RAT KINGS
 SECRET LOST

In the early sixties or the last ecu tury the Smithsonian institution was infested with rats. Nothing ln the building seemed to be rat proof. They ate skins cured with arsenIcal soap or table linen or the contents of Professor Heury's pantry without discrimination. Every one in the city, from Professor Henry to the bootblack, had one sub ject in common, and that was 'rats."
 As Professor Henry, who lived in the east end of the building, was lis- teniug to an account of the ruin wrought in his home during that day Professor Spencer Baird walked in and said, just as If he had been fol- lowing every word of the family con versutlon, "I have just been told that there is man in Philadelphia who can rid this place of ratJ,'
 Professor Henry's eyes expressed interest and incredullty at tho same moment.
 q have bis address here" went on the assistant secretary. "He calls himself the 'ratten kouig' and won't take a cent if a rat remains and has"-
 "WeIl send for him if 1t takes our last thousand cents to do it" said Professor Henry and laughingly pre- dlcted the repetition of the famous old tale Of the Pied Piper of Hamelln.
 Several days later the "rat king" appeared in Washington. Be was al- most as short as he was broad and wore clothes too loose for description; they had no shape. He carried a large ollcloth sack aud covered basket His penetrating blue eyes were almost covered by shaggy eyebrows, and his blond hair had not been cut, but hag- gIed. His manner was short and brisk, and he went straight to the point, talking to Professor Henry in German.
 He declared that not a rat would be in the building three days hence if his directions were obeyed. During that time he would stay in the basement alone; every door was to be locked, and on no account was he to be dis turbed until he gave them the signal. So they left him in absolute darkness and carried out his directions
 On Sunday morning the queer old man emerged from the darkness 90 confident of his success that he re- fused to accept the money which was his due then and there, but insisted that Professor Henry mail the cheek to him in Philadelphia the following week.
 "Now you can leave your food in Che basement, and 1t won't be touched And I won't take a cent # you are troubled with rats," were bis parting words.
 Cheese and cake were directly placed about the building to tempt the rats. Morning after morning they were found as they had been left, and from that day to this the Smithsonian iust- tuition has never been seriously trou- bled with rats. And no one has ever found out the secret of the "rat kings" method.-YoutHs Companion,

Susan B. Anthony was a woman Of simple taste in dress, but her close friends knew of one pretty feminine vanity that she always held to. She had a weakness for silk stocEingU. Be ing pressed on one occasion for an oG- planaHon of what most women at one time regarded as an unnecessary eE- travagance, she laughingly exclaimed: "Oh, just love 'eml They are an in- splration. If have my silk stocdng5 on when l rise to make on addre55 l feel just as if I am walking among the clouds They help me to SORT away on flights of eloQuence. I wouldn't be without them"

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Trading on the local stock exchange
yesterday did not differ largely from that
OF recent days. The bidding for bonds
vas active; in fact, the offerings were
not equal TO the demand Prices were
not raised in the bids. and this may have
affected the results 10 some degree.
Many OF the local dividend payers VIII
return 10 the holders the semi-annual
interest next week. and It Is likely that
after that time the activity Of these
securis .es may fall of little. On the
other hand. more money viii be avail
able Ior the purchase Of interest-bearing
securities
The traction shares offered about the
usual Inducements 10 buyers. and they
were traded in 10 & moderate extent. Cap
ital Traction rising 20 1851.
Gas stock came out more freely than
at any time in recent days, selling at
651k. Mergenthaler was firm at 209. and
Emerson Steam Pump. which was listed
only few months ago and has entered
but little into the operations on the ex-
change, sold a few shares on call and
after call al S12 q share
