The House Fly.

A house fly is born fully grown
and of mature size, and there are
no little flies of the same species,
the small ones occasionally observ-
ed being different in kind from the
large ones. The house fly does not
bite nor pierce the skin, but gath
ers it's food by a comb or rake, or
brush-like tongue, with which it is
able to scrape the varnish from
covers of books, and it thus tickles
the skin OF persons upon which i,
alights to feed upon the perspira
ton. A fly is a scavenger, and il
a vehicle in which contagious dis
eases are spread. Itpolsons wounds

A Young Couple Skip Out to Get
Married-They Always DO.

Kell Quisenberry and Miss Josie
Null were to have been married
Thursday at $50, but were frus.
trated in getting a marriage license
by the interference of young
Quissnberry's parents. They left
that night for Illinois, where they
expected to be married next day.
The facts obtainable are as fol.
lows: Mr.. Quisenberry made ap.
plication for license, but was de.
MED him on account of his father,
W. P. Quisenberry, interfering,
claiming he was not yet 21 years
of age. This angered young Quis.
enberry and his fair sweetheart,
and acting upon the consent Of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Null, her pa.
rents, they departed for Illinois,
where, no doubt, ere this they are
made happy by having the nuptial

owners and spectators than theil

there is no comparison between the

where they are. Both are kicking

A Missouri man went to Kansas
a year ago and bought farm, built
a house and put a mortgage on it
all. A month or two ago one OF
his old neighbors was in that coun-

he saw nailed on the door a notice
which read: "Fore miles from q

Give the Boys q Chance.

We mean your boy, the little fel.
low you left at home this morning
when you started for the store OF
Office, says the Business Chronicle.
Don't forget he has wants as real
and tangible to him as yours are to
you. Remember, he is no more a
born saint than you we're. And ii
you just reflect little you will be
ashamed to think how far from it
you were. Don't forget him as
his "good.by, papa" fades away
behind you. Didn't he ask you
for something?-a jack knife or a
hammer or a new slate or some
pencils or something or other? II
you love your boy and wish to
show him that you do, you might
better forget business appoint
ment down town than forget his re-
quest.
If he asks you for something
your better judgment says he
should not have, don't be content
with simply ignoring the boys
wish, but take the time and
trouble to explain your reasons.
Boys, even pretty young ones, are
quicker than you may think to see
a point. Always give reason for
refusal of his request, even if it is
the one you too often give, that
you can't afford 1t. And be care
full how you give that reason.
If he has lost or broken his jack
knife, and asks you for a new one,
don't scold him. Albeit you may
give him little lesson in careful
ness, but don't tell him you can't
afford to give him 10 cents for a
new one, and then before you leave
the house pull out your cigar case
and light a 10-cent cigar.
The boy will be drawing invidi-
GUS distinctions before you know it.

A Russian Scheme.

The newest medical device is
of Russian origin and consists in
inoculating patients suffering with
diphtheria with the germs of cry
sipelas. It seems that the
microbes of these two diseases do
not agree very we'll, and the
eryspelas animals are apt to eat the
others and then themselves die OF
indigestion. 1t is often very much
the same in politics. Let the
thieves fall out and the honest mer
can afford to mount the fence and
await results.
