Saved bv a Don.

Attracted by the barking and whln-
ing of a dog on the railway track
near Eddystone, Pa, William Peet fol-
lowed the dog, and was led to a quag-
mire couple Of hundred yards away,
where he found Harry Morrison stuck
in the mud up to his armpits and
gradually sinking. Morrison was res
cued by Peet and couple Of men
who were hailed by the rescuer,
dragged to the top of the bank and
the mud scraped from his clothing.
Morrison said that he attempted to
cross the bog for short cut, missed
bis footing and went GOWN in the mire.
He shouted for help until he was I'M
able to speak, and would have been
buried alive had it not been for the
dogs efforts in his behalf. The
strange part of the story is the fact
that the dog does not belong to Nor
rison, nCr does he know who owns
the animal, as the dog, shepherd,
scampered off just as soon as he saw
that Morrison was safe.

green beetle, about one-fifth OF an
inch long. In the fall these small
green beetles are common objects on
the silk of the corn and the flowers
of the gohen-rod. The spotted beetle
of the southern corn root-worm is fire..
quently found along with the plain
green beetle. The beetles deposit
their tiny eggs in the soil near the
stalks Of corn.
The next year these eggs hatch out
young root-worms which begin to at
tack the corn almost as soon as 1t Is
out of the ground. Throughout the
the summer these northern corn root
worms are at work on the roots, until
the worms become full grown in the
late summer When they become ma
ture they transform to the pupa, or
resting stage, in which stage they
spend a short time. Finally the plain
green beetle energies from this pupa.-
The beetles then deposit their eggs
for another crop Of root-worms for
the next year. AS far as 1t is known
there is but one breed of this form i'm

Preventive measures. Rotation of
crops is the most effectual preventive
of root-worms. The beetles of the
root-worms usually deposit their
eggs in the old infested fields. BY
changing the corn from such field to
another which was not in corn the
preceding year, these eggs are left
behind.
There are two kinds of these
worms; the northern corn worm"
and the southern corn root-worm."
Since the habits of the two are very
different In some essential points,
few further remarks concerning them
are given below. The two are east

HAS COUGAR FOR PASSENGER
Stage Drivers Queer Experience
with Animal In Mountains North
of Spokane, Wash.

Spokane, Wash.-Grant Turnbull, a
stage driver. operating between New
port and Elk, Wash, north OF Spo-
kane, had an experience with a full
grown cougar which he will not forget
for some times.
While driving along the narrow
mountain road near Rogers pass
his horses became frightened and
bolted. The driver managed by sheer
fortune to keep the wheels of the
coach in the ruts, and after the horses
had expended their energy he made
an investigation. Percned in the
rear of the coach was a ferocious
cougar. Before the animal could
spring upon him. Turnbull used the
butt of his heavy whip, but the big
cat leaped over his head and disap-
peared in the timber before he could
infiict the death blow.
Settlers in the northern part of
Spokane county report cougar nu-
merous, but this is the first instance
of a stage driver having one as
passenger. Turnbull claims a new
record for driving a coach from the
point where he discovered the cougar
to Newport.
There is a bounty on the head of
cougar In the state OF Washington.
Tom B. Hopper, a noted bear slayer,
who has killed hundreds OF cougar
and wild cats in this part of the west
during the last twenty-five years. is
organizing a party to make a hunt
there with trained dogs.

easily distinguished from the other
FORM 1t is also somewhat larger than
the plain green beetle, measuring
about quarter Of an inch long. The
black spots are in three rows across
the back of the BEETLE, each row with
four spots. Usually these beetles are
found along with the plain green
beetles on the silks of the corn, but
they are not so common The black
spotted BEETLES are found not only in
the fall, but all through the season
from early spring as well. There.
seems to be at least two broods of
them during the year.
The life history of the southern
corn root-worm is similar to that of
the northern form, except that it is
passed through in a much shorter
time. In the corn fields the eggs are
deposited in the ground near the
stalks.
