"It's a bleak day when bleeding Kan
eaB can't produce something a little
ahead," concluded the old man as he
buttoned his beard inside bis coat be
fore going out into the wind. "Got all
them things in my wagon, Henery?"
"All but the shoe-poliBh, Mr, Davis,"
said the storekeeper. "We hain't much
call for shoe-polish in Waubunsee, and
we sort of let ourselves run out of pol
ish." "Hold on a minute, old man," inter
rupted the drummer from St. Louis.
"What's KpneaB done since Funston
happened?"
"Wal, m7 boy Webster has kinder
dabbled in science, you know ever since
he got tbat'janitorship up at State Uni
versity, and he writes me that up there
they've discovered anuther thorn in the
crown that's pressed on our brows, as
Bryan tells the pops hereabouts. This
time they've discovered that our great
state has got to grapple with a potato
bug that's become poison proof. It
warn't so long ago that every farmer
could go out in the morning with a
bucket of Paris green and a light heart
and sprinkle and protect his patch.
Every time a bug got a dose of Paris
green, his little hands grew cold, his feet
curled around his stomach, his tongue
turned black, and he was a dead bug.
But gradually, sayB Webster, the con
stitution of successive generations of
green-fed bugs have become hardened
to the poison, till at last the bugs are
born with a craving for Paris green and
cry till they get it. Nowadays a bug
wakes up dull and listless, with a jump
ing nerve and a gone feeling in the pit
of its striped stomach, and hardly life
enojgh to crawl to where the farmer
has been sprinkling the morning poison.
But one sip makes a new bug of him,
and he gallops merrily around the vines,
eating where he lietetb. Webster, how
ever, tells me chat by next season it
will be fatal to the bugs to stop using
Paris green, now that they have come to
lean so on it. It's like a man with the
morphine habit stop the drug, and he
is a goner in horrible .agony. Some
morning I am going to lie in bed till
nine o'clock and let every bug in the
patch have a fatal paroxysm." Caro
line Lockhart in May Lippencott.

those wnoce aims are the same as her
own. The club rooms at Kleist Strasse
11, Berlin W., are open all day and any
one is privileged to come in and read
the papers and magazines, of which
there is a great variety. The rooms are
bright and sunny and have a real Amer
ican "homey" sort of look.
The club subscribes for six of the best
magazines, one or two American papers
and tha London Daily Standard. Many
of the papers received at the embasy are
also sent over to the club, bo that the
supply is almost unlimited. There is
also a library of about 1,100 volumes
which are loaned to the.club members
free of charge. The books are on his
tory, literature, art, music, some Ger
man books, poetry and novels. These,
of course prove a great boon to many,
as no one, unless a resident, has many
bookB here."
According to an article recently pub
lished in the London Spectator, women
in England have, during the past eight
years, bequeathed no less than $13,480,
000 for religious, educational and philan
thropic purposes.

REBUKE.
"There was a man once 'at lost a leg,
and for a long time afterwards he went
Btumpin' round on a hick'ry peg. One
day Elder Harkins asked him why he
didn't go to Brother Brigham Young
and have his leg restored.
" 'D'you s'pose he c'n do it?' said old
Peg-leg's quick's a wink. 'Do it! Why
of course be can do it, and glad of the
chanco to show his power,' the elder
said. 'I wonder you hadn't thought of
it before.' Well, you may be sure Peg
lost no time in gettin' thar after that.
And what d'you s'pose Brother Brig
ham said? Why, he said of course he
could make a new leg, jest's good a leg
a3 the one that was miss'n', 6ut before
he supplied the lost member he was in
honor bound to tell Peg-leg something
that he considered very serious. Says
he, 'If I make a new leg for you to use
in this life, it will be a part of you, and
after you die it will be resurrected along
with the rest of your body when the
last trumpet blows.'
"All right, all right,' Peg-leg put in,
that's jest what I want'
But hold on,' Brother Brigham
said, 'that hain't all of it Both of the
legs you were born with will be resur
rected also, and you'll have to takr your
choice between goin' with one leg in
this world or havin' three in the next!' "
