Bellinu a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house OF
rats is to catch one and iasten bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast. but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. II did have.
In the first place. the rat who wore 1t
was constantly on the move all night.
and the unkllng bell kept the family
awake. and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats 10 the
