BUSHELS OF BUGS GATHERED.

Gardeners Are Up Against 1t just
Now. Insects Are Death Proof.
The quantity of potato bugs picked
from vines in Americas gardens to
date would fill a box car, and the
picking of them is still daily pastime
with dozens of them.
The bugs are fattening on paris
green, cedar tea, tobacco cocktails
and other summer drinks served them,
and their tribes increase in amazing
degrees. Already the bugs have
chewed up several acres of vines, and
it is only in occasional instances that
they have been annihilated or put to
fight. Such are the ravages of the
bug here that this spring many gar
deners declined to plant potatoes at
all rather than see the crop destroyed
later by insects. Times

Mrs. WiIIiamson's Gift to Columbia.

Mrs Marie II. Willis mson has given
$4,000 to the department Of arts Of
Columbia university, New York city.
The donation was presented with a
string to it, so to speak. 1t hinged on
the condition that the university au-
thorities should abolish the game Of
football, which to Mrs. Williamson's
mind is wholly brutal and unfit to be
INDUCED in by civilized students. Mrs.
Williamson devotes her gift to the en-
dowment of a chair or lectureship ION
the origin and development of civiliza-
ton among men" She was decidedly
of the opinion that civilization would
be advanced by the adjustment Of
college football.

men who by their very presence held
in check the lawless element that
haunts new settlements. They endur-
ed every hardship that white men pio-

idle Indian ever did. Yet now these
