A TIGER FLOWER

THERE have recently been exhibited in
L Paris some living specimens of a curious
insect brought from Rangoon by a well
known French naturalist. 1t is a species of
mantis, and its body and legs are both shaped
and colored to resemble beautiful flower.
Lying in wait for butterflies under a spray
of leaves, it looks like an azure blossom,
with black spot in the center exactly re-
sembling the tube of corolla. The hinder
part of the body is drawn put into long
green stalk. But :arf1ies and other insects
are readily deceive by this mimic, and the
instant they touch IL it's claws seize them.

The old man went in and waited for ten
or fifteen minutes. His eyes bulged out
when Secretary Knox came in, took his seat
at the desk, and said:
"The Secretary is in good humor today.

SECRETARY KNOX is an expert pool

EDWIN GOULD says that when he was
- little boy his father took him on an
excursion into the country. The father
several times cautioned him against leaning
his head so far out of the car window. Little
Edwin wanted to know why, and his father
told him that his hat might blow off. The
youngster then damned his hat down on his
head and said:
"Now it can't blow off,"
Put suddenly the hat blew of, and the
little fellow was disconsolate. His father
lad snatched it off and hidden it behind him.
But when Edwin began to cry and sob, his
father said:
"There it comes!" and then began to
whistle.
The little fellow looked out of the window,
and suddenly his hat was slipped upon his
head.

thought that my wonderful daddy had
whistled and performed a miracle for me.

"Now, Daddy, whistle it back again.

CAPTAIN CHARLES ANGUS, life saver
~ at Pelham Bay, says that he has a
Cousin George who is the greatest diplo-
natist he has ever known. He practises
diplomacy in all things.
For example, when Cousin George be-
came father of little baby, he did every
thing that he could to make the baby well
come and the mother happy. But he was
startled one day when his wife told him that
she was going to have the baby christened
Emily"
That was a name that Cousin George
detested; but he did not tell his wife so.
On the contrary he said, THAT is good.

sweetheart. She will talei as a great COM

GEORGE ABE was out walking with

served great procession approaching, and
he paused while it passed. The people wore
gay apparel and carried banners with Jap
anese inscriptions. Their faces were grave.
They were mournfully chanting to the &C
compartment of tomtoms, cymbals, and
drums. 1t was long procession. AIDE took
off his hat with due respect to the unknown
dead. Finally he turned to his guide and
asked:
"Buddha?"
The guide shook his head.
"Shinto?" inquired AIDE.
Again the guide shook his head.
"Was not that funeral procession?"
asked AIDE.
"No," said the guide. 1That's way of

HARPER BLAMES SMALL
VOTE AND OTHER INFLUENCES
Says He Could Have Carried Certain
Precincts BY "Putting Up
the Price,"

Aid. John Harpfer, of the Eighth
ward, attributed his failure to land the
Republican nomination for county
auditor to the activity of the county
building machine, the light vote and
to "other influences" with the loud
pedal on the last named.
Several people told me could have
certain precincts on the east side u

Aid. Harpfer, Thursday. Il refused
to put up any money for votes, and l
noticed that those precincts were car
ried by another candidate. / am not
saying that the same proposition was
put up TO some one else with better
success, but ! do know that / turned
IL down, with the result that I re-
ceived small vote In those particular
precincts.

ward turned out In goodly numbers
and his showing here was great per-
sonal triumph. He received about 460
more votes in this ward than Buhrer
and Bleil together.

That machine methods still DOM
mate Wayne~county politics is clear
ly shown by the results OF Wednes-
days primary. Through the combined
efforts of the ID. p. w. machine and
William s. Dever's organization, ex.
Mayor George p. Codd leads the Re-
publican ticket In the race for the
judicial nominations. This result was
predicted by the city hall politicians
eeveral days ago. Another factor In
Codd's victory was that of all the nine
candidates for the nominations he was
the best known to the electors The
light vote also favored his chances.
All the present Republican judges
were re-nominated. Prosecutor Philip
T. Van Zile ran second and looks like
a sure winner In the April election.
Justice OF the Peace Louis OFT has the
fifth place on the ticket. Hugh Shep-
herd, president of the Wayne County
Republican club, ran a poor seventh.
while Proctor X. Owens and George
Coomer brought up the rear.

KILL JOKERS IN FORESTRY
BILL" PINCHOT'S WARNING
Claims Senators Hepburn and Carter
Have "Put One Over" on
Senate.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-That
Senators w. p. Hepburn (Repn. Ida.
ho), and Thomas s. Carter (Repn.
Mont.), have secured the adoption by
the senate of "jokers" in the agricul
tural appropriation bill, now in con.
ference, which will result In the
abrogation OF the forest policy IL fin
ally enacted, was the sensational
charge. sprung by Clifford Pinchot
former chief forester, In a speech be-
fore the National Lumber Dealers as
sociation here today.
"The Hepburn amendment" Pinchot
asserted, provides that all land upon
which there is growing less than 1000
feet Of merchantable timber, In con
tiguous areas OF 16O acres, shall be
excluded from the national forests.
This provision would practically
put an end to the use of the national
forests by the western people. II
would prevent the practice of fores
try. There is no form of use which II
would not seriously hinder or com
pletely destroy.
"It was supported by arguments &c
false as to be ridiculous and was
obviously intended to destroy the ma
tional forest system, which Il will dc
IL IL becomes law.
Another amendment, this time In
the interest of fraudulent mining
claimants, was introduced by Senator
Carter and also adopted. IL prohibits
the forest service from interfering
with fraudulent claimants except wher
their claims include merchantablt
timber, which most claims do not In
other words, Carter Is acting with
Hepburn to break up the na
ests and to injure the conservation In
terests Of the western people.
These are examples Of the way In
which legislation hostile to the public
welfare Is secured In the rush of Il
closing days Of congress"
In conclusion. Pinchot earnestly ap
pealed to his auditors to bring pres
sure on the conferees on the D..
defeat the "jokers."
