APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.

In his speeches. in the northern
part of the state Senator LaFollette
has been making a bid for demo
cratic votes for his candidate, Irv-
inc I. Lenroot. He hopes to have
his man selected by the favoritism
of the democrats for his word. 1t
is a strange sight for a republican
senator seeking democratic support.
1t is state of affairs that the poll
ticians of the state deplore. Let the
democrats rally to their man, let
them nominate John Alyward if
they wish, and fight the fight as it
should be, republican aud democrat
ic, not fair-minded democrats and
republicans and democrats.

A Punktown Hosiery
And the Honest Man

I yHEN the stranger with grass

the last room back on the sec

saw what sort Of a stall he was TO be
bedded down in for the night, he
bucked vigorously and said in the most
offensive manner he could summon:
Look at that chair! Liable to fall
down even if l hang my shirt on it.
The wash pitcher is fatally cracked. and
the bowl has a scallOp as big as a sum-
mer squash The carpet is full Of holes
and dirty and so much quicksilver has
been rubbed off the back of the looking

been on there for two long, hard, busy,
dirty years, and the bed looks like q
swayback horse with a thin blanket
over it. If | were to try to sleep on
that bed | would arise in the morning
looking like a waffle. The wall paper
is off in large patches-in fact, it is off
in bunch. The ceiling is cracked, and
yard or so of plastering is liable to
fall and smother me in the landslide
at any moment That table is really
only a one night stand, and you couldn't
write on it if you had two men stand

BY this time the porter was very
tired and angry, so he cried out in his

Do Not Sponge Your Advertising.

There are some merchants who
expect to get little of the business
which Stops over from the merchant
who pushes but who cannot handle
all who see his advertisement.
There are times when people are
stirred up to shop because Of the
advertisement of one particular
firm, and they come into the
shopping district as a result of that
firms invitation or suggestion.
There are many purchases made at
such times that do not go to the one
doing the advertising. There are
many merchants who are content
to profit by the advertising a rival
merchant is doing, but the usual
thing is to insist on each doing his
share to pushfbusiness and trusting
to the good judgment of the pro-
bable customer to take advantage of
the things offered.

CRICKETS SWARM.
UnwelcOme Insects Visit Lancaster in
Large DrOyeS.

Did you ever hear of a seven
year cricket?
The seven-year locust is fable in
song and story but the seven-year
cricket is a reality in Lancaster this
week.
Black stains on many walks
mark the places where the ruthless
foot Of man, or the daintier foot of
woman, has trampled into nothing
ness thousands of these insects. or
slipped as if on banana peel. The
rarity of their visit has not secured
for them welcome reception. And
the imprecatiOns of those whose
duties it is to sweep eff the walks in
front OF places Illuminated at night
by electric light must be added to
the burdens which the seven-year
cricket has to bear.
However, there are enough of
them SO they can stand it. Myriads
perhaps have been killed, but
myriads more are living to blacken
the sidewalks in the evening with
their dusky bodies.
Where did they come from9
What are theyY
How long are they to stay2
Only after some searching could
man be found who would at
tempt to answer these questions.
At length, however, one lay scientist
committed himself so far as to say
that they came from the marshes,
brought here by the rain; that they
came in swarms, would stay about
two weeks, and would then depart.
1t is seven years since Lancaster
has had a similar visitation from
the cricket hordes. To call them
crickets is somewhat misleading for
they are not the ordinary soft
backed kind with whose chirp1ng
everyone is familiar. These insects
have hard shell and so perhaps a
better name than that which has
been used would be the hard shell
cricket, corresponding to the hard
shell crab.
These crickets are not of the musl-
Cal variety Their voices rise not in
announcement of the JOY Of living
in the merry tones of the ordinary
cricket, or III the sombre melan-
cholia OF the pollywog. These
crickets discreetly keep silence, pre-
ferring to make their presence felt
by their numerousness rather than
by an undue amount of noise.
It may be, as one man explained,
that they came down with the RAIN.
But as no one has be discovered,
who felt a cricket drop on his UNI
brella or his hat during the recent
storms, it becomes necessary to be.
lieve that these crlckets are merely
rising out Of the marshy places, and
paying us their septennial call.
