young Washingtonian had all the better
of the argument. Both were sparing

the sixth Washington opened on the
Slowtown southpaw and when the
smoke cleared away, enc run was down
to the Senatorial credit. The Philadel-
phians evened matters in the eighth by
means of two hits and a long fly. The
ninth was uneventful, but in the tenth,
after retiring the Athletics without
damage, Washington put a run across
the plate, winning, to 1.

GREEN BUG in SOUTH DAKOTA
Pest u Found IN Some Fields Near
Huron

Pest u Found IN Some Fields Near
Huron.
Tho reported existence in wheat
fields In this, Beadle. county OF what
Is termed the green bug" is confirm
ed, but there is no immediate cause
for alarm. J. H. Windherst of Huron
and r. b. Logan of the Logan Grain
Company Of Kansas City drove into
the country adjacent to Huron on a
crop inspection tour They. inspected
twelve fields OF growing grain in
quest of the green bug that has
caused such wholesale destruction to
growing crops in Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. The bug
was found In four fields, two each of
wheat and oats, though not in large
numbers. The bugs were widely scat;
tered in the fields and had apparently
done no damage, though some of the
fields examined, especially oats, were
injured by frost. The green bug" has
been found by Mr.. Logan in Sanborn
and Yankton counties, but, as in
Beadle, In limited numbers only. He
has made a study OF this pest, having
commenced his Investigations last
March In Texas, where the first dam
age was done in February.
This bug accomplishes its work of

manner as the chinch bug. 1t Is the
young ones that do the damage. They
are green, with dark green stripe
down the back. and is sometimes
necessary to use magnifying glass to
find them on the plant. They multiply
with amazing .rapidity, reaching the
fourth generation In twenty-four
hours. 1t has been discovered that
wherever the bug appears it is ac-
companied by parasitical insect
that kills 1t in great numbers.
The green bug" made its appear
year It did very heasy damage and
was not seen again until this year.
Mr.. Logan states that 40 per cent of
the Kansas crop has been destroyed.
Crops there, he states, are as back
ward as In South Dakota. at least
month late.
AS to the crop situation, Mr.. Wind
herst takes very hopeful view. In
his opinion there is no reason to fear
any considerable damage to small
grain this year by the green bug"
While the crop Is late, the ground Is
IN good condition, and will put it be-
yOnd the reach OF this insect pest.

knowledge of conditions In Beadle

convince her husband of her fidelity,
Mrs. Frank McWilliams. bride of
six weeks, shot herself through the
head and died before assistance
reached her. The tragedy occurred
at the camp of Robaix, ten miles from
Deadwood.
The dead woman had been married

asserted that the divorce was illegal.
The woman feared to show this letter
to her husband, and when he demand

could not live without his confidence.
She also inclosed the letter which she

WHAT ROBERT SAW.

Robert was ILL., He had found that
wet feet sometimes bring unexpected
consequences. This time he had
walked through the cutters on his
way to school, and then sat all the
afternoon in wet shoes, and so in
stead of going to grandma's for a
visit he went to bed
The days had been quite tedious,
and when he began to sit up there
was not much that amused him.
Mamma drew his couch up by the
window, that he might look out and
see the boys going to school. AS he
sat there he saw a bird fluttering
about the gutter that ran by the bay
window. The birds had begun some
time ago to make the journey south,
and so he was surprised that this
nest was not vacant. He watched the
bird and saw that he carried some
thing in his mouth each time. 1t
was first a worm, then a bit of bread
crumb from the dooryard.
Robert called his mother to come
and see the little fellow. working
away so happily and briskly. Mamma
was as surprised as Robert, and af-
ter studying the birds comings and
goings for while she decided to call
the gardener and have him investi-
gate the matter.
The man put a ladder against the
window and went up to the nest.
Mamma had wrapped a blanket about
Robert, and now she opened the win
dow that he might see what the gar
dener had found.
In some strange way the birds
mate had become entagled in a string
that had unwound from the nest and
which had been part of its founda-
ton, and was so tied by the leg that
1T was impossible to get away. She
had picked at the string and made
her leg sore, but the knot was too
strong for her. The gardener gently
took up the nest in his hand and
brought it down on a level with Rob
ert, and then began to unwind the
threads that held the bird a prisoner.
Her mate flashed back and forth, but
did not act dismayed. He even
seemed to know that help had come
1t took but a few minutes to free
the tangle, and then the man carried
the nest back. Hardly had he done
so than away flew the bird, and the
first place she touched was the little
pond in the garden. for she had been
without water so long.
She circled about the water, taking
dip now and then Presently the
mate sailed by, and together, like two
children, they set off over the hills
and away toward the south.
Il am sorry l disobeyed mamma
about the CUTTERS" said Robert, as
he watched the pair sail fway, but
If had not been sick we should not
have known about the bird, so there
was some good came out of it.
wonder if they will come back again
in the spring."
He never knew whether they did
or not, but he tried to make himself
think that the birds which came to
the nest in the gutter were the same.
Perhaps they were, for as he watched
them they seemed to be happy in the
old nest.-Youth's Companion.

The Origin of Pearls.

Three principal hypothesis have
been offered to account for the origin
of pearls. According to one, they
arise from secretions caused by the
presence of some foreign object, such
as grain of sand, within the shell
of the oyster. But it has been shown
that fine pearls are not thus pro-
duced, but only pearly concretions
Another theory is that pearls are
the result Of disease in the oyster
The third hypothesis, sustained by
NJ. Seurat, of the Oceangraphic Mu-
scum of Monaco, is that the origin
Of pearls is to be ascribed to the
presence of a parasite. The species
of parasite differs with the species
of oyster, but this mode of origin,
M. Seurat believes, is general with
all fine pearls. To restore the lustre
of dead" pearl the outer furnished
envelopes may be removed with
acids. Thus the effect produced upon
furnished pearl by causing fowl
to swallow it is accounted for by the
dissolvent action of the gastric juice
