RAT FAMILY ROUTED BY COBRA
Females Panic-stricken when Snake
Drives Rodents Out.

Fairmont. MINI, July 1a.-Rats! Big
fierce brown rats; timid little gray rats;
old grandaddy rats with long white whIs-
kers; scared young baby rats with pink
tiny feet; thin rats, fat rats, house rats
and stable rats, all started squealing and
chasing one another along the dark tor
tuous passages OF their underworld and
came scurrying up into the light OF day.
All the backwards in the central busi-
ness block OF Fairmont were suddenly In
vaded by rats from every rathole in the
block-and there are many OF them. Ro-
dents too frightened TO be afraid Of hu-
man beings ran squealing and shrieking
around floors and sidewalks and door
yards.
Women screamed children cried and
men reached for whatever was handy
in the way of barrel slaves. chair legs,
or empty bottles. The rats were so
panic-stricken, however, that they were
easily knocked over. and Charles E
Burton caught several with his bare
hands. large cobra did the work.

WILD PIGS INSTEAD OF TIGERS
Destruction of Man Eaters Adds to
Indian Farmers' Troubles.

A curious instance of the bad result
often obtained by tamperfng with
natures balance is contained in a recent
communication by an Indian Official 10
the effect that the campaign against
tigers in several places in India has re-
suited in the enormous increase of wild
pigs, which are doing great damage to
crops.
The native farmers are forced to
watch their fields carefully at an in
creased expense. This damage and in
creased expense must be taken into con-
sideration in fixing the new land tax,
and thus the strange situation exists, 4"
writes Consul James o. Laing, of
Karachi. that by the destruction OF the
tigers the farmers may be out of pocket 1"

FISH COVER 500 ACRES.
Arkansas Lake Disappearing BE-
cause of Long Drought.

Memphis, Tenn, July 19.-Five hun
dred acres Of dead fish line the shores OF
Wauponoca Lake at the Wauponoca Gun
Clubs reserve in Arkansas, according 70
reports received here. Lack of rain is as
signed as the cause.
The lake, scarcely more than two feet
deep at the deepest point originally COW
cred 1,5OO acres of ground. During the
last few weeks the lake has dried rapidly
and unless heavy rains come soon the en-
tire sheet of water is apt to evaporate.
At normal stage this lake abounds
with fish characteristic of local waters.
The 900 acres OF water which has been
dissipated has killed thousands of the
lakes fish. The shores are lined with
dead black bass, carp, and the like, and
hundreds are dying rapidly because of in
sufficient water.

Mr.. Schultz was standing in front of

RAPs PIN MONEY" FARMERS.

Late Finnncier's Librarian Says They
Keep Needy Girls Out of Jobs.
Special to The Washington Herald
New York. July l9.-The woman who Is
in business simply for the sake Of earn
ing pin money" was criticised today by
Miss Belle Dacosta Greene. librarian for
the late J. Pierpont Morgan.
Unless a young woman is obliged to
go to work as a means of livelihood or
for the livelihood for those dependant
upon her, she would remain at home"
said Miss Greene. Many girls seek en-
ployment just as q means Of passing
away time until they are married. Such
girls work Indifierently, because they
have no real interest in their work and
they are willing to accept a smaller
wage. Thus they keep some one more
worthy and more needy from obtaining
a position and are responsible for lower
ing salaries paid to women"
