RATS WORRIED THE FIREMEN
Hose Turned on Them In Burning
New York Store Drowns Them
by the Dozen.
A fighting army of rats assailed the
£ men of Truck 20 last night In the
moldy shack of a junkman down In
the dark of East One Hundred and
Eighteenth street, near First avenue,
the New York Sun says. The Are that
was there was little, but the rets were
large and many, and It was upon them
that the firemen turned the water.
When the truck company, with the
engii.e, pulled up before the door of
the dingy junk shop a murky red was
showing through the windows and
smoke was seeping through the cracks.
Battalion Chief Howe ordered his men
to break down the doqr, and with tbem
he ran in the linea of hose.
Hardly had he stepped Inside when
the rotten boards of the floor broke
with his weight and he fell through.
There was a sudden pin-point shriek
and something with shining dots tor
a eyes ran up the chief's legs. The chief
NINETEEN ARE DEAD
AND 344 INJURED
batted at it with his hand Just as it,,
was climbing his coat, squeaking hor-
ribly.
Then the men saw others, hun-
dreds, they say. In the light of the,
fire, which was feeding on the heaps^
of rags, bones and ancient junk in the.
rear- of the .shop, the firemen saw
them, squirming up through holes In
the floor, scattering through the smoke
along the rafters, tumbling In suffoca-
tion down the piles of smoldering rags.
The ratB climbed up the firemen's
boots and worried a way under their
coats. Some dropped from the celling
on their helmets.
"Ugh! Let the fire burn and give
the stream to 'em, boys," yelled the
chief, and after that the water plowed
the length of the floor and searched
the walls, carrying with it the bodies
of the drowning rats by the dozen.
8ome of the streams carried through
the rotten roof and rats began to drop
with the water on the heads of the
Italians that had massed themselves
In fioat of the burning building.

How Mrs. Kessler Was Rescued from
Almost Certain Death.
Few have lived through such trials
and suffering from kidney disease as
were endured by
Mrs. Caroline Kaes-
ler of W. Main St.,
Paw Paw, Mich. Well
and strong again,
her case is thought
a miracle by her
friends. What Mrs.
Kessler went
through makes a
long story — back-
ache, rheumatism, dizxy and fainting
spells, urinary disorders, dreadful
bloating of dropsy and finally a com-
plete prostration that defied medical
skill and caused her to be given Up.
Through the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills Mrs. Kessler is a well woman
and Is willing to tell about her case
to anyone who cares to inquire.

The Marital Grasshopper.
What is a grasshopper? Tbe latest
definition comes from western Aus-
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there, and wives have te
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled to recuperate at the sea-
side in summer. In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands so engaged have come to be
locally known as "grasshoppers." No
doubt the word is the husband of the
more familiar "grass widow."—Lon-
don Chronicle.
AN OLD TIMER
Has. Had Experiences.
A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knovfti
from experience the wisdom of us-
ing Postum in place of coffee if one
values health and a clear brain. She
says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market I was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and myj>hysician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally I decided to
take his advice and try Postum. 1
got a package and had it carefully
prepared, finding it delicious to the
taste. So I continued its use and very
soon its beneficial effects convinced
me of its value, for I got well of my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
i "My husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and I persuaded
bim to shift to Postum. It was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. It cer-
tainly worked wonders for him.
I "We soon learned that Postum does
Wot exhilarate nor depress and doeB
not stimulate, but steadily and honest-
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
f "To make a long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, as shown In
pur fine condition of health ¿nd we
have noticed a rather unexpected im-
provement In brain and nerve power."
Increased brain and nerve power
always follow the use of Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner. "There's a Reason."

book, "The Road to WellviUe."
