She Used Her Voice.

The Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New
York has a maid with a voice. She
can yell louder than any Comanche Oh
the Warpath. Recently she let loose
her voice and bellhops and porters
rushed to her from all over the big
hosiery. In answer to her cries she
pointed to one of the rooms. "There's
LeprochauHs In there" she cried, cit.
tie devil men, with bald heads and
Whiskers, leaping over the bed in yon.
der ROOM" 'Leprochauns," cried o
porter, also from the Emerald isle, and
he devoutly crossed himself. ''Lepro-
chauns, indeed" Whimpered the maid
"There they are in there. I went In
and bless my soul, If these little devils
did not go leapin' about Iookin' for all
the world like Paddy McFadden's two
uncles over in Ballyshanon. Sure, ]
won't go in there again, job or no job"
With compressed lips and doughty
manners, the little party Of men went
into the room and then, after a sup
pressed gasp, they laughed. For gam
boiling about were two tiny marmosets.
"Pets, are they?" repeated the maid
"Well, may be they're all right, but
they look like devils just the same,
and I'll have none of them"

Why YOURLEITER
WAS NEVER
DELIVERED

Every year nearly twenty million
pieces of mail are dropped into mail
boxes either without proper postage
or improperly addressed, says the Post
masters Advocate. They find their
way into the Dead Letter Office,
whence, in spite of the wonderful de-
tective ability of the officials assigned
there, only fraction of them are ever
delivered or returned to the writer's.
Many of them are the commonplace
communications of business or family
life But thousands contain Christmas
gifts, and other thousands articles
whose value is a remarkable common
age American. "Within the past few
months stock certificates worth $780,
900 turned up in an envelope with a
defective address, and letter sent by
a great banking house and destined
for some one in Chicago was found to
contain $4,000 in checks. It bore no
address whatever.
"Of the eleven million letters which
were destroyed in the Dead Letter
Office last year, more than ten mil
lion of them would not have reached
that place, the money and articles they
contained would not have been lost,
their message Of love and friendship
would not have miscarried, and the
Post Office Department would have
been spared millions of expense-if
the writers Of them had placed re-
turn addresses on the envelopes"
This is the real moral of the Dead
Letter Office.

CONTROL An
NOUNCEMENT

Some potato growing sections of the
state are now badly infested with the
common potato bugs" The colonies
of eggs are now Matching and between
the dates of July II and July % the
active feeding stage will be in full
swing.
Haying time is now here, also, and
the rush Of this work may interfere
with potato bugging work.
Potato growers as a rule probably
realize the need of prompt work now.
The lack of good machines for cover
ing the vines promptly is especially
apparent in central Wisconsin. Many
growers, as usual, will be unable to
do the best work on account of depend
ing upon hand methods exclusively.
j. G. Milward, after an inspection
trip through the main potato belts,
reports the condition of the potato crop
excellent with the exception of bug
infestation in some sections.
The use Of Bordeaux Mixture at
this season of the year is on the in
crease in control Of the flea beetle and
to prevent arsenic burning the vines.

Wisconsin Experiment Station for

They, however, were shown into his
room TO wait, and there saw upon his
table an abusive and scurriIouS type-
written letter in German addressed to
the emperor. Then it suddenly dawned
upon them that the affable young man
might be the actual author of those
Infamous letters, about which all Ber-
lin knew and was talking. It was this
visit which, no doubt, revealed to the
baron the young mans hiding place.
Both mother and daughter, however.

next day, and watched, subsequently
learning, to their surprise that he was
the son Of General Won Trautmann.
and, further, that he had as q friend
one Of the personal Wallets of the en-
peror, from whom, no doubt, he OBJ
tanned his inside information about
persons at court.
when his father was arrested we
knew that the young man was living
in Brussels, and at once went there in
order to induce him to come forward,
make confession, and so save the gen
eral from disgrace" said the pretty
girl seated before me. "On arrival we
saw him alone, and told him what we
had discovered in the Rue de Provence,
whereupOn he admitted to US that he
had written all the letters, and an
nounced that he intended to return to
Berlin next day and give himself up
to the police in order to secure his
fathers release"
'And why did he not do 500" asked.
Because next morning he was found
dead in his bed in the hotel"
Fearing the emperor's wrath, the
Brettenbachs, like myself, dared not
reveal what they knew-the truth,
