swamp lake where, he placed some rats
last year. At toe rate of increase the

sowr a small nlot with carrots and other
vegetables, and as soon as the rats dis
cover that there is plenty of food they
flock to the feeding place

ta, commenting on the fact that Uncle
Sam spends $lf>,000 annually to sup
press bootlegging among the whites
and prohibiting the sale of home brew
to the aborigines, rises to remark that
twice uhat amount should be expended
annually to prevent the natives from
selling hootch to the whites, as he con
siders them much more adept than the
whites at this practice. In support of
his contention tha t the aborigines make
the best home brew, the natives say
“tv, Le cookum ” whereas the whites
seem content with one “cookum.’
