Within Is minutes Floyd. with the
aid of the telephone, had located Tony
the Tout, and in another half hour
that wise bug of the turf had arrived
at Floyd's rooms, wondering for what
he was wanted, and pleased all over to
be summoned into the presence OF so
august parsonage.
To Tony Floyd told the proposition
of Camp as Hopkins had told it to
him, and upon hearing the proposition
Tony let out a long laugh.
why, it's just a plain game of
double cross" asserted Tony. He'll
break the book and get your $4,000
in one race and then tell you it was all
a mistake and make you believe it,
and then he'll ask you to dig up anoth-
er $4,000 to get even with. Why, my
kid brother wouldn't bite on that old

HARMFUL BROWN-TAIL MOTH
In Addition to Injury 1t Does to the
Trees II Carries Disease
Germs.

There is but one generation Of the
brown-tail moth annually in New
England The insect winters as a
tiny larva or caterpillar within a
web or nest made of silk ana leaves
woven together tightly. The nests
will vary in size usually from three
to four inches in length and will con-
tain 200 or more caterpillars.
These nests are securely attached
to the tips of trees or plants on which
the caterpillars were working before
Information.
In early spring, as soon as the buds
of fruit and shade trees appear, &C.
cording to Howard, these one-fourth
grown caterpillars emerge from their
winter quarters and Immediately COM
mence feeding upon the buds and
blossoms and later the foliage. The
young caterpillar is of blackish
color and covered with very small
hairs. The full-grown larva is about
two inches long, reddish brown in
color, with broken white stripe on
each side and two red dots in the
back near the hind end. The body
Is covered with numerous tubercles
bearing long barbed hairs. The tuber-
cles along the back and sides OF the
abdomen are thickly covered with

short brown hairs in addition to the
long ones.
The full-grown larva changes to a
pupa within cocoon which it pre-
viously makes with silk and leaves
These cocoons may be in groups or
singly in some secluded spots or at
the tips of branches of trees on
which they have fed. The cocoon is
so loosely made that the pupa may be
seen through it.
Tha moths of both sexes are pure
white with the exception Of the aldo
men, which is dark brown. The tip
of the abdomen of both sexes, more
pronounced in the female, bears a
small tuft of brown hairs, from which
the insect gets it's name. The female
moth has an expanse of about one and
one-half inches while the male is
somewhat smaller. The moths are
strong fiiers and are readily attracted
to lights.
In addition to the severe injury that
this pest will do to fruit, shade and
forest trees, and the consequent cost
of fighting it, there is another feature
connected with it's pr asence that is
very troublesome, if not alarming,
that is, danger to the health Of
people,
The larva or caterpillar bears tiny
hairs which are barbed and when the
insect molts these hairs are shed
with the skin. Upon drying, these
skins and hairs float about in the air
and are source of constant trouble
to persons living in an infested dis
trict When the caterpillars' skins, or
the skin they cause a severe irrita-
ton. A large part of the popular
feeling in New England that the
brown-tail moth must be exterminated
is due quite as much to the preva-
lence and annoyance of this rash as
work of the caterpillar.
With this pest undoubtedly the
easiest and practically the only effec-
tive means of artificial control where
established is by cutting off the over
wintering nests during the late fall
winter or early spring and destroying
the tiny larvae within This, of course,
can be supplemented by spraying with
an arSenical mixture, when the larvae
appear on the foliage in spring.

Dear Tom, as sure as you are
bound to die, so sure as you going
to get it in the neck, and lots of
trouble, too, for the shoW-up Of the
Foreign Missionary business lately.
For, Tom, the representatives of the
church stoned the prophets of old,
crucified the Christ, and prosecuted
those who differed from them, and
you are no better than they who were
prosecuted, and they are made of the
same clay. &c. look out, for you have
stirred up the ire of this class of
people and you will hear from them
sure.
Tom, you are doing world of
good in showing up the wrongs of
both church and devil, for we are
now badly in need of men with the
courage and ability to show up the

THE FOREIGN MISSION CRAZE.

Dear Sir:-I enclose some clip
pings from Texas Christian Advo-
cate relative to collections for mis-
sions. You are aware Texas people
have had drought that has visited
almost every section of our State
and many will this year suffer be-
cause of a lack of money to buy
the necessaries of life and comfort
Amidst these conditions we find our
ought-to-be public benefactors urg-
ing their sub-agents to work hard
and collect closely the pledges they
obtained by persuasion when times
we're more promising. Many people
will be persuaded to give away their
small change when their just debts
will go unpaid and their families in
want
I think you have been doing one
of the greatest works of your life
in exposing this graft. Certainly
you have made friends where you
mad none before, and I seriously
doubt if you have lost any unless it
be some of those who have been in
this missionary grating business.

ABOUT RIDING ASTRIDE.

lished in your paper that represent
ative Wright, of Georgia, had in
troduced in the Legislature bill
providing a penalty for any woman
who rides astride horse.
For what reason or purpose does
he wish to stop women riding astride
a horse?
Riding astride is far the safest
way, besides the most comfortable,
becoming and graceful. Accidents are
frequent to women misunderstanding
upon the side-saddle. 1t was the
common way in old times for women
to ride astride. The Indian women
have always done so and are as
expert riders as the men.
In all countries where the travel
is dangerous or mountainous, wom-
en- ride astride for comfort and safe
ty. Then why should Mr.. Wright
try to stop the growing fashion of
riding astride?
My father, Jonathan Gilmore,
taught school at MilledgeVille, Ca,
from 1900 until 1910, and my best
wishes have always been for the peo-
pie of Georgia
JESSE GILMORE.
San Diego, Cal, Sept. 8, 1909.
The bill was given no legislative
consideration. Commenting upon the
history of the saddle, Jefferson Jack
son, editor National Harness Review,
Chicago, writes:
cit is said that the Queen of Rich
ard II of England, known as Anne
of Bohemia, invented the side-sad-
die. 1t is claimed that on account
of deformed hip she wanted sad
die of this kind in order to make a
good appearance while riding. This
was about 1888. This tale has Of
ten been cOntradicted by other au-
thorities, and so you may take it for
what it is worth.
cit is quite plain to me that the
side-saddle is merely the pillion in
another and simpler form. Looking
at old prints and fragments of har-
ness which have come down to us;
we can trace the development of the
side-saddle. 1t did not come into
fashion until late in the fifteenth
century, when it still was a modified
pillion, a great construction of iron,
wood and leather, padded, pilloWed
and decorated. You will have to
come down to the eighteenth century
before you find the side-saddle in
anything like it's present form.
"The ladies astride saddle is
growing in favor in all parts of this
country Many ladies affirm that
the old side-saddle is out of date,
unsafe and not to be used by the
notwithstanding woman. In my
boyhood days the girls on the farm
never used the side-saddle, and rode
astride the same as the boys, and
often without any saddle at all.
Here in Chicago the astride sad
die is used by many of our 400. On
an afternoon in Lincoln Park the
bridlepaths are largely used by
women riding in man fashion.
