
found that all the grains of
wheat had disappeared and felt
that at last he had accomplished
it's destruction.
Mr.. Harmon is quite a coffee
drinker and in going to make
coffee that morning for break
fast took up the coffee pot to
throw out the grounds, when he
noticed grain of wheat in the
spout of the coffee pot and on
looking inside found all of the
wheat he had soaked in the
cyanide solution mixed with the
coffee grounds. This was too
much, his life was In danger, so
he quit patching and went to
boarding. The rat still lives
and if anyone thinks they have
a way of catching Mr.. Rat, he
will confer a favor by imparting
that information to Mr. Harmon.

Why He Quit Batching.

H. c. Harmon, who construct
ed a house of rock on the Mob
Hill side of Meadow Valleylstreet
last year, was troubled this
winter by occasional visits of a
large rat, of what species he so
far has been unable to determine.
The eyes of the rat seemed to be
of a changeable hue, and at no
time when he saw it did both
eyes look alike.
At first he tried to kill it by
throwing sticks and stones at it,
but either his aim was bad or the
agility of the rat was too much;
for it kept out of the way with
apparently no effort.
Harmon next consulted a
neighbor of his who fixed up the
ever sure figure-four, with the
assurance of a sure catch of Mr..
Rat. 1t was baited with cheese,
bacon and other delicacies, and
10, the next morning, all around
the figure-four was piled chips,
shavings, rocks and a knife,
fork and spoon.
Harmon then went to our To-
cal druggist for some strychine,
as he was bound to get that rat;
the druggist being out of strych-
nine suggested getting a few
grains of wheat, soak them in
a cyanide solution (the most
