 guaye lie Eoes Not Understand.
 There is certain city official who, although capable enough in his busi- ness, is notorious for his lack of knowl- edge of the kings English and for his fondness for big words.
 He came to his office one misty, muggy day and, noticing the air was foul, called out to one of his subordin- ates: "Open that window and putrefy the airr'
 On another occasion. when called upon to take action for an infractiOn of one of the city ordinances, he was asked where he got his information. "Oh, I got word through unanimous letter that this work was being carried on superstitlously."
 Speaking of his horse, fine trotter, which he drives almost daily on the speedway, he remarked: "I can't drive out for some time because Jack (the horse) has a spasm on his off hind leg"
 On another occasion. speaking of a severe storm in which he had been caught, he said: Tt was a perfect to- ronto."
 Once in speaking of his daughter, who. he said, was inclined to be music al. he remarked: "I am going to send her to the Controversy of Music"
 Once he felt i'll and blue, and, to friend. he remarked: "I am growing feeble and feel as if my working days were about over. 1 am a poor man and suppose I'll have to pass my last days in some institution for indignant old men."-New York Times.

The insect plaques of summer are no matter of jest Man must strive with them as he strives against the other hostile forces of nature. He must fight the Hessian fly or the wheat crop will not be garnered. he must fight the wee vii or the grain will perish in the bins. he must fight the army worm or the cattle will starve in the pastures, he must fight the tent caterpillar and the borer or his forests will wither and the streams disappear.
