SEASON OF THE CHIGGER

I'M HE chigger is in the woods and
in every other place in the coun-
q try. He Is watchfully waiting
very watchfully wait1ng-for anything
in the flesh h-and blood line that walks
his way. The toughest man has no
leather boots and thick yarn stockings,
a wooden shirt and buckskin trousers,
and he will attack you. Having got
YOU in his clutches he will prospect
your anatomy until he finds a palatable
place to rest, and to his mind the de-
sira BILE locations seem to be an ankle,
a knee joint, an armpit or an elbow
joint.
But il he should fail to serve him.
self with one of these, he will make a
hearty meal, and perhaps merry meal
to him, off coarser meat. 1t may be
that to himself he says, II must eat to
live, and 1t is chigger nature. just as
1t is human nature, to provide myself
with the best food the market Affords"
The chigger has various aliases, but
he Is as bloodthlrsty and as meat
hungry under one name as under an
other BY any other name than CHG
ger his bite Is just as hard. Sometimes
he Is called the jigger and to some
folk his name Is red-bug or sea-tick,
but when he gets you there will be
other things for you to think of be-
sides the correct method of addressing
him Perhaps you will think of him i'll
no fattering way and may call him
names which in normal times you

would not use. But strong and em-
phatfc language Is sometimes required
for the adequate expression OF ones
opinion of the chigger.
Immediately after taking up stra-
tegic position on you he begins to
intrench. Very often he will seize you
and seek to make himself secure from
attack and observation by crawling
into the pores of the skin or the larger
sweat tubes. In some folk the tubes
are smaller and crookeder than in 9TH
er persons. but this, though it may de-
lay the progress of the chigger, will
not discourage him. The more he finds
1t necessary to dig. the more indus
triously he will dig. The fact that
such digging may cause Inconvenience
to you Is not matter of very lively
concern to the chigger. He will ignore
your objections.
Another fact to be borne in mind by
men and women is that the chigger.
like other troubles, does not come
singly but in battalions; his name Is
legion. Who're one of them is others
are. He is a gregarious fellow and is
more apt to attack in mass than in
thin lines. Here and there may be a
lone bandit among the ohiggers. but
generally he is gangster and has his
ruffian band close beside him. In his
articles of war there is no such thing
as fair play If you should speak to
him about Geneva or The Hague con-

of sounding the colors, both morning
and evening, is required to face the

In the navy when an officer or en-
listed man comes up the gangway to
the quarter deck or "over the side,' to
use naval parlance. he is required to

The garrison flag is the largest made.
II has a fly of thirty-eight feet and a
hoist of twenty feet, which means that
it is thirty eight feet long and twenty
feet wide. This flag is furnished only
to special posts and is hoisted only on
holidays and special occasions. 1t is
one of such types of flags that is flown
daily from the central mast in front of
the Union station, and this is the only
place in the country where the majes-
tic emblem is flown every day.
