The New .Annihiiator."

Detroit Free Press.
Bright and early yesterday morning,
Prof. James K. P. Burl1ngaine made his
appearance ON several streets in Detroit
almost at the same moment. You would
have known him to be professor, even
if you had seen him tangled up with the
wheels of butcher-cart. That tall plug
hat, carrying the stains of years,-that
linen buster girted at the waist, his long
hair hanging down to keep his shoulders
warm, was dead glve.away on his title.
The Professor came here to dispose of
individual rights to use his "F'ly Ami
hilator," and he didn't let thoughts of
the next Presidential election set him
down on bench. His piccalo voice in

every well, then you will miss seeing
my Fly Annihilator," he remarked as he
walked off, thousands have missed it
to their everlasting sorrow-thousands
have accepted it and been made happy
for life.''
cts some kind O. pizen' she called
a1Cer MN down the street.
"Warranted free from all drugs or
chemicals dangerous to the human sys
tenn, and recommended to people troubled
with sleeplessness,' he called back as he
briskly retraced his steps.
GIVE got screens in every window, and
yet the flies get in" she continued as he
opened his satchel On the steps.
cot course they do, of course. A fly
is like a human being. Bar him out and
he is seized with desire to get in at any
price. Tell him he can't, and he will or
break his neck. Fling away your screens
and depend entirely on my y-annihila-
tor, warranted to kill on sight, and can
be worked by child years old. This
is the application"
He took from the satchel all eight
ounce bottle filled with dark liquid and
and provided with small brush, and,
holding it up, continued:
zone 25-cent bottle does for twenty
doors, and give you directions how to
make all you want. No poison here
nothing in this bottle to trot little chill
dren up to the cemetery"
why, you don't put it on the flies, do
you? she asked +
"Not altogether, madam Any child
can use it, as I said before. Just watch
me a moment
He swung the front door open, and with
the brush applied the mixture to the
back edge, giving it a thin coat from top
to bottom. ...
CHOW then," he said, as he swung the
door back, cities like sweet This mix
turc is sweet. The fly alights on the
door, and you swing it shut and he is
damned against the casing and crushed
in an instant. Every door is capable of
killing 1909 flies per day. If you have
twelve doors your aggregate of dead flies
will be exactly $4,000. When you have
crushed about 2,O9O on a door, take an
old knife and scrape them of and begin
over again"
-! "Do you suppose-!'' began the in
dlgnant woman, but he interrupted her
with:
"Don't suppose anything about it, ex-
ccpt that 1t will mash flies and never miss.
All you have to do is to open every door,
apply the mixture, and then shut them
in succession. If you have twelve doors
and twelve children you can leave it all
to the children And only IS cents per
bottle"
''Do you think. l want all my
doors daubed up with flies and mo-
lasses?' she shouted, as she made cuff
at the bottle.
/ 'Just as you prefer, madam" he quiet
ly replied. 'Some do and some don't.
Some won't have it at any price, and 9TH
ers even set up extra doors in the back
yard in order to use lots of it. I'll war
rant this liquid to draw EN-, if you IL on

shouted as she damned the broom agains

every we'll, madam, very we'll. If you
prefer a fly on your nose to one on the
door can raise no objections. Remem-
Der, however, that this is nv farewell tour
previous to appearing before the crowned
heads Of Europe, and you will not have
another chance to secure the annihilator.
All you have to do is to take your sew
ing on your lap and open and shut the
door at regular intervals

is not here, we'll bid you good day and
pass on. Sorry, madam, but some folks
prefer to kill their flies with a pitchfork,
and the man with the pitchforks will cal!
