The Printers Devil.

The familiar term printer S
devil, - as applied to the boy of
all work about the printing Office
is said by the Fourth Estate to
have originated with Aldus Ma
nutius. He employed small ne
gro boy, curiosity in those days
in Europe, who became known as
the Little Black Devil, F" Printing
was then a mystery and supersti-
ton spread that Aldus was invok-
ing the black art and that the ne
gro boy was the embodiment of
Satan. To correct this opinion
Aldus publicly exhibited the black
boy and declared: Be it known
to Venice that I, Aldus Manutius,
printer to the holy church and to
the doge have this day made public
exposure to the printers devil.
All those who think he is not flesh
and blood may come and pinch

GOODE BYE Mr.. WEEvlL.
Louisiana Pest Commission Outlines Plan
for Exterminating the Boil WceviI.


A recent New Orleans dispatch
says:
The State Crop Pest Commission
has issued an important circular to
farmers and to cotton growers of
this State, in which it is declared
that boil weevil determination is
possible in Louisiana. provided the
campaign is conducted on proper
lines. 1t is declared that climatic
and meteorological conditions, in
>conjunction with early fall destruc-
ton of cotton plants. will bring
about the desired end.
AT present, says the bulletin,
the weevil is not sufficiently abun-
dant in more than one-thirtieth of
the cotton producing area of Louis
lana for its destructiveness to be
fully realized by the planters. Yet,
within one year, or two years at
the most, the insect will have
reached its maximum abundance in
fully one-ffth of the cotton grow
ing area.
We are rapidly approaching the
thick of the fight, the fight from
which either the boil weevil or the
Louisiana cotton planter will
emerge victorious. The work of
the coming two years will tell. "
Three lines of battle are laid
down by the commission to be fol-
lowed:
1. Preventing, so far as possible,
the spread of the boil weevil to
new territory.
2. Reducing the weevil damage
in territory already infested by dis
seminating information regarding
the cultural methods to be employ
ed in producing profitable crops of
cotton in defiance of the weevil,
and by experimental and demon
stration work with the cultural
methods upon different soils and
under different conditions.
3. Investigating and disseminat
ing information regarding insects
other than the boil weevil, in
order that the production of crops
other than cotton may be rendered
more profitable than heretofore,
and the adoption of diversified
system of farming to be encourag
ed among the farmers in the weevil
territory.

Her many friends regret very
much her leaving and hope to some
day again welcome her to our city.
Mrs H. T. McCabe, of Rosen-
burg, who has been visiting srela-
tives and friends in Brownsville
and Matamoros for several weeks,
left for. her home this morning.
She is a native of Brownsville but
had not visited this place for four
teen years.
Gus. L. Kowalski left this morn
ing for Cuero, where he goes to

of his eyes failing, and his friends
hope his present visit will result in

The Magical "0O.

A Wilkesbarre man, through
threat of divorce, secured from his
wife a signed pledge to keep quier
and not disturb him in his sleep.
or when he is awake, and annoy
him by mourning or starting law
suits while in all angry mood. And
further 1 swear that 1 will love and
obey my husband and cherish my
home for a period of SO years,
1t was the threat of divorce did
it-so the dispatches say. But no
one who knows human nature. and
particularly woman nature, will
for an instant believe it.
The lover finds it easy to secure
any conceivable vows and promises
from his sweetheart. She will gra-
tuitously food him with them, as
spring freshets food the grass.
But after she has been his wife
long enough to have worn off of
him the veneer which her romantic
fancy had given him and she sees
the common clay of which he is
made, it is different.
The husband who by threats or
other means can extract a pledge
from his wife is a distinguished
diplomat and exceeding rare.
The Wilkesbarre man is in this
class. Note his wife's pledge care
fully and see that it ends with the
magical figures 49," which no
woman ever yet had power to re-
sist.
Had the husband demanded a
pledge for 20 years he would have
been told to go to. Had he made it
100 she would have called him
crazy. In either case his threat of
divorce would have been laughed
to scorn.
But this husband had not lived
with a woman for many years with
