THAT EAST SIDE SEWER.
The Way the Work on tho Affair W,
Abandoned.

The Way the Work on tho Affair Was
Abandoned.
Health Officer Powers stated to q
HERALD reporter yesterday that while
he did not desire to make formal reply
to the published statements about his
responsibility for the lack of proper sew
age in some of the East Side schools,
still he wished to say that he had made
q recommendation to the council az to
the necessity for the laying of sewer
that would properly handle the sewage.
He could not, he said, control the coun-
cil's actions.
Later, in talking about the matter, one
OF the councilmen said that he knew
where the responsibility rested. The
work had been begun on the sewer, and
was afterwards abandoned at the in
stance of Councilman Nickel. This
councilman said it was he who was
responsible for the work being stopped,
and not the entire council.

RAISES RATS FOR A LIVING.

A Kansas City Man Who Furnishes Ro-
dents for "SportInE" Purposes.
Rat culture is something of which
one-tenth of the world knows little and
the other nine-tentns knows nothing.
Yet right in the center of Kansas City
there f1ourishes rat farm" Down in
a dingy basement of a house on Twelfth
street there is wooden box about
twelve feet square and four feet deep,
lined with zinc. The floor of this box
is covered with straw. Loaves Of bread
with the edges nibbled off and with
holes in the crust litter the straw, to-
gether with a pan of water and pieces
of cheese certainly old enough to be
ranked prime. There are rats in this
box, plenty of them. The rodents had
nestled all close together when the
outer portal to their domain was noisily
unbolted the other night and the
proprietor of the rat farm" cautiously
descended the steep stairway to the cell
lar, conducting a Times reporter and
several friends. These visitors, too,
were cautious, very, for misstep would
have sent a man headlong into the zinc
lined box to meet in close quarters two
hundred rats of various dispositions,
sizes and color A light was struck and
in an instant the floor of straw was I'M
dulating in manner to make the poet
ical ANGRY sea" ashamed of itself. The
horde of rodents, in their hurry to get
the farthest they could from the light,
crowded over each other and squealed
and squirmed themselves out from
under their covering to a bare corner.
Here was pyramid of nearly two hun
bred wriggling rats that gave one the
cold chilTs to look upon, There were
rodents of all classes, distinctions and
descriptions. Gray rats, black rats,
dun rats, yellow rats, young rats and
old rats, fat rats and rats with trans
parent hides. The pied piper never
saw a better collection.
1t is not hard to maintain a rat farm,
so the keeper said. First few Of the
despised animals are procured and put
in the pit. They attract Others, who
crawl up the rough sides of the outside
walls of the pit and slide down to call
on their friends. They can't get out.
Then they multiply quickly.

WHAT LOVE ONCE DID.
1t Drove This Man from the Footlights to
Woodchopper's Shanty.


Woodchopper's Shanty.
Love made a recluse of a man who Is
now three-quarters of a century old,
and who has avoided his fellows for
nearly thirty years. He calls himself
John Smith, and his hermitage is in the
mountains not far from Erving, Mass,
SAYS the Brandon Rumor.
He was an actor and she was an
actress. They were engaged, quarreled,
and separated. The lovers mind be-
came unbalanced, and while yet in the
prime of life he abandoned his pro-
fession and sought the semi-solitude
which has now grown to be a habit
with him.
1t NAV be remarked that no one
knows his real name. That of John
Smith is an alias, and he frankly ac-
knowledges that he has taken every
precaution to conceal his identity. He
visits nobody, but during the past few
years many people have been to see
him. He is sort of local fad and the
folks thereabouts almost love him.
The old mans hair and beard are white
as snow. He delights to chat with
visitors, and on pleasant Sundays of
summer and autumn the grounds
around his little cottage are covered
with scores of teams and hundreds of
visitors.
For the time being the grounds are
converted into picnic grove, and the
old man shares the hospitality of his
visitors, tells them quaint stories, and
in return they give him the remnants
of their feasts and little gratuities, and
purchase the photographs of himself
and his cats.
In the winter the old man lisa genuine
hermit, so far as human beings are con-
cerned, but in and around his cabin he
has no less than a dozen cats, to say
nothing of the wild cats that every lit
tie while are killed on the surrounding
hills, and he is as proud of Jim Fisk"
and Lady Ann" as ever a fond mother
was of her first-born twins.
The house which he occupies was for
merly a woodchopper's shanty, and it is
little better now. The boards inside the
living room are covered with playbills
and pictorial printing.
