Ho spreads dlscaso by gnawing through lead sowago and gas pipes, by nibbling nt human food, by running over It, by distributing fleas which bear the gorms of fevers and tho plnguo. Tho Society for tho Extermination of Vermin, nil English organization, estimates that tho damago done by rats In England and Wales will reach $75,000,000 n year. It has under taken to kill off the post, or If it dis covers that tlilH cannot bo done, to rcduco tho Ioshoh to n negligible amount. Considering bow successful communities hnvo been In tho United Stntcs and tropical America In bat tling with mosqultos and tho luvlslblo microcosms, tho task of destroying nil tho rats would seem to be, by comparison, a moro triviality. The rnt can bo scon, his ruuwnys uncov ered, hlu cunning mot nnd combated, himself harrlod and slain. San Fran cisco, In Its struggle with tho bubonic plague, conquered tho rnt pest. Con certed movement throughout nny country Isolated by water would mnko tho rat u hard to find as ho Is often hnrd to catch. WEARINESS Somo times I get tlrod of my writ ing, nnd think, with snmo hoartrond Ing gronitB, of those who mnko a bus iness of fighting and gathering In bushels of bones. Sometimes I grow tlrod of tho botches nnd notches who wallow In diamonds and dimes. Somo times I grow tired of tho bustlo, of breaking choap words from tholr Moms nnd wish I was old PuBtor Uussoll with whlskorH all studded with gems. SomotlmcH get tired of tho million dlsfiguromouts marring my faco, nnd wish I was lovely like Lillian, a vision of bonuty nnd graco. My Worries I simply enn't sink 'om, they float llko tho Ioiivoh on tho rlllsl I wish I was Llddy E. Plughnm, dis pensing my bnck action pills! I wish I wnii J. Rockefeller, with sovontcon kinds of n roll, when I push mysolf down to tho collar and look nt what's loft of tho coal. Hut, happiness soon rcnppoarlng, I put nil my gloom on tho sholf, nnd go around whooping nnd cheorlng, and Haying; "I'm glnd I'm mysol!" Walt. Mason.

Ml TO H8VE LOCWJffflBI (Continued from pago 1.) greater concern In recent years than that nt Coos Day. In tho lnstnnco of tho recent disaster on Coos Day bar, referred to In tho telegram of tho president of tho Chamber of Commerce, which you quote, I Judgo from newspaper accounts, which I have received, that tho unfortunate men must hnvo perished almost im mediately when tho boat capsized, and that If tho station had been locat ed at Charleston tho result would have been the snme. However thnt may be, .tho recommendation has sev eral times been mndo by tho Chamber of Commcrco thnt tho station bo moved to Charleston. I nm rendy to admit that Its location thcro would bring It much nenror to tho most fre quent scene of disaster than tho pres ent slto, but unhappily wo hnvo not been nblo to find a slto thcro pos sessing tho Indispensable facilities for operating tho boats and apparatus of tho service. In 1901, two offlcors of tho service visited Coos Day and made n thorough oxamlnntlon not only of tho locality nt Charleston suggested by tho Chamber of Com merce but nlso of several other sites suggested by that body and Its offl cors, but nil of them woro found Im practicable becauso of tho lack of depth of water. Tho following Is an extract from tholr report: '"Tho Mnrshflold Chnmbor of Commerce hnd sent a petition to Washington, asking that tho location of tho station bo changed. Tho mat ter was thoroughly examined into nnd the slto suggested In tho petition was visited and sounded; they woro found to bo Impracticable. In an in terview with tho representatives of toe chamber aftor our examination they admitted, In view of tho results, that tho present location was tho most suitable,' In u later report, dated Septombor 29, 190G, Captain C. 11. McClollan, then Inspector of Life Saving Stations, referring to this visit says: 'Tho General Superintend ent nnd Inspector visited this station u few years ago. . . . Wo ex amined thoroughly In company with tho keeper, who wns thou Captain Norman Nelson, considered ono of the ablest keepers on tho Pacific Coast, and who, I believe, enjoyed an excellent reputation with tho Cham ber of Commerce, nil tho shores of tho bay and It was tho unanimous opinion of tho threo that there was not u suitable place nnywhoro on tho adjacent shore for tho station to bo located and thnt Its present situation was the best plnco for it. . . . ThoBo points woro all talked over wltt Mr. Sciigstackeu after our ovaiu tnatlon of tho locality,' and ho ex pressed himself as sntlsflcd that tho propect was not feasible.'

VISITS INVALID MOTHER Put hot Ic Phase of Abo, Rent' Trip Homo. SAN FRANCISCO, Fob. 11 Con vict Abraham Knot "came buck from Europe" last week to his aged mother. In vlow of goueral public condem nation of his order forbidding Iluof tho privilege or visiting his aged pa rents, Judgo Lawlor relented this morning nnd Issued an ordor onnbllng Sheriff Eggers to convoy Ituof to tho Plorco Htreet homo, whoro tho moth er, bedrlddon, bus waited his "ro turn from Europo" for thoso cloven months. Sho does not know tho truth. To her, hor "boy," as alio hnB always called him, was traveling, re cuperating from his long stogo dur ing his trials. Elghty-threo years old, sho has lain on her bed of pain awaiting his return. It came last week. Shortly boforo 2 o'clock Ituof, his eyes moist nfter his first ombraco with his sister on tho stops of their homo, passed on through tho familiar doorway, up tho enrpoted stairs, to enter his mothor's room. The following composition is one of tho best that has been handed in by pupils of the Third A grade tit the high school building and wns written by Sumner Dodge, on "Pelorus Jack:" "Polours Jack Is n big llsh. li. Is from 11 to 10 feet In length, hns a blunt nose, n humped forchoid nnd hns n wldo tall. lie Is bluelsh white In color, tinged with purple nnd yellow, nnd has Mi le broken lines of brown running n nil directions over his body. Ho lives Is tho sheltered wntcru of the southwestern sldo of Cook's Strait, Now Zealand, near Polorua Sound. He meets nil of tho steamers either by night or day thnt como Into thoso waters where ho lives. Ho goes with each ship for about twenty minutes, sometimes darting ahead, sometimes rubbing his body on tho Bides nun bottom of tho boat. Somo peoplo sny ho is ridding himself of barnacles, others say that ho Is biiblly engage 1 tearing off and eating tho dreaded oc topus. Pelorus Jack has been known for about 35 years, by whtto man, ami hns been shot nt many times. Ilut now ho Is protected by law. Ho Is a great white, solitary llsh, ono of tho wonders of tho world, nnd tho only ono of his kind known In the world. EAST AND WEST Hownrd McLaughlin of tho Third A nlso li'ns a good one on "Dick, tho Thief." It wiib ns follows: Many yours ago when this country was now tho peoplo lived In log houses. There wnB n little log Fchool house upon tho mountains (up In tho moun tains). This school house was n very queer one. Not at nil llko our school houses. Not far from this school house thcro was a small cuvo whoro lived threo bears. Thoso bears woro very tamo nnd used to como down to tho school houso to gnthor tho ucrnps. Two of theso boars woro cubs and tho other wns n Inrgo moth er bear. Now thoro woro liunteru In this wood nnd they killed tho mother bear and ono of tho cubs. Hut ono of tho cubs wns playful and cute so they did not kill him, but kept him for u pot. Ho wns soon a lino big blnek hoar. Now thoy named htm Dlek. Dick soon found out that cream and butter wero very good to cnt. Ho wns fod only skimmed milk. Dut ho soon found out how to open tho eronmory door. So ho walked up to tho door nnd wnUa'd straight to tho urcam nnd butter. Ho nto them very quickly for fear of somo ono seeing him. Ho ropentod this trick many times. Then tho men put a strong lock on tho door so Dick could got In no moro. Ono 1 1 mo a panther enmo Into tho yard. When Dick saw him ho ran up u troo. Tho llttlo girl was out getting tho cream nnd butter for dlu nor; sho saw It but did not lot on. Then tho dog ran up tho path and tho panther ran up tho same treo that Dick wns In. In tho morning tho panthor wns shot. Dick wns fond of teasing tho hcos nnd would kill them ovory time ono camo out of tho hive. Ono time Dick emtio Into tho houso and took tho baby from tho bod. Thoy hnd n very hard time to got It back. After n while Dick began to get llorco. Ho ofton got whlppod nnd one tlnio ho killed tho negro that al ways whlppod him. This wns mur der, nnd Dick wns shot for it. So ho was no moro In tho vnlloy. LI IS RUSHED Continued from pago J.) determined upon. Wo can then take up right-of-way matters.'
