No Cause for Alarm
Editor McCook Tribune Dear Sir
Concerning the article Railroads
Prepare for the Locusts I have
seen the seventeen year locusts five
different times in my life twice in
Pennsylvaniaonce in Virginia once in
South Carolina and once in Nebras
ka Now dont get scared about them
eating up the crops for they never
eat anything they have no mouth to
eat with They only live fourteen
days from the time they come out the
ground
The females lay the eggs and the
males sing most of the time They
carry their music box under their
wings As far as the eggs hatching
this spring they have been hatched
for sixteen years The female lays the
eggs in the young growths at the end
of the limbs of the trees the ends
die and drop off the egg hatches and
the little worm goes in the ground
to come out a full grown locust at
the end of seventeen years I have
vention to be held in McCook this
fall This will be the first time a
state oenvention has been held in the
western part of the state also the
first time a number of these ladies
ever visited McCook and I sincere
ly hope that all homes in McCook
will be open for their entertainment

SPECTER SHIPS
Legends of Shadowy Craft of the New
England Coast
The coas of New England has nu
merous legends concerning specter
ships firmly believed by the rugged
fishermen who assert stoutly that on
various occasions glimpses of the
shadowy craft have been seen fol
lowed invariably by fatal disaster
The specter of the Pulentine is occa
sionally seen on Long Island sound
and is the forerunner of a gale of
wind She was a Dutch trading ves
sel and was wrecked off Block island
in 1732 The wreckers it is said made
short work of her stripping her fore
and aft and setting lire to the hull
As she drifted blazing off the coast a
human form was visible amid the
Cannes the form of a female passen
ger left to perish on the doomed
craft Since and generally upon the
anniversary of the wreck a ph intoni
ship with blazing hull charred spare
and scoivhed sails and tigging has
been seen cruising off Block island
Whittier recorded the legend ia
graceful verse as well as that of a
ghostly cruiser that sailed from a
New England port of her last voyage
which he termed The Dead Ship of
Salem In the seventeenth century a
ship was about to sail from Salem to
England Her cargo was on board
sails bent and passengers on deck
when two passengers came hurriedly
off and engaged passage The couple
were a young man and a young wo
man who so tradition records were
remarkable for their bearing and beau
ty
Who they were or whence they came
no one in Salem town could tell The
ship being detained by adverse winds
the mysterious couple excited the sus
picions of the townspeople who view
ed them as uncanny and prophesied
disaster to the vessel if allowed to sail
in her But the master a bluff and
stern sailor refused to listen and final
ly departed on a Friday
The vessel never reached her desti
nation and was never spoken but later
in the year incoming vessels reported
sighting a craft with luminous rigging
and sails and shining hull and spars
She was sailing with all canvas set
against the wind with a crew of dead
men standing in the shrouds and lean-
terdeck stood a young and beautiful
couple New York Herald
MAKING UMBRELLAS
The Work of Assembling the Frames
and Putting on Covers
In most umbrella factories the task
of turning out ribs and stems is left to
other factories making a specialty of
those parts These are sent to the
manufacturer and the man whose
work it is to assemble the parts in
serts a bit of wire into the small holes
at the end of the ribs draws them to
gether about the main rod and adjusts
the ferrule
In cutting the cloth or silk seventy
five thicknesses or thereabouts are ar
ranged upon a table at which skilled
operators work In one department
there are girls who operate hemming
machines A thousand yards of hem
med goods is a days work for one of
these girls The machines doing this
job attain a speed of some 3000 rev
olutions a minute After the hemming
has been done the cloth or silk is cut
into triangular pieces with a knife as
before but with a pattern laid upon
the cloth The next operation is the
sewing of the triangular pieces to
gether by machinery
The covers and frames are now
ready to be brought together In all
there are twenty one places where the
cover is to be attached to the frame
The handle is next glued on and the
umbrella is ready for pressing and in

By far the greater number of um
brellas today are equipped with wood
en handles A large variety of mate
rials may however be used Gold and
silver quite naturally enter into the
construction of the more expensive

he turned over in bed or turned some

what Im here to say is that if the
Worm turned the grindstone when he
didnt have to he was a dum fool

GATHERING RUBBER
The Sap Is Coagulated by the Action
of Pungent Smoke
The industry of collecting and pre
paring rubber is carried on extensively
in the valley of the Amazon There are
districts of i -any square miles owned
and operated by one person The rub
ber trees are scattered more or less
plentifully among other trees that
yield no profit as yet
When one has secured a large tract
of forest land for the industry he puts
up a rough shelter upon it and en
gages Indian natives of the neighbor
hood to aid him in the work Early in
the morning they start out to make
the rounds of the estate for they must
get back to the riverside before the
heat of the day becomes too great
They tap the trees attaeh little tin
cups to catch the sap and take home
whatever sap may be collected
The sap of the rubber tree is a white
liquid of the consistency of goats mill
It is necessary that it be converted
into a solid This is effected by the
action of a pungent smoke that coagu
lates or curdles the milky fluJd For
thr use the seeds of two different
kinds of palm are employed The seeds
are put in an earthen jar which has a
narrow neck the bottom of which is
perforated with a number of square
holes In this the palm nuts are
burned The holes in the bottom of be
jar admit a draft and cause a dense
smoke to issue from the neck
The operator takes a paddle similar
to that with which he paddles his ca
noe and holds the blade of it over the
jar Upon it he pours the milky jul e
cup by cup all the time turning tup
blade so as to bring all parts of it into
the smoke The fluid is instantly fixed
and adheres to the wood or to the rub
ber already formed This process i
continued until a solid lump is forniel
that will perhaps weigh sixteen
pounds When the lump has grown
large enough for handling a slit is cut
in it and the blade is drawn out A
mass of rubber is left ready for ex
portation It is the smoke ur 1 in
coagulating the sap that gives crude
rubber the dark appearance familiar to
every one

Pumps Versus Baths
The poor are dirty because they can
not afford to be clean and not from in
clination or choice As the woman in
an English town said to the doctor
who thoughtlessly suggested that her
child of six was old enough to be
washed Its easy for you to talk of
washin with yer hot and cold trps
but what are the likes of me to do
with only- the loan of my neighbors

occupying the attention of public bod

of public wash houses with due re

The Loyal Bookseller
Certainly the loyalist bookseller on
record was the John Stubbs who of
fended Queen Elizabeth by publishing
a book protesting against the proposed
marriage with the imp of the crown
of France The unhappy man was
condemned to suffer the loss of his
right hand which was accordingly
chopped off with a butchers knife in
the market place at Westminster I
remember says Camden standing
by Stubbs who as soon as his right
hand was off took off his hat with his
left and cried aloud God save the
queen The next moment he faint
