RATS FURNISH SPORT.

The latest form of sport at the Royal Constabulary depot in Dub- lin, is rat-hunting. The recruits dining hall has been infested with rats, and the rodents have become such nuisance that it was found necessary to adopt some means of getting rid of at least the boldest ot these pests. The armorer was con- suited, and he immediately placed automatic trap doors over the holes, so that on a rat entering the hall he could not return. With the assist. ance of his famous Irish terrier and few of the boys, at various inter- vals during the early portion of the night the sport is giving every satis- faction, as on the first night no few. CT than F rats fell, killed either by the terrier or a mop. It is con- jectured that the unusual number of rats is due to the new drainage scheme, and the closing up of the newly opened drains will abate the nuisance.

COPS" HERolSM REWARDED
sut When Hubby Saw "!nferna" Ma chine He Said Things That
 Sounded Internal.

A young married couple received a neatly wrapped parcel. On the same side on which the address was written the word BEHOLD" was typewriter in capitals.
 The letter carrier was suspicious and warned the young lady who re- ceived it. The young lady knew ev- erything about the Rosalsky case, and also read what the judge said about treating suspicious looking parcels. Consequently she called a policeman. 'See here, cop" she said; Somebody sent me that mvs- terious package, but I am not going to open it." The cop put on very important air, fingered the parcel, snilfed at it, and finally decided to put 1t water. Then bravely-frst warning every one to get out of the house-he opened the parcel, and, Lord-it was box of cigars, and a card, "With compliments of Ed ward"
 The heroism of the cop was re- warded with drink, but the hubby as he. came home and looked at-the spoiled cigars roaringly uttered something that sounded very "infer- nal, indeed.

SWEEPING AS AN OMEN.

The only attention we pay to a sneeze at the present day is to en- deavor to get rid of the chill which causes it; but a sneeze in the days of old Greece was a matter of great concern and import.
 There was then god of sneez- ing, and great undertakings would even be abandoned if man sneezed at an inappropriate moment, the act being looked upon as the oracle of the god.
 A sneeze between midnight and noon was looked upon as fortunate sign, but between noon and mid night it betokened great misfortune. To sneeze to your right was lucky; to the left unlucky. Two or four sneezes were lucky, one or three very unlucky, and any undertaking in hand should, if possible, be aban- doned; more than four sneezes did not count.
 There is a saying in many parts of England today, "Once a wish, twice kiss, three times letter, four times something better" If people sneezed together it was good sign, particularly if they happened to be discussing business.

BEYOND HIS POWER.

No more bafiing problem has con- fronted a London magistrate for some time than that which was pre- sented by an applicant the other day who complained that when he re- quested his wife to get up in the morning at seven o'clock she refused, necessitating his doing some of the household duties. He asked the magistrates advice on the matter, to which the "arm of the law" re- piled: ''It is beyond my magisterial
 power to help you. I know of no power in this world or the world to come to compel woman to get up when she doesn't want to. Perhaps the court missionary may have some power. (Laughter.) If I could cure lazy women by issuing gen. eral edict l would do so promptly"

"These children, approximately one third of all children under fourteen years of age, cannot keep up with the ordinary school curriculum, which is devised to meet tho needs of perfectly healthy, normal, aver age, well-fed, well-cared-for young sters.o

SWINDLING ON LARGE SCALE
Organization That Worked Spanish Prisoner Trick Conducted Like
 Big Commercial Enterprise.

The police of Balboa, says Madrid correspondence of the London Daily News, have discovered an influential organization the members of which have been engaged in working what IS known as the Spanish prisoner swindle."
 The concern was conducted like a big commercial undertaking, there being a managing director, a staff of employees, ledgers and classified correspondence. The concern has notifications all over Spain, each provincial capital having a branch and office with a subdirector and a special code for the transmission of secret messages.
 There are workshops for the mak- ing of the false seals, which were used to give an appearance of genu- ineness to counterfeit documents like court orders and magisterial de- cisions.
 Owing to the concern having an excellent espionage service, the chief operators of the swindle got warn- ing in time of the intended action of the police. The general manager had an automobile always ready at his disposal, and availing himself of this he crossed the frontier into France. Only subordinates and a caretaker were arrested.

RECORD WooING STUNT.

The matrimonial record is held by a chauffeur of Los Angeles, Cal, who met, wooed and won his bride in thirty minutes, few days ago. He was experiencing difficulty with his automobile one morning while in the business section of the city. He tried to start the machine, but the crank ''kicked back" and his arm was se- verely injured. Along came fasci- hating young woman. She dressed his injured arm for him, talking pleasantly the while. "I wish 1 had a wife," remarked the chauffeur. ''Well, this is leap year," unused the fair one, ''will you marry me?" For answer the motorist swung her to a seat in the automobile and disre- garding speed laws, dashed to the court house, obtained a marriage license and sought justice of the peace, who performed the ceremony.

NAPOLEON AND HIS WARDROBE
First Consul Had Passion for Clothes but His Tailor Had
 Own Way.

Napoleon, according to a writer, had a passion for clothes. Leger, his tailor, however, held a poor opinion of his clients taste. Leger is quoted to this effect: "I consistently ignored Napoleon's suggestions concerning clothes. He wished the skirts of his tunic to be turned back like those of Frederick the Great. T could not think of allowing such a thing, sire,' I told him. 'The eyes of the whole world are upon you. I would not make you such tunic if you off, fered me the whole of your empire. The emperor laughed heartily, and gave way.
 ''He restocked his wardrobe in 1910. Up to that year he had been so parsimonious that his whole out fit, exclusive of lace and trimmings, was not worth e80 (S4o0). I then obtained a standing order for six gray greatcoats in the winter and a like number of green uniforms in summer.
 "He also had a new pair of trou- sers and white Kerseymere waist coat once . fortnight. These were his chief expenses"

LUCKY TRAMPS IN ITALY
Has Few Things to Worry About In Country of Blue Skies and
 Sunshine.

Assuredly the tramp in Italy is a man to be enviedl Save for coat to his back and shoes to his feet there are few things which he need worry about as he passes from vil- lage to village in that country of blue skies and sunshine. Food he can find in the vineyards and on the fig trees, drink is obtainable almost for nothing, so plentiful is wine, and shelter is provided for him-gratis by benevolent government. "T was often struck during my recent journey in northern Italy," says writer in the Wide World, 'Fby the delightful public dormitories which are erected by the roadsides through out the country, especially in the valleys leading from the Mediter- ranean coast to the hill towns of Ll- guria. visited a dormitorio pub blico on the highway near Campo rosso, in the Nervia valley, and sure- ly no wayfarer could desire a more charming resting place.

FELL INTO LIONS DEN.

A young cyclist had very nar- row escape from being torn to pieces by lions while performing at the Fortunio menagerie at Lencon, near Paris, the other day. While looping the loop he fell from a height of 20 feet in the air among the lions, who at once sprang at him. Fortunately the trainer was equal to the occa- sion, and standing over the cyclist drove the wild beasts back. He kept them at bay until the cyclist was carried away. Although he was clawed, and has a broken leg, the young mans injuries were not dan- gerous.

W. F. Melang is candidate for COM
missioner of public works, subject to the
approval of the voters of Everett at
the primary election on June A.
He is native of the state of Wis
cousin.
Resided in Everett for the past eleven
years.
At the beginning of the Spanish
American war he enlisted in a volunteer
regiment and served throughout the war.
He is a member of the Spanish American
War Veterans.
He has been secretary of the local
bricklayers' union more terms than he
cares to count, no one being found will
ing to enter the race against him for that
responsible position.
He has worked at the brick laying
trade for many years. both as journey
men and foreman. He has been fore
man for several large contractors on big
construction jobs where all mans
knowledge and ability to supervise men
was brought into play. He has had great
experience in sewer and concrete work
and is probably as we'll qualified from
an actual working standpoint as any
man in the city. This city has an i'm
mense amount of street work ahead of
it and in the practical knowledge pos
sessed by the head of the department of
public works, Mr.. Melang believes the
taxpayers must depend both for quality
of work and cost.

lang. at won't make any difference to
me what are his politics or religion nor
how he stands on any question foreign
to the work of the department, but does
he know how to do the work right in
the particular position he is hired to
fill. l believe the people of the city
are entitled to the best service obtain
able and that no other consideration
should enter into the matter"
Mr., Melang is answerable to no one
but himself for the fact hat he is a can
didate and recognizes no clique nor com
bination. He wants the votes of those
who believe he is the man best fitted
for the position and will hold no ami
mostly toward those who favor some
other man.
With the above square declaration OF
his principles he is willing to go before
the people for election.
