WOULDN'T 1T PEEVE YOU7
Pittsburgh, Sept. 21.-If you
had dandy little fruit farm and
somebody set fire to it under
meath the earth, and it burned,
and burned, and the smoke leaked
up through the ground and de-
stroyed your fruit, and leaked
through your cellar and spoiled
your breakfast, wouldn't you be
mad?
You would, and that is just
what is making Charles Kostok
the most peeved man IN Whitaker
Borough today, Kostok being the
owner of the aforesaid dandy lit
tie fruit farm.
Kostok is tearing around the
countryside swearing he is going
to go to. law about il, and that he
would go to law about it right
now if only he knew whom to sue.
Kostok's farm is partly in
Whitaker Borough and partly in
Miflin township. Next to his
farm there is a ravine, in which
there is an abandoned coal mine.
About two years ago Charles
woke up and remarked to his wife
that there was an awful smell of
smoke about the place.
There certainly was, and
Charles wife said he could get
busy and find out where the
smoke was coming from
Charles nearlyturned the house
inside out, but finally he managed

The train was fullof travelling
men, and, of course, there was the
funny man. He had been finding
it rather hard, however, to score
satisfactorily off his fellow trav-
elers.
At last they came to a roadside
station where they had to change
and wait for half an hour. The
funny man thought he would
have a little amusement at the
porter's expense.

gravely, as he scratched his head.

Then the funny man found if
advisable to disappear.

SWAT THE FLY.
No Filth, No Flies.
Man Must Kill the Fly
Or the Fly Will Kill Man.

Those who are waging war on the
fiies-a most useful and important
war-speak of the fly as the fly that
will not wipe his feet" 1t is a good
rough phrase to attract attention,
but unfortunately the fly does wipe
his feet. He wipes his feet on the
food that you eat, on the faces and
on the lips of the sleeping children.
He is a frequenter of offal; the fe-
male fly lays her eggs in manure
piles. The flies in millions settle
on the refuse. the sewage that wash
es all along the beach along the
waters edge in great cities.
All the germs, all imaginable hor-
ible microbes, fasten themselves to
the spongy feet of the fly, and the
fly brings the germs into the house
and there wipes them off his feet.
And that does more to spread typhoid
than any other cause.
How often have you seen the fly
standing on a lump of sugar in the
sugarbowl industriously shutting his
front feet! He is wiping off the dis
ease germs, rubbing them on the
