Wise to the Tanglefoot.

the folks are we'll and leave the germs
on the food they are about to eat.
The number of marrow escapes l have
had in my life simply could not be
counted, and the tales of my adventures
would fill three books. In the first weeks
of my life l buzzed across the Tanglefoot
swamps many times, but always refused
to land, because l knew that four Of my
sides one of my very own fly babies, had
tried il and had pulled off all their legs
trying to get away again. Several times,
when l was just full of microbes, / fell
into glass of milk or water. but my life
was saved each time when the person to
whom it belonged fished me out and
threw me on the floor. Several of these
people died, but 1 always dried off quickly
and flew away.

BY A C. Ommon House Fly.

So much interest seems to attach to all
of my activities nowadays that I am led
to believe a great many people might like
to read few pages from my life history
If this idea be mere egotism on my part 1
the tale be apropos and interesting l
will feel that my efforts have not been
wasted. / am sure the whole clan of C..
Ommon House Flies will indorse the
truth of my tale.
To begin with L cannot remember much
of my early youth, because then | was
only a wiggler and not a real fly. / did
not get very far away from the refuse
pile. where l was born, but / enjoyed the
company of thousands and thousands of
other maggots, since this refuse pile near
kind Mr.. Jones house was the nursery
for all Of the Mrs. Flies in the neighbor-
hood. l refer to Mr.. Jones as kind be-
cause he left that pile undisturbed dur
ing the infancy of myself and all of my
little brothers and sisters and cousins. If
he had moved our home most of us would
have died. So trust you will understand
why l start my story by giving credit to
the man who kept his yard SO nicely I'M
clean.
l know that it is usual to tell something
about ones parents, but l never saw
mine. I am told that my mother tried to
play possum when small boy with
rubber band wandered near, and she was
spattered to pieces. My father met sad
fate. He drank some sort OF water out
of a saucer and in a few minutes turned
his toes to the daisies. The fly coroner
said he had been poisoned.

Kaufnann's imperous spirit was sunk
so deep in despair that he wrote pit
