Josh Billings on Bed Bugs.

! never see ennybody yet but what de-
spised bed bugs. They are the meancsl
ov awl crawling, creeping, hopping, or
biting things
They dassont tackle man hi dai,te.
but sneak l., after dark, and chaw him
while he is fast asleep
A muskoto will fight you in broad da
lite, at short range, and give you n chance
tew knock at his sides-,he flea is game
bug and will make dash at you even
in Breadway-but the bed bug is gar>
roter, who waits till you strip and ther
picks out mellow place TO eat you.
If waz ever in the habit of swearing
| would not hesitate TO damn a bed bug
right tcw his face.
Bed bugs are uncommon smart in II
small way-ono pair of them will stock
a hair mattress i'll . weeks with bugs
enuit to last small family whole year.
1t don't do emmy good to pray when
bed bugs are in season the only way to
get rid o. them is tew bile up the whole
bed in nquafortis and then heave it away
and buy new one
Bed bugs when they have gronc ali
they intend TO. are about the SIZE of a
buejay's eye, and have brown complex.
ION, and when they start ont to earrote
are ~ greese spot, but when they git
thru garroting they are swelled up like Il
blister
Il takes them three days 10 get the
swelling ont Of them
If he'd bugs hnv enry destiny to fill. 1t
must he their stunimuks, but it seems to
me that they must have bin made by ack-
.ident Just as slvvcrs are, tew stick into
somebody.
lf they waz got up for some wise pur-
pose. they have tock the wrong road, ioT
there kant he emmy wisdom in chawing Il
man aul night long. and raisin family
besides, tew foller the same trade.
II there is sum wisdom in aul this,
hope the bugs will chaw them folks wh'
can see it, and leave me be, bckause al
