An exchange says a lady went
into a grocery store few days ago
for a peck of apples, taking as she
supposed a freshly Numbered -four
sack. She held the sack while the
clerk poured in the apples. A
singular thing then happened. The
fruit went through the sack and
rolled oyer the floor. On examina-
ton is was found that there were
two holes in the bottom of the bag,
both trimmed with embroidery.
The young man tainted ard the
lady sent a small boy after the
apples-with haskell.

The period of the year has dawn
ed when the teacher puts down the
ferule and the pointer, closes the
books, marks the legal reports and
rises to brief respite, or perhaps
retires to it. There are ruts IN all
the callings. to say nothing of the
''runUs, )" and the teaching profess
sion is not exceptional. But what
ever be the measure of failure or
reward, and whatever be the avOca-
ton, the breathing spell is as neces-
sary as the occupation itself. The
education of the fields and running
streams, annoying gnats and frolic-
some mosquitoes is so much thread
in the wool of life. The pedagogue
needs the refreshing benson of
blue wind stirred skies and cool
flower decked hooks. The hour
for unfettered and beaming exile
is come
Foolish spending is the father Of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of
hard work. Work for the best
salary or wages you can get, but
work for half price rather than BE-
idle. Be your own master and do
not let society or fashion swallow
you ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, coat and
boots. Do not eat up or wear out
all you can earn. Compel your
selfish body to spare something for
profits saved. Be stingy to your
appetites, but merciful to others
necessities. Help others and ask
no help for yourself See that you
are proud, too Let that pride be
of the. right kind. Be too proud to
be lazy;too proud to give up without
conquering every difficulty; too
proud to wear coat you cannot
affort to buy; too proud to be in
company that you cannot keep up
with IN expense; too proud to be
stingy.

soft and creamy white in color. In
few hours, ii is seized with desire to
climb and straightway goes up the
trunk Of a tree, or the side OF fence
or house. The skin hardens rapidly
ana color changes with like celebrity
In very little whiie the back of
the pupae skin cracks and the adult
cicada slowly pulls himself out In all
the glory of adult years. This act
has been likened by some irreverent
person to the process followed by
man in getting out of a shirt slit up
the back. The creature then moves
and leaves a little ghost like pupa
crust clinging with its lifeless legs to
the tree.
One would suppose that having had
such a long preface to his Introduce
ion into this world, that the cicada
was destined to a lengthy life. but
sucb is not the case. the creature en-
ioys its winged existence only five
or six weeks. The female lives a lit
tie longer than the male, but then he
has the advantage and the satisfaction
of having made all the noise while
here While he has been humming his
pretty song to please her, she has been
busying herself laying eggs for the
perpetuation of the species.
Such is the interesting life history
of the periodical cicada. The Same
story applies to the tibecen tredecim
as to the tibecen septendeoim, except
that the former is of the thirteen year
vintage, while the latter is of the sew
enteen year denomination.

visited, according to Acting Chief Mar
latt. Of the United States Bureau OF
entomology, is as follows:
Autauga, Blount Bullock. Cherokee,
Colbert Cullman. Dallas, DeKalb, Ell
more. Etowah. FRANKLIN, Hale. Jack
son. Jefferson, Lamar, Lauderdale.
Lowndes. Macon. Marengo. Mobile,
and st. Clair.
1t will be seen, therefore, that not q
very great part of the state will be
skipped by the cicada. This particular
tribe Is of the thirteen year species.
and is officially known as Brood XIX.
There are several colonies of the crea-
lures and they do not always come at
the same time, for which fact human
ity should lift its voice in loud songs
of thanksgiving.
The cicada Is opposed to race sui
eide. He is great family fellow and
makes 1t point to bring all the chill
dren along when he pays his periodical
visit to man. The fathers of the pres
emit brood were here In 1894. The
grandfathers were with us in 1881. and
the great-grandfathers were in our
midst in 1868, In which same year they
were accompanied by the seventeen
year locusts, and together they made
a record in numbers. giving what was
undoubtedly the greatest show on
earth from the cicada standpoint 1t
is gratifying to note that the scient-
lists have discovered that there will
not be another simultaneously appear
ance of these two immense broods I'M
til the year 20S7. by which stime most
Of us will be accustomed to the creA-
lures. This years brood, however, Is
the biggest of all the thirteen year
cicadas. 1t is not quite as large as
tn enormous 17-year brood that came
down like a wolf on the fold in the
Eastern States in 1902.
The cicada differs from the locust,
with whose name 1t has been SO COM
monty confused, in many material re-
spects. For instance, the locust is q
biting fanimal, while the cicada is a
natural born sucker, feasting upon
juices which it draws into its sys-
tenn through tube-like arrangement.
We are told that the ancient Greeks
used to catch the cicadas and hang
them in cages such as we do canary
birds for the enjoyment of their music.
When they got too cid or too lazy to
sing" the Grecian butcher was called
in and the westive cicada was slaught-
cred for the next days dinner.
Aristotle ate this dish and tex-
pressed the opinion that the pupae was
the most palatable. He said the adult
males Were next in order to tooth
someness, while the females were
passable for food only as last re-
sort.

BIG JANUARY OIL RUN.
Highest in the History of the Mid
continent Field.

Independence. Kan. Feb. 6.-The
January pipe line runs of the midcon-
tinent oil field averaged 75,3S2.42 bar
rels a day, the highest in the history
of the field. In December the daily
average was 6s.792.33 barrels. One
year ago the January daily average
was 47,49O.77 barrels, showing an in
crease of almost 100 per cent in IL
months.
The total runs for last month were
2,337, 164.90 barrels. OF this amount
1,646,090.76 barrels was delivered to
the refineries for consumption. leav-
ing 691,074.14 barrels to be placed in
storage. This raised the amount of
oil now held in tanks in this field on
February 1 to 24,00S, 340.31 barrels
This it must be admitted is an enor-
nous amount of oil.
The consumption of 1nidcontinent oil
is rapidly increasing. During January
it amounted to 53,099.70 barrels a
day A year ago the consumption
reached only 1887 barrels a day. The
result of the high average of daily
runs last month the private stocks in
the lower field are being drawn upon
and when all surplus oil in the field
is taken a very material effect will be
quickly noticeable on the production
of the field. Many private tanks are
now being taken.

TWELVE MILE RIDE
Trouble. But He Had an OBJECT.

We are willing to take trouble to get
things we value.
A Mo. man was so much benefited by
changing from coffee to Postum, that
he was willing to ride about II miles to
get it. His daughter writes:
MY mother, father and myself have
been drinking Postum for two years
and have all been greatly benefited by
it's use.
Before we dropped coffee and began
to use Postum, Mother was poorly
nourished and only weighed .95 lbs. At
ter she used it few weeks she began
to gain in weight and she kept getting
stronger and better until now she
lieve it is due to leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum Food Coffee, because
she has taken no medicine of any kind.
While she drank coffee she was very
nervous, but since using Postum she
has no such trouble.
Father was troubled with indiges-
ton. when he drank coffee, but Postum
has changed all that. He says he likes
the taste of it much better than coffee.
When happen to be visiting and drink
coffee 1 am usually sick few hours,
everything sours on my stomach and

I'VE find there's a big difference in
the way Postum is prepared. 1t should
be boiled properly according to direc-
tions-then its flavor is fine.
