DEAD RATS
PACKED IN PARCELS NOVEL RUSE DEFEATED "You will see a little parcel lying near our front door when you go out," said an executive on the staff of a Wellington, office, when a reporter called the other day. "Don't pick it up," he added. In reply to a question, the executive explained that it was the caretaker's way of getting _rid of a dead rat. It was his practice to tie the rodent up in a neat little brown paper parcel, leave it at the front door, and invariably some curious person took it away. The reporter arrived at the front door in time to see an elderly man pick up th(* parcel. The tinder of the parcel did what an honest man should do. He carried the parcel up two lliglits of stairs, handed it in at the office, and explained that lie found it at the front door.
