ALFALFA WEEVIL
IN CALIFORNIA

State Entomologist 5. b Doten. on
the occasion of his recent inspection of
the alfalfa fields around Lovelock, took
occasion to state that there were no signs
of the weevil in Nevada The farmers
OF the State are to be feliciated over the
fact, for i'll California the pests threatens
to wipe out the alfalfa fields in certain
sections of the southern coast. II the
alfalfa growers of the State are to avoid
the disaster which has befallen the po-
tato industry in Nevada, il will be neces-
sary to promptly quarantine against all
seed from that State.
The following extract from the Red
ding Searchlight indicates the alarm felt
over the situation in California:
IF an entry of the Mediterranean fly
is made in California it will cost the
State millions OF dollars and prompt
means will have to be taken to prevent
the pest from gaining an entry. The
fly is death to alfalfa and its presence
means the ruination OF the crop. Gov
ernor Johnson will be asked to legislate
for better quarantine laws at San Fran
cisco and for more thorough searching
Of the baggage brought by steamship
passengers from Hawaiian ports. Coy
ern,r johnson will also be requested to
allow the appointment of two assistant
quarantine officers at San Francisco and
an inspector should be sent to Honolulu.
1T is thought unwise at present to
issue quarantine against the alfalfa
weevil, and suggestion has been made
that county horticultural commissioners
be instructed to fumigaie wherever there
is the least sign of the pest"

The Word "Gaiters."

Episcopal CATERS cannot date from a
very remote antiquity The very w"rd
CATERS is almost a newcomer to the
language. Johnson's Dictionary does
not recognize its existence. 1t does not
occur before 1760, and even in 1902 a
military dictionary had to define it as
"a sort of spatterdashes. "Guetre," d"
however, the French original, goes
bacl; at least to the fifteenth century,
and the origin of that is lost, though
etymologists compare all sorts of
words in all sorts of languages, includ-
ing an old German word for baby's
christening cloth. The one certainty is
that CATERS has nothing to do with
gait in spite of the punning line in the
Rejected Addresses"-"LaX in their
CATERS, laxer in their gait."-London

RED HAIR WINS DIVORCE
FOR RICH MANS WIFE.
Kansas City Woman Found Titan
Tress on Her Husbands Brush.

Mrs. Emma B. Mason of Kansas
City obtained a divorce from Howard
L. Mason, a wealthy real estate man
and president of the Safety Rail and
Joint Lock company. After listening
to testimony in which Mrs. Mason told
of finding red hair on one of her hus-
bands hair brushes and of comparing
the same red hair with that which
adorned the head of her husbands fair
stenographer the court granted the de-
cree and gave Mrs. Mason the custody
of their nine-year-old son.
Mrs. Mason met Mr.. Mason at a
railroad station one day last year, and
he had with him his secretary, a pretty
young woman with auburn hair The
explanation was satisfactory-so much
business to transact. After another
trip a few weeks later Mrs. Mason
said she found the red hairs on the
brush. Then, she said. she remember
ed that the hair was identically the
same in color as that Of her husbands
stenographer.
Later, when she called up her hus-
bands office, she said. a woman asked
who she was. When she said she was

telephone, she continued. asked her
how she knew she was and if she
could prove it.

came in, and asked him about it. He
advised the two of us to go out into
the hall and fight it out"

Why He Went,

A man who was walking through a
train inadvertently left the door of one
of the cars open. A big man sitting in
a seat in the middle of the car yelled:
Shut the door. you fool! Were you
raised in barn?"
The man who had left the door open
closed it and then, dropping into a
seat, buried his face in his hands and
began to weep. The big man looked
somewhat uncomfortable and, rising,
finally walked up to the weeper and
tapped him on the shoulder.
"My friend" he said, Il didn't intend
to hurt your feelings ! Just wanted
you to close the door"
The man who was weeping raised
his head and grinned. "Old man." he
said, 'Im not crying because you hurt
my feelings, but because you asked me
if | was raised in a barn. The sad
fact is that I was raised in a barn, and
every time hear an ass bray it makes
me homesick. Louisville Times.

BITTEN 500 TIMES.
Dog Cateher's Body Literally Tattooed.
Once Had Hydrophobia.


Lawrence ellison, the Pittsburg dog
catcher who has earned the sobriquet
Of Iron man" because he has been
proof against more than 500 dog bites,
has been bitten again.
He was attacked by big mastiff, at
which he fred twelve shots before he
killed it, then carried its head to the
Mercy Hospital and Pathological insti-
tute. The physicians examined the
animals brain and found that it had
been suffering from hydrophobia in its
worst form.
Gilsons body is literally tattooed
with dog bites. His immunity from
their effects has attracted the atten-
ton Of physicians generally, and he is
an object of much curiosity. Three
months ago he was attacked by fero.
cious bulldog which he tried to catch
in the net. Hydrophobia developed
and his body became greatly swollen
For several days he lowered between
life and death; but, to the surprise OF
the scientists who came here from al
parts of the country to observe his
case, he fully recovered.

The Automobile,

neto, triumph over mud axle deep,
jump fences and cavort over plowed
ground at fifteen miles an hour 1t

various kinds of hunting, including
coyote coursing on the prairies of Col
orado, where it can run all around the
broncho, formerly in favor, since it new
er runs any risk of breaking leg in
a prairie dog hole. Educated automo-
biles have been trained to shell corn,
saw wood. pump water, churn, plow,
and, in short do anything required of
them, except figure out where the con-
sumer gets off under the tariff law

WIRE PULLING In
THE KEYSTONE GUARD
OBJECTIONS RAISED TO j. ROY
HLLEY AS RECEIVER, SAYS
DAILY ADVOCATE.

Wire pulling has already begun
in the Keystone Guard for the Of
flee of receivership. For some weeks
it has been reported that a scheme
was on foot to have j. Roy Lilley,
the son of Boss Lilley, appointed to
this fat office. The scheme was
conducted with much secrecy, but
it finally leaked out, and then many
of the pollok holders raised objec-
tions to Lilley.
They raised the point that the
Office of receiver was not political
son of plitical boss. They also
objected on the ground that Mr.
Lilley was on very intimate terms
with several of the officers of the
Guard who had been engaged in
looting the company.
Meetings of policy holders were
called both in Towanda and Athens
this week at which rumor said that
Lilley would be recommended for
receiver. So much opposition de-
veloped, however, that his name
was not pressed in open meeting
and his friends confined themselves
to working outside.
In Athens the names of E. s
Johnson and G. S. Rundell were
proposed, and after a stormy meet
ing the policy holders finally voted
in favor of Mr.. Johnson. This ac-
tion, however, is not binding on
