Who Drank All
That Red Ink?
Whoever Did Better Keep Out Of the
Path of Dan Butler, City
Clerk.

What became Of all that red ink, is
what l want TO know, and it's what 1 am
going to find out" said CITY Clerk Butler.
we know that everything else sent out
Of this office for the registration booths
went through all right and was there when
needed. why all the red ink should dis
appear we cannot quite figure out. I've
heard of men drinking vinegar, and the
liquor in which beets nave been picked
has a reputation among men Of strong
tastes, just as cologne and painkiller is
popular with Indians, but I'm up against
a new stunt on this red ink game. why,
enough of the fluid was sent out TO float
a man, and nearly all Of it vanished.
This morning a friend gave me a tip
to look up certain people with red noses,
but how am 1 going to tell how long those
shining headlights have been in the MAX
ing? A chemical friend at Creighton says
the stomach that can rejoice in a red ink
bath would be a Joy to the clinic room;
and, from another source, comes the tip
that certain moochers were displaying a
fiery brand Of hilarity after s o'clock Mon
day evening-and far from a saloon, too.
Tn puzzled, I'll admit, and the only
good explanation so far comes from a
man who says the word was passed in
certain quarters that a particular blend
Of exciting whisky has long been credited
among the wise ones as being composed
Of red ink and pepper sauce. / am on that
trail now, and the solution of this fierce
waste of city property may be at hand"

Heap Drunk

Next Hereditary Chief of Omaha Tribe
'Fesses Up and Goes

AS a result Of heap flrewater" Ralph
Woods, whose native name means Bold
Young-Heart,' and who says he is a grand
son of the famous Indian chief Red Cloud,
stood before Police Judge Crawford and
pleaded that he was a good Indian.
Wood came to Omaha to see the splendor
Of King Ak-Sar-Ben and was so impressed
that he fell to drinking the health of the
king, as a toast from one monarch to an
other, for In his own right and by direct
descent Bold-Young-Heart is the next chief
of the Omahas, his native tribe. The health
of King Ak-Sar-Ben proved too much for

refused to say anything other than that he

the duties and responsibilities Of one who
was a leader among his own people, al
lowed him to depart. The Judge is often
spoken Of as a good Indian himself.

there have been long and earnest consulta-
tons directly between the king and the
prime minister, and between the latter and
Lord James Hereford. who, having always
taken a somewhat detached view Of party
strife, is better able to press his majesty's
wishes on the leaders than any other pub
lie man in England.
1t is a rather delicate matter for the
king to intervene in domestic affairs, and,
as a matter of fact, this is the first time
he has openly done so. He has precedents
for this, however. Queen Victoria having
interviewed twice. on the Irish church bill

THE RAT KING.
His Method Was Successful, but u
Remains a Secret.

His Method Was Successful, but u
Remains Secret.
In the early sixties Of the last CEN
fury the Smithsonian institution was
infested with rats. Nothing in the
building seemed to be rat proof They
ate skins cured with arsenical soap or
table linen or the contents ofN'rofessor
Henry's pantry without discrimination.
Every one In the city, from Professor
Henry to the bootblack, had one sub
feet in common, and that was rats"
AS Professor Henry, who lived In
the east end of the building, was lis
tening to an account of the ruin
wrought in his home during that day
Professor Spencer Baird walked In
and said. just as If h" had been fol-
lowing every word of the family con-
versation. Il have just been told that
there is man In Philadelphia who
can rid this place Of rats"
Professor Henry's eyes expressed
interest and incredulity at the same
moment.
Il have his address here" went on
the assistant secretary. HE calls
himself the 'ratten kong and won't
take cent il a rat remains and has
We'll send for him IL 1t takes our
last thousand cents to do 1t" said
Professor Henry and laughingly pre-
dicted the repetition of the famous old
tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Several days later the rat king"
appeared in Washington. He was al
most as short as he was broad and
wore clothes too loose for description;
they had no shape. He carried large
oilcloth sack and a covered basket.
His penetrating blue eyes were almost
covered by shaggy eyebrows, and his
blond hair had not been cut, but bag
gled. His manner was short and
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
tuFDeu uHtu NE gave tueIn Tue SlShdl
So they left him in absolute darkness
and carried out his directions.
On Sunday morning the queer old
man emerged from the darkness so
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 check
to him in Philadelphia the following
week.
Now you can leave your food in the
basement, and 1t won't be touched.
And I won't take a cent If you are
troubled with rats" were his 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 insti-
tuition has never been seriously trou-
bled with rats. And no one has ever
found out the secret OF the "rat kings
method.-Youth's Companion.
