Ferret on Display Responsi ble for Stories. City Hall Cronies Ontdo One An other in ThrilUns; Tales. WHENEVER old-timers see a fer ret the time Is at hand for reml- niscenses. There is one of the sleek, cute little creatures, so - well known in the rabbit and rat world, on display this week at the poultry show and It has resurrected all sorts of lurid tales. "Speaking of ferrets reminds me," says the old-timer, and then out comes a tale of adventure between terets, rabbits and rats. ' "Ever hunted rabbits with one of these things?" asked City Commission er Mann. "They're certainly the orig inal rabbit hunters. I remember one time " and then came a yarn about how a ferret single-handed routed a dozen rabbits out of a hole and aided in killing the whole bunch. "Oh, yes," Interposed another by stander at the cage, "they used to use them for stringing conduits. Put a rat in a cable, then take a ferret and tie a ball of string to his tale and turn him loose. He'll chase the rat through the cable and carry the string with him." "We used to use them to kill rats over on the East Side," said City Com missloner Kellaher. when he was able to squeeze a word into the conversa tion. "They used to chase rats as blK as dogs chase 'em into the river and drown 'em." "They'll do that, all right" put 1n another bystander. "I've seen them kill cats a dozen times their size." "And chickens and dogs, too," con tributed another bystander. And so the stories went and have been "wenting" all week. The little animal resembling a weasel is owned by William Doty. ' H. R.
