This had a different effect from
some other sketches of the cartoon spe-
cies,' he said. "A New England
preacher, who had forbidden the paper
in which it was published to come into
his house because of cartoons. changed
his order and became a regular sub
scriber to the sheet. The admiral sent
for me and told me that he had receiv-
ed thousands of letters to the effect
that the cartoon expressed the senti-
mentS of the writer's. A Washington
dealer asked me for a lot of original
drawings to sell. This one. although
| placed a fancy price on it to keep
it from going, was the first sold. John

Another story told by the artist was
one about Senator Hanna. An old ne

Hanna asked him how it was that he
was recognized by a man who had new

he had seen pictures. After being
urged he confessed that these pictures
were cartoons. He acknowledged this
apology:

THE COCKROACH.

Some of us are proud of our old fam
lilies: the best of us can trace our an
cestors back about eight hundred
years if they were fortunate enough to
have been in William the conquerer S
crew Natural history does not say
whether pride is one ofthe cockroach' S
traits. but it ought to be, as he can
trace back his ancestors on a very mod
crate estimate, eight million years
Yes. before America was America.
Defoer its great chains of mountains
were lifted up from the bottom of the
sea. the cockroach family fiourished.
Indeed in those warm, sultry days
when the air was laden with moisture
and carbonic acid. the cockroach was
the prince and sported two pairs of
wings. and flew about in style.
Afterwards when the vegetation of
the coal period was rank the cockrOach
appears to have become somewhat lazy
and CAREFUL of himself-in this period
he discarded the use of his fore wings
as flying implements, and thickened
and StifTened them so as to act as pro-
tective covers for his hind wings.
Later still he seems to have preferred
running about to flying. and let his
hind wings shrink up until they are of
no use to him.
So now you find him unable to fly as
his ancestors did. He is sadly degener-
ated.-afraid of the daylight and revel-
ling at night. All day he Skulks behind
stones and in the dark corners; at
night he prowls around seeking what
he may devour.

Science for Housewives

antfary E1gines-.

His tastes are somewhat plebeian-he
always prefers the servants quarters
of house. partly because of the warm
III of the kitchen-he delights in
warmth-and partly because he is a
scavenger, eating readily most things
from old clothes to bed-bugs. He is
particularly fond of the latter.
In habits the cockroach is very
clearly. There is nothing really objec-
ticnable about him and he certainly
does more good than harm in a SLOW
emily kept house. Still there is a preju-
dice against him with the more fastid-
ious.-there is a prejudice against rats
In a city in the same way-purely a
prejudice of the northern races. I have
been in tropical cities swarming with
rats and tame carrion crows where
these creatures are looked upon with
favOr-nay, as a necessity to save the
town from worse epidemics.
Whether there is reason in the pref
udice againS the cOckrOach. who has
held his own for SO many years, it is
not for me to say, but I know that the
verdict of all housewives in this city
would be that of Lewis Carols Queen
of Hearts. ''off with his head"
So be it-mix up a cup full of plaster
of paris. two cups of oatmeal and some
sugar. and sprinkle it about where the

tage of not being poisonous. See that

ticular property or deal. Mr.. Armstead
intimated that he had. but declined to

had made his report to the people in

HEARD IN
HOTEL LOBBIES

Harry A. Armstead, a prominent
mining engineer of New York, return
ed yesterday from an extensive trip
through the republic of Mexico with a
party of other prominent fasteners.
Mr.. Armstead was found at the Shell
don hotel last night by The Herald
man just prior to his departure for his
home in New York City. In answer to
some questions as to the character OF
his trip he said:
Il have spent a good deal of my time
heretofore visiting and examining the
mineral properties of the Northern
states. such as Colorado, Wyoming,
Montana, Nevada, but some little time
ago l was induced to visit Ell Paso and
take a trip through New Mexico and
Old Mexico. / have just returned from
the latter country and it is my DELHI
crate Judgment that in time it will be
one of the greatest mining sections of
the world. 1t is only in its infancy
at the present time for it has lacked
capital for development, but investors
are just beginning to perceive the
promise of this whole southwestern
country, and | am sure that capital
will flow this way in quantity. l went
south as far as Zacatecas but l was not
greatly impressed with that part of the
country from mining standpoint.
prefer the northern part of the coun-
try, Durango, Sonora and the state of
chihuahua. The richness of those
sections is uncomfortable.
And right here let me say that in
my judgment Ell Paso is destined to be-
come one of the leading mining CEN
tiers of this country, for the reason that
