The play is modern in every respect
and deals with the men and women
who figure daily in the world of

play, but back and behind the social
veneer deep passions throb and the
frailtles OF h.:man nature as well as
its brighter sides are.made manifest.

to conflict, but the contending prin-
are reconciled by a master
stroke of genius and superior wisdom.

PESTS KILLED BY FLOOD.
Rats, Gophers aud RABBITS Drowntd d
by Wholesale in the West.

1t is hard to find any mice, rats,
rabbits, moles or gopherS In the valley
districts Of southern Nebraska and
northern and eastern Kansas. This
district has been visited two summers
in succession by floods, and where
stores, factories and granaries were
overrun by rodents. now it is unusual
to find one The high water did II.
When the floods reached the build
iugs along the rivers the animals tried
to get away, but only a few succeed
ed. Following their usual instinct the
rats sought the upper stories Of the
buildings, but there they were shut
of from their usual food supplies.
Many starved to death, while others
were drowned in their search for food.
For weeks after the water suoslded
the ground was covered with soft
mud, and in trying to get through
this more of the rodents perished. In
Topeka, St. Joe, Nebraska City ard
other places, where it became neces-
sary to hire men to clean the streets.
the workmen were astonished to hno
so many rats and mice in the dirt they
shoveled into the wagons.
The driving out Of the rats was q
good thing for the town people, but
it was the farmers living along the
Kaw, Nemaha and other rivers that
received the greater b,neht. 1t is said
that there is not mole or a gopher
in those valleys, where the land was
under water for at least three days
The strange part of it, according te
the farmers, is that, contrary to the
rule, the gophers never came bacs
after this food. Tracts of land that
we're honeycombed with gopher anc
mole holes so that they had become
almost worthless for agricultural pur

and had 9 hilarious time. Now sever
al of them are dead and others are
sick. Someone emptied a lot OF fer
mented wheat in field near where
the goats are pastured, and 1t was not
many minutes before the appetizing
smell OF the wheat attracted them.
They ate Of it, and soon afterward
there were so goats ac5ing like so
many rough-and-ready comedians.
SomeIfought, some danced, others per-
formed all sorts OF gyrations. They
dashed up the mountain side, stagger-
ed along tho streets and cut many IN
goatlike capers. Soon the hilarlty
wore off, and the remorse period was
reached.
