New Nuisance Coming.

Last year it was the kissing bug,
this year it's the cannibal bug.
And the kissing bug was a tame,
unsophisticated amateur compared
to this latest member of the bug
family-a poor innocent beginner,
a dub"
The cannibal bug feeds on hui
man blood, and is a sucker-but
only in tile way that he gets his
daily meals. Do not think other
wise for II moment For he is the
"real thing and II terror by
night in the bargain.
He is Il product of Mexico, and
he is headed this way by the drove
and the million. He is no relation
to the gold bug" nor the "big
bug" either, but that doesn't wor-
ry him in the least; he is on ia
miliar terms with both and they
are no friends of his.
The cannibal bug flies into hous-
es by night and sucks human blood
He is especially partial to men with
big, red noses He likes a stick
in his drinks, it seems. But if
your nose is as chaste as the driv-
en- snow, he will nip it just the
same, aud in the morning you will
have II "beak" that will gain YOU
all the discredit that many chap
spends time and money in acquir-
ing.
The cannibal bug is also called
the nose bug, but not from the
foregoing reasons. The name at
taches to him because he has a nose
like the suction pipe of Il steam
fire engine. This he attaches tC
the human being upon which he
has fell designs and then turns
loose the suction. And it draws
first blood every time.
By that he may be distinguished
especially after he has become at.
tachcd to you. Otherwise, his
shape is oval; he has four wings
and legs, and feelers out in from
of his head. Around the edge OF
his body is a dark line, with brigh
spots along it at regular intervals
The history of the cannibal bug
is lost in mystery. He belongs t,
the family of assassin bugs, and il
first cousin to the spotted corsair
His legs give one the "rreeps" ant
his beak folds up in three joints
when not in use.
And, lastly-and this is tn,
most detestable part Of it-thi'
wretch belongs to that most plebe.
ian of families. the bed bug!

Louis st-Dispatch has unearthcd
Mark Hanna's plans for the Me-
kinlcy campaign, and he puts it III
follows:
First. The trusts must go.
They must 60 by force of a consti-
tutional amendment which can do
no harm until after the election,
which will give the trusts plenty of
time to contribute to the Rcpubli-
can campaign fund. If they do
NOT contribute they must surely
20. If they do contribute, they
still must 90. but there will be no
hurry on that point.
Memo by Mr.. Hanna: We need
the money.
Second. The smoothing over of
the Puerto Rican trouble by put
ting the whole matter in the hands
of the President, that is: In the
hands of Mr.. Hanna, then things
can be worked to the glory of the
Republican party and the present
excitement and feeling allaycd.
Memo by Mr.. Hanna: The peo-
plr forget very quickly.
Third. The twisting of the
British Lions tail. The prejudice
of Americans for America must
now be respected. II is near cam
paign time. Consequently the
ay-Paunccfote treaty will be de-
featcd by administration orders or
will be passed with the Davis
amendment giving this govern
mcnt the right to fortify and to
close the Nicaragua canal in time
of war, and the whole world mott
fled that Great Britain cannot
bamboozle us nor be too friendly
with us.
Memo by Mr.. Hanna: No an
glomania in Presidential year.
Mr.. Hanna and his colleagues
are prepared to be virtuous if they
cannot get the money. They are
prepared to be- very virtuous, i'll
fact. The trusts have already been
notified that the contribution box
is to be passed around in II very
short time. The gold standard
law has closed for five years at
least the Golfers that were so easily
pricd open with the sound money
lever four years ago. The trusts
alone are left. Millions are need
ed, and if they are not supplied so
much the worse for the trusts.
Memo by Mr.. Hanna: Put ny
and keep mum.

make such an attempt, is it proba-
bic that ali of these sixty Roman
soldiers, knowing that death was
the penalty, would have fallen a
sleep at the same time!
3. But admitting this to have
been the ease, improbable as it
seems, can it be believed that these
men could have entered by stealth
through the lines of these soldiers,
broken the seal, rolled away the
stone and stolen the body without
awakening one of the guard
I. But think of the absurdity
of these soldiers testifying to
fact that occurred while they were
asleep! How could they know
what became of the body!
Not one word do we hear of any
effort to recover the stolen body
thru the efforts of the soldiers or
the disciples.
There can be but one rational
conclusion. We are compelled to
subscribe to the above improbable
tiles, absurd as they are, if we de-
ny that Jesus rose from the dead.
1t is impossible to do so; and we
are forced to the conclusion that
not one of these soldiers, chief
priests or elders believed for a mo-
ment that the disciples stole the
dead body of Jesus. They knew
better.

Hard on Roosevelt.

General Roosevelt is always glad
of laugh. a short time ago he
enjoyed an opportunity and paid
for it.
The incident happened while he
was visiting Cornell University
during convention. The stu
dents, glad of a chance to display
their enthusiasm, entertained the
governor at one of the fraternity
houses. Just as he was about to
leave one of the staff said to him:
Governor, the boys have the
foundation of capital library, and
| think they would appreciate Il
copy of your Rough Riders ="
"All right boys" said the gov
ernor, heartily, "Fll be glad to
send you a copy with my compli-
ments. The book would be but a
small return for your hospitality"
Whereupon one of the students
broke in eXcitedly: That's so,
governor; I've read it,"

Maine Shipyards Are BUSY.

High freights aud scarcity OF ves-
sells have had the effect of arouslng
new life in the shipyards of Maine. and
the prospect for the construction Of
wooden merchantmen, especially for
the coastwise trade. is brighter than 1t
has been before for twenty years.
Most of the tonnage built in Maine in
recent years has been in the form Of
barges and large schooners. but now
there is a call for vessels of small to

THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS.
Matt. %: lib. April 10.
Golden Text: He is risen as he
said. Matt. Is: 2G.
INTRODUCTION.
In our course of study, we an
ticipate the resurrection of our
Lord in order to bring this lesson
on Easter Sunday. This is a day
that is COMMUNICATED throughout
Christendom, and rightly, for it is
the greatest event in the worlds
history. That Christ rose from
the dead, is the fundamental and
central doctrine of the Christian
religion. All New Testament truth
hinges on this great essential fact;
and this fact well-establised, places
the claims of Christianity upon an
impregnable rock. If Christ did
not rise from the dead, then all
our preaching is vain, and we are
a deluded and miserable people.
Instead of following the familiar
verses of the text in detail, let us
look closely at the argument of the
only essential issue between Christ
ianity and intidelity.
WAS CHRIST'S BODY STOLEN!
That is the only issue, the only
ground of debate. That such a
man as Jesus of NaZare tn lived;
that his life was a wonderful one;
that it was an eXemplifcation of
every virtue; that He spakc as
never man before Him spake; that
He did many wonderful works
that He was arrested, tried, con-
demned and crucified; that He was
buried, and His body guarded by
Roman soldiery, none of these
facts are denied by inhdelity,
What, then, is infidelity's only
plea! "The disciples stole and
hid the body of Jesus" Was this
probable or possible under the cir
cumstances! Let us see.
|. What We're the physical sur
roundings, and what was the state
of mind of those disciples after
Jesus expired upon the cross'
They Were poor, pOwerless, and
sadly dishcartened. With guard
of sixty Roman soldiers around
that body in Joseph's new tomb,
it would seem very unreasonable
to suppose that they would even
have attempted such bold and
dangerous feat.
=. But granting that they did

How to Learn Good English.

From Gunton's Magazine: II the
pupil always hears correct English
from his teachers and is always cor
rected when he uses incorrect English
he will acquire correct use of the
language without spending several
years studying books devoted to rules
and their many exceptions, diagrams,
parsing, spelling lists. etc. After the
pupil has learned to use correct Eng
lish while learning something else
which he writes and talks about, Ave
hours Il week for one school year is
all that is necessary for the systematic
teaching of English grammar.

Temperance Man: keely the
great drunkard reformer, who died
recently, was boon to mankind.
Thousands upon thousands of men
and women have been treated with
good results. Some say that TAX
ing the cure impairs the health of
the patient and that they won't live
longer than years after the TAX
ing of the treatment but ! have
found this to be an untruth. Those
who take the cure seem to be Just
as well after taking it as they were
| before.
Fruit Man: The peach buds |
think, are all right. | do not think
the winter hurt them at all. In
fact, am afraid there are too many
buds on the trees to do much good.
I'd like to see good per cent of
them fall off. If they don't, the
trees will be overloaded and the
fruit somewhat inferior. Apples
are all right too; the winter has
not hurt them in the least. If we
do not have too much wind at the

have good apple crop this year.

THIS announcement comes from
Washington:
No reduction of war taxes at
this session of Congress. That is
Mr.. Mckinley's latest cdict, issued
in the face of Secretary Cages
statement that the war taxes are
piling up treasury surplus which
may become dangerous by causing
a financial Stringency. There are
three reasons for this edict, Meth
er creditable to the Republican adj
ministration The first is, that Mr..
Mckinley wishes Congress to hur-
nv adjournment, in order that Re-
publican Senators and Representa-
tives may go home and try to
explain the plumbers of his admin
istration, to save him from the
defeat he fears; the second is, that
Boss Hanna may have an opportu-
nifty TO dickcr with the big interests
affected by the war taxes for cam
paign contributions, and the third
is, that Il heavy surplus may be
accumulated in the Treasury to
meet the cxtravagant appropriations
which are contemplated ut the next
session of Congress, after the Pres
idrntial election. This. may be
satisfactory to the Republican boss
es, but how about the people who
are paying in the ncighborhood of
81 per capita i'll war taxes which
are not necessary to run the gov
eminent as it should be run?

about the crushing of two republics

with the moral if not the actual
support Of the Mckinley admins
tration. 1t is well known in Wash
ington that Mr.. Davis has officially
stood in the way of several big
schemes, connected with public
lands and the pension system, and
that there has been almost constant
friction between him and Secretary
Hitchcock on account of them.
Members of the administration
know that Mr.. Davis has i'll his
possession several chunks of polit-
zeal dynamite. That is why his
resignation was considered at n
cabinet meeting. His champion
ship of the Beers is disagreeable to
the administration, but fear that
he may do worse prevents any at
