the Times 1t realizes the delicacies vi
the problem, however.
1T is useless to try to defeat science
with the bludgeons and blunderbusses OF

tives must arm themselves with more
modern weapons. Fortunately MI.
Bridges combines with the sensitiveness
of a man of letters a thorough acquaint-
ance with the methods of the new

question shows that he neither sits by
the shores OF speech as a disinterested

the question is an esthetic as well as \

the qualities that make that beauty, and
to try to preserve them The belief that
phonetic decay can not be checked, that

clares to be a doctrinaire notion, and he
is OF the opinion that efforts OF this kind.

In Spite of the Bugs We sure 40
Raise the Crops.
(By Walt Mason

|
The chinchbugs chew the corn and
wheat, which keeps the farmer
fiinching; and though he knows just
where they eat, he cannot stop their
chinching. If he should buy load
of drugs and try to ease his sorrow,
by killing off ten million bugs,
there'd be far more tomorrow. And
SO he feels his misfortune's pinch,
and groans beneath the pinchers,
and lets the bugs go on and chinch
with their back action chinchers,
The cutworms kill the wheat and
corn with double action cutters; the
farmer leaves his house at morn, and
views his fields, and mutters some
language of magenta tint, which
here must be omitted; it wouldn't
make a hit in print-for children
'tisn't fitted. He goes to town to
get relief by drinking soda fixes,
and while he tells about his grief,
the cutworms WELD their scissors.
This sort of thing we hear each
spring, and oftimes we wonder that
crops are raised at all, by jing, since
they're all knocked to thunder. The
farmers in the fall, indeed bring in
their loaded wagons; no consolation
do they need, no comforting with
flagcns. So let the humble cutworm
cut, the chinchbug do it's carving;
they doubtless are a nuisance but
the farmers are not starving.
