It is No Wonder that Farm ers Daughters Elope With City Dudes, a:.d Their Brothers Join the Army. The farmer sowed a field to wheat, and thought a fortuue he would make, until the green bugs gut so thick, he knew his wheat crop was a fake. He ploughed the land planted corn and tended it with might and main, and said "I think I'll get a crop if only we can have some rain." But when the corn was up knee high and growing taller every day, the hungry chinch bugs did appear and with the corn crop soon made way. "Tis early yet' the farmer said, "to kaffir I will plant the field, and maybe 'ere the early frost it will produce a handsome yield." The-' krffir grew despite the drouth and caused the farmer's smile to spread, and as he viewed the prospect grand, he rubbed his hands in glee and said: '"Tis kaffi r I will plant next year, and liquidate my debts with ease. " But as he spoke, the army worms moved on the field like swarms of bees. The web worms bound the top leaves up to make des destruction - truction destruction more complete; so the farmer turned the ground again and said "Once more, I'll try some wheat." Through sun and rain and burning blast the cotton stalks grew tall and rapk, until their owner said "Good wife, we'll yet have money in the bank. This staple we wiU plant next year on every acre we po po-sess - sess po-sess and when we pay the mort mortgage - gage mortgage off, dear wife, you'll get a new silk dress." But while they dreamed of coroir-? wealth ten million borl worms hatched each hour irom igg wanned by tne August sun mat shea iu fierce rays on the flower. "We're ruined sure," the farmer cried. as one by one, the big bolls shed. "There's a bug for every thing we raise, and likewise bugs iú. every bed." The poor niatr" worked from morn till night the -whole long summer through and found at last, when winter came, he wouldn't have a single sou. He died that fall frorJ overwork with a bug house pad ded cell; his poor wife likewise went the trip because of dead bugs in the well. The neighbors buried them side by side within -the church yard's loiyely lot, where earth worms feed upon the mold and an ant'snest only marks the spot. The faithful dog watched o'er the' grave and ,. snaDDed at the nassincr bumble bees until he, too gave up the ghost from fighting ticks jsnd mange and fleas. And e're his carcass could have time to min mingle - gle mingle with the common clay the tumble bugs backed up to it and rolled it all away. Ex.
