there will be no danger OF chill from

tie creatures, always waltzing airily
up and down the cage floor, instead OF
gliding along as their commoner

The mice are kept in small pens,
usually dozen or so in each, and
these are ranged down the house or
shed, several tiers high, on both sides
of a center aisle. The mice shrink
back into the corner of their cages
when a stranger is in the house, but
they seem to recognize Miss Lathrop's
voice and will rush to the front OF
their pens when she appears. They

MISS LATHRoP FINDS RODENT
FARM is PROFITABLE.
Supplies Medical Colleges and Univer

ment-Waltzing Mice Have
Great Market Value.

Boston.-In the face of all tradition
about woman's insane fear of rat or
a mouse Miss Abbie e. G. Lathrop, of
CRANKY, Mass, is earning her living by
managing a rat and mice farm. She
says frankly she was born with fear
of the rodent tribe, but soon con-
quered it when she found there was
money in them.
Miss Lathrop has at present more
than 1000 rats and mice OF every
variety, which she tenderly cares for
and will put on the market as fast as
they can be prepared. The stock is all
carefully penned and, in spite OF their
gnawing abilities, 1t is rare that rat
or mouse escapes.
Miss Lathrop began breeding mice
as business about five years ago and
the industry has grown rapidly. She
began with a few boxes in an old
shed. She soon needed more boxes
and now the whole place, inside and
outside, Is fairly alive with mice. one
house has been built exclusively for
them. and every available inch OF
shed room about the place has been
utilized. Miss Lathrop will put up
still more buildings, and says she has
no idea to what limits the industry
may go.
1t seems as II there would be no
market for mice, but there is good
one. At first they went wholly to
bird stores and fanciers to be sold
| again as pets. They also figured IN
window displays where, with training
they performed little tricks. Their
