Miss Mahoney, of Hamilton Square
Gives Dissertation on “Cun

HAMILTON SQUARE. N. J., March
4.—"Why should anyone be afraid of
rats?" declared Miss Pauline Mahoney
to-day as she held two rodents, fully
as large as kittens. In her anna The
young woman had trained the rata
and showed the same affection for
them as a woman usually does for a
dog or a cat
Her friends have tried to persuade
her to use a little poison to end the
earthly careers of her unique pets,
but she has Insisted upon keeping
them. Miss Mahoney has trained and
fed the rats for almost a year, and
says she can train more of them as
pets, and would do so save for the
fact that there Is not room enough
In her home. Her pets show Intelli
gence.
The two rats can perform as many
tricks as the average dog or cat, and
are "awfully cunning," as their mis
tress expresses It. They follow her
when she walks near her home, but
she will not take them to town for
fear they might get lost or meet with
rudeness at the hands of ruge stran
ger felines.
When asked how It was she did not
abhor rodents ns others do. Mias Ma
honey replied:
"Rats are not so awful as people
suppose, after they are trained. Of
course, when they are allowed to live
in holes, cellars and walls, and eat
garbage and the like, they are not de
sirable for pets, but neither la a tramp
dog or ‘everybody's cat.' If they are
cared for like a pet kitten or a puppy,
anyone will find they are even more
desirable. I take ode of my pet rats
