The Kaiser Laughed.

Among the officers who resemble
the Kaiser Wilhelm II, is young cap
tain who has a prodigious talent for
imitation.
Some months before the war this
captain found himself in hall of
the imperial palace at Potsdam. He
was there with others of his friends
who were officers, and began an imi-
tation of the kaiser with extraordi-
nary precision in tone, quality of
voice, gesture and appearance. All
at once there was terrible silence.
Wilhelm II had arrived in the hall.
The officers saluted respectfully and
remained motionless.
Very we'll, go on" said the kaiser,
addressing the captain. 81 did not
know you had this TALENT
The officer hestitated a moment,
then extending his arm and repro
ducing the intimation of his SOW
ereign, he cried in a strong voice:
Captain, you should be chased out
of the army, but in consideration of
your youth and because know you
to be a worthy and brave soldier, l
pardon you
The kaiser laughed and the cap
tain was not punished.

Just a Yaller Dog.

He's little dog, with stubby tail,
and a moth-eaten coat of tan,
And his legs are short, of the wabbly
sort; l doubt if they ever ran;
And he howls at night, while in the
broad daylight he sleeps like a
blooming log,
And he likes the feed of the gutter
breed; he's most irregular dog.
| call him Bum, and in total sum he's
all that his name implies,
For he's just tramp with a highway
stamp that culture cannot disguise;
And his friends, I've found in the
streets abound, be they urchins or
dogs or men;
Yet he sticks to me with fiendish
glee. 1t is truly beyond my ken.
talk to him when I'm lonesome-like,
and I'm sure that he understands
When he looks at me so attentively
and gently licks my hands;
Then he rubs his nose on my tailored
clothes, but l never say aughh
thereat;
For the good Lord knows I can buy
more clothes, but never a friend
like that!

Somewhat Involved.

A few days ago in the northern
part of Columbia. while an old-time
darky was lazily leaning against the
outside of grocery store, an ante
bellum negro from the country, driv-
ing a wagon loaded with chickens,
stopped in front of the store.
The city negro said, Hello, Bob,
amt got no eggs, is you?"
You didn't Ak me is l got no eggs
is you. but ak me amt l got no eggs

BIRDS ARE DISTURBED.
Much Shooting Has Disturbed the
Feathered Flock of Europe.

Even the birds have gone wrong in
Europe. Mans madness has upset
their, lives and habits and the very
few ornithologists in England and
France who can stick to their study
of birds. in spite of the war, are
scratching their heads about it, says
William G. Shepherd, United Press
correspondent in Europe.
The pathways of the birds, as they
fly to the south in winter and back
again. in the spring, have been map
ped out for years in Europe. But the
birds have forsaken their old routes
and the bird men say it is because of
the war.
Shore lights, and even the lights OF
the town, it seems, are guides for the
birds in their long southwark Jour
neys and, this year the lights are
gone. The same light that would di-
rect a little feathered fellow toward
sunny Italy would also direct huge
Zeppelin toward an English coast
town. So all the folks of the air,
whether covered with feathers or can
vas, are travelling in the dark this
year. The canvas birds can carry
their own lights, in pinch, but the
other kind must get along as best
they can, without lamps. There is
no doubt that the birds found their
way to the south, as usual, but they
groped their way, and it was prob
ably slow travelling. Their return to
the north, when spring comes, will be
as difficult.
The bird men have proved. beyond
a doubt, that the birds are disturbed
by the sounds of firing.
The Rev. Charles Kent. Of Thet-
ford, one Saturday night recently,
heard a terrific chattering of the
pheasants and small birds around his
house. There was terrific fuss in
birdlom. The cries were shrill and
wild. The birds left their beds in
the trees and flew. about in terror.
Their ears were catching sounds in
the air that the rector and family
were missing.
But, when the rector picked up the
Sunday morning paper, he saw that
the German Zeppelin had bombarded
the coast some miles away, during
the very hours of the birds excite
ment. He was so impressed that he
wrote a letter to the Times about it,
whereupon many other residents of
that part of England said that all the
birds in their neighborhoods, had
conducted themselves in the most eX-
traordinary manner during the raids,
even though the writer's, themselves.
had not been able to hear the sounds
of Shooting.
At a distance of 81 miles the pleas
ants shrieked themselves hoarse ov-
er sounds of firing.
Whether the birds will become tir-
ed of the incessant firing on the con-
tinent and impatiently leave the war
districts remains to be seen.

Monday night President Wilson
said in a speech in Philadelphia:
There is such a thing as man be-
ing too proud to fight. There is
such a thing as being so right that
it does not need to convince by force
that tits right" These remarks are
supposed to refer to the present
crisis with Germany. A close ad-
wiser of the president says that his
course is one of humanity first" ;"

rifice thousands of lives in war be-

garded previous warnings and run

Time for War on Potato Bug.

That common pest, the potato bug
is now requiring attention in South
Carolina potato fields. according to
A. F. Conradi, entomologist of Glenn
son college. For the sake of the
States spuds, he describes the meth
ods of waging war on the bug.
There are two forms of poison
used for killing the potato bug" said
Prof. Conradi. THE best is arsenate
of lead. Paris green is also eXten-
sively used. Arsenate of lead is pur-
chased in two forms, paste and pow
der. The powder is recommended
for the reason that it is is more
easily handled, cannot freeze and
cannot dry up. For large areas this
powder is used at the rate of one
pound to 80 gallons of water. In
making up arsenate of lead or Paris
green solutions always stir the poison
with little water to the thickness
of whitewash before it is added to the
bulk of the water. Paris green is
made up in the same way as arsen-
ate of lead, except that the rate is
IA pound of Paris green to 80 gal
Ions of water"
For the small family garden. says
the entomologist, arsenate of lead
powder is used at the rate of heap
ing teaspoonful to a pail Of water.
Paris green should not be sprayed on
the plants without the addition of a
little white wash to the spray. This
can be accomplished by slackening a
lump of quick lime with little warm
water and adding to it the pail Of
spray.
Arsenate of lead powder or Paris
green may be busted. For the family
garden it can be busted through a
muslin. or cheese cloth sack or
through an old tomato can with a
number of small holes punched in the
bottom. The best time to dust in
this way is in the morning when dew
is on. because then it sticks better.
Arsenate Of lead may be busted alone
without injury and for young toma-
toes should be busted at the rate Of
about / to 2 lbs. to the acre. If one
seems to be using too much of it and
has trouble, it can be mixed one half
it's weight with slaked lime and dust
ed literally.
To dust Paris green. add a tea
spoonful of Paris green to quart
of air slaked lime and mix thoroughly
and then dust on plants in the morn
ing while the dew is yet on them.
Where one desires to spray the
powder, any kind of spray pump with
a fine nozzle is satisfactory. Some
people apply the spray by means of
whisk broom and still others with
pine brush tied together. Although
crude and somewhat wasteful, this
serves the purpose in the small fami-
ly garden.
