1t has been fairly well established
that couple of newspaper correspond
ents invented the kissing bug" to re.
lieve the monotony of the dull season.
1t seems that they wrote up the little
story in lieu OF. their annual account of
the appearance of the sea serpent. BUTT
is fair to assume that they never dreamed
of the far-reaching effects of their fabri
cation. Editors in all parts of the coun-
try are busy allaying the fears of their
fair correspondents. The Omaha World.
Herald man gives this advice on the
subject: ave would say that if the
kissing bug wears silk hat with a
frock coat, torture collar, with negli.
gee shirt, curls his mustache and smokes
cigarettes, the best way to get rid of him
is to smash him over the head with a
piece of lead pipe, he being incapable
of taking hint If, on the other hand,
the bug dresses neatly and with due
regard for. common sense, saves his
money and don't foozle away his time
playing golf, we advise our fair cores
pondent to cultivate him instead of
avoiding him. We hope we have made
our position clear"
