the minds of the people. We must
strike while the iron is hot-not

delegation to Washington to ask for
a million dollars. The government
owes us this much protection from
its rivers and with the proper repre-
sentation, we do not doubt but what

Cairo's future depends entirely
upon the stability OF its levee sys-

NOVEL IDEA THAT SEEMS GOOD
Telephone Letter. Makes an Anus
Ing Communication fof uae In
Vacation Period.

A telephone letter is a novelty In
the way Of vacation correspondence,
All that is necessary in order to get
Into the right frame of mind for such
letter Is to imagine yourself at
one end of the wire with your cor
respondent at the other. Write the
letter as you would talk.
II you are addicted to the telephone
habit you will unconsciously fall into
just the right kind of composition.
The typical telephone letter should
have short paragraphs, well detach-
cd. Leave wide margins on both sides
OF the paper and make not only the
wording. but the general appearances
quite different from the ordinary
letter.
Commence an occasional paragraph
with Yes" or mo" in answer to an
imaginary remark of your correspond
ent. This makes the conversational
style more apparent With little In.
genuity good deal Of news can be
incorporated in one of these letters
and 1t can be made interesting as well
as amusing.
The preliminary paragraph may be
a supposed conversation with cen
trail as to trouble in getting the right
connection, or you may imagine your
self put by mistake on busy wire,
and have difficulty In ringing on, Any
one with a sense Of humor and fond
OF using the telephone can make such
letter thing to be remembered by
the one who is fortunate enough "
receive It.

Retort Of John Wilkes.

In the days when George III. was
king. and when his periodic lapses into
infirmity of mind brought about re-
sumptions of the regency and changes
Of policy, there was an English lord
chancellor who trimmed his sails to
the doctors bulletins. He was poll
tician of type with which we are all
too familiar He heard one day that
the king was better and would resume
the reins of Office, and he made an I'M
FASHIONED speech against the regency
in the house of lords. In his perora-
ton he cried, Il cannot forget all that
/ owe to the bounty Of my gracious
sovereign; and when forget him. may
my God forget mel" He was impressed
with the magnihcence OF his own ora
tory. and could not refrain from re-
peating the last phrase to John Wilkes,
whom he met in Westminster hall aft
or the debate. Forget you'll" said
Wilkes. He'll see you damned FIRST"

COMBATING the chInner.

The chigger is red. six-legged mite
so small that 1t can scarcely be seen
with the naked eye. In certain locali-
ties all over the corn belt 1t is abun-
dant from the middle of June until late
in August. It seems to be especially
common In wood land and on berry
bushes. 1t is naturally vegetarian, and
when It causes pain to chickens and
children, 1t is not because it Is search
ing for blood. In fact, entomologists
tell us that the chiggers which burrow
into the skin, causing red welts, be-
cause Of the poison which they ex-
crete, by so doing destroy themselves.
No very effective method Of combat
ing the pest has yet been devised.
Washing in hot water and then apply
ing kerosene to the affected parts will
do some good. Another good wash is

acid In fifty or one hundred parts Of

employed a turtle to build shed for
me. He arrived each morning from
10 to 46 minutes after beginning time,
quit for noon at like period prior
to the customary hour, arrived late
after his frugal repast, and yawned
and called 1t a day before he was due
to do so. During the intervals when
he was lingering around he communed
with other turtles who came and hung
about, deriding my favorite style Of
ehed, and laid of now and then to
eat q watermelon with them. Once
he fancied there was a fire away on
somewhere and went to see. Several
times he either felt a strange illness
stealing over him or thought he was
going to feel one and sat down in
the shade until he recovered. When
he worked at all he drove an occa-
sional nail, deftly interspersed with
borrowing tobacco from the other tur-
ties, dropping his tools and climbing
down after them and forgetting for a
space to climb back up again and ar
guing about the hellish way in which
the poor are growing poorer and the
rich growing fatter Finally, having
sufficient wages coming to him to en-

Arranging Flowers.

To arrange flowers the best way
take a lesson from the fields. woods
or garden where you find them grow
ing. Where red and white clover,
daisies and grasses are found. arrange
them In a loose bouquet to look just
as they grew; and. as these are unpre-
tentious flowers. do not put them In a
glass vase, but rather choose an or
binary vessel-a brown unglazed pot,
q gray Chinese ginger Jar or an earth
On crock. The effect viii be artistic.
Indeed. the finding of exactly the right
vessel for every flower Is a delightful
study, just as well as to the proper ar
rangsment Of the flowers themselves.
