of he community, who who was was also also well well
hnrn and hy which marriage two of
the most prominent families of this
,“tion natural were united advantages and were with looked their
tnanv of their town. Within
non as leadeVs
a short time after their marriage their
first child was born and was named
Miss School Building. All the neighbors
made much a do over this baby, and
netted her and thought in her they had
another leader, but before she reached
voung womanhood she was cut down,
her death being caused by fire. This
was a source of great sorrow to her pa¬
rents and her relatives and friends,
and caused much grief but before very
long another child was born and she
was very much like her sister, and her
parents decided to name her Miss
School Bfiiiding the 2nd, and this child
blossomed into one of the brightest
girls the town had ever known and just
as she was beginning to show the town
what a great advantage she was to
them, she caught fire one night and in
spite of the efforts of her friends to
save her she departed this life. Then
there was more sorrow in this little
town (yet there was some that said it
is no matter for her, we didn’t need
her here anyway with her advanced
ideas and style and stuck up airs- but
most of the thinking people were
heavy of heart, and knew that in her
passing they had suffered a great loss,
and was beginning to become '* very
much discouraged, but Mr. and Mrs.
Civic Pride, in a short time surprised
the natives with the announcement of
the birth of another girl, and although
it seemed like an ill omen to name this
fair child after her two deceased sisters
the parents were strong folks and
didn't believe in luck and thus ehirs
tened this little babe, Miss School
Building the 3rd, and although a large
number of soap box warmers around
the corner stores predicted her down¬
fall and a number of wagging tongues
said over the garden fence to their
neighbors (that pert young miss will
soon go the way her sisters did, with
her powdered nose, stuck-up ways,
and it will be a good thing for the
town too, when she does the old log
school house with the blue back speller
is good enough for us, and it wont
take her parents long to find out that
it is good enough for her too- but to
this crowds surprise, that little Mis*
grew into a beautiful young woman,
and about the time of her graduation
her parents presented her with a
beautiful dress of equipment in the na¬
ture of an addition to the building,
cause you see she had outgrown her
clothes.
In the meantime Mr. and Mrs. Civic
Pride were working day and night to do
something for their friends, lots of
times their friends in their misguided
judgment would throw obstacles in
their way but they were strong of
heart and would not acknowledge de¬
feat, so pretty soon they decided that
for their child to properly study her
lessons she must have proper lights, so
a fourth child was born and they nam¬
ed this child little Master Electric
Lights and a bright little boy he was
always ready to shed his rays of light
for those around him, and his coming
made even the grandparents glad for
they could read without their glasses,
but some said; Who ever saw such
stuck-up folks as that Mr. and Mrs.
uvie Pride, anybody with horse sense
knows that a tallow candle is good
enough for anybody to read by, but the
majority of the folks was proud of
• laster Electric Lights, and they gave
mm much encouragement and he grew
a useful citizen and is still to this
ery day shedding his rays of gladness
n eli • many friends.

birth of another child and they had

much criticism by some people, some
said she was too old. some said she

grand woman, and were willing to help
her through her great ordeal, when

A NEW BEST.
The department of agriculture is con
tinually fighting one variety of pest or
another. It carries its experiments to
every quarter of the national territory
and issues bulletins advising the farm¬
ers, gardeners, foresters and the pub¬
lic in general upon the best and most
efficient methods of fighting all injuri¬
ous pests.
Now there appears a new form of
#
pest that does not come within tly ju¬
risdiction of the department of agri¬
culture or any other department that
can at present devise means for the
eradication of the pest that is doing
a world of damage to shipping; threat¬
ening the great wooden fleet of the
United States with destruction, tho
piers and. wharfs of the entire country
with damage. It is a little worm that
lives in the sea and carries on its de¬
structive work beneath the surface of
the water and near the ground or bot¬
tom of the sea.
,The little worm is but a few inches
in length, yet it is more deadly than
the submarine or the torpedo, and has
done more damage to ships and har¬
bor structures than either of the mon¬
sters of human construction, and it is
breeding with such incredible rapidity
in American waters that the National
Research Council and Engineering
Foundation has organized committees
in all the principle ports to fight its
ravages.
This pest is the ship-worm, a danger¬
ous little sea-serpent, is creating great¬
er havoc among shipping than any¬
thing except w'ar-time activities. The
worm grows from a few inches to three
feet in length and is known as the
teredo. It has a long soft body and a
head armed with rash-like teeth that
cut w'ood like circular saw's. It attach¬
es itself by its head to the bottom < f
a ship or to the piling of piers and
then its deadly w'ork begins. It burrows
into the w’ood. As many os 100,000 jf
them have been found in a single heavy
plank, and they completely riddle a
piece of timber 20 inches thick in sbv
months. They are most numerous in
the w'arm seas but extend all along
the Atlantic coast as far north as
Maine, and up the Pacific coast to
Alaska. How' to successfully combat
them is still a mystery.

Mates, for the Northern District of
