Too Dangerous.

Old Aunt Hepsy Garside never had
seen a moving-picture show before
She gazed in speechless wonder at the
magic contrivance by which messen
ger boys were made to move with
breakneck speed, BARRIERS to shave
their customers in less than minute
and heavy policemen to dash along
the street at rate never attained by
living specimen, either on or of
duty.
It was all real to her. She could
not doubt the evidence of her senses
All those things were taking place ex
actly as depleted.
Presently an automobile came In
sight In the far background, moving
directly toward the audience at the
rate of at least mile minute. Just
as catastrophe seemed inevitable, 1t
swerved aside. passed on, and disap-
peared.
Aunt Hepsy could stand 1t no longer.
Hastily grasping the hand OF her little
niece, she rose and started swiftly for
the door.
Come along, Minervy!" she said.
1T amt safe to stay here any longer!
That thing didn't miss me more than
two feet!"-Youth's Companion.

BROOKLYN MAN
WILL SOLVE THE
RAT PROBLEM
UNITED STATES sUPERINTEND-

SOLUTION WHICH HE THINKS
WILL RID CITY OF RATS.
~ Associated Press.

New York, Jan 19-Under the su-
pervision Of Benjamin Russell, Unit
ed States superintendent of ware
houses at this port, experiments are
in progress here looking to a solution
of the rat problem which is a serious
one to warehouse authorities. A ware
house in Brooklyn has been selected
for the tests and a qUantiyt of virus
prepared by French scientist is be-
ing used. 1t is hoped the rats viii be
inOculated and become infected with
a fatal fever. When the infection is
developed sufficiently the rats will
first seek air and water and this will
be followed by a general exodus. In =
asmuch as the department of agricul-
ture estimates the rats do SIS, 700, 200
damages in this country annually the
result of the present experiment is
awaited with interest.

AN AMAZING

ELOQUENCE
Judge Was So Moved by At

forwards Had to Grant
New Trial.
BY AsxoeIa.sd Press.

Chicago, Jan. 1y--An amazing story
is told of the eloquence of Luther
Latin Mills, the famous lawyer who
died here yesterday. His oratoricai
powers are we'll remembered In one
case which Mr.. Mills prosecuted be
fore Judge W. K McAllister many
years ago the judge afterward grant
ed a new trial giving as his reason
for so doing that the eloquence of
Mr. Mills had SO moved him that he
had disregarded the evidence.
Mr. Mills's eloquence was so
great" said Judge MCAllister, in re
calling the case, long after he had
left the bench, that it carried away
the evidence and it was so with the
jury. His elOquence was greater than
the evidence and this was not appar-
ent to me until after a motion for a
new trial was made"

Mrs. L, a young and inexperienced
Sunday school teacher, was at times
sorely perplexed how to answer the
questions put to her by some of her
unusually bright pupils. One day just
after she had finished telling the CHI
dren the story that Adam was the first
man God created quiet reigned in the
class room for several minutes. Sud
denly up jumped little Rosie and In
piping voice said, ''Oh, teacher, you for
got to tell us whether God created
Adam right away a man or a baby"
Embarrassed Mrs. i. looked up to the
ceiling and then TO the children for an
inspiration, Happily she quickly spied
Betty's little hand raised above the
others eager to answer the question.
Teacher, l am surprised my sister
Rosie should ask such q foolish ques-
ton. Why, God must have created
Adam right away g big man. because
II God had created him a baby he
would have had to have a mother to
take care OF him."
