Lrdware Umpany,
A JUST JUDGE.
With Jury Held That Bed Bugs
Should Be Avoided.
"The .lune hug has the wings of gold
The Lightning bug the Maine:
The bed hug has not wings at all
But he gels there just the same."
Ii is not related in the "World's
Besi Poems" or elsewhere, so far
as we are advised, who wrote the
above wonderful verse but it con
tains more truih than poetry yet
its rythm is not marred.
The Standard Dictionary defines
a bed bug, under the heading "ci
mex lectularit's" and says of it:
"A cosmopolitan, blood-sucking,
wingless, depressed bug of reddish
brown color and vile odor, infest
ing houses and especially beds. Its
salivary glands secrete an irritant
alkaline substance."
That is his pen picture and
verily the artist who wrote it writ
as one who knows. The other day
in New York City that great
"human hive" where men and
women and loves and hates and
bed bugs do abound, the court was
called upon to decide whether a
bed bug or, rather countless bed
bugs, constitute "constructive
eviction" of a tenement, and the
court decided that it did. It seem
ed that a retired merchant named
Albert A. Brower had taken an
apartment in a magnificent apart
ment house which had cost $300
000 and he had been wise enough
to flee from the wrath that was
and left before his lease expired.
He was sued for the modest sum
of $200, but he came into court
and explained that the bed bugs
had evicted him and produced a
bottle in which were 104 speci
mens of the "warm it," and the
Judge and jury looked but once;
didn't take time to count 'em but
held enthusiastically that Mr.
Brower had a right to go and
would have been a fool to have
stood on the order of his going. -Everything.

ME WON THE PRIZE.
The following poetical effusion
won for its author, the editor of
ihe Rocky Mountain Call, the prize
of $ 1 ,000 for the best appeal poem
to subscribers to pay up their sub
scriptions:
"Lives of poor men oft remind us
Honest men won't stand no chance
The more we work there grow be
hind us,
Bigger patches on our pants.
On our pants once new and glossy
Now are stripes of different hue;
All because subscribers linger
And don't pay us what is due.
Then let us be up and doing;
Send in your mite, however small,
Or when the snow of winter strikes
us,
We shall have no pants at all."
HARD LUCK.
"Don't cry, Willie ! Grandpa
will play Indian with you."
"B-but yott won't do any good.
Y-you're scalped already." Ex
change. Not every young man who
smells of gasoline owns an auto
mobile. Perhaps he cleans his
own clothes.

1 SHALL GROW OLD.
I shall grow old; when the wild earth is calling
I shall sit quietly, at last, nor go
To race the quichened winds where rain is fulling
In woods I used to know.
Though I still feel the lure of wings thai flutter
Across the bayou on the edge of day,
And of the silver stream where quick fish scuiter,
I shall not go, but stay.
Yet I shall smile, and smiling shall remember
The streams I forded and the trout 1 caught,
Or the leaf-kindled fires of mild November
And the strange peace they brought.
Glory of earth in her midsummer madness,
Glory of great, grave trees and sunny sea,
The swimmer's lithe dominion won in gladness,
In youth and health set free.
I shall be glad of sunbeam and rough going,
Of weariness that found a perfect rest
Where our firm mother earth made ready, showing
Her rough and rugged breast.
I shall grow old bui memories strong and tender
Shall give me joy while earth's wild song is sung;
The great, glad earth I know, in all her splendor
With her I have been young!
Marguerite 0. B. Wilkinson in New York Independent.
UNCLE JOHN SLEEPS WITH HIS WINDOWS OPEN.
The talk turned upon a rather remarkable topic the weather and
the frost we had the night before, whereupon Uncle John opened up.
"It's mighty quare to me," he said, "why lots of folks who would raise
Cain if they had to eat spiled vittle or eat a plate of vittles somebody
else had half et it up, will still go right on sleepin' in rooms with al1
the fresh air shet out, breathin' air that's raly as badly spiled as last
month's cookin', and like as not breathin' the same air somebody else
in the same room had already used."
Here the old man stopped a minute and laughed.
"Well, I was a-saying, it's mighty quare to me now," he resumed
smiling, "but the fact is I used to be fool enough to talk about 'bad air'
myself till my youngest boy began studying some kind o' high-jeans at
school. Plain dern foolishness was what I called his new-fangled no
tions at fust, but last fall he got us to expeerymint with leavin' the win
dows h'sted in cold weather same as summer. Even then I didn't
want to give in and let on that the boy knowed more'n I did about it,
but his 'Ma just come out and said thai she was surprised how much
better she felt when she woke upo' mornin's never no headaches nor
nothin' of the kind so 1 just owned up that I felt spryer myself, and
that I was doggone glad I had a boy that was goin' to know more'n his
daddy ever did. Fact is, if some of us hadn't ever learned more'n our
daddies knowed, we'd all be plowin' with crooked sticks now and livin'
on parched corn.
"Anyhow what that boy o' mine learned out o' his books on high
jeans has got me so I'm too stuck-up to live on spiled, second hand air
any more, and I've begun to go over his lessons with him in that book
on agriculture. It's downright interestin'." The Progessive Farmer.
AH. THERE.
And Now They are Proving Man
Was Once a Bird.
A strange fossil, which some
credulous persons say was a creat
ure that was half man and half
bird, was placed on exhibition at
(he Chamber of Commerce at Bil
lings, Montana.
It was found near Fromberg in
the foothills and is composed of
the sedimentary rock of the Meso
zoic period, which has furnished
most of the geologic data on which
the Darwinian theory of evolution
is based.
The fossil is about two and a
half feet high and the head is
shaped like that of the human, with
a well developed projection of the
base of the brain, a larger forehead
ihan that of a pelican with large
projections at (he sides and the
well defined breast of a bird. Thai
(he fossil, despite its human sug
gestions, is (hat of a creature half
bird and half reptile is suggested
by students.
AN OLD ONE RETOLD.
Dinah, (he faithful colored ser
vant, had at last attained her ambi
tion. She was ihe proud pesses
sor of a husband.
"Well. Dinah," said her late
mistress, meeting her some lime
after the ceremony, "I hope you
are finding your new life all you
expected "
"Yas, mum," replied Dinah,
gleefully. "Matrimony sure am
the proper state ob life for folks,
ain't it?"
"And your husband," went on
(he lady. "Is he a good provider?"
"Yes, mum, he sure am." Then
she went on sadly: "He's a mighty
good provider, right enough, bui
I'm powful skeered thai he'sgwine
