mule and musing to himself
as to where he will get the next
bottle of bug juice" the wood
tick laughs sort of low, villinous
laugh and lands under his collar.
The unfortunate does not die
Immediately. He may live 80
years or more but his life IS a
burden to him. He feels lousy.
He digs at his epidermus and
curses blue oaths audibly above
his breath. But the wood tick
wakes fat. At times he crawls
up and tickles you under the col
lar. Then when you try to catch
him he crawls down your spinal
column. .plunges down your pants
leg and secretes himself in your
sock. You determine to take off
your shoes and exteTminate the
cuss. But he escapes up your
pants leg again. In a frenzy
you divest yourself of your pant
aIoons. etc.. and while you are
searching them for the wood
tick, you feel him crawling up
your shirt tail.
But of course there is a limit
to his career. You may actually
catch him and by hammering
him severely upon an anvil you
may disable him from active ser
vice, but there are myriads OF
his kind who will carry on the
work he has left unfinished.
Wood ticks are especially fonG
of women. Women's clothing
affords them a chance to clint
up and delights them so they ars
said to never cease crawling.
1t is customary with the wood
tick, after prospecting your per
son for a week or so, to sink /
hole on you in some chosen spot
or rather bore in with his screw
shape bill, He works on thu
principle of a screw and can b.
extracted without pain if un
screwed carefully. Turning t.
the right always tightens {
screw; always turn the wood ticl
to the left He will unscrew j
you touch a match to his tail o
pour on turpentine.
The wood tick is fat and abou
the size of a large freckle unit
he gets a chance to fill, afte
which he is as large as Social
bre slug.

Another crew of G.. & p. rail-

last Saturday afternoon. 1t is
learned that they are running
over the survey between Salmon
City and Challis, and endeavor-
ing to cut out all the bridges
possible. At a point below the
mouth of Pahsamaroi river, it is
said they intend to change the
channel of Salmon river, which
can be accomplished quite easily
and it would cut out two big
bridges, which would cost al
least 800, 900. 1t is also report
ed that they will change the sur
vey in this valley and bring i,
up on the bar near town. thus
avoiding the bottOmless swamps

Government Insurance

From the latest reports it would ap-
pear that the Canadian government has
gone into the life insurance business.
To every citizen who will pay to it $50
a year from the age OF 20 to the age Of
so, it guarantees yearly income Of
5000 a year for the rest of his life.
This means that an investment OF
$4,000 viii yield S per cent interest on
s12, 900 from the time man reaches
the age of so until he dies. This offer,
as we'll as many others OF smaller
amounts, is made in accordance with
the government annuity law passed last
year. This is a form of government
insurance which appeals more to the
self-respecting workingman than the
old-age pension plan recently adopted
by England.-Trade Register.
