This Rat Was Sure Hungry.

1t is known that a rat is a persist
ent gnawer and rarely ever gives up
a job Of gnawing 1t undertakes, If the
job requires all summer. ]. H. Hou-
chens, who conducts produce and
creamery business on the first floor of
Judge Colyer's building, on Main
street, was annoyed with the depreda-
tons of rats which were raiding his
produce, and he thought he would
succeed In barring them out by tack
ing copper-faced metal electrotype
plate over the aperture through which
the rodents gained access to his room
from the outside. But to his surprise
and dismay he found one morning that
the rats had gnawed crescent-shaped
hole through the electrotype and again
got into his place of business. This
may appear to be fish story to some
but 1t Is stern citation of fact. Those
who doubt 1t should call on Mr.. Hou-
chens and examine the electrotype.-
