Yellow Jackets Fruit Pest.

Yellow jackets are proving great
pest to fruit growers this year in the
territory tributary to Tacoma, Wash.
They first attacked red raspberries In
a ravenous way and then as the mum.
bers increased they began devouring
blackberries. Now they are working
on apples and plums. One man said
he counted nine yellow jackets on q
single plum. It has been suggested
by some that the absence Of flowers
during dry seasons compels the yellow
Jackets to seek their material for food
supply In fruit.

gone.
Left alone on the doorstep, there was
nothing for Sir Towneley to do but
ring and be admitted to the presence
Of his charmer.
She had been sitting ON the sofa (you
could tell that by the valley in the mid
ole Of it), but she got up quickly-as
quickly as one of her proportions could
get up-and gave him a plump hand to
shake as he entered.
He took the pOdgy fingers in his, and
stopped and kissed them. He had an
idea, through reading French novels,
that it was the correct thing to do at
such a crisis.
The lady simpered with pleasure.
"Oh, Sir TOwneley," she said, Il am
so delighted to see you. She looked it,
too.
THE pleasure is mine,' he said lame

another.

suspect he was about to propose? Per

for anything.

MAYOR AND CIRCUS AGENT.

Mississippi Town Turns Out to
Show and Everyone Satisfied.
Talking about the South reminds
me Of the Mayor of a little town down
In Mississippi. One day several years
ago 1 dropped in to see this particular
Mayor. 1 wanted to get some informa-
ton about the town and the crop con-
dition and, incidentally, 1 asked him
the amount of the license.
"'Colonel,' said-we always call a
Mississippi Mayor 'colonep-'how much
do you all charge for a shown

sort of way.
"'What kind of show, sahY
"'Oh,' 1 said a kind Of sort Of ring

Mayor.
"Y-e-e-s,' 1 stammered; l was men
tally wondering how long it would take
to wire the show and get authority to
change the town. The old mans voice
broke in on my reverie.
m-hum-circus, EN-? he was
saying, and menagerie, eh? And side
show, Ell? Well, I'll tell you, captain
(you see he wasn't to be outdone in
courtesy when it came to titles), I'll
tell you. l could, tax you all $50, but
l reckon l can let you off for $40 and a
few complimentaries Fact is, sab, I'm
very partial to circuses-very partial,

STRIKING COSTUMES.

How Our Articles of Attire Are Re-
ceived by Savage Nations.
The manner and occasion of wear
ing the garments Of civilization some
times chosen by savage chieftains and
semi-civiliZed pOtentates have often
proved a source of mirth.
Perhaps the palm for unique com
bination still belongs to that statuesque
Polynesian native who hOnOred a state
function by appearing in a stOvepipe
hat, the rest of his costume consisting
OF postage stamps, abundantly and ar
tistically applied in elegant patterns
over his entire person. Still, other
striking effects have been attained.
Robert P. Sumner who was sent
lately or a mission to Abyssinia, re
lates that, having presented an Ameri-
can flag to Alto Paulos, a hOspitable
official person, far removed from saw
agery, he received this gracious ac-
acknowledgement Of the gift:

thing you could give me. 1t is the
proudest decoration l could possibly
own. | shall ask the emperor for the
right to accept it, as we cannot accept
anything Of this sort without authori-
cation, and he will say yes Then
shall wear it about my shoulders every
feast day"
The tall hats which the Americans
wore at the court of Menelik evoked
much admiration, as indeed tall hats
seem always to do in lands unfamiliar
with their peculiar rigid dignity. One
which a previous traveller had be
slowed upon provincial ruler of the
country had been, they learned, 50
highly appreciated that it was at once
sent to the court jeweler and the brim
encircled with a row of emeralds
When, on breaking camp for the last
time, the party bestowed various arti-
cles of attire on their faithful Abyssin-
ian servants, they found that even pink
bahamas were less thankfully received
than old hats Mr.. Skinner presented
his own hat to Alto Pito, chief mule
teer and general utility man.
"IIe knelt at once, before he could
be prevented" the embarrassed COM
missioner records. "and kissed the
donor on both feet. Then he drew his
snowy white chamma about him,

sword, and strobe forth, with the silk

did not look 1t, either. But 1 am a

help it; he had to. "At this moment

my fancy" If he referred to hers,
there was enough of it to I'LL lots of
things. "There is one adored one who

where the poetry came from. But he

rushed to the conclusion. 1.-THE ques-

"Oh, Sir Towneley," she simpered,
'this is so sudden"
"Not at ALL" he assured her. ITS

"And do you really mean it?"

"Oh. Of course 1 will! !" she cried,

on his knee. MY treasurer" he gasped.
"My own!" she murmured. "You

State Treasruies OVERLOOKING.

Through ingenious methods of taxing
railroads the treasures Of some States
are so swollen that State officers are
puzzled to know what to do with State
funds. New Jerseys receipts from cor
pOratiOns have filled its treasury. Penn.
sylvania had a surplus of $10,000,000
and no debt to speak Of. Back taxes re-
ceived from railroads and the collection
of a war claim of 100000 have en-
abIed Wisconsin to pay extraordinary
expenses, put S643,OOO into the State
treasury and cut the school tax levy in
two.
