RAT DOES rRAPeze ACT.
walks Telegraph Wire, Beset by Spar
rows Until the End.

A gray rat walking along an electric
wire 80 feet above the ground for
many blocks furnished a novelty on
west Baltimore street. The feat,
which excels that Of any trick rat ever
exhibited In show, would seem a
cream OF the imagination but for the
iact that the spectacle Is absolutely
vouched for by thousands Of persons
VINO watched the strange sight from
SIX O'Clock until eight. Beset by q
number Of English sparrows, which
seemed to take a fiendish delight in at.
lacking the badly handicapped rodent.
ne at times varied his steady gait
along the wire by acrobatic perform,
ances calculated to ward of the at.
tacks Of the birds. He would sit up
on his launches on the slender wire,
no larger than lead pencil, and re-
connoiter before continuing his hap.
less journey from pole to pole. After
most gallant fight for life, which de.
served a better recognition undey the
rules of fair play, the unfortunate ami
NAL was finally knocked from the wire
at Carrolton avenue and Baltimore
street and dispatched by dog. Jus,
how the rat got on the wire in the first
place has not been satisfactorily ex
planned, but 1t is thought that dos
chased him omewhere-some persons
say as far east as the neighborhood Of
Howard and Baltimore streets-and
forced him to run up pole.-Balti

them disturbed thu others every mo-

party, being somewhat Of musician,
inwardly vowed vengeance, and at last
determined to put his feelings to

A Richmond (Va) minister not long
ago was asked to perform a marriage
ceremony by a young negro couple.
says Harper's Weekly. AS he had EN-.
ployed the groom for a year or two.
he consented, knowing what prestige
would come to the couple by reason Of
having been married by white minis

pair arrived and the ceremony pro-
ceeded. do you take this man for
better or for worse?" the minister
asked. For all her shyness the bride

Belllno a Rat,

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house of
rats Is to catch one and fasten a 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. 1t did have.
In the first place. the rat who wore 1t
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house Instead of being afraid Of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu
sic. Had the boy tied harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had dance every night.

he Had 1913 Chances.

Gov. Stuart OF Pennsylvania said
in Harrisburg of a bill that he op-
posed: This bill, at first glance. is
full of promise and enthusiasm and
hope, but II Is naive. 1t Is like the
young man of Kensington who pro-
posed for the hand Of the million.

The sIesssdnsss Of oIv,ne.

The tremendous benefactions of
Carnegie and Rockefeller are having
the effect, we are told, Of giving the
small-fry philanthropists cold feet and
soaring them out of the game, until
1t comes to pass that the man who has
only the beggarly 100000 or SO, to
bestow. evinces decided disposition
to buy fun less expensive, II likewise
less intense with his money. This
goes to suggest that philanthropists
are but flesh and blood, after all, and
banker MOTTO enter in a race where
they are to be not only beaten but
distanced at the post. The widows
mite is unexceptionable, of course
and 1t seems pity that nobody hears
the widows name laundering down
the ages.--Puck.
