Despite the discovery of the north
pole an immense amount of work

delphia Public Ledger. There Is still
display OF courage and daring In many
parts OF the world to satisfy the most
adventurous explorer. Many scientists
chiefly welcome the finding Of the north
pole because 1t will serve to direct the
energy of explorers to other parts of
the earth's surface. whose careful map

enormous regions as vet unvisttsd. A
century or more OF exploration will be

An Old Time Rat killing,

There is a good deal of complaint

rier some idea of these pests IA this
section i will tell of rat hilling

actual count. This did pretty well,
but on May 29th | had special IN
vitation to come and help my neigh
Dor with his rats. The force when
together consisted Of j. l.. Talley and
three sons, Robert, Christopher and
Oliver; w. M. Perry and two sons,
Charley and Andy, with three dogs,
each with a keen appetite for the
fun, which was soon begun. The
rats went in every direction, out at
every crack and hole. Every one
of us did his best and hollered for
help. | forgot that / was gray head
ed and seemed to be back in my
teens, with rat in each hand and
stamping at one with each foot. 1t

the storm was over cit lasted for

were not counted. How was that
for rat killing? NJ.
