Sanitary Committee of defunct citi-
zens and l placed the boxes the ln-
spector left with me in the proper
place.
Two were set in the cellar and 2
old tins filed with water (iced) were
placed near them because the Thur
ston. Ballou committee claimed that
after the rats eat Benson, Smiths
poison they drink water and die.
They didn't. I mean the rats.
Two boxes were left in my deep
cellar which is usually full OF rats
and which dates back to the days of
the early missionaries.
| placed two other boxes filled
with the pomade looking material
that B. S. g. Co, are making little
fortune of out of the surplus" in

tions l placed more tins filled with
water in the vicinity.

the Thurston- Balou committee.
This morning at o'clock, the old
clock in the Kawaiahao church was

armed with long handled shovel
and lantern. Where was my poi
son? Every ounce Of it was eaten
and outside the holes of the rats
were the empty blocks, part of them
chewed up as if the rats had been
extraordinarily hungry.
Up in the attic the situation was
not quite as bad. There the "poi-
son" had been deyoured but the
boxes we're saved l informed the
kind inspector who gave me the
official" poison of my experience,
and he asked me whether had
placed any meat along with the poi"
son, and 1 answered that even the
Citizens Sanitary Committee could
not compel me to keep "table-
d'hote" for rats.
What is left of the boxes and the
rats are at your disposal, Mr.. Editor;
my terrier is on duty again.
