Bugs in the Liquor.

GA certain promoter, who is now in
Cuba said New Orleans sugar
man, "was the victim not u great
while ago of what he describes as the
most contemplate outrage ever perpe-
trated upon gentlemen in Louisiana.
The outrage occurred in my private
Office. and l blush to say I was an ac
cessory before the act. You see, this
promoter had been making himself
very free with the premises, and liked
especially to drop into our back office,
where there was always a bottle Of
good rye on the sideboard. At first
he only Joined us on invitation, but
finally he glided into the habit of
helping himself whenever he happen
ed in, which averaged about twice a
day. One afternoon my partner,
Billy, was in a confectionery store,
and happened to see lot of candy
made in the shape of fantastic bugs,
beetles and lizards. It at once occur
red to him that here was chance to
entertain our unbidden guest, so he
brought them to the office, where he
waited patiently until he heard the
promoter $ voice in the outer room,
and then emptied the collection in the
bottle of rye. AS usual he proceeded
to help himself to nip, and was
smacking his lips when Billy wheeled
suddenly around at his desk. You
didn' t drink anything out Of that bot
tie, did you?' he demanded, sharply.
sWhy-er-yes, said the promoter,
looking startled 'Why?' Good hea-
vens!' yelled Billy, I was using that
to preserve lot of bugs and lizards
from Guatemala! The right w.liskey
is in the cabinet.
"Our friend grabbed up the bottle,
and held it to the light, and there,
sure enough, was four-inch stratum
of horrible-looking blue and yellow
monsters, all tangled up together.
'Oh, Lord, he gurgled, turning ashy.
Il thought it tasted queer; I'm pois-
oned sure.' With that he shot out Of
the Office. We intended to tell him it
was only joEe, but he got away too
quick, and about an hour later we re.
ceived visit from doctor wo wanted
to know exactly what kind of bugs
were in the bottle. He said Col. -
was very sick man. We put him on
and he went away snickering. That
was the last we saw Of the Colonel,

- The prairie dogs in Texas are

device for catching them, which has
been adopted by large number Of the
ranchmen and farmers. On one large
ranch over 1900 were captured aud

'oyer the animals mound and makes it
a prisoner when it emerges from the
hole. This pest has been destroying
over so per cent. Of the growing crops

"Here is . curious error,' said the
schooIboy, as he laid down his "Uncle

expression All men are born free and

"Well, what is the matter With
that ?" inquired the schoolboy' 9 uncle.
"Why, the quotation should be,
sAll men are born equal. There is
no free in it,
"Do you mean totell me that Jeder-

And This In woodbine

A disgr aceful occurrence which
has been allowed to go unpunish-
ed happened Monday forenoon,
when two lads got into an alterca-
ton in town and went outside of
the corporation limit to fight it
out. Several citizens who can be
considered as no better than abet-
tors of the fight went along and
the ,..:pill" was pulled off on the
fiat east of town. As yet we do
not know that any steps have been
taken to punish the fighters, al
though some steps should be taxi
en- in that direction by our peace
officers, if for no more than to dis
pei the idea that seems to prevail
among boys that if they go out
side of the town they can fight
with impunity. We thought
our republican friends elected

haps we are mistaken. If SO we
had better have an election and

COUNTED BY MACHINERY.
Facts About Each Person WIN n.

Our first census, made In 1875, showed
the population of the United States to
be 100000, and the count cost Uncle
Sam. who was comparatively poor then,
one cent for each person. 1t is esti-
mated that the twelfth census, to be
made in June, 1900, will show that our
people number 75,ooo,ooo, and that the
item of clerk hire. in the census bureau
alone, will exceed $5,oo0,ooo. Although
the work Of enumeration will be COM
pleted by the LIST of July, it will prob
ably be two or even three months later
before the last Of the schedules arc
received ut the census Office; for not
only must they all be examined by the
supervisors. but in many cases they will
probably require revision because Of
some error or informality. The actual
counting OF the people will not be done
until the schedules are turned into the
census Office. The enumerators simply
gather the facts, and the Office force in
Washington does the counting and! the
compiling, which is done by electricity.
In 100 duys all the facts relating to u.s.
100000 people will be tabulated.-Clif-

STARTLING RAT STORY,
and Houses Overrun by
tho Rodents.

About year ago an important dis
trict post Office In London was closed.
1t had been opened for stamps, money
orders, post Office orders and kilograms
till midnight, and 1t was in the cente,
OF a thickly-populated district. One
day the doors were shut and Il card at
fixed, stating that il was closed for re-
pairs. Weeks passed and it was not re-
opened. The postmaster general re-
ceived complaints by the score. But
the weeks became months, and still the
doors remained closed. And the peo-
pie around wondered why.
The truth is at last out, and some
OF the families residing near know it
to their cost. The post Office in ques-
ton had to be closed because 1t had
become the happy hunting ground OF
vast hordes of rats, who consumed let
tiers by the bagful, and many postal or
ders, money order forms and other of
fetal papers. The rats forced the post
office to be closed, and after numerous
attempts to rid the place Of the rodents,
It was found possible to do SO only
by putting down entirely new cement
foundations and entirely re1imbering
the place. AS nearly as possible the
post Office had, but for its mere she'll,
to be rebuilt. That done, the troubles
OF the immediate neighborhood became
acceptuated. Driven from the post Of
flee the rats have journeyed to the sur
rounding houses, which are now In
