Every one Interested in the destruc- tion of the army worm pest is being re- quested by the United States depart- ment of agriculture to look out for army worm moths with one artificially colored wing. The department's ento- mologists are catching army worm moths where they are plentiful, color ing one wing of each and then liberat- ing them in the same territory, so that they may determine whether these moths fly directly west or north and how quickly and far they will spread. A better knowledge of the habits of this pest should enable the department to control its spread. No moths are to be let loose where their liberation could possibly add to the natural damage. The moths have shown themselves in Virginia and in Maryland, and the de- partment’'s agents are catching speci mens at Portsmouth and Charlottes ville, in Virginia. and Hagerstown, in Maryland. The agents at Portsmouth are applying a red stain to one wing of each specimen caught. those at Char- lottesville a black or yellow stain and those at Hagerstown a violet color. Then the moths are left to follow the natural course they would have pur sued. “Look for the army worm moth with a colored wing,” the department's bureau of entomology is advising its agents east of the Mississippl. Ang one observing a marked specimen will aid In the campaign by reporting the fact to the bureau of entomelagy. THE ARMY WORM MOTH. Washington. When its presence hae been noted the moth should be de- stroyed. The wings of the army worm moth when outspread measure about one and a half inches from tip to tip. The body is about half this length. The general shape of the moth with its wings outspread is triangular. The moths will hover about the lights in the evening. On farms they will be found on the outside of screens and doors at night. They will probably not be observed in the daytime. On dark, hot, close nights, such as precede thunderstorms, they will probably be especially noticeable. The army worm pest has caused con- siderable damage to the crops and lawns during the summer throughout the northern United States east of the Mississippi The worms are only now disappearing In wmorthern Maine and Michigan which were probably hatch ed from the eggs of moths migrating from more southern parts of the coun try. With the additional knowledge that this experiment will give. the department hopes to control the spread of the pest more completely in coming years.

This induced him to go into the business himself. He knew the north:and 'south Atlantic, their winds, their currents, their periods of storms. thelr fogs and protriicted calms. . But the Pacific was’ to him an Jmexplored tract. : None of his officers had had any more experience in the Pacific than the captain. but one of them had heard from sailors who had spent mash time on ‘it ‘that many of those imdica- tions which foretold a change of weather were different from those on the Atlantic... The captain, whe" haa alla Britisher’'s: confidence in himself, scouted the idea ‘that a man who knew the Atlantic had anything to learn on the ‘Pacific, and a8 man who rules a pirate ship is tot to be’ contradicted. While ‘approaching: the Marquesas islands Ricketts fell in: with a ship which be appropriated and compelled: the; crew to. walk.the plank. There was a gentleman. aboard .from: the col- ony.of New York named Fletcher, with. his wife and. daughter, and being Brit. ish . subjects, Ricketts concluded to spare them. There was also a young sailor, Dargan, ‘whose “yigorous appear, ance pleased the captain, and he bim his 1ife.on condition’ that he nF the piraté. crew. “Dargan was Lan American, but all his time was: spent at sea in voydges between the East Indies and Philadelphia. Dargan, by pretending to sympathize with the pirates and on account of a masterful way he had with him, ac quired an influence over the pirate crew. The captain was a tyrant, and the men hated him. Nevertheless they were ignorant of navigation, a knowl- edge their captain possessed, and re- quired his superior intelligence to keep them from being swung at the end of a rope For these reasons Ricketts maintained his ascendancy and felt so confident in it that he did not notice the influence Dargan was gaining over them. One afternoon Ricketts was pacing the quarterdeck, now and again sweep- ing the horizon with his glass in search of prey, when he heard a voice amid- ships sing out in stentorian tones: “Man the weather braces!” The eaptain turned with a scowl to see who except himself dared give an order on the ship he command- ed and saw Dargan end the men running for the braces. BeSeso BR. etts could recover from his anger amd collect his faculties the braces were manned and the sailors steed ready for the next order. “Drop those braces!” criad the cap tain in a fury. “Hold the braces,” calmly, but firmly. Every man’s face turned from Dar gan to Ricketts. A few dropped the braces; the rest held them. Whipping a pistol from his belt, the commander fired a shot at Dargan which grazed his cheek. “There’s a hurricane coming, men,” said Dargan. “If you drgp the braces we are lost.” This steadied the men amazingly. The captain's pistol contained but one ball, so he could not fire another. The wind suddenly dropped, and the sails flapped. Ricketts looked at the water to leeward and saw a black line com- 3d said Dargana “Haul taut! Haul, every man of yon, for your lives!” cried Dargan. The yards swung round so as to take i the coming wind. Then suddenly the stillness was broken by shrieks in the rigging above, and the pirate ship ca- reened till the water poured over the lee gunwale. The crew clung to what they could catch; the captain was pitch- ed against the rail and lay still with a broken leg. The storm was over in a few min- utes, and the sun came out, a harbinger of changed conditions for the pirate ship. Dargan, who was obeyed as commander, agreed with the crew that if they would assent to taking the ship into port he would secure a pardon for every man except the captain. A course was then laid to New Zealand, where a surrender was made. The New Yorker and his family supported Dar- gan’s story, the crew were pardoned, and the capfain was hanged to the yardarm. . Who Good wate or When Mr. Fletcher found a ship to take him and his family to New York, so grateful was he to Dargan for the ! work which had been instrumental in saving all their lives that he invited hia to go with them. Fletcher was a China merchant and owned ships. He offered Darcan the command of one of them dargan accepted the invita- ¢ tion and the offer. He finally married Miss Fletcher and became a large ship- | swner. | THANKSGIVING ODE ' OF THE OLDEN TIME Poet In the Quaint Phraseology of Centuries Ago Expressed Qratjfude | + for. the Kindness. of “the Creatory| Frama *Thankfule Hear,” : Hee Rat ony fli— + “ORD; Thou" hast given me a cell, Wherein to dwell; A little house, whose, humble roof ED PF ‘hich 1 lle ‘Under the sparres of wi .

LET US ALL GIVE THANKS Season fs & Time to Be Glad, and to Make Others Around Us Par- : take of Our Joy. Let us make this the Ga Thunhe giving of our lives. Remember our gratitude is not measured by the size of the family larder. Abundance tends to contentment, but many a man in limited circumstances is hap- pier than others of larger means. Real wealth and worth lies not in the abundance a man hath, but in content- ment’s gold. When the heart is full the whole world is richer. Your smile will go a long way toward making someone else happy. A cheerful life opens avenues to future achievement hidden to him who sees no good around him. The past is a matter of record, the present is near and real, the future is limited only by yourself. Make it all it can be, and history will add a new chapter, and you will be the hero. Let us give thanks. The nation needs the inspiration of your song. There are plenty of groans and grunts and growls. We need more song. It hain’t no use to grumble and complain; It’s just as cheap and easy to rejoice. You will feel more manly by being glad. It adds to your self-respect and makes you feel that you lave a place in the world. Inspire your age with a new type of chivalry. Meet drones and kickers with a smile and you will do much to bring in the good time that is to be. Wherever you are let this be a real period of thanksgiving. Let us see if we cannot add to the world’s joy by the spirit of our cwn living. Universal Day of Thanks. About the institution of Thanksgiv- ing as it exists today there is noth- ing sectarian or sectional, but over the entire Union the day is observed by all Americans alike as the time for family reunion, good cheer and gen- eral rejoicing and gratitude.

Ee a a a a INSTINCT TO RETURN THANKS { Feeling That Is Universal Among Man- kind—Has Root In Knowledge of Dependence. The impulse to return thanks for the bounty of nature has been prac- tically universal among mankind in all ages and in all religions. It is as natural as the instinct that inspires that springs unbidden to the lips of Relp can do no more. It is a coincidence worthy of thought that the one nation which set aside a day for national thanksgiving should be the people above all others most blessed with peace and prosper- ity. Grumble as we may at the short- comings of our civilization, however we may think our affairs should be ordered better, we should reflect that at no time in the history of the race has there been a people in possession of greater advantages, of more gener- ally diffused abundance, with more encouraging prospects than ourselves. The problems that confront us are in our own hands. We will solve them eventually and others as they arise. We may stumble, may mistake the path, may be compelled to turn back to get on the right road, but of our ultimate progress there can be no doubt. Let, therefore, each for himself and herself, return individual thanks to day.

To leave the word of God and serve ta- bles; to subordinate salvation to social service; to substitute phi}-.. anthropy for piety; is a weak- ness of the flesh, a compromise with the world, a concession to the devil. This is the “passing of faith;" this is the “decadence of the ministry;” this is “mate- rialism in the church.” This is to give up, to surrender to the clamor of those who believe mis- takenly that man can live by bread alone. To make a church a religion- less mixture of civil service re- forms, debating societies, gym- nasium contests, oyster sup- pers, ice cream festivals, ster- eopticon lectures, good advice, coal saving funds, sight singing and dramatic entertainments is certainly not to seek first the kingdom of God and his right- eousness.—Rev. David M. Steele, Philadelphia. TEARS, IDLE TEARS. Tears, idle tears, I. know not . what they mean.
