From Out in Colorado.

Hygiene, Colo, Dee. 27. Editor Tribune: The Tribune is a!- ways welcome visitor in our home. We anxiously await it's coming from time to time. l enjoy the items from different communities and especially the "Cisco Siftings" as I lived near Cisco four years.
 l see that you people are talking good roads. That is the proper thing. Good roads will be a great thing for your state. We have splendid roads out here. but you can have just as good there, only 8 little more expensive to build
 Hygiene is village about 40 miles northwest of Denver. We can see snow at all times of the year, but never have any here earlier than September, nor later than May. We have some as fine farms as ever saw. Principal crops are sugar beets, alfalfa and small grains.
 We like Colorado fine, nevertheless we have a warm place in our hearts for Arkansas. l remember some of the finest people there I ever saw, so I do not regret having lived there.
 Wishing The Tribune and it's readers a happy New Year, l remain,

Li1Iltnino Kills Few.

In 1866 lightning killed only 169 pee pie in this whole country. Ones chan ces of death by lightning are less than two in million. The chance of death from liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, Ia., proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bitters. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only soc at all druggists.

New Yorker Discovers Fish That
Strikes at Cigar Butts and Has
Taste for Nicotine.

Bartletts, n. Y.-John ]. Flanagan
manager at Bartletts, has as one OF
his proteges black bass which uses
tobacco, The fish. being an intelli'
gent one, does not smoke cigarettes
But It chews
Mr.. Flaagan got acquainted with
the habits of the bass about month
ago. The bass favorite loafing ground
is near a power.house. Always, when
Mr.. Flanagan goes to the power
house, he filings the cigar he happens
to be smoking away, so that there
will be no danger of fire.
He flung his cigar into the water by
the power.house one day and the bass
made a rush for 1t and grabbed 1t, dis
appearing under the water, MIR.
Flanagan thought little of that at the
time, for on certain days bass will
strike at nearly anything, while on
other days the most alluring bait will
not tempt them. A day or two later
he flung another cigar butt into the
water and the same fish rose to It
and nabbed It.
After this had happened dozen
times, Mr. Flanagan was forced to
the conclusion that II was not mere
random hunger on the part of the
bass, but a genuine taste for tobacco,

The alfalfa weevil is native of

to experiment with in this country.

Locusts in All Sections.

State Zoologist Surface announces
that the seventeen-year locust has
now appeared in all parts of Pennsyl-
vania where they will occur this year,
and there is, consequently, no need
of any further delay of pruning in
order to avoid the ravages, and no
need of keeping trees covered for pro-
lection from them in regions where
they have rot put in an appearance.
According to schedule, these peculiar
insects appeared in the mountainous
and hilly regions of Pennsylvania,
from the Susquehanna River to Har-
risburg, eastward to New Jersey. In
some places they were very abundant.
Mr.. Surface is engaged in seeking in
formation as TO the exact localities
in which they were present, so that
these can be charted on maps for flu
ture practical use, This information
should be sent to him together with
specimens. In some regions of the
State persons who planted young
fruit trees, followed the directions of
Prof. Surface in delaying pruning un-
til after the locusts had deposited
their eggs, so that the injured
branches could be cut away without
concentrating the injury into small
area.
