rooms of the ranch house were bright

Rooster As a Rat Killer.

York, PA large game rooster
owned by William Reachard of North
Codorus township, is attracting at
tention all through the neighborhood
by its proficiency as an exterminator
Of rats and mice. The lanky fowl
stalks for hours through the corn
fields, watching for the rodents to run
from beneath shocks of fodder, their
favorite haunts. Once in the open. the
chase has only one termination in all
cases, the rooster easily overtaking

of it was Rosita McMullen; and she
was the daughter of old man McMul-
len of the Shutdown sheep ranch.
There came riding on red roam
steeds-or, TO be more explicit, on a
paint and a flea-bitten sorrel-two
wooers. One was Madison Lane and
the other was the Frio Kid. But at
that time they did not call him the
Frio Kid, for he had not earned the
honors of special nomenclature. His
name was simply Johnny Mercy.
It must not be supposed that these
two were the sum of the agreeable
Rosita's admirers. The bronchOs Of a
dozen others champed their bits at
the long hitching rack of the Sun

eyes that were cast in those savannas
that did not belong to the flocks Of

Tiers Madison Lane and Johnny Nc
Roy galloped far ahead, wherefore
they are to be chronicled.
Madison Lane, a young cattleman
from the Nueces country, won the
race. He and Rosita were married one
Christmas day. Armed, hilarious, vo-
ciferous, magnanimous, the cowmen
and the sheepmen, laying aside their
hereditary hatred, joined forces to
celebrate the occasion.

look well into the reckless habit
some people have IN the county
driving over the county bridges
in a faster gait than a walk.
Nothing wrecks bridge up worse
than fast riding or driving over
them the builders tell us. The
law provides fine of IS 90 for
this and the law should be en-
forced. Perhaps many of those
who have this habit do not know
it is a violation of the law. The
writer has called several citizens
attention to the law and all have
said they did not know it was q
violation of the law, but still
they do not heed. If one or two
were fined it would probably
make the offenders of this law
