GROWTH OF POTATO BUGS.
Farmer Doctors Study Of Their Rapid

DIR. Franklin Pierce Herr, a scientific
farmer of Maryland. is engaged in a
crusade against the potato bug, pest

staple crop, and is strongly advocat-

sion of the bug.
AS money talks, he is demonstrating
that dollar spent this year i'm fighting
the bug saves $40 next year and this
is appealing to the farmers as an easy
way to make money. Lately, the doc

Two weeks ago he noticed two bugs,
a male and female, on one potato
stalk. together with two colonies OF
eggs. He threw a piece of mosquito

they not only heaped encomiums upon
him for his work, but on all sides it was
said that his political career had but
begun and that higher niche in the
temple of fame awaited him.
Practically no discussion will be heard
about the appointment of Senator Dan
ie's successor, as the matter was thor
oughly threshed out last spring, and
politicians agreed that Mr.. Swanson had
earned the Senatorial toga, and the Sc
lection Of him by the Governor would
be approved in all democratic quarters
of the State.

A SERMON IN RHYME.

1t isn't the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
That gives you bit of the heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten;
The letter you did not write;
The flower you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of brothers way;
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much TO say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle winning tones,
Which you had no time nor thought for
With troubles enough of your own.
Those little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind.
Those chances to be angels
Which we poor mortals find;
They come in night and silence,
Each sad, reproachful wrath
When hope is faint and tagging
And child has fallen on faith.
For life is all too short. dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our soul compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you bit of hesrtache
AT the setting of the sun.

THE MANLY MAN.

The world has room for the manly man.
with the spirit of manly cheer;
The world delights in the man who smiles.
when his eyes keep back the tear:
1t loves the man who, when things po
wrong. can take his place and stand
With his face to the fight and his ewes to
the light, and toll with willing
hand;
The manly man is the country's need.
and the moments need. forsooth.
With heart that beats to the pulsine
tread of the lilied leagues of truth:
The world is his. and it waits for him
and 1t leaps to hear the ring
or the blow he strikes and the wheels he
turns and the hammers he dares
to swing;
tiikes the forward look in his face. the
poise of his noble head,
And the onward lunge of his tireless will
and the sweep of his dauntless
tread!
Hurrah for the manly man who comes
with sunlight on his face,
And the strength to do and the will to
dare and the courage to find his
place!
The world delights in the manly man.
and the weak and evil fee.
When the manly man goes forth to hold
his own on land or seal

The Coffee Shrub.

As a rule. the coffee shrub first dow
ers in it's third year and then bears
only small crop OF fruit. The nth
year Is usually the time OF the first
considerable yield. In Java three gath
erings are made annually, called the
"early." the chief and the latter
crop" but only the second is OF great
Importance. The flower enjoys but q
very ephemeral existence. as the set
thing OF the fruit generally takes place
within twenty-four hours, and the pet
ais wither and fall on almost imme-
diately. A coffee estate in full flower
Is a very beautiful sight, but its glory

Will Be Two Primaries.

Senator Daniels death means that
two primaries will beheld next summer.
Senator Martin will go before the peo-
pie in the primaries next summer to ask
reelection at their hands. 1t may be that
he will have opposition. At the same
time Mr.. Swanson will have to face a
primary fight. as there are several men
anxious to make the race with him,
among them being former Governor
Andrew Jackson Montague, Represent
ative Hal Flood. Speaker Byrd and ex-
Governor Hoge Tyler.
1t is believed. however. that Mr..
Swanson will win in the primary and be
elected for the full six year term in
Congress. While the governorship of
Virginia has been regarded as q politi-
cal graveyard. Mr.. SwansOn's service

swanson's Tribute To Daniel.

Senator Daniel was preeminently the
most distinguished Virginian of his gen.
GRAFTON. None excelled him in knowl-
edge of law. His work on Negotiable
Instruments is the best law book since
Judge Story's production. No lawyer
of this day has argued and conducted
successfully more important cases. No
orator of his generation surpasses him.
His OratiOns are classic, both in beauty
of expression and force of thought. For
almost forty years he was the wise.
loved and successful leader of the Vir-
sinia Democracy. For almost twenty
five years he had represented the State
with his rare and distinguished ability
in the United States Congress-. Hewill
be remembered as one of Virginia g
great Senators. He had previously rem
dered great service in the councils OF
the State. He was beautiful writer
and essayist. He attained great dis
tinction in the Civil War for gallantry
and superb quality as a soldier, and in
almost every field OF human endeavor
he successfully labored with distinction.
His character was as strikingiy noble
as his genius was great. Kindly. cOur.
Ieous. the soul Of honor and integrity,
clean and pure, the State never pro
duced q finer example of a Virginia
cavalier. His pure life. public and pri

TEST|M D n !
AGAINST
WOMAN

Before tomorrow night It is the
expectation of the attorneys in
the Kvalshaug trial that the case
will be given over to the jury.
Deputy Prosecutor Burmeister
stated today that he would finish
his rebuttal testimony before ad-
journment this afternoon, after
which the defense will offer some
witnesses in sur-rebuttal. The
arguments will then be delivered.
The state today called several
witnesses in rebuttal. James Shiel,
The chef at the city Jail, told of
how heartily Mrs. Kvalshaug ate
during the first day she was in
the jail. When he asked her how
she was feeling on the morning
after her husband had been kill
ed, Shiel says the woman replied
Fine and dandy"
No Rats in City Jail.
Attorney Kelly asked him II II
were not true that there were a
good many rats in the jail, pre-
sumably with the intention OF
bringing up the possibility that
aats had eaten the food left for
he woman. Shiel declared that
there wasn't single rat in the
jail.
Told Newcomb to "Lay Low,
Mrs. Hattie Geary testified that
while at dance in February last
year, she overheard Mrs. Kvaa-
shaug say to Charles Newcomb,
"You had better lay low now
Newcomb replied that ne would.
Arthur ]. Kitchen, a mail car
rier, was called to fix the time at
which Newcomb left the dance
hall on the night when Kvaishaug
was murdered.

and against going back to the old
scheme, by which poor lamps were
furnished at high price by priv
ate dealers.
From all over the city have
come determined protests against
the city giving up this branch Of
the light business. II the city is
going to furnish light to the peo-
pie, it is argued by the citizens,
it ought to conduct the business
SO it can do it at the lowest pos
sible cost, and not make the bust
ness one to simply feed private
dealers who want chance to
grab something.

tiary and he may have to serve for
life. Prosecutor McMurray will
ask that life term be given him.
Weller showed little concern
when the jury filed in to give
their verdict. He bowed his head
and closed his eyes, as he often
does, and as the verdict was read
he showed no signs of emotion.
As he was being taken to the
jail he said, "That's taken a load
OF my mind"
He is calm today and takes the
matter lightly. He does not seem
anxious that his attorneys secure
"a new trial for him.
