sUNKHAzER FLIES OF MAINE
Worse Than Jersey Mosquitoes and
KiAslnE Bugs Have No Chance
with Them.

Since reading in the newspapers Of the
kissing bug ard his doings all the people in
rural Maine have taken to capturing bugs
and insectso: all sorts and bringing the speci-
mems to town for examination by newspa-
per men and na:uralists. Countless are the
kinds of bugs that have been taken to
Bangor in bottles, boxes and preserve jars,
and the captors all seem to be sorely dis
appointed when told that instead of the gen.
uine kisser they have moth killer, lace
winged fly, or something quite common and
harmless.
A man came from Veazie to Bangor the
other day with ferocious- looking bug
corked up in preserve jar and claimed the
credit of having captured the first kissing
bug in that part of the country. 1t was not
the famous kissing bug that he had, but ma
tive bug somewhat resembling small lob
ster with wings.
Il don't care hang" declared the Veazie
man, when told that he must try again.
These fellers kin lick the stufsin' out OF
Sunkhazers, and that's what none of your
common bugs kin do"
Not many people living far away from
Bangor know what ''Sunkhazer" IS like.
1t is ferocious big fy that infests the flats
and meadows about Sunkhaze deadwater,
a place in the Penobscot river where the
are RATED. The Sunkhazers are the pest
of the loggers, upon whom they feast to
their heart content, and nothing can drive
them away. They are four times the size of
the famed mosquitoes of Jersey, and any
Maine man will back one of them against a
dozen kissing bugs in a fair stand-up fight.
Maine folks have, probably, no kissing bugs,
but so long as the Sunkhazers survive they
will not feel lonesome.-N. Y. Sun.

A BUs1NEssL1KE WOMAN.


Ds Nathan Wood told q good story
of woman's capability for business at
the annual meeting of the Woman's
Suffrage Association of New England.

fellows the old-time feeling about its
not being quite possible for women to
be dignified and intelligent in business

the management of u great institution.

V:ssar finally persuaded the trustees
to let them nominate three women to
be fellow trustees with us. There were

A guestsat one of the leading New

scrutiny showed that the material was
evidently something else. 1t was passed

it was asbestos. says the New Orleans

WHEN a woman got up in the board, and.

plan in detail, giving us specifications,

THE suNFLOWER.
Pretty Little Tale 81 the Waees
Nynph Clytie, Who was
Turned Int0 One.

There is hardly anyone who cannot
:atch q glimpse Of the sometimes
saucv. sometimes sad face in the pansy
and heartsease. By just partially clos
ing the eyes one can see many pretty
child faces in the pansy bed. But of q
different class is the face of Clytie (tha
sunfiower).
She was a water nymph. All the JOY
and brigf tness of her life, she felt. came
from the glowing sun above, to whom
she looked up in eyer-growing wonder
and admiration. And it was but natural
that her admiration should change to
love, for whenever she looked away
from that bright face, to her eyes,
blinded by its brilliancy, the world and
and all things else seemed black and
comfortless.
Used as he was to worship. the heart
less sun god, Apollo, grew tired Of see
ing the countenance turned, eveS to-
ward him. Indeed. SO ardently did it
reflect his CLEAN that he seemed to be
held to that ono spot with a kind OF
fascination. OF course that would never
do. Grass and flowers and trees would
soon be so parched and dried that their
very life would wither away.
Still Clytie gazed with burning, pas
ssonate eyes into the heart of her god,
but found it empty of all love for her.
Worse than blank it was, for a great
anger toward that charm which held
him transfixed was fast filling it. With
last mighty effort he turned away
with resolve that he would never
again bless that land with his light.
Nine days Clytie sat ON the cold
ground, with her unbound hair stream
ing over her shoulders. Other lovers
wooed her; the gentle breeze kissed her
and sought to turn her thoughts from
her lost love to himself; the dew
dropped quietly beside her and even en-
folded her in his embrace. But there
she sat, tasting neither food nor drink.
She gazed toward thu clouded sky in
vain longing. Still as each day dawned
she caught but one glimpse of the sun
before he turned his horses away and
swept on to the west.
Soon her limbs became rooted to the
ground and her streaming hair turned
into petals, flashing out around her
face like the rays of the sun god him.
self. Every morning. so they say, this
snnfower turns on its stem, and Clytie,
sad and somber, looks out from her
golden halo of petals and follows with
mournful eyes the course of Apollo's

A Fable In stocks,

Once upon a time an operator in stocks
was sold short, and ruin stared him in the
face unless the market should break. In his
desperation he remembered having heard
that honesty is the best policy He tried to
dismiss the foolish thought, but in vain.
Finally, like the drowning man catching at
the straw, he resolved to try being honest.
The very next day he put his design into ex-
ecution, and he hadn't been honest more
than 10 minutes when II of the leading bulls
fell dead, they were so surprised at him.
Hereupon the market naturally broke, and
the operator could get all the stocks he
wanted at his own figure. 1t is claimed that
some, if not all, of these bulls had taken
rad,shes and ham for breakfast, but that, it
is submitted, does not destroy the moral OF
this fable.-Detroit Journal.
