As I was passing over from one
side of the public square to the
other one day last week, I heard a
drummer ask another knigb
the grip this question: “Why on
earth doesn’t this town keep its
street crossings clean? If the
city is unable to keep all of the
different streets in a proper con
dition, it could surely keep the
crossings on the main thorough
fares in such a fix that a person
could go from one sidewalk to an
other without having to pay the

There has been bad blood between

this was spilled in the fight last
Sunday afternoon.

Cringes Under Criticism
A Washington dispatch says
President Roosevelt has talked
about the negro question to nearly
everybody who has come to see
1 im, and the impression conveyed
is that he is considerably upset
about th6 attacks which have been
made upon him in the Southern
papers. He was particularly ag
grieved at the editorials criticising
him because sotoe negro woman
were invited to reception at the
White House the other evening.
One of the Southern papers has
printed a cartoon representing the
President as introducing several
big negro women to the foreign
ambassadors, the whole party bow
ing and expressing delight at
meeting them. Many others papers
have printed editorials ' asserting
that no Southern man can afford
to associate with the President.
The President does not enjoy
this criticism.
Destroying Insects.
Bits of raw cotton or wadding
saturated with the oil of penny
royal, and placed in corners, on
closet shelves and in boxes or
drawers, will drive away several
kinds ot objectionable msfots,
cockroaches, ants, etc. Placed in
a saucer m the windows it will
help drive away flies. I have been
told that it does so completely.
Saturated pads ot the pennyroyal
placed between the mattress and
around the bed will drive away the
plague not given in the list of those
with which Egypt was scourged
for her sins. For this dreadful
pest another excellent preventive
and cure is an application to in
fested places of equal parts of ker
osene and spirits of turpentine.
Put the solution in the joints and
cracks of bed, about the surface
and in any other places where the
insects have found lodgment, and
ill all cracks with hard soap that
can be so treated. This is an old
-fashioned and reliable remedy.-
