Eugene Journal.
Ed Poill, a student at the Eu
gene university, while going from
his home in Springfield, along the
rsilroad track, and studying his
lesson as he walked, thoughtlessly
t iyed with a self-cocking revolver
in his pocket, the result being a
bullet in his leg. A university
student has no use for a revolver,
but if he carries one, the best leg
to put a bullet through is his
own.

RATS ON THE RAMPAUE.
They lnvftile Kiiruiar'a I'reiuliwt' will
Mulct, A (lritt StKht.
The village of President, an old-timo
petroleum center, is in the (111 creek at
Pennsylvania. There is whom tlie
Ramses, once a famous family of oil
operators, had their home, and some of
them live there and thereabout yot.
One of these is Henry Karns. The
other day, early m the morning, he
hoard his pic which had reached the
proper condition for killing, squealing
in such an agonizing way in tlie pen
that he know something was wrong
with it. Karns' first thought was
tear, for now and thou, even at this
late date, bears venture from the dis
tant woods to the sleepy towns in that
part of the valley and try their skill on
pigs and sheep. (So Karns took his pun
and hurried to the pig pen. Hut instead
of hears rats were the impudent in
vaders of the pigpen and hungry assail
ants of tiie pig.
ilie Btyo was simnlv alive with rats.
The pig was prostrate on the floor of
llio non, and literally covered with this
horde of rats, whieh wore squealing,
lighting among themsolves for vantage
ground on the fat porker, and gnush
iag and gnawing at thu pig's flesh,
i om his head to his rump. To fire hto
!;un into the Swarming ruts would be
tlie endangering of the pig, and think
ing that a prompt and vigorous attack
on the nits would put them to flight, he
clubbed his gnu and began mauling
right and left with it. Tuo pig hud
jdainly made a dosperute light .agaiuht
its nssailants, for scores of rnts lay
dead about the pon. The moment
Kiinis pitched into the nits those in the
outer runks turned on him. They came
at him in such force that ho was uu
able to fight them off, and after i brief
attempt to hold his ground he turned
and fled. Hastening back to the house
he drew the buckshot from bin gun and
loaded it with fine shot, lie turning to
the pen, he gave, the great body of ruts,
shooting along the side of the pig so as
not to injure it, the charge of both bar
rels. .Many of them were swept down
before it, but their plaeos were quickly
taken by others. Karns fired llvo times.
The rats that were left still held their
ground.
Tlie shots had attracted the attention
of the neighbors, who run to tlie place
to see what was going on. This arrival
oi reinforcements alarmed the rats, and
the survivors retreated, scampering
away in all directions. The pig was
.lead. The flesh had been stripped trom
it clear to the bone in many places. Its
eyes had been plucked out, and its
heart half eaten in two. A half-'ousJiol
basketful of dead rats wore taken from
thu pen. Where the rodents came from
so suddenly in such great numbers is
not known. None of them has been
seen since.
