BUGS OVERRUN TOWN.
Lock Haven Has Snakes, loads and
Worms to Burn.

Lock Haven, Pa.-The plaques seem
to have struck the city. Some days
ago a blacksnake was discovered in
the cellar of the Cupper & Nitscha
tobacco house, on Bellefonte avenue,
but it continually eluded its would-be
slayers.
Later a blacksnake, supposedly the
same one, entered the rear door of the
Louis Claster grocery, causing hasty
retreat on the part of the clerk, Miss
Miriam Sykes, who, as might be
imagined was greatly frightened and
fled to the street. His snakeship was
left in full possession for a few min
utes and was then shot.
A large blacksnake got away in the
st. Charles hotel, and was found in
the rolled curtain above the transom
over the door, from which it was dis
lodged and killed.
After the recent rain thousands of
tiny hoptoads appeared on the streets
and sidewalks of the city. They were
especially numerous on Water street,
about the mayors office and attorneys
row.
But a pest far more destructive is
the cutwOrm, which devours vegeta-
ton. 1t is something over an inch in
length and as thick as lead pencil.
The worm remains under the ground
during the daytime, working on the
roots of the plants, and at night
comes forth and devOurs the leaves of
the red beets, beans, cabbage, to-
matoes, potatoes, and even eats holes
into small green tomatoes on the
stalks. 1t is also doing bad work in
many of the tobacco fields.

THE CIGARETTE HABIT.

Shortly after the newspapers print
ed accounts of the cigarettes obituary
the tobacco dealers say they were
flooded with telephone calls from
women, all of whom wanted to know
how much truth there was in the re-
port that the new law was to become
effective. Of course none of the wom-
en- who called up would give their
names or addresses, but the fact that
they called convinced the dealers that
some of the cigarettes that had gone
out over their counters had not been
smoked by the men who took them
away. The dealers say that compare
lively few women purchase their own
cigarettes.
The beauty doctors learn of the CT
gazette habit as it applies to women
by the presence of the odor on their
customers breaths when they visit
the beauty shops. Most of the women
smokers indulge the habit at night,
the beauty doctors say, so that all

TRAMP PROVES A HERO.
Loses Sandwich, Rescues Boys, Gets
$40 and a Suit of Clothes.

Centerville, n. J.-Certainly hero
hero willingly makes. So what greater
hero than a tramp who dropped a
sandwich he was eating and took
bath to save two boys from drowning.
John Phelps, a farmer near here, the
boys grateful father, offered the
tramp a good home and good wages
as farm hand.
Anything" said the tramp, shud
dering, anything but work.
William Phelps, 10 years, and
Charles, II, went swimming in basin
of the Morris canal near their home.
Charles dived. struck his head on a
sunken canal boat, and fioated, nearly
senseless. William jumped to his res
cue Charles seized the brother and
struggle as he might, William could
not free himself The brothers were
sinking the second time when around
a bend of the road jumped the hero
hobo. He was devouring a sandwich
a farmers wife had just given him,
and wondering, probably, where his
next meal was coming from.
Dusty Roads" saw the brothers
writhing and choking in the water
The sandwich fell in the dust, and
without as much as throwing off his
ragged coat, the tramp ran to the
canal, jumped in, and dragged the
boys ashore Mr.. Phelps gave Weary
Willie ten dollars, a suit of clothes, a
hat, and pair of shoes.
Where are you going?" asked Mrs.
Phelps, pityingly, as the tramp took
up his journey.
Nowhere" said he, dreamily.

Miss Mary Matthews, of Baker, Kan,
Ran a Rural Route.

Sabetha, Kan.-Miss Mary Mat
thews, an attractive young girl of Sa-
betha, is a rural mail route carrier
now. Miss Matthews is a daughter of
j. P. Matthews, a rural mail carrier.
Mr.. Matthews has one of the best ru-
raj mail carrier records for prompt
ness in the United States. For two
years he has not had vacation. This
year he took a month off and his
daughter is delivering the mail
Miss Matthews has hardly failed in
an instance to keep up her fathers
record for promptness. Mr. Mat
thews' mail wagon is at the appointed
house ON the appointed moment, with
probably greater regularity than the
average railway train. And Miss Mat
thews has kept this record up. All
along Mr.. Matthews route people go
to their boxes at certain hours and
they invariably find their mail
The fact that Mr. Matthews changes
horses half way on his route, it was
feared, would cause Miss Matthews to
lose time. But it did not. She made
the change in four minutes, which is

Some Members Of New Cult to Be Pun

was compelled to dispense with his
mustache or whiskers until October l,

HaIcyon DAYS.

In the course of an article on "The
Commercial Value of Women" a
writer in the Dietic and Hygienic Mag
azine illustrates point with the fol-
lowing story
Papa" said small boy, what are
halcyon days?'
"S-h-h," answered the father, first
assuring himself that no one was with
in hearing. "Halcyon days, my son,
are the glorious summer days when
your dear mamma is far, far away
from the wicked, noisy city, enjoying
freedom from household cares and
breathing the sweet, pure air she so
much needs"

traces of the weeI may be removed
from their breath before the following
evening. Some of the beauty shops
have operators whose duty 1t is to re-
move cigarette stains from the fingers
of their patrons.
That women smoke cigarettes to no
small extent is proven by the presence
on the counters of the department
stores of complete cigarette smoking
outfits There are dainty little hand
painted ash trays and match boxes;
silver scissors and holders, the latter
designed to prevent the fingers of the
smokers from becoming stained. Also
there are cigarette boxes made espe-
cially to hold the small, tightly rolled
Mexican cigarettes, which are the
kind used largely by women. In one
of the State street stores the young
woman behind the counter in which
these things were displayed said that
business seldom was dull in her de-
partment.
The physicians of Chicago rapidly
are learning that women smoke cigar
cites to to an extent that is none too
good for their health. Some of those
women who have called in a physician
to treat them for certain nervous NAL
aides have been indignant when the
same physician ordered them to give
up cigarettes. Always they deny that
they have used tobacco in any form,
but the doctors say that excessive
cigarette smoking never fails to leave
it's peculiar effect on the heart action,
and that they seldom are deceived by
those who try to make them believe
they never smoke.
Over on the west side are several
especially to women. The brand of
coffin nails" made by them differs
materially from those smoked by men.
They are longer and not so thick. On
one end is a mouthpiece of hardened
paper to prevent the tobacco from
coming in actual contact with the lips.
None OF the downtown dealers could
estimate, in figures, the extent of the
habit. They all agreed that most of
the feminine smokers were women of
the fashionable world and that the
passion for cigarettes is on the in
crease. Because the cigarettes con-
sumed by the women seldom are
bought directly by them there is no
way of telling, the dealers say, just
how many women are taken with the
habit.

Grandma, come tie my shoes"

the latter request to the disregard of
the first command.
Tie up your own shoes, dearie,

boy in the nursery.

brushed away hot tear, for she was
not so hardened to abuse that she
had gotten beyond the sting of it, and
a kind word touched her even more
keenly than the harsh ones.
Mrs. Pringle was a second wife.
The gentle mother of these children
lay sleeping in her grave. She had
died when Rosie was born, and the
grandmother had brought the babe
through the perils of infancy in addi-
ton to her other cares. Martin Prin-
gle had married again, after a decent
interval, a much more snowy and styl-
ish woman than his first wife had
been. In strict justice to her, it must
be confessed that she was a tolerably
kind mother to the children; but the

old lady had dropped from her posi-
ton of householder to that of house
hold drudge under her rule, so natur-
ally that the transition was hardly
noticed in the family.
Fred Pringle, how often have
told you not to come to the table until
your shoes were properly laced"
The son and heir had come in, his
shoe laces dragging behind him.
Grandma wouldn't tie EN- for me.
Mean old thingl"
Your mother is getting crosser ev-
cry day Of her life" Mrs. Pringle
turned to her husband with a re-
proachful air as if he was very much
to blame for being the son of such a
reprehensible mother.
"Grammas back hurted so she
couldn't 'toop down." said little Rosie,
on defensive.
First we know she'll be laid up on
our hands with infammatory rheuma-
tjsm." Mrs. Pringle took new tack
of alarm. Il tell you, Martin Pringle,
there's going to be change in this
family and before long too. l am not
going to be tied down to nursing a
sick old woman, l can tell you that"
We'll, well, I'm in a hurry and
haven't time to ralk about it now"
Mr.. Pringle bolted his food and mum
bled his reply GROSSLY.
Six weeks from that day there was
a poor, decrepit bundle of humanity
sitting detected, in a corner of one
of the great depots of Chicago.
Her eyes were heavy and bleared
with many tears, and she seemed half
dazed, and stunned by the noisy bus
tie about her. A faded old valise
stood at her feet, and she YEARLY
drew a seed cake from a small bag
on her arm, and tried to bite it off
with her toothless gums.
Here, grandmother, have some of
my lunch" said pleasant-faced lady
coming from another seat and sitting
down beside her MY daughter has
put up so much for me | never can
eat it alone, I'm sure" She had been
watching the poor old body for a half
hour past, with a heart oyerfowing
with pity for her evident loneliness.
Thank We kindly, maam," replied
the old lady, taking a tender sand
wich and a soft toothsome piece of
cake from the friendly hand
