Antiny Campaign.
From the Indianapolis News.

From the Indiana polls News.
In time of peace prepare for war
The time to arrange for a fly campaign
is in the winter. The supreme author
ity on fly determination today is Prof.
C. +. Hodge, Of Clark University, Wor-
ccster, Mass, who last year made that
city Practically f1yless. His method Is
to make use jim various ways of the
conical wiremesh fly trap, which IS
familiar to almost every one, in sucn
way as to turn the tables on The
flies and put them in Jail and lie. our
selves out The plan involves, OF
course, the abolition, as far as posss-
BILE. of all breeding and feeding places
for flies and the application OF the ny
trap mentioned above to the, garbage
can. the screens on windows, the COW
ers on manure bins, &c, all OF which
can he done by a little mechanical In
repuity. Garbage cans are on the mar
ket which have a cover larger than the
can. and not fitting down closely on 1t
so that the flies can gain access 10 the
can under the cover and escape
through a hole in the over over which
is fixed a fly trap. In fighting the ny,
Hodge has found that the essentials OF
q successful campaign are to transfer
the fight against the fly from the house
to outdoors and then to exterm1nate IT,
Another essential feature In town or
city Is that households must cooper
ate. One ignorant or careless home
car breed flies enough. to vitiate the
best endeavors of a whole town.

trying to help me. 1 went very little
to school, L never went to the public
schools, as my own children later did,
both at the Cove" School, at Oyster
Bay, and at the Ford School, in WASH
ington. For a few months l attended
Prof, McMullen's School, in Twentieth
Street near the house where / was
born, but most of the time had tutors.
AS / have already said. my aunt taught
me when / was small. At one time we
had a French governess, a loved and
valued "mam'selle." in the household.
When ] was ten years old l made my
first journey to Europe. My birthday
was spent in Cologne, and, in order to
give me thoroughly party" feeling,
l remember that my mother put on
full dress for my birthday dinner. 1
do not think / gained anything from
this particular trip abroad. 1 cordially
hated it, as did my younger brother
and sister. Practically ali the employ
ment we had was in exploring any
ruins or mountains when we could get
away from our elders. and in playing
in the different hotels. Our one desire
was to get back to America, and we
regarded Europe with the most igno-
rant Chauyinism and contempt. Four
years later, however. l made another
Journey to Europe. and was old enough
to enjoy it thoroughly and profit by 1t.
While still a small boy l began to
take interest in natural history. / re-
member distinctly the first day that i
started on my career as zoologist. l
was walking up Broadway, and as 1
passed the market to which l used
sometimes to be sent before breakfast
to get Strawberries, / suddenly saw
dead seal laid out on a slab of wood.
That seal filled me with every possible
feeling of romance and adventure. l
asked where it was killed, and was in
formed in the harbor. 1 had already
begun to read some of Mayne Reds
books and other boys books of adven-
ture, and 1 felt that this seal brought
all these adventures in realistic fash
ion before me. AS long as that seal
remained there l haunted the neigh
borhood of the market day after day. I

a tape measure, l had to do my best to
get its girth with folding pocket

Lack of Organization and the Mini
mum Wage.

Two of the largest employers OF
women in Illinois, testifying before a
State Senate committee, offered no OBJ
lection to a minimum wage law for
women. provided it were national in
its scope; that is, provided it would
apply to their competitors in other
States as we'll as to themselves.
The reason for this request is plain.
Department storekeepers are in brisk
competition. Broadly speaking, one
of them cannot pay much more wages
than another, or the other will under
sell him. Careful students of the mat
ter have reported that woman can
support herself decently in Chicago on
So week, allowing ST for apparel and
SIPS for illness, drug bills, amuse-
ments, and emergencies.
Three Chicago concerns, in which
the work is very similar, employing
1900 girls, pay an average weekly
wage of $o.I2, $3.50, and 5000. Thus
the average is slightly above the living
wage as above reported. The lowest
wage paid is doubtless well below So,
and is to be accounted for by the fact
that unorganized women are competing
for any kind of work that will keep
them alive. 1t is the general opinion
that department stores not mismanaged
pay very large returns on the invest
ment. Owners of the stores would
doubtless reply that the labor is of
such a quality that it cannot command
higher pay.
Apparently the ruling wage is just
about enough to keep these women
alive and no more, and the reason for
this is that unorganized women are
competing for any job, providing it
will keep them alive.

Arnold Bennctt's America.

FROM the London Athenaeum.
There are at least two Mr.. BENEFITS
with whom We may become acquainted
There is the Mr.. Bennett who expresses
himself with elaboration and concen-
trates energy on a subject which has
nlied his mind and associated itself
with his personality. This is the au-
thor of THE Old Wives Tale" CLAY
harser. and "Hilda Lessways"
There also is the Mr. Bennett who is
willing to write eagerly about anything
whatsoever that has for a moment
stimulated his imagination and may
lend itself TO the descriptive pen of
journalist. This is the author of
Those United States
Arnold Bennett is trifing with his
art when he writes book of this sort.
1t is because he has not devoted him
self to his subject with that intel
iectual honesty" the lack OF which he
deplores in both England and America.
In fact, we feel that he has written
about the things which interested him
least instead of those things which in
terested him most. He has written
more about American telephones than
about American men, more about the
Capitol than about legislators, more
about theaters than plays. more about
cars than the occupants of them.

These fees will be doubled under the
following conditions: O Urgent calls, or

New Britain (Con) Dispatch to New York Herald.
The last of the Mohicans'' is the dis
tnction claimed for Andrew Harrison, of
this city, said to be the only full-blood-
ed survivor Of the famous Indian tribe.
Although Harrison is eighty years old,
his hair rs black as coal and there are
few gray hairs in his beard. He lives
here in the winter and works his farm
at Berlin in the summer. He is a civil
war veteran, having served on land and
sea, and receives a pension. He was
born at Middlebury. Conn.
MY father was an Indian slave in a
Long Island family" Harrison said. He
was called Jack, and as was customary
in those days, I was called Jacks SON.

navy 1 took the name Of Andrew Harri-
son. and it has stuck to me.
my grandfather fought with the colo
nists in the Revolution, and out of re-
spect to his memory I enlisted for the
civil war. After serving on board Of the
North Carolina and the Vermont, 1 was
assigned to the Kingfisher, a small ves-
sci commanded by Capt. Dutch. I al
most lost my life.
I'VE had been at anchor in Black
Creek. just south Of Hiltonhead, N. c.,
for three months when orders came to
run into the open sea as q Confederate
vessel with heavy equipment had located
our position. We raised the mainsl and
started from our mornings. But the
rudder had become wedged and the
helmsman and the combined crew were
unable to turn the wheel. The first thing
we knew we had gone across the creek
and were hard and fast in a bank Of
quicksand. We had barely time to lower
the boats. / was the last to leave and
the water was then up to the gunwales

WIN Panics Are Averted in Germany.

A reform of the tariff may mean a
great deal to the mass of people of
this country. but an adequate reform
of our banking laws means a good
deal more, not only in the way of
business and trade, but of content
ment and safety of investments.
The farmers or wage-earners may
not see this at once, but they could
have seen it in 1893, when stupid cur
rency legislation and defective bank
ing system assisted greatly in bring
ing on that industrial prostration which
made tramps of thousands of work.
men and sent grain prices below the
cost of production And what is more,
the losses of the panic of 1907 by
no means fell exclusively upon the
rich. There were bread lines in many
cities. The theory that panic is due
every twenty. years, no doubt, is based
on mere coincidents. Still there may
be some important reaction in bust
ness before the next Presidential CAM
paign. 1t is not in the nature Of
things that the record-breaking pace
of the last half of 1912, and the first
quarter of 1913 should continue in
definitely. Some time within the COM
ing four years there will be con-
siderable slackening.
After a big industrial boom Ger
many also has been going through a
troublous period of readjustment; but
there has been no break, no demorali-
zation of its industry, simply because
the German banking system was fully
competent to deal with the situation.
This is what is lacking here with
US. We believe that the Wilson adj
ministration has no more important
question than this to deal with.

foot-rule, a difacult undertaking. I
carefully made record Of the utterly
useless measurements. and at once be-
gan to write natural history Of my
own. on the strength Of that seal. This
and subsequent natural histories were
written down In blank books in simpli-
fed spelling wholly unprecedented
and unscientifc. / had vague aspira-
tions of in some way owning and pre-
serving that seal, but they never got
beyond the purely formless stage.
/ think, however, I did get the seals
skull. and with two Of my cousins
promptly started what we ambitiously
called the Roosevelt Museum of Nat
ural History" The collections were at
first kept In my room, until a rebellion
on the part of the chambermaid re-
ceived the approval of the higher au-
thoriries of the household, and the
collection was moved up to a kind OF
bookcase In the back hall upstairs. 1t
was the ordinary small boys collection
of curios, quite incongruous and en-
tirely valueless except from the stand
point of the boy himself. My father
and mother encouraged me warmly in
this, as they always did in anything
that would give me wholesome pleas
ure or help to develop me.
The adventure of the seal and the
novels of Mayne Reid together
strengthened my instructive interest In
natural history. / was too young to
understand much of Mayne Reid, ex-
cepting the adventure part and the
natural history part-these enthralled
me. But, Of course, my reading was
not wholly confined to natural history.
There was very little effort made to
compel nae to read books, my father
and mother having the good sense MOI
to try to get me to read anything 1
did not like unless it was in the way
Of study. l was given the chance to
read books that they thought l ought
to read, but if l did not like them l
was then given some other good book
that I did like. There were certain
