JUST A GENERAL NUISANCE
Dat Smudge, or Dat Louise, One of the
Most Annoying Small Things
in the Universe.

The oat louise has no wings, and vet
it flies through the air, borne on the
gentle breezes which watt over the
fields. It has no legs, and yet it ad.
heres to the flesh of man with q deyo.
ton that is inspiring. Some persons
call it the oat smudge, but most per-
sons call it by some harder name.
A fine way to accumulate the tribe
is to take trolley trip near fields
where the honest husbandman has
been garnering his crops. There the
oat lice, which are about the size of
overgrown black fleas, fill the air quite
numerously.
After such ride they can be found
adhering to the arms and face with
a small sprinkling down the neck, At
heart they are innocent young things,
neither biting nor singing, and vet,
because OF their peculiar rolling mo-
ton, they are ticklish little devils. So
people shake them off.
The particular niche in nature filled
by oat lice is not quite clear, so it is
quite reasonable to assume that they
nave been set apart to Offset the mani.
fold JOYS of the suburbanite.
