BED BUGS STOP TELEPHONES.
They Took Charge of Rural Ex-
change for Short While.

Atlanta, Sept. 1.--When the local
switchboard Of small rural tele-
phone community went completely
out of commission night or two ago
Ia thing never heard of before I'm
Its career-friends in the city were
naturally perturbed at not being
able to reach their country cousins,
and In the morning phoned again to
inquire the cause.
The message came back that the
exchange had been put out Of COM
mission by bed bugs!
The natural Inference here was
that bed bugs had eaten up the lady
operator, and her friends exclaimed,
"Alas."
But that wasn't the way of it at
all, though the supposition was not
unwarranted. Further information
developed the fact that the pesky lit
tie vermin had got behind the
switchboard at the central office.
where they had fed, waxed fat and
prospered, banqueting the while on
the paraf1ne that covered some of
the electric wires. Like the refec-
ton attributed to Daniel in the
lions den, this was one dinner after
which there weren't any speeches.
leastwise not over those telephone
wires. 1t was an amusing mishap
such as probably has never occurred
in the whole realm Of telephone his
tory before and never will occur
again. A gallon Of bed bug extermi-
nator and little work on tie part
of a lineman soon put phones back
into commission.
For several years past telephones
have been gradually coming to be
regarded as just as much of a neces-
sity In rural districts as in the cities,
and the whole South Is now thread
ed with rural telephone connections.
This Is the first recorded time that
any rural office has gone out of COM
mission even for night, except in
time Of terrible storm.

SOME OF YoUNG's REASONS,
Ohio Base Ball Player Never Forgets
His Business.
(Greenville Piedmont.)

\uiceuFlllo fleuIlOuC.)
Cy Young, who has the greatest
record ever made by pitcher, when
asked how he has managed to keep
in the game, pitching winning ball
about twice as long as the best Of
them usually last gave very clear
| and lucid statement of his ideas of
what causes contributed to his sue
| cess. His rules OF conduct, If follow
ed In many other lines of endeavor
would ensure success therein. He
says II just mind my own business,
behave myself and refuse to worry"
That's good rule for minister, law
yer, doctor, business man, clerk or
| anybody else.
His next statement of a reason for
| his success Is worth attention, espc-
cially from those who are paid sal
aries or wages. He says: "Then I
work hard. That counts for lot. I
| always remember, when 1 am out In
the lot, that am working for some
men who are paying me salary,
and It's up to me to earn it, and not
| to try to teach the umpires their
| business, or to do anything except
| pitch as good ball as l can"
| What a lesson. there is in that for
the employee, who keeps so busy
worrying over the boss's mistakes or
! trying to teach Bis follow employees
their duties, that he has not suff1-
| cient time In which to do the work
for which he is paid.
Some Of Young's other maxims, ac-
| cording to which he has lived, so that
he has not only been a success as a
base ball player but has accumulat-
| ed fortune estimated in excess Of
| one hundred thousand dollars, are
we'll worth following by others than
ball players. Among them are
| these:
| "Be earnest
"Cut out dissipation.
"Form regular habits.
! Keep in condition all the year
round. Remember that your mind
hoo SoL " uS Oil your "OIk IL you
are to succeed.
Never let the important fact es-
cape you that you are In the game
to play ball, not to help with the UNI
pring. Let the umpires earn their
salaries, and you earn yours.
Bear in mind that you will prob
| ably live some years after you quit
| playing ball, and save your money"
No wonder Young has been sue
cess, for he lives up to his rules, and
when he does get through playing
ball, he will retire to a big. well-kept
farm at Pcoli, Tuscarawas county,
| Ohio, to enjoy life for many years
more. He will go into retirement
In perfect physical health, and with
| out leaving an enemy among ball
players, umpires or fans.

Power of The Old Hymns

What power those old hymns had ! The modern student who analyzes things and picks them to pieces and sees what they are made of, would say probably that they had dramatic con- stI uction or something of that sort. But at the camp-meetings about this time of the year, a. long time ago, you knew only that somehow they stirred the people. Was it the hymns, was iu the religious spirit peculiar to the time, was 1t the environment of those days. that made saints and sinners, old and young, lift up their voices mightilv at the camp-meeting and the country school house?
 Hold the fort for I. am coming. y Remember it? It was sung mostly at Sunday school i'll the country school house? So was "Whosoever will" a joyous card by the immortal P. P. Bliss. j"Safe in the arms of Jesus" was one by Fanny Crosby that time has served only to mellow, like old w1ne. "Rine the. bells of heaven" and Revive us again" were sung with such spirit that you could almost hear the bells ringing and surely could see the audience re. vived.
 "Only an armor bearer''-who can measure the power set in motion when F. P. Bliss gave the world the simple philosophy ill that song?
 Only an armor bearer, proudly I stand
 Waiting to follow at the Kings com.
 mand:
 Marching if Onward" shall the order be,
 Standing by my captain. serving faithfullv And the chorus:-
 Hear ye the battle cry? "Forward' the call.
 See l See the falt'ring ones Backward
 they fall.
 Surely the captain will depend on me. Though but all armor bearer l may be. How many of the men who have done things in country and cities were spurred by that old song?
 And there was "Beulah Land, ' Bringing in the Sheaves'' When the Mists Have Rolled in Splendor," !" Work for the Night is Coming" "On Jordan's Stormy Banks" Gathering Home,' Just As Am, "Lead Kindly Light" "The Ninety and Nine," My Faith Looks up to Thee," The Sweet Story of Old," Almost Persuaded, " Happy Day." and host of others they are still sung and they carry with them pictures of time and place away back in the score of years. Those old hymns of the country school-house and | the open-air meeting have a corner all their own in the mental house-a corner nothing else could adorn. Old they are, but not worn; always can they be revived in their first sweetness Kansas City Star.

HOG CHOLERA===NO. 3.
BY Or. M. II. Reynolds, Mime
sofa University Farm.
j. i. j. 4 \ + j. i. j. j. !. = i. i. i. !

Farmers who will bear in mind
what was said in Article No. l, con-
cerning the cause and infectious ma
ture of hog-cholera, will readily under
stand that there are very many ways
of scattering the disease. They should
also understand that most of these
ways are easily avoided 1t is es-
pecially important to remember that
the especially infectious thing about
a natural hog-cholera outbreak is the
manure of affected hogs. The blood
is, of course, Virulent and capable of
spreading the disease, but it is not
conceivable that blood, as such and
apart from pieces of carcass, very
commonly serves as a source of dis
semination. The manure contami-
mates yards. pastures, pens, feeding
floors, troughs, ponds and streams.
Anyone walking through such yards
or pens may easily pick up enough in
fection, on shoes and clothing, to
start number of outbreaks on differ
ent farms.
hog-cholera virus consists of minute
particles Of living matter, and that
these particles may be carried in many
ways that other very minute particles
of matter can be carried. So far as
we know, the virus is not carried any
distance by the air, excepting perhaps
that it may be carried upon bits of
straw or ether yard litter.
Practically all parts of the car
casses of diseased hogs are infectious;
so, when the family dog brings home
a piece of dead hog from an infected
farm, he usually starts an outbreak
of cholera at home.
People living on a farm where hogs
are kept should always avoid pens
and yards on other farms where hogs
are sick from any disease, and should
avoid going into public stock-yards.
Many an outbreak has been started
