naugh, Of this city, rode oyer to AL

While there somebody stuck q
needle in che tire Of his bicycle and
Mordaunt did not discover it until
he was well on the road home. He
was obliged to walk on into town.
He reported the walking good, but
he seemed quite warm-not alto
gether caused by the weather,
either. He must be a peculiarly
organized animal who can derive
any enjoyment in perpetrating a
trick of this nature.
A rather curious but probably
harmless "bug" has been sent to
Secretary Lamberson, Of the State
Horticultural Society, which he has
sent to Prof. Cordley at Corvallis to
be classified. The bug is over an
inch in length, and is striped black
and white, like the garments Of the
convicts in the state penitentiary.
It has antennae, or feelers, as loag
as itself, divided in many points or
sections, black and white alter
nately. There are so many injur-
ious Insects these days that farm
ers and orchardists are suspicious Of
any strange bug they come across,
and send in for examination all the
bugs they are not acquainted with.
