nervous. Some one told me to tie a
bell around the neck of rat, and he
would frighten away all the other rats
and give the horses some peace"

was as easy as capturing the House at
the last election. How to get the bell
around the rats neck was quite as per-

ent problem of how Democrats can get
together on proposition to revise the
Tariff"
CATER catching the rat.I attempted
to hold him with one hand while with
