so considerate of her feelings he
never went near her after taking a
drink until he had thoroughly
oyerhauled and deoderized his
breath. Twelve months after they
married, and he saw her down
town, he darted in a screen door
to keep her from seeing him. He
saw her pass by with a big, heavy
bundle, but he never went out and
offered to carry the load. Perhaps
it was because he was already
loaded himself. He usually made
it home for supper and then went
down town on important business.
This is what might be properly
called before and after taking.-Er.
Last night Tuesday,, when the
Sisters of Arcadia returned from.
May DeyQtions they saw a column
of fire bursting forth from one of
the outbuildings. The fire signal
was Immediately given and the
organized Sisters Fire Brigade,
under the direction of the Rev. j.
Adrian, responded at once. The
neighbors and friends from Ar
cadia and Ironton also fastened to
the scene. Not a man, woman or
child but worked efficiently. The
Sisters almost feel repaid for their
loss by the good will shown by all,
and tender their heartfelt gratitude
to those who helped them in the
time of danger. Where all did so
we'll it is scarcely possible to
designate any one in particular,
still the credit of great foresight is
due to DR.. R. w. Gay. Seeing the
fire, and recognizing it to be on
the College grounds, he immedi-
ately hauled out the Ironton fire
engine, attached it to his buggy,
and at a furious rate drove to the
Collage, calling for help on the
way. He and his assistants did
good work with the engine. The
building burned was a new two
story frame, the lower floor of
which was used as a carpenter
shop, machine shop, and carriage
house; the upper floor was used as
a trunk room principally, also a
storage room for paints, etc. The
Sisters consider it very provi-
Dental that they suffered no great
loss. However, the new Be-
thalto Water System, which they
had installed last summer, is a re-
fire service, as was shown
last night. The cost of the build
ing is estimated at $1,000. Not
withstanding the loss, the Sisters
feel the satisfaction of being able
to cope with any danger of fire.
j. N. Stedman, entomologist of
the experiment station, Columbia,
Mo-, issues the following note of
warning: "There will be due in
Missouri this coming spring the
largest brood of the seventeen year
locust, or periodical Cicada, known
in this State. 1t will occur over
the entire wooded portions of the
State except the northwest corner,
and they should make their ap-
pearance in immense numbers by
the latter part of May. The prairie
section will be- exempt. This
brood is one that natures every
thirteen years, but it is the same
species as those which mature
every seventeen years. Those in
sects occur in immense numbers
near timber lands and are liable
to do much damage to newly
planted orchards by puncturing
the limbs to deposit their eggs.
One will therefore be running a
great risk in setting out an orch
ard this spring near timber or
thickly timbered region. 1t would
be advisable before concluding to
set out trees this spring to consult
the older inhabitants in your
region as regards the occurrence
of the locust thirteen years ago in
that locality. The eggs which the
female Cicades depositi in the twigs
of the orchard, forest and shade
trees soon hatch and the young
drop to the ground and enter it,
remaining there and extracting
sap from the roots for either thir-
teen or seventeen years according
to the brood and doing no APP
probable damage during this
time. Spraying common lime
whitewash on the limbs of young
trees tends to keep the Cicades
from depositing their eggs there,
but it is difficult to reach the limbs
and cover them at that seacon be-
cause the leaves catch and hold
the spray. The spraying should
be done, if at all, just before or
just as soon as the egg-laying pro-
cess begins"
