NEW PREVENTATIVE FOR MOSOUITOE

J. 7. Leonard, of Taylor's Island,
Nd, sends the following to the Balti-
more Sun, and the remedy for getting
rid of these troublesome pests is such
a simple one that we publish it in the
hope of furthering a good cause:
''The papers of late have been full
of discussions as to the best means of
getting rid of mosquitoes. 1 have
discovered and used with complete
success a remedy which 1 feel bound
to make known to the public Set fire
to the end of piece of old manila rope
and hang it up where mosquitoes come.
1t will burn slowly. the smoke is not
at all offensive and it will effectually
keep off those disagreeable aud dan
gerous pets. The very simplicity of
this preventative may cause some to
question it's efficacy, but 1 can from
experience assure all who will try it
that they will be abundautly satisfied
and will thank the writer for making
them acquainted with a good thing"

too much wind that makes a cautions

Monday of Attorney James W. Lat

acting as turnkey, was the officer who
caused the well-kncwn lawyer his few
moments of discontinue. The patrol
man did not know the attorney, and
when the latter came down stairs from

who was locked up, the blue coat,
thinking Mr.. LAttomus a prisoner,
promptly placed him in the same
corridor with number of prisoners,
including several who had imbibed too
freely the night before. Explanations,
Of course, soon followed, and Mr.. Lat
tomus was released. He then con-
yersed with his client under more
