GONE A BUG-HUNTING.


New York, June 5.-William Ben
ton Miller, of the American Museum
of Natural History, will leave this
week on months expedition
into the Black Mountains of North
Carolina in search of new bugs for
the museums collection The expe-
dition is financed by Samuel v. Hoff
man, president Of the New York
Historical Society. Research in the
Southern field was started by Mr..
Hoffman's father, the Rev. DR.. e. A.
Hoffman, of the General Theolog-
ical Seminary.-News Item.
I am sure tickled about that.
Through all the dark and gloomy
days of my miserable existence
have been waiting for this glad day
to arrive. / have shed enough salty
tears to float battleship over the
sad fact that nobody had come tc
hunt our bugs. / have not had time
to hunt them myself, and it fairly
broke my heart to see this great
work so sadly neglected. The har-
vest of bugs is great and the laborers
are few. People are so strange about
this bug-hunting business, anyhow.
I have actually known men to waste
their valuable time by working IN
the farm in the shop or other busi-
ness, when they might have been
serving their country better and
making themselves great name by
hunting bugs. l have often rambled
bugs about it. One poor old bug that
/ met was standing on log and way.

SO they could dictate their editorial
policy and keep out the muck

Well, honey, I suppose you know
that Old Man Dollar can do most
anything these days, and so the Nor

hooks hung in the financial gills of
several of the leading magazines.

to the trust, and the war between the
two factions has been going on hot
and heavy.

to try to side-track the muck-rake

THE CIGARETTE FOOL.
VOL. IL.

His fingers are yaller,
His thinker is shaller,
And there is a pallor
Upon his cheek;
His eyes are mattered,
His nerves are shattered,
His wits are scattered,
His mind is weak.
His flesh is fabby,
His memory's shabby,
And though he is gabby, IS
He's got no sense;
His folly is leaking
Through all his speaking;
His breath is reeking
With stink intense.
His pants he scratches
With parlor matches
Until big patches
Adorn his seat;
Through all the nation
He holds the station
OF degradation
And sad defeat.
