Army Worm Easily RoAted

\ IATURE'S system Of checks and balances
serves to prevent one pest the so-caIled
army worm from being more than an oeca-
sional marauder in the fields Of grain.
It is, in the moth stage, fairly destructive
over much of the country East of the Rockies,
but it seldom attracts much attention except
ing in outbreaks of the larvae which march TN
myriads on grain fields. It Is this mass attack
which won it its name Of army worm.
At maturity, the worm is an inch and a half
long and is marked by stripes Of black, yellow
and green.
When it opens an attack it Is easily COM
bated by digging trenches with straight sides
in its line of march. The worms fall down
the sides of the trench and are unable to work
their way out They are easily destroyed once
they have been trapped.
Some natural fungus disease and certain
insect enemies serve to keep the army worm
from attaining to serious numbers.

THE IDYLL OF MISS SARAH BROWN

hollers. "Oh, sinner, repent before it is too
late. Join with us. sinner" he hollers, and
let us save your soul"
Naturally, this crack about me being a sinner
embarrasses me no little, as it is by no means
true. and it is a good thing for the Sky there
is no copper in me, or will go to Mrs. SKY,
who is always Dragging about how she wins
the Skys soul. by outplaying him at his own
game, and tell her the truth
And the truth is that the dice with which
she wins the Sky's SOUL and which are the
same dice with which Brandy Bottle Bates
wins all his potatoes, are strictly phony, and
that she gets into Nathan Detroits Just IN
time to keep the Sky from killing old Brandy
Bottle.

turns to the Sky and speaks to him as follows:
Well, Sky" he says, Il will take the odds
off you on this one. know you do not want
my dough-" he says. Il know you only want
my soul for Miss Sarah Brown, and" he says,
without wishing to be fresh abcut it, I know
why you want it for her. I am young once
myself Brandy Bottle says. And you know
if I lose to you will be over there in Forty
eighth street in an hour pounding on the door,
for Brandy always settles.
But, Sky he says now am In lne money,
and my price goes up. viii you lay me 10 Gs
against my soul do not make this four?"
"Bet!" the Sky says, and right away Brandy
Bottle hits with four.
Well when word goes around that the Sky
is up at Nathan Detroit's crap game trying
to win Brandy Bottle Bates soul for Miss
Sarah Brown the excitement is practically IN
tense Somebody telephones Mindy's where
a large number of citizens are sitting around
arguing about this and that, and telling one
another how much they win bet in support OF
their arguments, if only they have something
to bet, and Mindy himself is almost killed in
the rush for the door,
One of the first guys out of Mindy's and up
to the crap game Is Regret, the horse player,
and as he comes in Brandy Bottle is looking
for a nine, and the Sky is laying him II G's
against his soul that he does not make this
nine for it seems Brandy Bottles soul keeps
getting more and more expensive.
Well, Regret wishes to bet his soul against
q G that Brandy Bottle gets his nine, and is
greatly insuted when the Sky cannot figure
his price any better than a double saw, but
finally Regret accepts this price, and Brandy
Bottle hits again.
Now many other citizens request little ac-
tion from the Sky, and If there is one thing
the Sky cannot deny citizen it is action, so
he says he will lay them according to how he
figures their word to join Miss Sarah Browns
mission if Brandy Bottle misses out, but about
this time the Sky finds he has no more pota-
toes on him. being now around IS Gs loser,
and he wishes to give markers
But Brandy Bottle says that while ordinarily
he will be pleased to extend the Sky this &C
commodation, he does not care to accept mark
ers against his soul, 50 then the Sky has to
leave the joint and go over to his hotel two or
three blocks away and get the night clerk to
open his damper so the Sky can get the rest
of his bank roll
Now the upShot of the whole business is that
Brandy Bottle hits 13 hcks IN . row, and the
last lick he makes is on a 10, and it is for
20 Gs against his SOUL with about dozen
c'NN" citizens getting anywhere from one TO

settled in North Carolina, but were ruined
financially by the Civil War. While residing
in North Carolina they married sisters.
Following the war they again returned TO

This 50 against your soul Mr. SKY. 1t is all
have b1t." she says, 1t is more than your
soul Is worth"
Well Of course. anybody can see that Miss
Sarah Brown Is doing this because she is very
angry, and wishes to make the Sky look small,
but right away the Sky's duke comes from in
side his coat and he picks up the dice and
hands them to her and speaks as follows:
Roll them" the Sky says, and Miss Sarah
Brown snatches the dice out of his hand and
gives them a quick sling on the table in such
way that anybody can see she Is not q profess
sional crap shooter.
Well, Scranton Slim is the stick guy and
he takes gander at the dice as they hit up
against the side of the table and bounce back.
and then Slim hollers, winner, winner win
ner," as stick guys love to do, and what is
showing on the dice as big as life, but q six
and five, which makes IL, no matter how you
figure, so the Sky's soul belongs to Miss Sarah
Brown.
Naturally the Sky follows Miss Brown and
Dobber. the doorman, tells me that as they
are waiting for him to unlock the door and
let them out Miss Sarah Brown turns on the
Sky and speaks to him as follows:
"You are fool" Miss Sarah Brown says
\A/EIL at this Dobber figures the Sky Is
w bound to let one go, as this seems to be
most insulting language, but instead Of letting
one 60, the Sky only smiles at Miss Sarah
Brown and says to her like this:
Why" the Sky says, Paul says, If any man
among you seemeth to be wise IN this world let
him become q fool, that he may be wise
love YOU, Miss Sarah Brown" the Sky says.
Well, now, Dobber has a pretty fair sort Of
memory, and he says that Miss Sarah Brown
tells the Sky that since he seems to know SO
much about the Bible. maybe he remembers
the second verse Of the Song Of Solomon, but
the chances are Dobber muffs the number Of
the verse, because look the matter up in one
Of these Gideon Bibles, and the verse seems q
little to much for Miss Sarah Brown, although,
of course, you never can tell.
see the Sky the other night at Forty ninth
street and Broadway, and he is with quite .
raft Of mission workers, including Mrs. Sky,
for it seems that the soul-saving business picks
up wonderfully, and the Sky is giving a big
bass drum such . hrst-class whacking that
the scat band IN the chop-suey Joint can
scarcely be heard. Furthermore. the SKY is
hollering between whacks. and never see q
guy look happier, especially when Mrs. Sky
smiles at him out Of her hundred-per- cent
eyes, But do not lmger long, because the
Sky gets q eander at me, and right away he
begins hollering:

five Cs against their souls, and complaining
bitterly Of the price,
And as Brandy Bottle makes his 10, hap
pen to look at the Sky and see him watching
Brandy with very peculiar expression ON his
face, and furthermore I see the Sky's right
hand creeping inside his coat where I know
he always packs Betsy in shoulder holster.
so can see something Is wrong somewhere.
QUT before can figure out what it is there
- is quite fuss at the door and loud talk
ing, and dolls voice, and all of sudden
in bobs nobody else but Miss Sarah Brown.
1t Is plain to be seen that she is all steamed
up about something.
She marches right up TO the crap table where
Brandy Bottle Bates and the Sky and the
other citizens are standing. and one and all
are feeling sorry for Dobber, the doorman,
thinking Of what Nathan Detroit is bound to
say to him for letting her in. The dice are
still lying On the table showing Brandy Bottle
Bates last throw, which cleans the Sky and
gives many citizens the first means they enjoy
in several months.
Well, Miss Sarah Brown looks at the Sky,
and the Sky looks at Miss Sarah Brown, and
Miss Sarah Brown looks at the citizens around
and about, and one and AL are somewhat dunn
founded. and nobody seems to be able to think
speaks up as follows:
Good evening"" the Sky says.
1T is nice evening" he says. II am trying
to win few souls for you around here, but"
he says, 7 seem to be about half out of luck"
well" Miss Sarah Brown says looking at
the Sky most severely out Of her hundred-per-
cent eyes, you are taking too much upon your
self I can win any souls need myself You
better be thinking of your own soul. BY the
way" she says, "are you risking your own soul,
or Just your money!"
Well, Of course, up to this time the Sky IS
not risking anything but his potatoes, so he
only shakes his head to Miss Sarah Browns
questions and locks somewhat disorganized.
II know something about gambling" Miss
Sarah Brown says, especially about crap
games. ought TO-" she says. 1T ruins my
poor papa and my brother Joe. II you wish to
gamble for souls, Mr.. Sky gamble for your
own soul"
Now Miss Sarah Brown opens small 'ack
leather pocketbook she is carrying In one haad,
and pulls out 81 BILL and it IS such 81 bill
as seems to have seen much service in its time.
and holding up this deuce, Miss Sarah Brown
speaks as follows:
II will gamble with you. Mr.. Sky" she says.
II will gamble with you" she says, ION the
same terms you gamble with these parties here.

Nearly Two Centuries.

1t may be that few Americans had
ever heard Of Ii Ching-Yun, but he
was q famous man in his own home
town of Kaihsien, In China. Not for
eminence in war, or art, or science
or politics, or even in business was he
celebrated. On the contrary, he does
not seem to have played at any OF
these fascinating games which engage
the attention of the rest of the world
He merely lived, and it was the enor-
nous span of his life that won him
notice. Born In 1875, he was sixty.
four at the beginning of the nineteenth
century, and might normally have been
considered elderly. But, In point OF
fact, he was just youngster In 1900
for he survived the entirety Of the
hundred years which then began. Not
only that-he managed to see approxi-
mately Q third Of the present, the
twentieth, century. Indeed, he came
within striking distance Of celebrating
his two hundredth birthday. He was
one hundred and ninety years Of
ege when he died May S.

Scientists are skeptical about such
prcdisious longevity. but perhaps their
doubts are baseless. There really i no
fixed limit of life or death. There Il
only an average, subject to incessant
change. rising or falling as conditions
alter. People, statistics attest, live
longer nowadays than they did only q
generation ago. Possibly, the ordinary
duration Of life may be increased until
almost every individual will survive
nearly two centuries. Stranger things
have happened.
Ii Ching-Yun himself attributed his
conquest 81 time to his peace Of mind.
BY attaining inward calm, Ne believed,
any person might live at least ten
decades. There can be no question
about the sanity Of the notion. Ten
sion, worry, strain and fretfulness OBJ
viously shorten q man or woman's
career. Placidity Of spirit, on the other
hand, certainly contributes to the en-
joyment of life, be it shcrt or long.
1t may be that all humanity should
aim to emulate the Kaihsien miracle.
But even for those who may not wish
to attain such antiquity his message is
important. There can be no denying
that serenity Is possession worth
having.

Egyptian Women
Progressing Steadily.
Egyptian Gazette, Alexandria. -
Egyptian women have still very far to
progress along the long and weary road
toward emancipation and 1t will prob
ably take them tens of years to reach
their goal. But there must already be
considerable number of girls who are
quite prepared for q more advanced
status than they are at present allowed.
And a large number of such girls have
been educated at the American Mission
College for Girls. The commencement
exercises and prize giving took place on
Friday afternoon, the twentieth annual
event of its kind, and each year a num-
Der of girls, well educated and we'll
trained, are set out into life. Few, one
regrets to think, find the position they
then take up at all commensurate with
their school-day ideals. But although
to certain extent their education Is
wasted. 1t must have an important in
f1uence upon the nations future. and 1t
Is only by the spread of such education
that final freedom can be won.

And the teachers-ah the teachers

suppose, on the theory that all people
with children have a perfect under

an educator, We make bold to suggest
that if new tribe Of teachers could be
