potlto-bug story.
While on his farm in southern

with the pesh bugs.
There were colonies Of potato
bug, on every plant. They infested
the rows, ,warmel up and down the

generally monopoljzed the land

At least, that is the way the stu
alton appealed to the postmaster on
vacation, SO he went out to deal
with the situation. He found an
old nrigbbor standing in a field.
what does a fellow do about po-
tato bugs?' he asked him.
"Well, neighbor," replied fine old
farmer, "jes' take a piece Of brush
and thrash through the. rows, and

silly talk. but yours is the worst yet. You can't convince me that the day will ever come when a man with the jumping rheumatism, such as my hus- band is afflicted with. can sit down and cure himself by reading book, even if the book is endorsed by con greSsmen and justices of the peace and other dignitaries without number.
 If disease ever is baniShed from the world. have no doubt that some thing worse will come to take its place. I believe that everything in this world is here for a good purpose, even if it doesn't look that way at first glance.
 "Early this spring there was an epi- demic of measles in this neighbor- hood. and of course my little grand daughter had to come to visit me. She never comes when the health con- ditions are all that could be desired, but just as sure as there is smallpox or seven year itch or some other con- tagous disease rampant, that angel child comes to spend few days with her beloved grandmother. and she catches everything there is going.
 "She hadn't been here two days be fore she was down sick. She had more measles than I ever saw in one collection before, and her face was sight to be seen. I was inclined to murmur and repine, for I was just done with my housekeeping and was so tired l felt as though I'd like to lie down and sleep for six months, and there I was with a sick child in the house, and was to be up night and day seeing that she didn't catch cold, for if child catches cold when she has that disease. some of the measles are sure to strike in. and then she goes blind or loses her hearing or be- comes an idiot.
 "I was complaining to MT. Curfew, and saying harsh, bitter things, when a boy came to the door with tele- gram. It was from Cousin Susan, and she said she was coming on the night train with her three children to spend a week with me. She invites herself that way about once year, and l al- ways dread her coming, for her chil- dren are holy terrors, and there is no peace where they are.
 q never had good excuse for head. ing Cousin Susan off before, and she had become a nightmare to me. But on that occasion I had an excuse all ready made. I sent back a telegram saying that my granddaughter was in the house with an aggravated attack of measles, and the house was quar- antined, and a policeman with a sawed-off shotgun was guarding the approaches to the house. Of course l didn't use exactly those words. but that was the meaning of my dispatch, and Cousin Susan had to take her off, spring and unload them on her Aunt Maria, who had never suffered wis itation of that sort before.
 ''This shows that diseases have their use, and even few measles in the house are a wellspring of pleas ure, when we regard them properly with a determination to realize our blessings. So I have no use for any book that shows how to abolish dis eases, and now must disperse, for l have a hundred things to do.

To Fritz Kreisler. who comes to
Augustana gymnasium March Is, is
due entirely the splendid enlarge
ment Of the repertoire of modern
violinists. For years violinists had
been going along content to play
the the hackneyed works of mod
ern violin literature, forgetting or
ignoring the wonderful literature
that Italy gave to the world through
the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles. This early Italian music,
which is as beautifully written for
the violin as the best Italian COM
posers have written for the voices,
Kreisler sought out and revived. As
a result his programs cover q
broader field than those Of any art
list now before the public.
Seats for the. Kreisler concert
will be reserved at the Cable Music
house Tuesday morning at 8
o'clock. 1t is announced by the res
ervation committee of the Tri-City
Musical association, the organiza-
ton which is offering this treat
that each erson can reserve IL
