Under the second empire bores were

member OF which was bound to come

of distress was given by unobtrusively
scratching the side Of ones nose. and q
colleague on seeing this was expected
to intervene and deliver his friend from
captivity.
The society was SO useful and 30 pop

that 1t dourished exceedingly for
many years and grew rich In members
and subscriptions. Among its mem
bers was the veteran journalist Ernest
Blum. who, however. was rather clum-
~ at his work. He used to relate the
following story:

them and took OF my hat to him,

INSECT ENEMIES OF MANKIND
Most Of the Species Known to Science
Do lncaIcuIable Harm During
Their Short Lives.

Our instinct to kill insects is per-
fectly sound. Out of the quarter Of a
million species now known to science
mere handful are even remotely
helpful to man, and most of these only
by their power of living upon other
and more dangerous insects. On the
other hand, thousands of species are
actively hostile to man, to his food
plants and to his domestic animals.
Whole tribes have been swept out Of
existence by the attack of insects car
rying bacilli-as within the last two
decades, in Central Africa.by the dread
sleeping sickness" carried by the
tsetse fly. Whole nations have been
weakened and crippled and whole civ
ilizations retarded by another insect
borne disease, malaria.
Indeed, recent investigators have
advanced the theory that the historic
decline of both Greece and Rome was
largely due to the ravages of this dis
ease, brought into Europe by armies
returning from wars In Asia and ART
ca. 1t may yet come, when we see
things in their true perspective, that
the warriors of civilized nations viii
turn from slaughtering one another
to battling against our insect enemies.

FOR CUPID's VICTIMS
AAgony Editor" Gives Advice but
Fails to Live Up to His
Own Principles.
Rx Il. MI EGRERr.


| Miss Alice Kent was the brightest
newspaper woman on any OF the met
ropolitan dailies. Everybody admit
ted that. and besides, Mclaughlin
who was on the copy desk, told her
that he had heard the city editor say
80. Perhaps he was prejudiced in her
favor, but his words came to her
spirit as balm and nectar at a period
when life seemed like a black tunnel
stretching away and away until Miss
Mayhem came back.
1t was not that Miss Kent had be-
come distrustful of her powers, or
blase. No, there was a deeper rea-
son. Miss Agnes Mayhem, who gave
advice to distracted lovers in two
half-columns every afternoon, had
been called home to Ohio on account
of her mothers Illness, and the worst
of it was that she had just got to the
bottom of her basket Those lovers
who had, presumably, been waiting
through many dreary days to find the
answers which should solve their
own peculiar and unparalleled prob
lens. had all been answered.
I'm sorry. my dear" Miss Mayhem
said to Miss Kent. She had grown SO
accustomed to the use of endear-
ments to her newspaper correspond
ents that she used these forms of ad-
dress in daily life also. I'm sorry,
my dear. but l guess you'll know
how to fix it. You'll find a bunch of
forms to meet all ordinary cases in
the top left-hand drawer. And If any
unusually delicate problem arises, use
your common sense or wait till I get
home. Goodbye. my dearest child,
and If you need my help badly send
me special delivery letter to Hicks
Vile"
That was why Miss Kent felt dis
consulate. She had been taken off
her reporters job and set to answer
ing the imbecilities Of Cupid's vic
tins. She let the letters accumulate,
and by the third day she had quite
