It was a grandfathers CHAIR plain, old wood

the chair they dwelt side by side In house liter
ally divided They gave up love, friendship and
social intercourse. For twenty-three years they
met every day without exchanging a word. For
twenty-three years they glowered at each other

they cooked at the same stove and ate from the

The Gregorys were of Scotch birth and came to
Wyoming valley with their father, John Gregory
when lads Of only three years The elder Greg

made his way little by little. From his meager
wages he saved something and through his skill

fact that the bulk of the estate con-

HOPPERS NOT BAD.
College Expert Says They Have Been
EXaggerated.

Manhattan. Kan. June 26-The
Seventeen year 1ocuSts,'' or cicadae,
which appeared in the eastern part of
Kansas this year are being blamed for
more damage than they are capable
of doing. Reports that this periodical
pest is eating trees and farm crops
are untrue, says George o. Greene,
Greene, hortculturist with the extern
sion division of the Kansas Agricultur-
al college, because during its brief ex-
istence above the ground the cicada
eats almost nothing. The damage is
done by the females, particularly in
young orchards, by puncturing small
twigs when eggs are laid. AS every
female lays 500 to 500 eggs, a great
deal of injury may be done in young
orchards and vineyards, If the brood
is at all numerous.
Wounds caused by the female
cicadae seldom heal readily and are
likely to leave the branches in a much
weakened condition. In many cases
the injured twigs will drop off, espe-
cially where the punctures are numer-
Gus. Very young trees and vines may
not recover. The injured wood should
be pruned off next winter, Mr.. Greene
says. Unless that is done borers and
canker producing diseases may enter
the punctures and cause more damage.
