A certain town in Connecticut is rat
metropolis. They are so little interfered with
there that they are not shy. and when there
are only few people in the station, the rats
come out and help themselves to the proven
der. One day, woman employed in the sta
tion heard humping noise on the restaurant
counter, and looking in the direction Of the
noise, saw rat taking hard-boiled egg
from the counter. When the rat jumped
down with his booty, the lady watched the
animal closely as he returned and took a
second egg from the plate. He was evidently
an old and knowing rat. The eggs were
covered with wire screen. The rat had
been there before. He walked carefully
around the plate, inspecting the screen, touch
ing the cover with his noise; then he put one
foot under it, and with foot and head pushed
the wire cover off the plate until one side
rested on the counter, with the other side
raised up. He then took an egg in his paws
and rolled it two feet away, and left it on
the counter. The rat then returned to adjust
the cover. With teeth and feet he succeeded
in dragging the cover over the eggs. He then
surveyed his work like careful mechanic,
and it did not suit his ratship. So he gave
it a little more pulling to adjust it, and step
ping back again, took another look, and that
settled it. Everything seemed to be replaced
just as he had found it. Having removed
everything that would excite suspicion, be
took the second stolen egg and departed.
Human thieves have done a poorer job than
that old rat did. He showed signs of wisdom,
if he was only guided by instinct.
Wou will say that that rat was thief, but
you must not Judge hastily. A rat cannot know
that when he finds eatables, they were not
placed there for him to eat. Now, here is
another rat that exhibits intelligence in an

So much humpuggery has been
handed the American public OF late
years that Uncle Sam has found il
necessary to take hand in nearly ev.

by far his greatest move for the protec'

In the case Of medicines, very few
had always published their formulas,
and the regulations of the new law did
not affect them. One of these, and
one which probably enjoys the most
marked confidence and widespread
popularity, is DR.. Andes Great Pre-
scription, q preparation guaranteed to
cure rheumatism, catarrh, indigestion,
dyspepsia, blood impurities and all
forms of stomach, liver, kidney and
bladder trouble. This remedy has
made hundreds of permanent cures in

MARSHAL ARNow REPORTS.
The New Marshal Will Make Good
Showing for First Month in Office.

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the new City Council on next Mon
day night, which will be the first reg
ular meeting since the Council was
organized, Marshal Arrow will pre-
sent a good report. which will indi
cate that he has been very busy for
the period he has been engaged.
1t was once said that Marshal Ar.
now, If elected, would protect the in.
terest of the owners of cattle in the
corporate limits, and would not ar.
rest the cows on the outskirts of the
city-or, to be plain the COWS which
mad been accustomed to grazing
within short distance of the line;
but this statement seems TO be un.
authorized, for that official takes in
everything within the city limits, with
the result that thirty.eight cattle
have been impounded since he was
sworn into office April 12-eighteen
days.
Marshal Arrow will show a report
from April -, when he assumed of.
fee, to May 1, which gives thirty ar.
rests, S15S.75, and thirty-eight cattle
impounded, $40, making a total of
S172.75 for the portion OF the month
of April, eighteen days, which is one
of the best ever shown in Gainesville.
