Every year there is a hue and cry
raised in some parts of the country
about recurring visitation of the
IL year locusts." The most terri
flying pictures are drawn Of the dam
age that Will be done by these ''vo-
racious' insects. AS a matter of
fact tire insect referred 10 as the
"17-year locust" is not a locust at
all, but the cicada familiar to the
people and sung of by the poets from
the remotest antiquity. 1t does lit
tie harm except to a few species of
forest trees and that only of a tenn
porary character. This damage is
done through the boring into twigs
where the eggs of the insects are
laid and which drop OF, causing the
tree to temporarily assume the ap-
pearance of being killed. The true
locust, such as descended upon Egypt
in the days of Moses, is akin TO the
Kansas grasshopper and destroyers
every green thing in its path.
The two insects do not even be-
ong TO the same order, zooiogically
speaking. The true locust belongs to
the orthoptera and the cicada TO the
hemiptera. In the past, the '17-year
locust" has appeared in such vast
mum bers in this part of Illinois as to
become a yeritable pest. and has
left certain parts of the forest look
ing as though fire had passed over
it, but. except IN the case Of very
young trees, this damage proved of
no lasting effect. The cicada is an
old friend You can hear him or her.
as the cause may be, singing IN the
trees on summer afternoons and
sometimes his song becomes as mo-
notonous and disagreeable as the
sound Of the girl next door practie-
ing the 'Maiden's Prayer but the
fact Is We would miss the cicads if
he were gone. Like the doodle
bug he is somehow or other con-
nected with the memory of the old
days in the country, where most OF
US spent our childhood.

Teaching the Child to Save

II is good thing to teach children
TO save their money and take care of
their property, and It is such a good
thing that many people are inclined
TO ovsrdo it, because it is a wrong
doctrine that the good things of life
are. 10 be sought after to be boarded
instead Of spent
The question of laying by some
thing for rainy day or providing
sustenance for old age is another
phase about which there need be no
controversy. 1t is the child who
loves and gives and not the stingy
little miser who grows up to be the
man, says the State Register. That
which is given TO the child freely
should be his to spend freely with
only such checks on his generosity as
good sense and morals dictate. II
a child is given a chance to earn
money, and every child should. then
the lesson of saving should be taught
is a sensible way.
There are many angles from which
this question may be studied and the

When one is building a tennis court
provision may easily be made for a
rink by excavating from six inches
to one foot deeper than the surround
ing ground and making this depress-
ed area as much greater than his

permit Twenty-Five feet In the clear
outside the lines of the court will give
an area of over 1000 square feet-an
ample space for number of people TO

the last to prevent that body from
yoicing itself as to the merits of those
charges. If the conviction was well
established that Lorimer would be
ousted on the strength of a vote, can
you imagine bigger howl than would
have gone over all this land by those
who are seeking to disqualify him ,
And it would be justifable protest.
The thing to do, rather, is to force
the senate to action. Let the people
know how it stands, for what the peo-
pie are interested in is a principle
They are sincerely interested in
a principle and a practice, and
they are not interested in the
personal enemies of Mr.. Lorimer.
Let the senate put itself on record
one way or the other. Acts instead of
words are wanted at the present stage
of the proceedings in the Lofimer case.

the earliest traces are found on Egyp-

somewhat of the greyhound type
which date back to at least $500 3. c.
Even in those remote days the dog
was highly esteemed. Coming down
a little later, we read that Ulysses
5000 years ago was recognized by his
dog Argus after his swineherd had
failed TO do so.
Plutarch speaks OF Alcibades. who
cut Off the tail Of his dog, and Myron

them from the chase and also as pets.

There are oceans of land just as
there are oceans of water. At least
beyond the Mississippi river there are
regions which. viewed from the tops
of the mountains looking eastward,
have the appearance of great seas.
Descending, one finds a vast level
plain through which run few streams,
and those that exist, having no foliage
on their banks, are without beauty.
The ground, which is often rolling, is
usually covered with no fora except
cactus, whose spears are like bayonetS.
One afternoon a young man wearing
trousers of buffalo skin, a wooden shirt
and a sOmbrero sat on his horse, shad-
ing his eyes from the sun with his
hand. peering at something in the dis
lance. He was on the crest of one of
the land rollers and managed to make
out, a couple of miles away, the white
top of a plains schooner.
A little puff of smoke appeared near
It, followed by a faint crack, then
another and another at intervals. He
heard responsive cracks, but the land
lay so that he could not see from
whom they came. But he knew that
he was in the country of the Apache,
and persons firing from behind a
wagon meant white men defending
themselves from the most savage tribe
of Indians. The picture told him more
than this. One wagon did not indicate
many whites, whereas there were
plenty of Indians about Again. a
wagon was almost surely indicative of
a moving family in which there were
likely to be women and children.

A Poor PreIafe


The inventory fled in the estate of
the late Archbishop Ryan of Phila-
delphia shows him to have died pos
sessed of a mere S4,O31. That he
had no more is not because he was a
man of wasteful personal habits, for
his personal wants were few and cas-
lily supplied; nor because he got little
money, for big sums reached his
hands. He was a generous giver In
1903, year which concentrated
the close of a half-century of his
work as priest, admirers contri-
buted to a purse of $4,000 and
presented 1t to him. Not a penny of
this money chung to his hands, but
was given away, the whole of it, in
lump sum, for the construction and
equipment of an orphan asylum. In
til the time of his death the institu-
ton benefited from frequent contri-
buttons made towards its maintain
ence by the archbishop
II is good to be able to chronicle
such facts as these of a minister of
the Lord, accepted by the members
OF great church as engaged in the
work of Christ. There is nothing in
the lives of such shepherds which
friends must explain away, and in
genuity is not taxed 10 account for
