Suffer From PLAQUE of Rats.

A "pied piper Of Hamelin" is need
ed at Santa Paula, Cal. Thousands of
rats, and all big wood rats, have in
vaded the place, and the situation is
such that women are afraid to go to
church. The rats seem to have a
preference for churches and on several
occasions have forced the feminine
attendance at services to take to the
high benches. The city authorities
are seeking means to abate the pest.
The rats are believed to have been
driven out of the woods by recent fires
in the forests.

THEY FILE PROTEST.
WOmen's Advisory Board Object to
Provident Association Aid Plan.

A protest against the proposed ap-
preparation of money by the city for
the benefit of the Provident associa-
ton was filed by the womens advisory
board of the city with the city COM
mission this afternoon. The protest
was made at d special meeting held
this afternoon at o'clock. which had
been arranged earlier in the gay.
Several reasons for the protest were
made. That charity work is overlap
ping and should be conducted under a
general board of welfare to avoid
Implications, is one of the arguments.
That there are other charities as much
entitled to assistance as the Provident
association is another reason, and u
third is q cry to keep down taxes, al
though the levy for the special pur-
pose of assisting the Provident asso-
citation would hardly be noticed by
anyone, one-fourth OF one-tenth of a
mill being ample to give the associa-
ton 500 a month.
The board asked for more time in
which to make exhaustive study
of boards of welfare with a view to
urging the commission to establish
such a board in Topeka.
The advisory board also urged the
commission not to increase any salar-
les at this time, urging a possibility
of hard times and a scarcity of money
and work. A recommendation also was
made that young boys be not locked
up with other prisoners at the city
prison, but that d separate place be
provided for them. 1t was urged that
parents and friends be advised of the
arrest of boys and an opportunity given
to secure bail.
The report of the advisory board was
accepted and filed by the commissioners
for further consideration at another

Elephant Love DueIs.

When two male elephants compete for
the championship of a female, they do
not forget their dignity so far as to fight
for the lady. They simply face each 9TH
er squarely. Then one of them pulls
down a branch from a tree with his
trunk. and lays it at his feet The other
takes a larger branch, or pulls up
big shrub by the roots, and also lays
it al his feet.
Number one then tackles a still bigger
branch. and this strange competition goes
on, turn and turn about, until at last the
contestants try to pull down trees whole

tree in turn is abandoned by the lady
