BILLS IN RATS NEST.
Rodents Chew Up $500 of Hoarded Saw
ings to Make Cozy Home for
Young Ones.

WASHBURN, Wis. April 1S.-J Spe-
cial. IA bitter lesson in the destruct-
ability of boarded treasures, which many
an old and honored adage has taught
people are subject to the ravages OF
moths and maggots has been demon
strated to Joe Perro of this city In
Joe's case, the destroying force was more
powerful and ravaging than moths, but
the treasure was the savings of a life
time-S6OO in paper money.
y part of this fund which represented
many hard days of manual labor was to
have been expended in a pleasure trip
to his Canadian home this spring. Now
he will have to make the journey on
loaned funds. Perro was distrustfuI of
banks as repositories of money, and for
that reason he stored his green and yell
low certificates in the deep recesses of
his trunks, where he could lay his hands
on them at will.
But his security was false. Rats
which had invaded the house where Joe
made his home, gnawed their way into
his apartment, and finally into his trunk
which they found a haven of immunity
from disturbance. When Joe opened his
trunk recently to take out his roll, he
found the rodents had attacked his bills
and had munched them to bits to make
nests for their young ones.
a careful examination of the treasure
showed that the bills were chewed up
into such fine bits that they are abso-
lutely worthless. Joe has placed him
self on record as saying that he will
trust to banks after this.

ITALIAN SQUADRON TO DEPLOY IN
TURKISH WATERS.
Latins Provoked Over Postoffice Trouble
Duke Of Abruzzi One of
Commanders

ROME, April 1S.-Orders have been
issued for an Italian squadron TO make
demonstration in Turkish water, the
reason being that Turkey has objected
to the opening of Italian postofices i'll
Turkish territory such as are maintained
by other countries. This demonstration
is in no way connected with the Tripoli
situation.
The Tripoli situation arises from the
murder of an Italian missionary and the
persecution by the Ottoman authorities
of natives who have sold land to Ital-
ians.
The battleship commanded by the
Duke of Abruzzi forms part of the
squadron. Orders have been issued for
the duke to be ready to sail with his
command.
