BED BCGs GOING TO ScHooL.-tor
several days past the teachers and pu-
pils connected with the Gold Hill
Public School have been very much
embarrassed In their labors, owing to
the fact that the school rooms have
been invaded by an army Of bed bugs.
The bugs come from an abandoned
building situated a short distance south
OF the school house. Horles OF these
pests. thirsting not for knowledge, but
for blood, climb upon the window sill
and look about in%quiringly as IL sing
ling out some victim upon whom to
commence an attack. For u time the
pupils kept tally upon their states Of
the number each one had destroyed
during the day, but this numerical
calculation involved too much labor
and attention. ard had to DO given up.
Speaking OF bed bugs, reminds us of a
good story told by q commercial trav-
eler who stopped over night at a log
cabin In Missouri. He was first AS
signed a bed on the floor of the cabin,
but the bed bugs made such \ vigorous
attack. upon him that he retreated 10
the loft by means Of q ladder. Just as
he was congratulating himself upon
his escape from the enemy, he noticed
a bed bug of enormous size perched
upon the top round Of tine ladder.
Surveying the situation. and spy
ing the traveller stretched out OH the
floor, this huge bug turned round to
his companions and remarked "come
APP boys, he's here"
