containing a large number of grubs.

to kill the grubs SO that he could use
them for bait.

the grubs, but on opening the oven
door swarm of wasps flew out. The
oven was not hot enough to kill the
grubs, but was sufficiently warm to
hatch them.-London Daily Mail.

through allowing the TRANSMISSION of
own blood into her veins, United

After Senator Lea and his wife
were discharged from the hospital
here as convalescent, they went to

ness has been light in the past
According to Mr.. Bishop the agi-
tation over the tariff is the cause of
the unrest in woolen circles. However,
people have quit considering the sub
ject from partisan standpoint, he
says They are now trying to get
down to an adjustment of the tariff
on economic lines and most people
are ready for an adjustment if an
economic adjustment may be had,
There is much interest in the coming
report of the tariff board on sched-
ue K and he says the commission
has been striving hard to get at the
facts and to submit fair and unbi-
ased report to congress this winter"
During his absence Mr.. Bishop met
with many men prominent in textile
lines and so heard much upon this
subject.
While in New England Mr.. Bishop
purchased some additional machinery
for the Pendleton mill and it will be
used in the manufacture of some lines
not heretofore turned out by the To-
! cal plant.
