LOCuStS Locate In Jersey
SPEND SEVENTEEN YEARS TO
GROW UP AND LIVE ONLY
A FEW WEEKS. -

A seventeen year locust was lying
on it's back waving it's legs and ap-
pearing to be perfectly miserable in
box of baking powder, which was
the centre of peering group at the
meeting of the New York Entomolo-
gical Society at the Museum of Nat
ural History recently.
The bug in the baking powder is
a specimen of the thing that New
Jersey is viewing with apprehension
and alarm nowadays, and we are 60
ing to see lot of his brothers and
sisters in these parts in short
time. They will be crying aloud
in the wilds of Staten Island, west
ern Long Island and northern New
Jersey some time in the middle of
next month, according to all the
best chronological dope obtainable.
Their advent is so dreaded by the
owners of gardens and orchards that
word comes from Jersey that S. P. S.
C.'s are being organized from Mont
clair to Peapack. 1t was with this
in mind and having a pretty low
opinion of the cicada anyway that
the reporter broke in on a group of
entomologsts who were putting COM
fortably at their pipes (they have a
smoker in their meetings) and who
were discussing with some heat the
love affairs of beetles. The re-
porter asked one of the wise men
what seemed to be an innocent ques-
tion as to how this cicada invasion
could be stopped. Whereupon all
of the entomologists fell upon the
reporter and convinced him of his
astounding ignorance.
Stop it," said Entomologist Will
liam T. Davis, treasurer of the So
ciety, what do you want to stop
for? Don't you realize what a won
derful thing this is-this return of
the cicada after seventeen painful
years of growth and now you come
along and want to stop it?"
They one and all gazed at the
reporter, who felt too much like a
specimen to be entirely comfortable.
But what good do they do?" he
finally piped.
What good do Niagara Falls do?"
they asked him scornfully and then
they sat down and expounded the
life of a cicada to the layman.
In 1894 a female cicada (there
were ever so many of them them on
her last visit to Staten Island dug

kicked for cash road:
I'll kick for worked roads.
Have no big auto.
But drive a trotter that can go fast,
as she oughto.
Where is Rip Van Wrinkle No. 1?
That's for Preston No. 2.
Give me the dollar,

Answer: We thought Rip Van
Winkle never wore a collar.
Dear Editor:
l kick against chronic grumblers.
MRS. R. NELSON,
Siko, Pa.
-Answer: Then this verse should
appeal to you. We don't know to
whom the credit should be given.
Always Kicking.
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day;
Kicking if he's busy,
Kicking at delay.
Thus the chronic kicker
Fills his life with woes,
Frowning, grumbling, wrangling,
Everywhere he goes.
Nothing ever suits him,
Always finding fault;
Every kind of pleasure
He is sure to halt.
Scowling at the children,
Growing at his wife;
Turning peace and comfort
Into constant strife. {
Kicking if the weather
Happens to be dry;
Kicking when the rain is
Tumbling from the sky.
Kicking in the summer
Heat has then no charm;
Kicking in the winter
Then he'd have it warm.
Kicking every meal-time,
Glaring at the meat;
Often he is saying: I
Nothing fit to eat"
Kicking when he's reading,
Grumbling at the light;
Now and then denouncing
Everything in sight. /
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day;
Kicking in the evening,
Kicking should he pray
Kicking while he's thinking,
Kicking when in bed;
Wonder if he'll keep on
Kicking when he's dead?

has been few and far between. The
last time that he was present at a

a talk on ancient Syracuse, the home

as the members anxiously awaited the
coming of the honored guest. Finally
the governor became tired of waiting
and came to the conclusion that some

streets began to make inquiries, when
he was put wise to his mistake. When
he finally put in an appearance at the

MEETS A HORRIBLE FATE.
James Newman, Living Alone, Is
Burned to Death Near 500.

James Newman, a F'renchman, who
had been living alone about two miles
out of the 500 met a horrible fate when
he persisted i'm a fire which destroyed
his house. All that was found of his
remains in the debris was scarcely
more than enough to determine that
they were those of human person.
The theory is that the old man was
overcome by the smoke while asleep
and was unable to get out of the burn
ing structure. The origin of the fire
remains a mystery as. Newman was
alone and no one saw the blaze until II
had gained great Roadway. The build
ing was owned by A. Godin of the 500.
The loss is estimated at about $4,000.
Newman had been a resident of the
vicinity for some time and at one time
was employed by the city as garbage
collector. He had a wife and two
daughters residing in owen Sound.
