Currli'rs of Bubonic I'Ihkiio Without
Krtlirmftif; (futility.
The rut belongs to the mouse rumll.v,
of which there are something
like ::00 species?from the tiny tlehi
mouse to the American muskrat.
Hut tlie rut tiiut is now being discussed.
because of the presence of
bubonic plague, is lite only one that
is t?? be here considered, says George
K. Iturga in the t'olumbus Oispatch.
Mice iia\e accompanied man upon his
migrations, wherever lie iias gone and
es tnblishcd his home, and the great
brown rat that is now carrying dls
e:'!t< Hi* common house rat. us it is
I'alieil?hasn't been known so ver>
long in tile Western worhi. or in Kni
ope.
There used 1o lc.? a black rat in
Krropc. and it became very numerous
along about 'the l"th and 1 Hi:
cent uries. Tiicn tlie brown rat num.
lis vay from China to Itussiu aim
on to l-'iirupe and drove out the ' lack
rat. I'.olli tlie black rat and tin
brown one originated in China. as
did the little mouse which we lind
about the houses, or the domesticated
mouse as it is culled. The Held mlei
sometimes take up their abode about
tlic barns and outhouses, and even in
residences, but that "s not their Iteni
r:il custom. The mice you sop about
the burns and homes are the domesticated
mouse and came originally
from Asia. It was unknown in lids
country until some time after the
lirst white people settled here, hut it
found its way across the seas and took
ii| its abode and is now a par:
of the household property.
The rat is repulsive, vicious and
destructive and there is no reason
v:hv man should tolerate it. Its worl
iis a yciivcHKT lines not compensate
Ini- its (testruction?and civilized man
inmht to l>e getting urotmil to tin
point where lie needs no such scnvi
ni;ers. Milt the persistency of the
rat ami the extent to which it has
multiplied, shows how nature takes
care of all her children, whether we
consider these children Rood or had.
Man has always made war upon the
rat. of course, for it has hcen in his
way. Mut this warfare, up to thitime,
has not licen successful in ex
terminating the species. In fact, tin
trihe has increased until it is now
more numerous than ever before
Mut a determined effort is now to he
made, especially in the cities, to ge'
ri?l of this disease hearing pest for
that is exactly what it is. The hu
hcnlc plague is a germ disease, and
the rats carry the germs from one
house to another. The only successful
method of combating the diseas.
is to coinhat the rats.
Mut even if it carried no disease
the rat still plight to he extermin
J'teil. It causes millions of dollarof
damage on the farms of this conn
try and in the cities its rawices nr.
jilcn great. When it romps to gettlnv
ritl of it. however. 111:111 is going te

HONORING DANIEL BOONE.
It soon will be 100 years since the I
U-uth of LHaniel Boone, foremost
among the rugged spirits who early
in the ISth century opened up to 1 b
settlement the American wilderness i g
between the Alleghany ' mountains 0
and the Missouri frontier. So fully
is the name of Daniel Boone con- '
uccted \\ ith the iounding of Kentucky J
' o many of his daring exploits and 11
astonishing feats of woodcraft form- 8
nig a conspicuous part of the early ^
hhtory of the commonwealth, one is (
apt to lose sight of the fact that anoilier
State lays claim to having been v
.b?' home lor several years of the ilustrious
ranger. t
Itecently tliere has been erected on
nc hanks of the Yadkin river, in ' o
Davidson county, N. t\. 12 miles from a
Salisbury, on the spot where Boone t

ham l.ineoln was Anne Boone, a eon - I
in of I >aniel Itoone. and the Booties |4
ml Inneolns in Kentucky were close\
allied by marriage.
The cabin erected by the Boone | ,
Memorial association stands almost 4
or. the exact spot of the one occupied 1
by the parents of I hilliel Itoone. In s?
clearing away the debris of the old <
abin for tiie building of the new i
a large flat ruck was found, believed ?
o have been the hearthstone ol' the ^
Booties. There also were discovered q
portions of the old log walls, several
broken eups and saucers and pieces
>f dishes of the old-time willow ware
pat tern.
When Boone was HI he married
Miss Iteheeea Bryan of North t'uroline.
She proved a devoted wife, facing
with him unflinchingly the perils
