The statement that WI Ting-Fang
is going back to Washington recalls a
story that Robertus Love told some
time ago. Robertus was on the staff
of one of the St. Louis papers when
the distinguished celestial visited that
city, and was assigned to interview him
AS usual it was WI who did the inter-
viewing. After a brief fusilade of gem
eral questions he became personal.
Are you married." he gibly ask
ed
mo" replied Robertus.
Why not?
MY salary is too small
Why is it too small?'
II don't know"
Would you marry if they gave you
more salary?"
Yes"
Here the diplomat was called away
and Robertus returned to the office.
Get it," the city editor called to
him.
Yes. But it's largely personal"
That's all right Give us exactly
what the old man said We want it
Characteristic
So Robertus wrote out the conversa-
ton word for word, and it appeared in
the morning paper exactly as he wrote
it.
In the afternoon he was called into
the managing editors room The ar
bitter of reportorial fates and salaries
looked up at him with a decorous grin.
Your salary hereafter" he said
will be so-and-so," and he named a
substantial increase.
And Robertus was married few
days later

and ! am of the opinion that right on
that basis stands the reason for so
many small minds snickering at things
they know nothing of and therefore
do not believe. Roosevelt whose mind
is by no means small laughed when
he heard of wood-chuck making a mud
'splint to bandage its broken leg. Why?
Because he had never seen it done and
did not believe it could be done. A
recent issue of the Illustrated London
News, as conservative a magazine as
you might wish for, contains a full
page picture of certain ants who ac-
tually bite leaves to a shape to initiate
the upper parts of certain other ants
whose bitter taste renders them i'm
mune from attack by animals which
usually feed on ants. In other words
we have ants mimicing the attributes
of others for self protection.
Perhaps you will laugh when l tell
you that there are certain Hawaiians.
and others too, who will not touch a
shark to do it harm, for the reason
that they firmly believe that certain
evil influences will affect them as a re-
suit. Why not? Has not one man
often a great mental influence over
another? Cannot a snake hypnotize a
bird? Is it altogether out of the realm
of the possible for an animal to pos
sess certain influences over a man.
providing of course that man, through
ignorance or otherwise, is sufficiently
susceptible? Don't cry "nature-fake"
until you know enough to be able to
prove the other fellow wrong.

of injury to grain or grasses, etc.
In my experience this spring I like
wise tried to determine how much would
kill the squirrels. To be sure of the
mortality, we dug them out, and did
not rest content with seeing whether
the holes remained closed. This is too
uncertain, as visitors or strays may dig
out holes from the outside
Experiment I. A half tablespoonful,
or two teaspoonfuls to the hole will not
always kill. A large den poisoned with
this amount to each hole, did not kill
every squirrel, since one was found on
his back and gasping. When he was
thrown out into the fresh air, he soon
revived and made an attempt to run
away. Whether he would have died
if not extricated we do not know. He
was about 10 feet from where the poi
son was put in the hole These ex-
periments were made April LIST and End
of this year.
Experiment II. Two teaspoonfuls
were used in another hole, and squir-
digging this runway connected with an
other into which eight tea or two table
spoonfuls were used.
Experiment III. Holes numerous and
close, showing large den. Two doses
of three tablespoonfuls had been put
into two of the holes and the rest closed
firmly. Ten feet from one of the holes
one dead male was found, but no more.
Experiment Nv. Many holes appar-
emily connecting, the nearest six feet,
the farthest fifty feet, were poisoned
with two tablespoonfuls each. Next
day on digging out, many of the run

Though more poisonous to the smaller

Enclosed jar or jug of it in a closed
room could easily cause the death of
the inmates in a short space Of time.
By keeping it well stoppered, and opened
out doors and away from lights or fires,
there is absolutely no danger. l use
the special precaution to pour 1t out
when in the field, on the side of me
away from the wind, more to escape
the sickening odor than from any real
danger.
Take 1t to the field in a common
gallon or two-gallon or can with
snout Have with you bundle Of the
cheapest cotton, bought at the store
or taken from an old unused bed-quilt.
Have with you also a spade or shovel
to fill holes, and a small measure to
tell how much of the liquid you pour
out. An old tablespoon will answer,
but far better is little wine-glass
marked off into teaspoons" and table
spoons" which can be purchased at
almost any druggists. By using this
none is wasted and you can tell with
exactness how much you wish to en-
into the glass; pour it INTO a handful of
the cotton just large enough to prevent
the running through and loss of the
rather costly liquid, stuff it down into
a squirrel hole, throw on two shovels of
earth tramping each tight, fill up the
other connecting holes IN the same way,
and every squirrel in the den will soon
be dead.
In my experience I tried to determine
whether it were better to use small
amount in each hole or a larger amount
in one hole but the results were in
conclusive as wherever the squirrels
were found they were dead. Both ways
have their advantages. If you poison
only one hole, you are not sure that all
the holes you close thinking they con-
meet with this one really do connect,
and you may have to go over the field
two or three times before you get them
all. On the other hand, Of course, much
more time is consumed in putting the
poison in, say, four holes of the run
way than in one, and is unnecessary If
they connect I depend much upon my
judgment of whether there is a den
or not, to which conclusion many things
lead you, such as nearness of holes,
size of holes. lay Of the ground, amount
