If a newspaper would advocate that
our highways be given over to cor
porations to operate, its subscribers
would want to run the editor out of
the county, but when the same news
paper advocates state or federal own
ership of railroads, it is called an agi-
tator or Socialist sheet. The only
difference is the highways have ruts
and the railroads rails.-Oregon City
Courier.
There is much more difference be-
tween the railroads than above stated,
if not and the railroads were run on the
same plan that the highways are now
operated, and every person could pro-
vide his own carriage and wagon
and use the road at pleasure, without
money and without price, who would
derive the most benefit, and who
would take the sideing and wal. for
the other fellow.

An Old Caddie,s Retort.

He is an old caddie on an east coast
course, and being a noted figure on the
links he endeavors as far as possible
to caddie only for thoroughly efficient
golfers. Occasionally. however, he finds
himself accompanying a "foozler," an6
on these occasions his dignity is in
jured.
One day recently he found himself
caddying to an old gentleman whc
was out, clearly, more for exercise
than for the love Of the game and who
was playing shocking golf.
By the time the twelfth hole was
reached he had been in most of the
bunkers en- route and had succeeded in
breaking a club. 81 think I shall give
up this hole" he remarked at last tC
his indignant caddie. INA, na." re
torted the old worthy bitterly; "feen
ish the course, sir-feenish the course
Ye've gotten other four clubs to smash
yet an nine bunkers tae dae it in!'-

European NOSTALGIA For West Africa.

There is a wonderful charm about
West Africa, says Major Tremearne
in "Some Austral-African Notes and
Anecdotes" which few Europeans can
throw off. Then he tells of man
who, after living for ten consecutive
years in lonely part of southern Nj
geria, made up his mind to have trip
home and sailed away in splendid spir-
its.
The Gold Coast ports were part Of
West Africa, and so he managed to
make himself fairly at home while
there. though the life on board ship
was already beginning to bore him,
and he wished that he had never left
Nigeria. Sierra Leone he did not like
at all, as it was not the West Africa
which appealed to him, and he began
to long for his home In the bush. Aft
er leaving that port and with no sight
of land to cheer him he became des'
pera,e, and on arrival at Las Palmas
he declared: 81 shall go no farther.
must return at once have had quite
enough of Europe"

HOW TO FIGHT wASPS

HERE'S a way to fight wasps that is COM
= monty practised by government engi-
neers when out surveying:
On the government surveys the usual
method of getting big wasp nest out of the
line is to set fire to some moss placed in the
fork of a long limb, and thus burn the nest
up. The wasps fly madly out in practically
straight lines, and all the men fall down on
the ground.
Recently however, to the surprise of the
engineers in charge of a survey, a native
woodsrnan showed far easier and much
more peculiar method. He took the long
machete. or knife used in chopping small
trees and underbrush, and rubbed the blade
of it under his arm backward and forward
few times, and then placed it quickly on the
bottom of the nest. Then an astounding
thing happened,-al1 the wasps seemed
seized with panic and flew quickly away.
The odor of human perspiration seemed to
have greater effect on them than the smoke
Of course it is well known fact that to
some animals the odors of other animals are
unbearable: even different races of men
have their distinctive odors, and some are
unpleasant to Others. 1t is safe to assume
that the odor of man to the wasp is as un-
bearable as the odor of the skunk to man.
Anyhow, this method of fighting wasps has
been adopted almost to the exclusion of
previous methods by the particular engineer
who saw the safe and sure effect of its trial;
but it takes some little nerve to do it.

AT quarter to six Thomas returned to the
house, laden with fat bundles which
he hurried secretly to his room. He had
never worn a dress suit. He had often guile
lessly dreamed of possessing one,-between
paragraphs, as another young man might
have dreamed of vanquishing rival. 1t is
inborn that we should wish to appear well
in public, to better ones condition, or next
best, to make the public believe one has.
Thomas was deeply observant and quickly
adaptive. Between the man who goes to
school aUiM books and the man who goes to
school in books there is wide difference.
What we are forced to learn seldom lifts us
above the ordinary; what we learn by in
clination plows our fields and reaps our har-
vests. 1t is as natural as breathing that we
should like our tonics, mental as well as
physical, sugar coated.
Thomas had never worn dress suit; but
in the matter of collars and cravats and
shirts he knew the last word. But why
should he wish to wear that mournfully con-
ventional suit in which we are supposed to
enjoy ourselves? She had told him not to
bother about dress. Was it that very nom
sense he dreaded, insidiously attacking the
redoubts of his commonsense?
That evening at dinner neither Kitty nor
her mother appeared to notice the change.
This gratfied him. He knew that outwardly
there was nothing left to desire or attain.
Kitty began to talk about the romance
Immediately. She had found the beginning
very exciting. 1t was out of the usual run of
stories; and if it was all as good as the first
part, there would be some editors glad to
get hold of it. So much for the confidence
of youth. "The Black Neil," as l have
reason to know, hes at the bottom of
Thomas's ancient trunk.
Long as he lived he would never forget
the enjoyment of that night. The electric
signs along Broadway interested him in
tensely. He babbled about them boyishly.
Theater outside and theater within, great
drama of light and shadow, of comedy and
tragedy; for he gazed upon the scene with
all his poets eyes. He enjoyed the opera,
the color and music, the propinquity Of
Kitty. Sometimes their shoulders touched;
the indefnable perfume of her hair thrilled
him.
Kitty had seen all these things so many
times that she no longer experienced en-
thusiaSm; but his was SO genuine, SO un-
English, that she found it impossible to es-
cape the contagion. She did not bubble
over, however: on the contrary, she sat
through the performance strangely SUBJ =
dued, dimly alarmed over what she had
done.
As they were leaving the lobby of the
"A theater man bumped against Thom-
as, quite accidentally. Il beg your pardon."
said the stranger, politely raising his hat and
passing on.
Thomas's hand went clumsily to his own
hat, which he fumbled and dropped and ran
after frantically across the mosaic flooring.
Aghost-yes, Sir, Thomas had seen a ghost!
