RAlNED BLACK BUGS
a Section of I&liCkitat county
Covcrcd With Insects.


John Splawm, who resides III the
Hog Heaven country, IN klckltat
county, reported Il peculiar shower OF
black hug> just beyond the Curtis place,
SAYS Tie Dall,S Times. Nountaincor.
Before reaching the vicinity whcr"
the insects were falling he noticed the
atmosphere ahead was filled with what
appeared To- hr Il dark fog, and that
the ground was uncommnnlv black.
On prucccdng a little farther he OBJ
served the ground WAS covered with
mvriads of creeping insects about the
size of ordinary grains OF powder, and
in places they were piled up to the
depth of two inches. He could scrape
them up 10y the handful, and they ap-
pcarcd to he lively little fellows,
resembling a louise in form, through
they were jet black in color.
What the little insects are or where
they came from is mystery. Such Il
shower was never before heard OF in
this vicinity, though it does some
times rain frogs and horned toads,
but black lice, as Mr.. Splawn calls
them, are unusual visitors. 1t might
be we'll for some OF our scientists to
visit the locality where they were dis
covered and exert their theological
wits to determine what they are.

TRUMPET CALLS,
Rams Horn Sound a Warning Note
To the Unredeemed.


To the Unredeemed.
What bad man hates, the devil
hates.
When men begin drinking, they
generally stop thinking.
Most of us would help the Lord
more, if We would smile more.
Looking a difficulty square in the
face, will often kill it.
No prayer meeting was ever killed
by the prayers being too short.
The world has learned more from its
poor, than it has from its kings.
The man who robs another of his
right, loses most by the transaction.
Beware of the sin whose only de-
Tense is that it is highly respectable.
When the enemies of God applaud
us We are not doing the right thing.
Boil down some mems religion and it
will be found to have been nothing
but frOth.
When love gives it enriches itself,
but what cOvetousness keeps it takes
from itself.
The sun gives light to the world,
and yet comet will often attract the
most attention.
The cold man" has been anxious to
be as the gods ever since he ate of the
forbidden fruit.
When the preaching is aimed straight
at the face of man how quick the hypo
critic begins to dodge.
Those who make the Bible q lamp
to their feet, will never have to spend
much time in the dark.
There are people who claim to be
praying for the poor, who never dc
anything else for them.
The devil has to work for all he
gets in the neighbOrhoOd where the
right kind of good man lives.
If we are afflicted, let us find COM
fort in the thought that it is because
God sees b good reason for it.
1t will probably be some time before
the people who blow trumpets solely
to advertise themselves, are all dead.
Some people are unsaved sinners to-
day, because they sought a shouting
experience instead of seeking Christ.
The real owner of a thing is the one
who gets the most good out of it, not
the one who may have the name of be.
ing its pOssessor.
We often pray for faith to remove
mountains, when what we need is
light to see that they should remain
right where they are.
When the preaching is against sins
that are not known this side of China
and no other, the devil will help the
preacher to get congregation.
Go forth with smile on your face,
and you will return believing that
most people are good-natured. Wear
a frown, and you will find plenty OF
quarrelsome people.

An Easy Exerinlent.

The world as whole, is always with
i'll about one year of starvation, with
in two or three years of becoming
naked, and within very few years of
becoming houseless. In little over
century of existence as a nation, and
i'll less than a century of union under
a constitution, we have succeeded in
saving products of human labor in the
form of public. buildings, warehouses,
workshops, factories, railways, vessels,
dwellings, tools, machinery, and goods
and wares on the way from the pro-
ducer to the actual consumer, to the
amount of a little over 500 worth per
head. We consume every year nearly
a third as much as this measure of all
our savings. - Edward Atkinson, in
Engineering Magazine.
That's interesting, Edward; very in
teresting. Let's see.
If man is worth a thousand dol
lars he has as much wealth as the
average citizen consumes i'm four years
hasn't he?
And if he has million, that is his
fair share for four thousand years.
Isn't that right?
And if John d. Rockefeller has 1926
100000, that is enough to last him
100000 years if we have figured it
straight. Eli, Edward?
"Now, Edward, suppose you walk
down the street block or so and ask
that gaunt, hollow-eyed man who has
not cent in his pocket (you will find
him without any difficulty, Edward)
whether he thinks the highest states
manship and truest patriotism con-
sists in guarding with jealous fierceness
the "vested interests" of John D.
Rockefeller or in trying to arrange it
so the forty-fve billion dollars which
represents the total wealth OF this
great country will be divided up into
smaller chunks and sort O passed
around?
Ask him, Edward. But don't
publish what he tells you. 1t might
make Mark Hanna mad; and you
know you can't afford to do that.-Ex.

HE FORGOT HIMSELF.
Absent.Nindcd Barber who shaved
n Dead Man.
Portland Welcome.

Portland Welcome.
\ Third street barber was called
upon recently t. perform task
which, though il promised good pay
lncnt is nevertheless one hated 10y all
men Of the craft This task WAS the
shaving Of 4 corpse preparatory To
burial. The barl"r who was called
had always performed similar work
for the man when living, and this
fact made the task all the harder for
him.
The barber was notified Of his work
in the afternoon and was told to come
to the house in the evening. To
fortify himself for the ordeal he spent
the afternoon in stimulating himself
By afternoon he had so thoroughly
performed this act that he was sadly
the worse for wear. He was so far
gone, in fact, that the proprietor of
the shop was somewhat skcptical rs to
his ability to perform the work, but
this the barber Indignantly denied.
TO help matters out friend was sent
with him.
The house was reached and the
barber was shown to the room of the
friend lie prepared his rnzOrs and was
soon at work. He shaved the face of
the corpse in satisfactory manner.
and then, standing back to get better
look at his work, the professional
instinct got the better of him, and he
asked in rather shaky tones: "Hair
cut, sir?"
Hardly had he uttered these words
than the real nature Of the situation
dawned upon him, and with an ex-
clamation of dismay he beat a hasty
retreat from the house without even
waiting for his pay. The astonished
friend gathered up the BARRIERS tools,
and after securing 4 good sum for the
BARRIERS work he returned to the shop.
Just outside he met the barber, now
almost sober, who told him to keep
the money received, but never to tell
the story, but it leaked out, as such
things always do.

a Prize Joke.

The New York World offered 500
for the best humorous sketch hearing
ON politics The following story won
the prize:
There has been much boltng this
year, and hence the story told by an
Indiana speaker to illustrate the
chasing away of voters after false gods
is particularly good. 1t does not
matter to which party the speaker
belonged.
According to the chronicle, Il man
was one day driving Il number OF
calves along Il country road when he
met another farmer driving Il bull.
The animal was angry and going at Il
terrific speed, with the farmer mounted
on horse in hot pursuit.
The calves gave surprised bleats,
turned around, stuck their tails straight
out behind them and started after the
bull. In vain the owner of the younger
animals tried to stop them. His yells
were unheeded, and soon the bull and
the calves disappeared up the road in
a cloud of dust The farmer stopped
and mopped his face, mad clear
through. Then he yelled after the
vanishing bovines:
AGO it, We dern fools! Foller that
bull clear out of the State! Yell find
what a mistake We have made when
supper time comes!"
A JAPANESE soldier is allowed seven
ounces of meat in his rations, an Aus
trian or Spanish private eight, a
French, Turkish, German or Belgian
nine, an Italian eleven, an English
man twelve, Russian sixteen. The
ration in the United States army is
twenty ounces. The ration of bread
is highest in the Austrian army, thirty
two ounces, and lowest in the English,
sixteen ounces. In the German army
it is twenty-eight ounces, in the
French and Italian it is twenty-five,
the same in the United States, and i'll
the Russian army seventeen ounces.
All modern armies, save the Russian,
have also daily allowance of rice.

WHICH WILL YOU PREFEKr

Gold Republicans say that high tariff
will bring us prosperity and the green
backs must be redeemed and then des
troyed; in short less money and more
taxes.
The international agreement RepubIi-
cans say that we must have more tariff
and also international bimetallism"-if
we can get it.
Gold Democrats say gold standard,
pure and simple, and no bimetallism;
greenbacks and treasury notes must be
destroyed and the finances of the coun-
try turned over to the banks.
Bimetallists say the country needs
more money, and free coinage of both
silver and gold will give US more money.
As to this money question, which will
you prefer? For after, all the money is
the great question, leading all others
and this is the general opinion.

MADE THE BIG LENS.
ALvAN G. CLARK EQUIPPED THE
GREAT YERKES TELESCOPE.

How He Came TO lie the Greatest Lens
Maker In the World - At Work Five
Years on the YerI,es Lens other Big
Glasses.
President Harper Of the Chicago univer-
siCy had the pleasure the other day Of look
ing through telescope containing the
largest rofracting lens ever mounted. 1t
was In the great Yorkes telescope at Lake
Geneva, Wis, where the observatory of the
Chicago university is located Only one
man In all tho world is able to perfect
such Ions. Perhaps you think he is some
distinguished foreigner. Not at all. He
Is an American and Yankee. His name
is Alvan Graham Clark, and he lives and
works in Cambridge, Mass.
Mr.. Clark, who turned out this optical
wonder, Is the illustrious son Of an equally
illustrious father. He was practically
brought up in the business, and he has
helped build up the fame of the house
which his father started until today there
Is hardly an astronomer in the world who
docs not know that the only place on the
globe where refraoting lenses Of large size
can be obtained Is Of the firm of Alvan
Clark e. Sons, Cambridge. OF this firm
Alvan Graham Clark is the sole survivor.
He is nearly SO years old, and after he has
passed away there will be no one to take
his place.
The original Alvan Clark was a most
remarkable man. As youth he showed
great artistic ability and for some years
worked as an engraver Of blocks used IN
calico printing Then he removed to Bos
ton, where he opened studio for portrait
painting. In this he was quite success
full. All his portraits were done with ex
quisite accuracy. He painted Daniel Web
ster, and this gave him quite reputation
He was 40 years old before he began tn,
work which made him famous. His star
was made quite by accident. Mr.. Clarl
had local reputation as a mathematician
and one day when a noighboring opticiar
cbanced into his studio with problem II
figures he readily dropped his brush ant
set to figuring.
1t was more than 40 years after that be
fore Mr.. Clark painted another portrait
for he became deeply interested in tht
problem. The optician had asked him Il
figure out the proper curve for lens
Mr.. Clark quickly found the solution anC
in turn found out that opticians them
selves, even the best of them, knew com
paratively little about lenses. So h
began to experiment. His first achieve
ment was the making of five inch re
fracting lens, which, with the aid of hi
son, he mounted in a tube. With thi
