observe the smaller creatures of the
jungle at close quarters If one lay

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Edwards
had an exciting time with a red bear.
While returning homewards after q

hill above him. His shkari tried to
dissuade him from going up after
them, as 1t was nearly dark; but he
was much too keen to accept counsel
and commenced climbing the hill.
They were soon at the spot where the
bears had been feeding, but found
that the latter had disappeared, evil

to one side, firing another shot at
close range as the beast crashed past,
without aiming or even raising his
rifle. The bullet missed its billet,
but the shot at such close range had
the effect of frightening the bear,
which continued its rush downhill.
AS he was raising his rifle for third

looked around and saw the other bear

CONTROL or coRN-EAR WORM
Insect Eats Its Way Along Within
Husk, DevourIng Young and Ten

By w. c. OKANE.)
One Of the encouraging things that
turn up occasionally in the eternal
warfare against insect pests is the fact
that some remedy or other that Is
recommended is also an ordinary fea-
ture Of good farm practice. 1t is that
way with fall plowing. Several trou-
blesome insects Of field and garden
happen to be in such location in the
late fall that we can reach them by
stirring the SOIL One or two Of them
can be fought in almost no other way.
The pest that hits the mark most
closely is the corn ear worm. When
infesting corn it eats its way along
within the husk devouring the young
and tender kernels and silk. AS II
works its way down into the ground
the worm fills the hole behind it with
soil. But once at depth Of three or
four inches it turns and makes a short
open gallery, part way to the surface.

The fruit is used in this country sole.

Asia, however, where the tree is ma

Corn-Ear Worm at Work Eating the

Then 1t retires to the bottom of this
and remains until it becomes a moth.
In the gallery the pupa Of the last
generation remains all winter. The
moth does not come out again until
next spring. Now, send a plow
through the field in late fall and you
accomplish very good results. The
pupa is buried beneath solid earth.
which later is compacted by winter
or spring rains. The moths are thus
effectually imprisoned, and never
reach the surface to lay eggs and

Where Ignorance Is Bliss.

Decisions of the United States Su.
'preme court are the most carefully
and most successfully guarded edicts
that ever issued from the government
channels in Washington, D. C. For
many years the Supreme court judges
have succeeded in guarding their de-
cisions against any ''leaks," even
though preliminary proofs are printed
for their own use.
While presidential messages, inter-
state commerce decisions and other
documents are given out in confidence
to newspapers, the Supreme court de-
cisions never come to light. New
York brokers often would pay i'm
imense sums for accurate information
as to the courts decisions in railroad
or corporation suits that may affect
the stock market; but the information
is always secured first when it falls
from the lips of the justice as he reads
the decision from the Supreme Court
bench.
With this preliminary, the feelings
of Washington newspaper CORE
spondent may be better imagined when
he got this letter from the editor Of q
Southern paper for which he CORE
sponded:
please try to get the decision in
the Jones case couple Of hours in ad.
vance 80 we can get out an extra on it.
You ought to be able to pull good
scoop out of this. Go around and see
Chief Justice White; he knows all
about the case, and If you jolly him ur
perhaps you can pry the decision loose
way ahead Of time"
No, he didn't go. - Cincinnati En-.

Kills a Rather, Sees Another One
That Escaped, and Entertains
Blacksnake in His Home for
Time.
On Friday last Fidale Gratsanger,
resident of the Cobb's Mills section
of Hoadleys, killed rattlesnake that
was of the regulation make and
carried rattles. The snake was in
the Lakeville road midway between
his house and the Clemo Club
House. 1t ratified three times be-
fore he " got " it, but Fidale
doesn't scare at sound worth
cent
Another rattler, probably the mate
of the one that was killed, was seen
previously by Fidale; but as he was
carrying an infant child in his arms
at the time, the varmint got
away.
But that isn't all. On the day
Fidale killed the rattler a big black
snake was discovered in his house,
which soon was made sorry that it
was trying to work it's way back to-
wards the land and ways of the
first garden of the world.
