piled the chief. Ben IS one of the
fire horses. He is Il big bay, kind and
gentle. One great trouble Ben has Is
Il constant fear of rats and mice.
The instant rat PORES it's head up
through q crack in the floor, or ven
lures. up too near Ben, he throws his
feet OH top OF a railing which stands
two feet from the floor. and there he
stands until the mouse or rat dis
appears. Ben and the cats work to-
gcther. When the horse begins climb
ing on the railing and making ali
kinds of noise, the cats have learned
that there is mouse in Ben's corner.
They come from all parts Of the sta
ton, and the frightened horse is
soon at peace again.-Our Dumb
Animals.
