RELATED BY OLD SETTLER
Just Little Happening In Which
He and a Big she-Bear
Had Parts.

Senator Boies Penrose, at a dinner
at the Philadelphia club, said of a
movement that he opposed:
1T promises incredible things. In
fact, II makes me think of Jack
Travers of Pike county. Jack is an
old man now. He remembers the time
when bears were as plentiful on the
barren mountains as rattlers still are
Once, when was fishing at Porters
lake, l asked him If he had ever had
any remarkable adventures with
bears.
well, no, SENATOR said the old
man, as he filed his pipe with cut
plug; Il can't say as / ever had much
to do with bears hereabouts. Wunst,
in my sparkin' days, me and a bear

Ideas for Kitchen Shower,

Ask each guest to bring an article
disable in the kitchen. Then the host
ess to make things interesting may
serve salad on tin pie plates, have
bonbons or sailed nuts in individual
huted patty pans and pass Saratoga
chips in an enamel kettle with a
skinner to lift the wiggly chips out.
Use jelly tumblers for water or grape
juice, and the meat course should be
brought in in new roasting pan. The
dessert, preferably some frozen sweet,
may appear in small earthenware
bowls or individual ramekins. Can't
you see just what jolly time this
will be. All extra parcels should be
delivered to the bride elect during the
repast. think party like this should
be at night so as to include the much
neglected bridegroom and his friends.

wounds In the fruit. One OF these is
made by the female to receive the
egg and the other is made by both
sexes in feeding. Both forms Of
wounds are in the shape OF minute
punctures through the skin which ex-
tend to depth of about .04 of an inch
into the flesh of the apple. On the
surface of the fruit the average sized
opening is slightly less than OF of an
Inch across but beneath the skin 1t is
enlarged considerably. Externally
the egg punctures may be distin-
guished from the others by the small
mass of glue-like excrement with
which the opening through the skin Is

sprlnq Party for Children.

1t all depends upon the weather
how much of this party may be car
ried out In the open. 1t is all practical
for the house though, should showers
spill from bright blue sky.
First, tell the children they are to
go out after game and give each one
a little denim hunting bag for the
trophies. which are animal crackers
hidden in every conceivable place, the
crackers to be eaten or taken home,
and to the one who bags the most
animals prize of toy animal may
be given.
Then give each guest a card with
numbers from 1 to Is on and place a
blackboard where all can see it. The
leader or the hostess selects a child
to draw a picture, whispering to him
the animal he is to draw; the guests
write beside the number the name of
the animal they think he is trying to
portray. When 10 animals have been
drawn and guessed collect the cards,
and to the one who has correctly
guessed the most a Noah's ark is
given.
Next have this bird-guessing con-
test: / think it appeared in the
department several years ago or one
similar to it, but 1t goes so we'll with
a party that gladly repeat 1t, as our
readers are continually beseeching

Blue is very prominent among the
foulards, as 1t is everywhere through
out fashions realm. Never has there
been such a season of blue, and the
list of modish blues is long. though,
for that matter there seems to be no
shade of blue which is not worn. Navy
and kindred shades are much worn

sealed. The feeding punctures are left
open. The wounds are so small that
In making a careful examination the
aid OF magnifying lens is necessary.
The fruit may be attacked at any
point on the surface but the pune
lures are found usually most numer-
Gus about the calyx and stem. So far
as could be determined, nearly all the
wounds that are made In sound fruit
occur when the apples are quite small.
The feeding punctures, in cases where
decay does not set In, usually heal
over so that they show only as minute
scars in the ripe fruit. The same Is
true of the egg punctures where the
eggs fail to hatch or where the larvae
die soon after beginning to feed, as Is
often the case. The wounds made by
the weevils are sometimes found and
enlarged by plum curculios and pos
sibly by other insects that feed on
apples. The wounds also form CEN
tiers for the spread of decay.
The larvae that hatch from the eggs
feed on the fruit, forming tortuous
tunnels through the flesh, or, more
often, make large and irregularly
shaped feeding chambers about the
core. The excavations are filed with
dark-colored, granular excrement

The Chief Attraction.

Clothing ceases to be attractive
when 1t becomes mussed and dusty.
Wells are not wearable after the rent
appears. Gloves should be discarded
when they cannot be cleansed and
neatly mended. Shoes do not have to
come to tatters before being honestly
discharged from duty. AS for hats,
every woman knows that her head
covering makes or mars her good
looks. Every housekeeper knows that
neat home is appealing and an I'M
tidy one repelling. We know these
things even when we disregard them.

In making observations on the ex-
tent of injury that was being done TO
apples by the plum and apple cur
culios. during the spring and summer
of 1909. 1t was noticed that another
small snout beetle was present on the
trees and was doing considerable dam
age to the young fruit. The insect
was not recognized at first and speci-
mems were forwarded to the special
lists in Washington who identified them
as belonging to the species whose
technical name Is given above.
The species does not appear to have
attracted attention previously as an
enemy of apples but according to OBJ
servations made by the writer the
habit OF breeding in this fruit seems
SO we'll fixed that the common name
apple weevil" is suggested as being
suitable.
The first instance that came under
our notice, in which apples were at
tackled by this insect, was in June,
1907, when Mr.. w. f.. Rumsey saw
one of the beetles lay it's egg in an
apple growing on the Experiment Sta
tton farm at Morgantown. In the
spring of 1909 Mr.. Rumsey also saw
numerous punctures in young apples
In Berkeley county which he at
tributed to this species. At French
Creek, in Upshur county, the beetles
were abundant on apple trees during
the past summer (1909). and in some
cases almost evarv fruit IN sunanrava

fort to subsist on the juicy, growing
fruit. In apples that cease to grow,
whether they fall to the ground or re-
main as mummies hanging to the
branches, the larvae live, reach full
growth and then pupate within the
fruit.
1t was not determined whether the
wounds of the apple weevil alone are
sufficient to cause the apple to drop or
whether the species is dependent upon
assistance from flngous diseases and
other insects in causing the apples to
come to condition which suits their
requirements in reaching full develop
ment.

berlain Entails Both Danger
and Expense.

Pierre, S. D., April 11.-Whether the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail
way company will be compelled to do
away with its scow ~drawbridge and
wooden piling at Chamberlain and
build q permanent steel structure in
its place, will be determined as the re-
suit of an action brought here in the
supreme court yesterday by Attorney
General Clark, asking for an order to
compel the company to show
why q permanent bridge should not be
constructed.
The Milwaukee company was the
first to bridge the Missouri within the
state of South Dakota, extending it's
Chamberlain line west of the river in
1905. following the close of the last
capital campaign, and at that time
constructing the present temporary
bridge at Chamberlain, which has been
out of commission at each nigh water
period. In addition to it's involving
expensive delay to shippers at such
times, it is also considered that even
at certain periods, when ice is break
ing up, it is a hazardous piece of
architecture. The contention of the
attorney general is that shippers
should not be subjected to more than
ordinary hazard nor to unreasonable
expense through the fault of a COM
mon carrier.

ECCENTRIC BACHELOR LEAVES
AN UNCLAIMED FORTUNE

Madison. S. D., April S.-State's At
torney Urdahl is endeavoring to find the
heirs of Theodore Peterson, an arch
itect and builder, who died recently
in Chicago, where he had passed the
last years of his life. During the early
days he spent much of his time in
South Dakota, and during these pro-
longed visits acquired a valuable farm
in Lake county and business prop-
erty at Madison.
Peterson was a bachelor and was
about 60 years of age at the time
of his death. He was very eccentric
and during a recent visit to Chicago
for the purpose of discovering his
heirs, if possible, States Attorney
Urdahl learned that he had never talk
en- into his confidence any of his ac-
quaintances and that they We're abso-
lutely at sea as to the identity or
whereabouts of his heirs.
He died in a Chicago hospital and
the records there give his birthplace
as Mandal. Norway. States Attorney
Urdahl will continue in charge Of
the estate in Lake county passing it
to probate and will then enter upon
a search for heirs in Norway. He
thinks he will eventually find the
proper persons and bestow the valu-
able property left by Peterson where
1t rightfully belongs.
