THINKS THEY'RE BUGS.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-(By Mail. y
A sample of the suggestions to end
the war quickly which pour into Lord
Kitchener's mail bag was one from
an old lady from Scarborough. To
stop the frightful loss of life, she re-
commended the use of certain in
sect powder.
IF packed in shells, in place of
shrapnel," wrote the soft-hearted old
lady, "it would render the Germans
insensible and put them in our clutch

SOME RECORD.

The newspaper has made presi-
dents, killed poets; made bustles for
beauties and punished genius with
criticism. 1t has curtailed the power
of kings, converted bankers into pau
pers and graced pantry shelves. 1t
has made paupers college presidents,
it has educated the poor and robbed
the philosopher of his reason; it
smiles, cries, dies, but it can't be run
to suit everybody, and the man will
be crazy who tries.
