Edward G. Uihlein. former the

had large collection Of rare
flowers, shrubs and trees from all
parts Of the world, Of which the
bugs were just as apprec'ative rs
he was himself. As soon rs he
would get some rare specimen
the bugs would pounce upon il
aud deyour IT, Many times bugs
from foreign lands, like the red
and green dies. would arrive with
plants and start their deadly
work. Finally, however, Mr..
Uihlein fixed on the plan Of putt.
ing scooped-out potato near
each plant. This decoy meal
proved a great success, and the
bugs now feed on potato and
leave the plants roots alone.

Naturally that part of the Presi-
dents message which will have the
greatest interest for Congress and
the country is the n which relates
to our new accessions of territory.
Like every other American, the
President wants the country's pledge
to Cuba to be kept, but he adds that
our mission with regard to that
island will not be fulfilled by "turn-
ing adrift a loosely framed common.

besot states which are impeded by
eethe incongruities of their political
organization and the recurring occa-
sions for internal rivalries." For
Porto Rico a S, heme is recommend
ed which would give that island a
civil authority nearly like that pos
sessed by the territories. The Presi'
dent makes no specific suggestions
regarding a civil regime IN the
Philippines, but says that when the
rebellion is suppressed it "will be
tho duty of Congress to construct a
plan Of government which shall es-
tablish and maintain freedom, order
