Texas is over thousand miles

the direction of Emil Obenhotfer,

MUCH LIKE LEGAL. EXECUTION
How Two Women Justly Incensed,
Did Away With the Disturber
of Their Rest.

A north side family gave big"
dinner recently and left good part OF
1t on the table until the next morning.
In the night Mr., Rat smelled the good
things left on the table, sunk his teeth
into the butter, scratched the oyster
dressing out on the table and then,
getting his feet well soaked in the
cranberry sauce, seemed to delight In
leaving his red tracks all over the
white table cloth.
The next night the two woman
members of tho family were in the
house alone They heard the rat In
dustriously gnawing his way through
the kitchen floor. He finished the Job
and spent the greater part of the night
exploring the dining room and kitchen,
as he could BIO plainly heard In tne
stiffness.
When sleep became impossible the
two women, in spite OF their natural
fear of rats, got. out Of bed and chased
the rat back down the hole he had
gnawed in the floor. Then they laid
piece Of wood over the opening. But
the rat was persistent He pushed
the wood away and began his nightly
scammring. The two women got out
of bed again, and, placing a sadiron
over the hole, they vowed vengeance
on the disturber of their rest. With
all points Of egress In the shape OF
doors closed. there was no hope CT
escape for the rat,
After a chase Of half an hour the
rat finally took refuge in the kindling
box behind the stove A SEWN.
board was placed over the box and
the rat was captive, But that did
not end matters. The next problem
was the execution, Tired out, the
two women sat down to reflect. They
thought of hot water to scald the
enemy to death. But they decided /.
was too cruel So they dressed,
got wash tub, placed kindling box
and all in the tub and carried the tub
out under the hydrant The water
was turned on and the kindling box
was held down under the water. Aid
thus the rat died. This story merely
explains the screams that came from
the house mentioned OF course tho
neighbors knew tho trouble when thew
saw the rat the next morning, but they
didn't know what to think of 1t until
the situation was Indian.

SURPRISING Auto Noises.

Not only has the careless and in

Canned Bananas.

New canning and preserving proc
esses, reported from Formosa and
Buenos Aires, may ultimately have a
great effect on food prices. 1t is said
that a japanese confectioner In Tai
nan, South Formosa has discovered a
process by which the banana may be
canned. He has interested several
wealthy Japanese. and a 100000 com.
pany has been orgaenlzed to build
two factories. AS canned or conserv-
ed bananas have been very unsatis-
factory. the Formosan undertaking
will be watched with much interest.
An official test has been made In
Buenos Aires Of new Argentine
process Of preserving meats, Ash and
vegetables. The invention. which is
patented consists In the preparation
OF a fluid that may be used by the
housewife as well as In large estab.
lishments The commission which
made the official test states: AS the
chemical analysis has not revealed
the presence Of any antiseptic or any
other substance injurious to health it
may be concluded that meat and fish
treated In this manner are perfectly
adapted for food"

Poor Children Have Beat Teeth7

A doctor In the British Medical
Journal makes the statement that the
most perfect teeth he has seen have
been in the mouths OF the children of
the very poor-children who never
possessed a tooth brush. This physi-
clan states that these youngsters eat
more carbohydrates and less deter.
gent material; also, they eat fewer
sweets, and, possibly, which is more
to the point, there Is something In
their organizations which resists both
sweets and starch.
