THE DAILY AND WEEKLY
A large crowd witnessed its fight with
its thirty-seventh rat yesterday. The
rat was caught at the city hall by Punch
Blue, and weighed a trine over fifteen
ounces. He was fat and ugly, and the
chances were that he would eat up the
weasel, which did not weigh much more
than half as much.
The weasel had eaten its breakfast ofl
a pigeon and a half-grown rat, and
could not have been very hungry when
the old rat was pitied against him, but

looking roll of paper.
“Please hand that to the manager,”
said he.
The treasurer looked at it dubiously.
“I’ll give it to him, if you like,” he
remarked; “but I might as well tell
you that he’s got more manuscripts
now than he can shake a stick at, and

“Play!” said the young man, with a

me for, young feller? Do you think
I’m a play-writer? No, sir! I’m sales­
