public protest against the inactivity OF
the authorities in leaving the resi-
dents to fight the evil alone is sug-
gested. At dairy shop one big rat
was found to have dined so well that
1t was too fat to re-enter It's hiding

THAT cat Is worth 10 shillings q

rats used to climb on the shelves. eat
my jams, spoil my bacon and has
and play havoc with my cheese. I
put down my average weekly loss at
10 shillings. but isnce I've had that
cat the rats have gone"
Scores of rats were seen holding
high revel in a shop late at night.
while policemen and late workers
looked on through the window. A rat
was seen pushing an egg with his
paws toward a hole. "Ane day." said
the shopkeper, II was startled by a
stream of water running through the
walls; I discovered that the rats had
eaten through the lead water pipes"

DOns Dress and Mystifies Police by
Claiming to BE His Sister.

Spartansburg, s C.-Masquerading
as a man for eight months, Mary,
owens, who had adopted the disguise
in order to trace her husband, mysti-
fled the police at Saxon's Mills when
she donned dress and told the Of
ficers she was the sister of the man
she had impersonated. Under ques-

the dual role his sister had been play
ing, however, and she finally confess

When questioned by the police she
told them she had just arrived from
Tennessee and explained tn shortnss
of her hair by saying she had just re-
covered from an attack OF typhoid

became very popular worker in the
mills and was engaged to a 16-year-
