rejoined the tin-can drummer. "The
last time l was there they didn't let
me spend a cent, either"
"So?" queried the other, skeptlcally.
1T Is even so," continued the can
man. "They held me up half square

Numerous inquiries have come into
the office Of the Rhode Island Expert
ment Station regarding the cause Of
the frothy masses on grass and other
herbaceous plants and on shrubs and
trees. Popularity this has been ascrib-
ed to frogs and snakes and named ell
ther frog or snake spittle, as the case
might be. In fact, it is due to a small
insect belonging to the Hemiptera or
true bugs, which live inside the frothy
mass. Commonly these insects are call
ed spittle insects for obvious reasons,
and also frog hOppers, becaue Of their
connection with the frothy mass which
was formerly known as frog spittle, or
because In their broad, squatty ap-
pearance when mature, they resemble
frogs to some extent. 1t is not known
exactly how the frothy mass is pro-
duced, but it is supposed that the in
sect pumps the sap out of the plants,
and in passing it through the alimen-
tary canal mixes air with it to form
small air bubbles. There are quite a
number Of species found at the present
time, some living on grass, others on
shrubs, and also on trees, both ever
green and deciduous. Most Of the spe-
cies have their early or lymph stage
entirely within the protection Of the
frothy mass. When adult, however,
they are found outside in the open air.

Bogus Clover Seed.

The clover seed business is being
closely watched by agents of the De-
partment of Agriculture OF 521 SAM
pies Of red clover obtained in the open
market 116 samples were found to con-
tain seed Of the dodder, five samples
were adulterated with seed of yellow
trifoil, worthless plant, of which the
seed resembles the clover. In fact.
cattle have been made sick by eating
clover mixed with the trifoll plant.
while the dodder plant is a still more
serious pest.

The two pole stacking arrangement

The poles are leaning against the two

W. Adams to a ridiculous
china doll that sat on the
chimney staring fixedly before her.
1T was nearly midnight, aud the house
was still. The Christmas tree stood all
decorated and with the gifts hung
upon it in the library, back of the par
Tor. and Polly had been sitting beside
the fire In her pretty yellow eiGerdown
paJamas. Pajamas were fad that
season among all her girl friends. and
Polly always, as she said. kept right
along with the procession"
Polly was tired. for she had been
busy all that day. They were not rich.
ana SO much of the running devolved
upon Polly. and the three boys were
home from school. and they had two
visitors TO remain till New Years.
one OF them was Archie-it is enough
TO call him just Archie" So. while
Poly braided the heavy mass of rich
brown hair into one long loose plat.
she glanced at the mistletOe aud then
at the sphinxlike face of the Chinese
doll as she said:
Now. Mrs. Ii Hung Chang. what

laughed. half startled, but with new
courage. She took the night light In

Siedlce, Russian Poland, Sept. IL
A Jewish massacre SURPRISING in seri-
BUSINESS all previous ones in this vicin-
ity took place here during the past
forty-eight hours. It was carefully
planned beforehand, the soldiers warn
ing all Of the Christian population in
advance to hang out their ikens so
that they might remain undisturbed.
Saturday night some terrorists killed
two soldiers and thereupon the Libau
regiment broke forth in unrestrained
fury. They began numbering Jews on
every hand and continued the work Of
slaughter all night Saturday night and
all day Sunday.
The CHASTITY work Of numbering and
pillaging continued until an early hour
Monday morning, when Governor Cen
eral Skallon telegraphed for permits
sion to use the artillery. Four bat
teries then opened fire down Pienkna,
Warsaw and Aliena streets, which
were inhabited by thousands Of Jews.
The destruction was horrible. AS a
result Of the general slaughter 1t is
estimated that fully 200 Jews have
been Killed and 1000 wounded. There
IRE 5000 prisoners in custody, great
many of whom are wounded. Not 8
soldier was killed. Squads of soldiers
are parading through the streets sell
ing pillaged watches and jewelry. The
army officers openly oountenanced the
selling of loot. The local governor
Englke, took no steps to prevent the
outrage. The telegraph Offices are
closed and nobody is allowed on the
streets or to leave the town. Tht
refugees continue to crowd the sta
lions. The soldiers are drunk and be
having with extraordinary brutality.
