Reciprocity Demented.

Editor OF D n n In the dim past
when we were favored with our annual
visitors from Minneapolis whose APP
pearance was always heralded in ad-
vance by conspicuous notice of a
new-sure railroad to be constructed at
once, to connect the ''Flour City"
with Mile Laos and the boundless
regions beyond, we always received
them with open arms, and our numer-
Gus North Americans were routed out
of their wigwams 1.-THE only ones who
could do SO with impunity) and Sam
Fullerton's game laws were busted
wide open daily, to provide all the
luXuries in fish, flesh and fowl which
the country afforded in honoring and
feasting our guests. In return we were
fed on glowing promises of that new
sure railroad to be built at once, I'M
til in our inauguration we would
hear ''All aboard for Minnea polis."
very distinctly. But, alas, it all
ended in a yearly invasion and COB
bling of a hundred million or more
of our giant pines until to-day there
is hardly a solitary one left. Now a
new danger threatens us following on
the heels of our latest reported new
sure railroad north and south to Mile
Laos. A very Intelligent board of
visitors is on hand again, and our
inauguration has again been ravished
by the almost ethereal description of
this earthly paradise which we possess.
To hear them dwell on the beauties of
the landscape, with the grand rocks
and vine-covered hills, the mysterious
and unknown islands Of this inland
sea. together with it's other numerous
beauties nature had bestowed upon US.
would simply take your breath away.
They went wild over our weather.
Never saw anything like it. They did
not stop to think we were six hundred
feet higher up nearer heaven and that
the blue sky comes down and tucks
us in under the edges guarding us as
it were from the microbic fogs Of the
Mississippi. They assure us that as
soon as they report their discoveries
that many will rise up without dis
tinction Of partisan feeling over the
governorship and demand an outlet
for us. That all seemed nice until
one of the gentlemen let out the fact
that they were here particularly to ex-
anime and report on the quality of the
water. That hardened our hearts at
once. Minnie it seems has been hav-
ing q regular diet Of bugs and bacteria
and it does not agree with her consti-
tuition and it's our pure nectar that's
wanted. We cry, hold, enough right
there. Our last stock in trade is
water, pure, clear, undefled water,
tempered with life-giving ozone. We
will swap. make square deal. Run
us up a railroad and we will run you
down the pure article and stand treat
for your three hundred thousand three
times day and agree to keep up the
supply for thousands unnumbered.
But a railroad is a precedent to pro-
coed. It's microbes for Minnie or a
railroad for Mile Laos. Take your
choice. We demand reciprocity.

An Immense Clover Yield.

An immense yield of clover and hay
is being harvested in the vicinity of
Floodwood. On many farms timothy
grew to a height of five and a half to
six feet, the heads measuring from
six to eigh inches in length. Glover
in many places grew to the height of
four and one-half feet. There will be
a large second crop. Potatoes are
doing extremely we'll and an unusually
large yield is expected.

Threw In the Tobacco.

In city stores where clerks have
no control over the prices of goods
the old time practice Of "throwing
in" something with purchase has
gone out of fashion. Years ago,
however, when "Long John" Went
worth, afterward Mayor Wentworth
of Chicago, was a clerk in a grocery
store, it was an established custom.
A certain customer was particularly
urgent in his appeals for what in
New Orleans is called "lagnappe."
"Now, Johnny, my boy" he said
on one occasion when he had bought
a gallon of molasses, "can't ye just
throw in a trihe of fine cut ?"
Young Wentworth looked at him
for a moment; then his eye twin
killed..
Certainly" he said, and, uncork-
ing the jug, he "threw in" a handful
of chewing tobacco. 1t cured the
man of his habit of asking for q
bonus, if not of the habit Of chew
ing tobacco.

PROOF AGAINST COLD.
Insects Not Injured by the Lowest OF
Low Temperatures.


Low Temperatures.
The severest cold has no terrors
for insect life. 1t has been shown
by experiments that insects may be
artifcially or naturally frozen, SUBJ
jected, indeed, to very low tempera-
lures, without killing or even injur-
ing them. Eggs, Larvae, the pu-
pa, the stages in which most insects
pass the winter, are perfectly i'm
mune to cold.
1t is a common idea that cocoons
of insects serve as protection
against cold, but this is entirely err
roneous. They, like the summer
webs Of webworms, are protection
against birds and insect parasites,
but not against cold. The cocoons
of summer broods are as stout and
thick as those of the generations
that pass the winter. Moths, but
terfies and other insects build stout
er and more compact cocoons in
tropical and torrid countries than
they do in those climates where they
are besieged by winter. There are
many insects, allied to the builders
Of cocoons, that make no such COW
ering, the pupa or the chrysalis be-
ing left entirely exposed. And so
little heat is maintained by the pu-
pe of insects that no matter how
thick the cocoons they are always
too slight to repel freezing cold.
Certain degrees of frigidity seem
to have vastly different effects on
different species of insects. Gnats
and midges dance in the winter sun
shine; butterfies-vanessa, grapta
and sometimes collias-skim over
the snow; wasps and bees wind their
way through the leaAess woods,
ground beetles run quickly over the
cold earth, crickets peep from be-
meath stones and rotting logs, while
other species-the vast majority in
fact-are locked in the lethargy of
Information. One of the common
est evidences of this Information is
to be seen when frewood is carried
into the house and placed near the
warm stove. 1t takes only short
time to bring out swarm of ants
that were sleeping in beetle borings,
their common retreat.-St. Nicho-

AN INQUEST ORDERED
CLARENCE THOMPsoN'S DEATH
TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Charge Made That Adrian Curet Was
Responsible-He Denies the
Accusation.

Adrian Curet, marine, was arrested this
morning by Detectives Pratt and Hewlett
and taken to police headquarters to be de-
tanned until an inquest is held tomorrow In
the case of Clarence G. Thompson, the boy
who was drowned off Shoots wharf at the
foot of Sd street Saturday afternoon.
The arrest of the marine was made be-
cause of a complaint lodged against him
by the father of the drowned boy. His re-
port was that his son, he believed. had been
thrown overheard by the marine. Acting
Coroner Glazebrook heard the report and
concluded he would hold an inquest at the
morgue at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Arrangements had been made for the in
terment of the body in Alexandria this
afternoon, and in order that there might
be no delay DR.. GlaZebrook had the jury
sworn over the body this afternoon. At
the time Thompson, who was sixteen years
old, was drowned the police reported that
he tripped over chain and fell overheard.
Curet told the detectives an entirely differ
ent story at police headquarters today. The
marine is married, and his home Is at l2p4
Sd street southeast, two doors from the
home of the Thompsons. Shortly before
shutdown Saturday Curet, his wife and
lady friend went to the foot of Sd street,
where the marine went in swimming. The
party at the river 'front.' he said, was com
posed of Willie Mangum, Homer kellther,
Willie Calvert and the Thompson boy.
Thompson, he told Detective Pratt. said he
could swim little and asked him (CureD
to give him a lesson, which he was willing
to do.
Drawn Out by Tide.
AS soon as they got into the water. he
stated. the tide was so strong that IT bore
them from the boat He said he saw that
the boy was having trouble, and jumped to
save him. When he caught hold of him he
started toward the boat He saw that
Thompson was frightened and told him to
hold him (CureO by the shoulders and not
around the neck Seeing it almost i'm
possible for him to reach the shore In
safety, he called for help, and Willie Cal
vert came toward them.
Curet says they both went down, and
when they arose he found it necessary to
push Thompson away. He thought the lat
ter would come to the surface and he would
be able to rescue him, but he did not come
up, and the marine says he had to dive for
him. Curet says he became exhausted and
had to be assisted from the water to the
boat. The young man denies that he was
in any way responsible for the death of
young Thompson.
Curet says he is native of Louisville.
Ky. but has lived in Baltimore number of
y ears He enlisted in the Marine Corps for
five years, and his term will expire this
year. He Is held at the first precinct sta
ton, and will be taken to the mOrgue to-
morrow in order that he may hear what the
witnesses to the drowning have to say.
