and at the same moment that the
mosquito angrily bit him on the right
ear the bee arose in its might and
swatted its stinger into his left ear
up to the handle.
1t was Immediately after that-with-
in one-tenth OF a second-that Uncle
Ashdod saw where a great improve
ment could be made In bees and mos
quitos. He says his ear began to
swell Immediately. but that before II
had swelled enough to notice he had
decided that the rear end of bee
could be greatly modified for the bet
ter. He also says that few men could
think of two things at the same time.
but that at the same moment that he
thought of improving the bee he real
lied that the front end of a mosquito
would be more popular with humanity
IL the stinger wasn't on IL.
So. as soon as he got home, he set
to work thinking how TO improve the
bee and the mosquito. and the more
he thought about II the surer he be-
man to improve both separately and
that the right thing to do would be to
mix the breeds of bees and mos
quitos. He said that the only OBJ
iectionable part of the bee was its
after-deck and rudder, so to speak.
and that the mean part of the mos
quito was its fore-deck and bowsprit.

for these many centuries was a com
bination of the fore-end of the bee and

forming one sweet and useful insect.

strongly urged Uncle Ashdod to fall
for II. saying that Uncle Ashdod had
bunch OF the most biographical look

and that now was the time to be steel
engraved. before the price of steel
went up. But Uncle Ashdod bade him
wait. He told the man from Chicago
that he would gladly uplift Amer
ican literature by contributing his face
and biography, but that he would not
be ready until about potato-digging
time. The fact was that Uncle Ash

Worcester, Mass.-A remarkable as
sertion of the prscticability OF aviation
is embodied in the announcement here
Sunday by Wallace +. Tillinghast, vice
president of Worcester manufacturing
company, who claims TO have secretly
invented, built and tested an aeroplane
capable of carrying three passengers,
and in which, he says, he has flown from
Worcester to New York. thence to Bos-
ton, and then back, a distance Of 900
miles. A speed Of i2O miles an hour
was attained at times. he declares.
The test was made on sept. 5. at night,
according to Mr.. Tillingha-t. who says
he circled the Statute Of Liberty at an
elevation Of 1000 feet. and was seen on
the return trip by coast guard on
Long Island, when flying low, the fact
being recorded in the newspapers at
the time.

JUDGE LURT0N NOMINATED
Tennessee Jurist Will Sit Upon the
Supreme Bench.

Observation-Disclosures Taft Monday
sent to the senate the nomination of
Judge Horace II. Lurton of Tennessee to
be associate justice of the supreme court.
President Taft has removed the op-
position that existed to Judge Lurton's
appointment. Democratic leaders say
the Democrats without exception will
support Judge Lurton. What opposi-
tion remained against Lurton among Re
publicans because of recent decisions on
corporation cases has been smoothed
over. and the confirmation will he made
unanimous.
One Of the reasons that prompted
President Taft in appointing Judge Lur-
ton. and that will cause his welcome by
the supreme court, is Judge Lrton's
familiarity with many of the cases that
are now before the supreme court or are
soon to come. II is believed that Judge
Lurton can take upon himself without
DELAY his share Of the work before the
court and dispatch it. A younger judge,
or one less experienced in the circuit
courts. would require breaking in to
the work, forms and customs of the SUI
preme bench.

manner, and then he put his hand on
the back Of his neck and yelped like a
painful dog. The experiment had
been great success. and one end of
each mosquito was annexed to one
end of each bee, but Uncle Ashdod
had got the wrong ends of them. Each
bisquito had bees stinger on it's
nose and a mosquitoes bitter on its tail.
and they were ambidextrous, as one
might say. They worked something
like see-saw. 4 bisquito could bal.
ance on its legs on tender spot. and
then see-saw up and down. and at
each teeter the stinger on one end
would do its dire work. Ry the time
Uncle Ashdod reached the attic door
the whole production of his bisquito
factory was showing him how IL was
done.
Uncle Ashdod was seen passing
through Main street at about $40
O'Clock accompanied by all the bis.
quitos known TO be in existence. and
he was on the jump. and at every
jump he let forth yell. but at the
speed at which he was travelling the
reporter of the Betzville News could
not tell whether it was a yell of tri.
nmph or a mere expression OF annoy
ance. IL was later learned that he
had no thought at the time of ex.
pressing his triumph. but was simply
hiking for the swimming hole in the
creek.
Three days later the biographer
from Chicago found him there with
only his nose above water while sew
eral hundred bisquitos sat patiently
on log near by. Occasionally a bis.
quito would fly toward Uncle Ashdod
who would then duck and swallow
| quart of creek water. The gentleman
from Chicago mentioned the subject
Of the biographical history to Uncle
Ashdod at the time. but he did not
wait for an answer. II seems that a
bisquito answered him first. He ran
all the way back to Betzville. and the
history was forced to go to press
without even mention of Uncle
Ashdod.
/ By the time we have a heavy frost
Uncle Ashdod's friends hope the bis
quitos will be in comatose condition
and Uncle Ashdod can come out Of
the creek

WOULD REPEAL ARTICLE NINE
Railroads Want Ban Lifted From
Their Monopolies.

Guthrie, Okla.-The filing with the sec
retary of state of petitions containing
over $4,000 names. asking for a repeal of
section ,, article tx, of the state consti-
tuition. marks the beginning of one Of
the most spectacular fights the South.
west has ever witnessed. That article
of the constitution forbids the monopoly
of railroads. No other state in the
Union, il is said. has such a provision
in its constitution, and it is expected
that speakers for the railroads will be
sent here from all parts of the country.
The State Federation of Labor has
come out boldly against the proposition
to repeal the section, and one after an
other members Of the constitutional con
vention. Commercial clubs. assisted by
railroad officials, are leading the fight
for the repeal.
Gov. Haskell probably will call an
election to take place on the regular
November date next year. Every can
didate for state office in the campaign
next year will 60 on record on the repeal

the wolves are sources OF serious los1
to the unfenced and uuhoused fiocks
and herds. In this instance we felt
particularly revengeful because II
was but few days since we had lost
fine yeariing heller. The tracks
on the hillside where the carcass lay
when we found II told the story
plainly. The wolves. two in number,
had crept up close before being dis.
covered. and had then raced down on
the astounded heifer almost before
she could get fairly started. One
brute had hamstrung her with a snap
OF his vise-like jaws. and once down.
she was torn open in twinkling.
No sooner was the sun up than q
warm west wind began to blow in our
faces. The weather had suddenly
changed. and within an hour the snow
was beginning to thaw and to leave
patches of bare ground on the hill
sides. We left our coats with our
horses and struck of on foot for a
group Of high buttes cut up by tho
cedar canyons and gorges. in which
we knew the old bucks loved to lie.
1t was noon before we saw anything
more We lunched at a clear spring
not needing much time. for all we
had to do was to drink draught OF
icy water and MUNICH a strip OF dried
venison. Shortly afterward, as We
were moving along . hillside with ST.
lent caution. we came to a sheer can
yon of which the opposite face was
broken by little lodges grown up with
wind-beaten cedars. As we peeped
over the edge. my companion touched
my arm and pointed silently to one
OF the lodges. and instantly caught
the CLINT Of a bucks horns as he lay
half behind an old tree trunk. A
slight shift of position gave me a
fair shot slanting down between his
shoulders. and though he struggled to
his feet he did not go so yards after
receiving the bullet.
This was all we could carry. Lead
ing the horses around we packed the
buck behind my companions saddle.
and then rode back for the doe. which
put behind mine. But we were not
destined to reach home without a
slight adventure. When we got TO
the river we rode boldly on the ice.
