GET AFTER SUMMER PESTS
This Is the Time to Wage Mar Against
the Deadly Fly and the An
noying Mosquito.

Let US bear in mind that one of
the prime objects OF a spring cleanup
is to eliminate the fly and the mos
quito. When we are exercising our
muscles and our ingenuity Kidding
cur dwellings and neighborhoods of
dust and filth, it will be worth our
while to give these twin winged pests
serious attention.
The first spring fly, or course, came
some time ago, though she is still
pleasantly modest and retiring. 1t is
not reassuring, however, to reflect
that the little insect is keeping care
fully out Of cur sight and the reach
OF our swatters while she lays a few
myriads of eggs, which presently will
hatch out into a whole flying regiment
Of nuisances and disease-carriers.
The shy and unobtrusive mosquito
is making the best use of her time
for the same purpose. When the open
season on human beings arrives she
hopes to have a whole army corps Of
her progeny to lead to the attack
Now is the time to get busy if we
want to preserve ourselves from the
pests few months hence. The swat
ter and the kerosene can are fully as
important household implements at
this season as the broom and the
scrubbing brush.

HAD TO RUN HUSBAND, TOO
Burden on Mistress of Farm Was Not
Lessened by the Presence of
Hubby.

a traveller was taking his dinner
one day at mountain farmhouse on
the headwaters of the Cumberland
river. and the lady of the house, who
had four children playing around the
front of the establishment, was in
clined to repine at her hard luck in
having so much work to do.
L run this here whole farm" she
said, in a tone which indicated that
she was ready to resign.
How many acres have you?" the
traveller inquired.
"A hundred and forty; twenty in
wheat, sixty in corn, ten in medder
an paster, an the balance scatterin'
an woods
Got any stock?"
Ten head Nv cattle, two COWS, six
hogs and work critters for the place.
and you run the whole business ?"
Indeed / do; every hide an hair Nv
it," she sighed.
But you have hired help?"
In course, but faint hired help that
takes the load often a body" There
was philosophy in that statement, and

next asked, with a good deal of sym
pathy.
Yes" she responded, very slowly,

1 against Peter the Hermit.
The time of the race was 2:38, a

Mr.. Duryea had great faith in his
horse, which was backed for large

COLONEL WAS READY
To DECLARE WAR;
Roosevelt Tells of Anthracite
Strike in 1902.
PREPARED TO SEND TROOPS
Former President Testified Before Ref
cree in New York Court, Where
Lawyer Is Suing J. ?. White,
Head of u. M. w. of A.

New York, May 29.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt as president was ready to
take measures equivalent to action
In time Of war" to end the great
strike in the anthracite mines in 1902.
He was determined to take action
even though an effort should be made
later to impeach him for it.
Mr.. Roosevelt SO testified before a
referee in the suit of Alexander T.
Wales, a lawyer OF Birmingham, n. Y,
against John P. White, president of
the United Mine Workers Of America,
for fees he alleges are due him for
the part he took in settling the strike
After telling Of his efforts to settle
the strike through a commission of
arbitration, which Grover Cleveland
consented to head, he continued:
i made up NY mind l would have
to take drastic action, unless the oper-
ators and miners got together. l III
tended to send in the United States
army. planned to have General Sho-
field take charge and act virtually as a
receiver for the mines. | told the
general it would be equivalent to ac-
ton taken in time of war and that
he must pay no heed to any other
authority-no heed to a writ from a
judge or anything else except my com
mands. He said he would do So"
Colonel Roosevelt said he kept his
plan secret, even from the members
Of his sabinet. The operators per
sisted in their uncompromising plan
until a change came and after many
disputes about the membership of the
commission one was appointed and
the strike ended.
Mr.. Roosevelt spared with Mr..
Wales, who conducted his own case,
when under cross-examination. Mr..
Wales frequently angered him and he
bent forward shaking his finger at
the lawyer and scowling at him. He
said he had never seen Mr.. Wales be
fore and knew nothing of any part
which the plaintiff took in settling the
strike.
