the Kaiserhofr hotel, by the letter car
rler when making his usual mail de-
livery.
1t was addressed to Mr. and Mrs.
Roy d. Lee Of Pueblo, who were here
on their honeymoon. The couple had
departed, however, before the card ar
rived. Clerk Bennett tried to put it in
the mail box and it wouldn't go. Then
he hung it up over his desk. That
caused SO many people to make Use
less remarks that he showed it under
the counter.
Then some one told him he was In
terfering with the United States mails,
SO he took it out again and handed it
to the telephone operator, who wrote
another address on it and forwarded
1t after the happy couple.
One motto said: May all the
troubles be little ones" Another said:
BE good TO one another" Another
card asked the clerk, in the event he
could not deliver the postcard, to re-
turn to the couple addressed at Rose
lawn cemetery, Pueblo, Colo, as that
would undoubtedly be their stopping
place In the end.
The card had thirty-four stamps on

Veyed the impression that the parties
addressed were in a blissful state of
mind.

HOW RATS LIVE,
 SPREAD PLAGUE
United States Health Ser. vice Tells About Plague Epidemic at New Orleans.

| On September 25, 1914, two plague infected rate were taken in snap traps at 1913 Magazine street, New Orleans, Louisiana, The premises situated there, "a combined stable, junk ware house and residence, were entirely surrounded by a high brick wall.
 Owing to the condition of the place and the necessity for immediate, thor ough rat-proofing, the presises were vacated and ordered closed pending completion of work.
 The residential portion of the build- ing was fumigated with eighty pounds of sulphur and the entire premises disinfected by spraying with a 2 per cent solution of Kerosene Emulsion.
 The following morning the work of demolition was begun with the intent of thoroughly destroying rat harbor- ing places from ground to roof When the ground floor of the residence was removed, fifty four rats were killed; Of these twenty were plague infected. Approaching the ease with which plague may be transmitted by the fleas from rat to man, it seems re- markable that people should have lived over such hot ted of infection without contracting the disease. This is accounted for, because of the large number of rats that accommodated the excess flea population from dead rodents. That the infection was of recent origin was shown by the num- Der of plague infected rats still alive It was like living over a volcano which was on the eve of eruption. All evidences of a stable were re- moved and on the bare ground was laid the concrete floor of thorough . ly rat-proof structure for the stock. From this floor to the ceiling of the galvanized iron feed room on the floor above no effort was spared to make the building impervious to rats seeking to gain entrance by gnaWing,
 burrowing, climbing or, jumping. The stableman's residence was next l paved and the walls filled with con- crete to such height that even the father of all rats could not have l found entrance.
 In the junk house which occupied
 the right wing of the same building,
 thirty six rates were killed, of which sixteen were plague infected. Dogs | were an efficient aid in killing these. When floors were torn up, rat scat tered in all directions.
 The work of rat-proofing continued steadily and the premise was fast as
 suming satisfactory appearance
 when a most interesting discovery in | tervened. After the death of all the rats, mice were frequently seen and caught: These were being examined carefully ! and on Oct. 16, 1914, one was found
 plague infected. The fleas which escaped death with the rats were
 compelled to seek other hosts and they penetrated the recess and crev- ices in the brick walls, which under
 ordinary conditions had been Aafe refuge for the mice. This illustrates
 forcibly the necessity for >''mouse. | proofing'' as well as "rat-proofing,"
 and this. means careful attention to the most minute details when closing and filling holes or dead spaces in I
 building, be it of wood Or stone.
