One of the men stood upon the seat of the boat and sank the blade of his axe into the creature's neck, and with a Jlnal spurt of water and blood, It rolled over upon Its side and died.

A rat got caught by tho leg In a Susquehanna store and squealed loud ly for mercy. The proprietor of the store watched the rat, which continued to squeal. Finally another rat crept cautiously out and walked up to his unfortunate companion, and evident ly took tho situation In, for they seemed to talk with each other, and arrived at tho conclusion that the captured rat's chnnces were desperate, for the second one began to gnaw the unfor tunate rat's leg off, allowing It to es cape, which It did, jumping away on three legs, the other leg remaining In the trap. It almost seemed as If they had deliberated over the case, and had reached the only possible means of es cape.
