the commotion that the single locust
did in the Capitol Park. A dozen warm,
grouchy men looked up, nodded, looked
at each other and started to say things.
The locust sang blithely on and did
not seem to mind. Other reports of
the music of locusts came from other
parts of the city during the morning
and real hot weather was forecast,
notwlthstanding the fact that yester-
cay was perfectly clear and Saturday

in Philadelphia, and wanted in Edge
! field, S. c., on a charge of murder.
