Frost Kills Bugs

Quincy, Ill.,, May 9.-The
mercury in this vicinity dropped
to 30 degrees last night, and
there was formation CT ice and
falling frost in many places. No
serious damage as yet has hap
pened to peaches or apples;
both of these fruits could spare
of their half blossoms and then
be in better condition. The
farmers and gardeners say the
cold spell destroyed millions of
chinch bugs and other bugs aud
the larvae of bugs that prey
upon fruits and vegetables.

drink, have you ever counted
the actual cost in dollars and
cents? Saloon-keepers say
their largest support comes
from men of labor. Is that
true? 1t is stated on good au-
thority that from one-third to
one half the wages Of working
men in this country go over the
bar. Is that trge? If so, how
much are you contributing? IF
oue.third to one half of your
wages goes to the saloon pro-
prietor, you are spending pro-
portionately as much as the
man who spent 5000 a month
Can you afford that?
Keep an expense account for
a month, Figure up how much
you are taking from your wife
and children to give the wife
and children of the saloon-mau.

DRESS WELL.
When the first reports were sent

When the first reports were sent
out of the scrimmage between miners
and imported deputies at the Plum
Run mine, in Southern Ohio, early
last Sunday, IA men were said to have
been shot down. Then the number
of injured quickly dwindled to four,
and later it was announced that no.
body had been shot and that 1t was
sham battle. But for all that the
militia was ordered out by the politi>
clans at Columbus. The cause OF the
trouble was that several miners were
brutally beaten by the imported thugs
of the operators because they refused
to remain the mines, having been
sentation. No matter what disreput-
sentation. No matter what disreput-
able schemes are introduced by the
operators, who have even kept strike
breakers In the mines by force, the
union men seem to be blamed for the

SIMPLY FRIENDS.

Friends are like feminine arms
they're pleasant to have around you.
Many there are who are friendly, but
few who are friends. Never count
your friends before the trouble is
Matched.
A man should have a friend for
every mood, and one friend that can
last through all of them.
A real friend is piece Of peaceful
scenery before whom you can take of
your collar and stand around in your
shirt sleeves. Real friends have more
ears than tongues. ..
Friendship is bark that isn't put
out to sea. When 1t is. it is put out
too easily. Neither is friendship
measured by megaphones. It's some
thing that's not made for the adver-
Using business. He who advertises
for friends loses those he has.
man never really knows himself
until he knows himself as his friends
know him.
He who chooses many friends loses
many.
He who uses his friend as a refrig-
orator for his troubles will find him
self overstocked with ice some day.
For he who troubles his friends with
only his troubles will only have more
troubles, and not more friends.

Editor Folk sDeclare That Such
Action is an Outrage After .
Recent Exposures. a. -.

Eastern and Western papers are
making the welkin ring with denucia-
tons against the packing combine for
raising the price of beef III to 2 cents
per pound to dealers. The editor folks
declare that such action is an outrage
after the recent exposures, and they
fail to see how the hog barons have
the temerity to ARBITRARILY raise prices
at this time.
It II true that under the operation
mand tho cost Of beefsteaks ought to
be lower instead of higher, as the
Afmours and swifts themselves admit
consumption has fallen of enormous
" during the past month, but that is
just whore the monopoly displays its
power.
It not only abolishes natural laws
and man-made statutes, but it turns
about and forces the public to pay for
its amusement for jabbing the harpoon
into the trust
Does anyone believe that the pack
ing combine was formed to arrange
Sunday-school picnics or pink teas?
That band Of modern pirates was
s~o1oAAAOASS pooS

cattle raisers to the bankruptcy line,
while on the other hand advancing

The Armours and Swifts have the

said Carlyle, taking his pipe out of his

pension for Alfred Tennyson?" Mines
tried to explain that there were diff

his constituents, who knew nothing
about Tennyson, would accuse him Of
being concerned in a job We're he to
succeed in getting the desired pension
for the poet. Richard Mines, . replied
the sage, ION the day of judgment
when the Lord asks ye why We didna
get that pension for Alfred Tennyson
it'll no do to lay the blame on youl
constituents. It's you that'll be
