From the ''Twenty-Third Sans" "

/. My wife is my boss, I shall not
deny.
2. She maketh me to lie down be-
hind the bed when swell company
comes, and she leadeth me behind
her up Main street.
3. She restoreth my pocket-book
after she has spent all it's contents
on hobble skirts and theater tickets,
and she leadeth me up the main
aisle at church for her new. hats
sake.
4. Yea, though I walk more than
half the night through the dark
rooms with a crying baby, will get
no rest, for she is behind me-; her
broom-stick and her hatpin they do
everything but comfort me.
5. She prepareth a cold snack for
me, then maketh a bee line for an
aid society supper. She anointeth my
head with the rolling pin occasion
ally. My arms runneth over with
bundles before she is half done her
shopping.
6. Surely the dressmaker's and
millinery bills shall follow me all the
days of my life and I will dwell in
the house of my wife forever.

GOOD SNAKE STORY.
How a Frog Prevented Snake Eat
ing Him Alive.

The New York World says Thomas
Brown, of Boyd street, Stapleton, and
William Lockman of Sherman street,
New Brighton, both printers, went
for a stroll in the Silver Lake woods
Tuesday morning. They noticed a
commotion in the path ahead. A
three-foot striped adder and a large
bulfrog were engaged in martial
scrap.
The adder was trying to grip the
frog sidewise and swallow 1t whole.
The frog was a master Of strategy.
It had seized in It's mouth six-inch
piece of twig, which it held with the
ends extending on each. side. The
adder could have swallowed the bull
frog, but it could not take In six
inch stick. The frog, its bulging
eyes expanding and its breast heav-
three-foot striped adder and a large
circled, waiting for an opening.
When the combat had lasted an
hour, and the frog was getting worst
ed, the men killed the snake. Lock-
man has the bullfrog alive as a SOU
venir; Brown has the body of the
snake, which he will have stuffed.

WHEN I AM DEAD.

When am dead If men can say
"He helped the world upon its way,
With all his faults of word and deed
Mankind did have some little need
OF what he gave. then In my grave
No greater honor shall I crave.
If they can say-if they but can
"He did his best, he played the man,.
His ways were straight; his soul was
clean;
His failings not unkind and mean,
He loved his fellowmen, and tried
To help them"-I'll be satisfied.
But when I'm gone, If even one
Can weep because my life is done
And feel the world Is something bare
Because I am no longer there;
Call me a knave, my life misspent-
No matter, I shall be content.

Right Man Confesses.

Shreveport, La, Oct. 10.-A writ
ten confession and subsequent arrest
yesterday of William Brown for the
alleged murder of Geo. Hanson of
this city, four years ago, brought to
light unique case of circumstantial
evidence which all but resulted in
the execution of an innocent man
for the killing.
Shortly after the killing of Han
som, pressman, Henry High, an
electrician, was arrested charged
with the killing. Alleged circum-
stantial evidence to the effect that
High and Hanson were in love with
the woman at whose home the kill
ing took place furnished motive
for the crime. When High was first
placed on trial the jury disagreed.
Later circumstantial evidence was
introduced before another jury, and
but for a persistent juror, who stead
fastly clung to his conviction that
High should be found guilty only OF
manslaughter the innocent man
would have been executed. An ap-
peal was taken and the supreme
court held that High was entitled to
another trial. His case, however,
was never tried again, and after
spending several months in Jail he
was released by court officials.
Sheriff Brown yesterday received
from William Brown, former
guard at the State penitentiary, a
letter, which, it is said, contained a
confession of the crime.
Brown is expected to recover, and
in the event that he does it is stated
that he will be tried on the charge Of
killing Hanson.

ODD ALBINO FARM.
Every Animal on Lord Arlington's
Vast Estate is White.

Vast Estate is White.
At Crichel, small village in Dor
setshire, in the south Of England, are
the vast estates of Lord Arlington
famous for his horses, among which
was a winner of the EPSON derby
Lord Arlington, like many Other
wealthy men, has hobby, which
takes the form of collecting and
breeding albino animals. On his es.
tates he has established a white
farm" where every living creature is
pure white. Even Farmer Bartlett
the man in charge, wears a beard
whitened by his rs years.
Crichel is long way from London
az distances go in England, and the
scenery rather monotonous but as the
train approaches Crichel one catches
a glimpse of whitewashed towers
surrounded by dazzling white flag
poles, from which float white
streamers. On nearer approach one
observes that except the blue sky and
the green of the grass plots and
lawns and the shrubbery, everything
there is white, against the dark
background of New Forest. The
buildings, even to the roofs and
chimneys, the fences everything Is
scrupulously white Within is the
most unique of geological gardens
not a bird, fowl, or animal there that
is not pure white.
They have been gathered from all
parts of the world. Hundreds OF
white pigeons and doves fit about
the place. White swans, white tur-
key to his lordship. There are albino
white peafowls from the interior OF
China strut or waddle about the
grass plots. Every white species OF
bird that the tropical regions know
is to be found in the aviary. The
chickens are white, the rabbits are
white, the horses on this particular
farm are white, and there Is a white
mule the gift Of the Sultan Of Tur-
key to his lordship. There are abb
no specimens of the deer family,
white zebrus, white dogs, white
goats, white pigs.
From the Arctic regions there is a
white bear, and so on down to the
diminutive white mouse. Only a
white elephant seems wanting, and
the farm itself would be that to a
less wealthy owner than Lord Arling-
ton.-New York Herald.

The Cotton Caterpillar.

sIn the more Southerly portion OF
the cotton belt the cotton leaf cater
pillar is an ever present pest, and
the adult moth is often found among
traplight material. Every season
NE hear Of sporadic outbreaks over
limited areas. Wide spread out
breaks like the one this season occur
only once in many years.
The full grown moths spend the
winter normally in the Southern
portion of the cotton belt in rank
vegetation and in sheltered wood
land. The death rate is very high,
but the survivors begin laying their
eggs on young cotton in early spring.
Each female lays upwards Of 500
eggs which during the warm portions
OF the summer hatch In to days.
The caterpillars are too well known
to require description. When full
grown each caterpillar crawls into a
folded leaf and there spins cocoon
inside of which it transforms to a
chrysalis from which a full grown
moth emerges. The full grown moth
il Of q dull gray color and flies at
night. They are powerful flyers, it
being recorded that the moths OF the
latter broods fly as far as Canada.
This migration is by degrees; the
adults of each generation flying far
ther North than those of the pre-
ceeding, and towards the end of the
season they occur over the entire cot
ton belt.
The fluctuation in numbers from
year to year is governed no doubt
to q great extent by its natural enc
mics, viz, parasites and insectivorous
birds. Some years ago its principal
egg parasite destroyed 1880 per
cent. of the eggs of the fourth gen.
Grafton in Florida, 80 per cent. OF the
fifth generation, while only about 3
to 4 per cent. of the eggs of the sixth
generation escaped the parasites.
Another species of parasite destroyed
nearly all Of the chrysalide of the
last brood in 1847. Besides these
there are other parasites that prey
upon the worm itself. Considering
this in connection with the work of
insect eating birds, we can see that
in most years this caterpillar is
working against difficulties.
At the present time we are un-
able to rear any parasites at Glenn
son insectary and the worms are un-
usually healthy. This is undoubt-
edly the last generation Of worms
and according to the present outlook
more than the usual number will en-
ter Information. The distribution OF
the caterpillars at present is not in
the area where the greatest numbers
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-10-19

will successfully hibernate, but the
limit of distribution will not be
reached until the latter part OF the
month. It may be expected that
sporadic outbreaks will appear in
different parts of the State during
July, 1912, but there should be lit
tie difficulty in controlling them.
This insect is kept under observa-
ton by the Clemson Entomologists
and reports issued at intervals.

The cotton crop of last year was
12,12O,O95 bales and sold for ST.

crop of 1908 was 13,S25,457 bales

be seen that while the crop of 1908
was 1,7O5,362 bales in excess of the
crop Of 1910 it sold for $685.
390.33 less than the crop of 1910.
