"Well, Kitty," said young Mr. Billy
Dunn to his better half, "I'm up
against It for fair. There ain't a thing
in sight, an' that's a fact."
"Ah, now," replied Kitty in an en
couraging tone, "don't goto sayin'
that, Hilly. Sure there must be a-plen
ty o' Jobs for such a tine man as you
are yourself. An' our good clothes
still lastiu' an' you lookin' so well too.
Sure, now, go down to Steve O'Oon
nell an' ast him. lle'll know a man or
two, thut's what."
"Now I'll tell you, Billy," said Steve
O'Connell ten minutes later, leaning
comfortably across his little bar, "I
don't know. You see, it's Just after
election, an' everything's full up to the
gunnel. But now I'll tell you honest.
Hilly. I'll do soinethln' for you. 11l
Introduce you to the man that 'll Intro
duce you to the man that 'll introduce
you to the inan that's cap'n o' the pre
cinct, an' there's one chanst In a hun
derd that there'll be somethln' doin'."
The side door opened, and the tip of
a helmet was thrust into the room.
"By George!" exclaimed the bartender.
"Here's the man himself. Say, Mul
ligan." he called The helmet ad
vanet'd into the saloon with Mulligan
under it. "Say, Mulligan, you know
Mr 1 >llllll. No? Well, make yourself
acquainted with him. Mr. Dunn, Mr.
Mulligan. Mr. Mulligan, Mr. Dunn.
Mulligan." he continued, "Billy wants
to get a job out o' your office. What
11 you have? lie wants to get a Job,
an' could you oblige me as a fren'.
Mulligan, by puttin" my fren' Billy
Dunn next to the wardntan?"
"Au' I'll take great pleasure," Raid
Mulligan, smacking his lips, "In intro
ducln' to any wardman any friend o'
me friend Steve O'l'onnell. An' that'B
really elegant whisky you have on tap,
Mr. OVonnell, so It Is."
"Captain." said the wardman a day
or two later as he ushered In a well
dressed man,"this is Billy Dunn, pret
ty well known around here and a great
friend of a friend of mine. lie wants
a Job, anything you know to tide over
for awhile. If you oau do anything for
him, cap, why, I'm standing back of
him. you know."
"Mr. Dunn," remarked the captain
after the wardman had left, "I'll tell
you Just how it Is. You know this Is
Just after election, and everybody
wants everything in sight. There ain't
a thing I've got that there ain't a
dozen fellows trying to hold it down.
I'll tell you what I'll do, though. I'll
give you a signed knockdown to the
chief, and if he can do anything, why,
there you are. That's the best I can
do."
He wrote a short letter of Introduc
tion. and, being pleased with the ap
p. arance of the applicant, he made It a
bll stronger than usual.
"Blame it all!" exclaimed the chief
of police as Dunn stood before him at
headquarters the next day. "Kelly
knows blame well there's no use send
ing you fellows up to me. Every blame
position in my power to give Is full,
and Kelly knows It." He glanced up
from the letter. The appearance of his
visitor somewhat moll tiled him. "Mr.
Dunn," he continued, "I'm sorry, blame
sorry, to disappoint a personal friend
of the captain's, but you know there's
a limit to offices and to patience too.
But here, since you're a personal friend
of Kelly's, there's one thing I can do.
I've got some Influence with the may
or, and I understand he's got some
small jobs left. I'll write a note, and
you tuke It to the mayor, with this
*ote of Kelly's, and I'll call him up on
the phone and tell him you're coming.
I'm always ready to oblige a friend of
the captain's If I can."
Dunn took the note and started for
the mayor. He ran the gantlet and
stood in line to wait his turn.
"Mr. Mayor." he said as the mayor
read the note and looked up with the
sir of a man who knows what's com
ing and dix-sn't want to hear it—"Mr.
Mayor, I don't want a Job."
"You don't want -a Job!" gasped
the mayor. "Not a Job? The chief
sent you here, and you don't want a
Job?
"Mr.—er—Dunn," resumed the may
or Impressively. "I have seen over 500
men today. I have kept count," he
continued, pointing' to a piece of paper,
"and you are t!ie first of all the men
who don't want a Job. And you a
friend of the chief's! Well, tell me,
what, lu heaven's name, what do you
want? I am ready, willing and able to
do anything for the man who doesn't
want a Job!"
"I want," said Dunn, "a letter of In
troduction to the governor, whom,
singularly enough," he added apologet
ically, "singularly enough, I have never
met."
"Here, Mr. Dunn," replied the mayor,
"you keep those letters. I don't want
them. And for the rest, I'll accommo
date you with the greatest of pleasure
any friend of the chief's. (Jo over to
that young lady in the corner and dic
tate such a letter as you want and I'll
Bign it. Well, well; a friend of the
chief's and doesn't want a Job! Now.

tiuiyor to the next man In the line, re
bumin., I. • accustomed air of weari
ness An ! the next man wanted a Job.
Two (lays later Mr. William Dunn
sat closeted with the governor.
"Here are three letters," explained
Mr Dunn "one from Captain Kelly,
vine from the chief and one from the
«nayor I won't trouble you with the
two first." He laid the mayor's letter
down in front of the governor and
Bashed the signatures upon the other
two letters before Dim. The governor
merely glmici I at them and theD
perused the letter of the mayor. It
was a strong 1< '<• ' of recommendation.
Mr Dunn had t .< .1 < are of that.
"Don't believe I'.e got a thing for
you, Mr Dunn," said the governor,
"but I'll see." 11e pushed a button.
"Sturgls," he said to a man who
appeared, "this is Mr. Dunn, a i>er
sonal frl« i d of Captain Kelly and the
chief up tlr state and of Mayor Clay
ton I'll' \ want to place him, and I
want to know what we've got on
hand."
"Well," returned Sturgls doubtfully,
"I don't know. There's only one i>lace
left, and 1 don't know whether that
will suit any friend of the mayor. I
doubt it. Still"—
"What is It?" Inquired the governor.
"It's the head of that new record de
partment, that's all."
"Well, that's a fact, Mr. Dunn," In
terposed the governor, "I don't know
whether !t would suit you, but It's all
we've got, nnd if you want It"—
Dunn leaned forward In his chair.
"What does it pay, Mr Sturgls?" he In
quired.
"Well, that's Just It," returned Btur
gU. "It only pays $3,000 regular sala
ry, but" -
"Three thousand!" gasped Mr. Hilly
I lunn.
"Yes," returned Sturgls apologetical
ly. "I thought you wouldn't want It.
ulthough there are lots of men that do.
Still. Mr. I >uim, what with postage and
s -aling wax and and things, why, you
ought to K>'t at least sf»,<NN> out of it,
one waj and another, during the year.
What do you think? Its the best we
can do."
Mr. Dunn rose from his chair and
walkfd over to the window. "Well,™
he replied Anally, In a doubtful tone
of voice, "I'll take It, after all."
The governor looked pleased. Ho
halted over and whispered to Sturgis:
"This makes me solid now with those
up state fellows, and you can write
Dobbins and tell him that he can't
have the Job. I didn't want him to get
it anyway. So it's all right all around."
"Well now, Mr. Dunn," said the gov
ernor as his visitor rose, "you can
start in when you get ready, any time.
And when you go back remember me
to the mayor and Kelly and the chief.
■They're good fellows, all of them,
(ioodby, sir."
"Kitty," exclaimed the Hon. Hilly
Dunn a few hours later, as he finished
his recital of what had happened, "this
Is my new motto. 1 made it up my
self."
"Let's hear it!" exclaimed Kitty ex
pectantly.
The Hon. Billy Dunn drew himself
up to his full height.
"It's 'Always seek an introduction
when in doubt.'" he said. "It's the
latest move in the game of politics, it
is."
PLANT LICE
And like IIIk llroun Millers Tliat
Produce Altai in Cutworms.
The green aphis, or plant louse, which
attacks cucumbers and cantaloupes, is
not an easy pest to combat. It makes
Its appearance early in the season and
confines its attacks particularly to the
under side of the leaves, causing them
to curl and eventually fall off. Vines
should be watched carefully, and upon
the first indications that the pests are
present the leaves should be plucked
and destroyed and the under side of the
vines thoroughly sprayed with a 10 to
12 per cent strength of kerosene emul
sion. Tobacco decoction has also been
found very effective, depending some
what upon the kind used. The per
cent of nicotine present in tobacco
stems is small, and, as it is very solu
ble, much of it may be lost, provided
the tobacco has been left in an ex
posed place.
A pound of good tobacco stems in
two gallons of hot water ought to de
stroy this p< st if the material is prop
erly applied. A spray nozzle with a
bent neck extension will be necessary
to reach the under surface of the
leaves. A knapsack <<r bucket sprayer
should be used, as it is difficult to get
Into a field with a barrel sprayer after
the vines have obtained their present
growth. The pest usually appears in
spots, anil such places should be care
fully watched, sprayed and treated to
keep it from spreading to other places.
Large numbers of big brown millers
have been noticed this summer in
houses, fields and out of the way places.
These are the moths that lav the eggs
of the alfalfa cutworms, of which we
have always had more or less for the
last fifteen years. When the larvae
hatch out, they begin depredations on
the alfalfa and will often lop over on
to the beetfields adjoining. Running
water around the fields is one of the
remedies suggested, but is frequently
impracticable.
The only real successful.remedy for
them on the beets Is a thorough spray
ing with some arsenical mixture. It is
sometimes found necessary t*> spray so
strong as to kill the plants before hav
ing th" desired effect on the worms.
Therefore it is well to be prepared for
them, and when they arrive a narrow
strip can he thoroughly sprayed around
the fields so as to head them off us

Wondrm In >nlnn'.
A thousand wonders in nature are
lost to the human eye and only reveal
ed to us through the microscope. Think
of dividing a spider's web Into a thou
Band strands or counting the arteries
and nerves in the w ing of a go-samer
moth! Yet by the powerful let-* of a
microscope it is found there ere more
than 1,000 muscles In a caferolllar.
The eye of a drone contains 1 1.000 mlr
rors, and the body of every spider Is
furnished with four little lumps pierced
with tiny holes, from each of which Is
sues a single thread, and when a thou
sand of these from each lump are Join

of which the spider spins its web and
which we call a spider's thread. Spl

Irving laughed. "Have you so little

lightly. "The truth is 1 am often en

their good times, and then I thought it

The string- still reverberated with
the last sounding chord. Aniee leaned
back, with a little sigh. It was very
warm and more exhausting than she
had expected. Would she have time,
she wondered, togo down for a drink
between dances?
"Pardon, mademoiselle," a pleasant
voice said courteously. She turned a
startled face. Ah! It was the young
nam whom she had noticed talking to
Mrs. Van Tassel. She had wondered
vaguely whom he might be.
"1 am Mrs. Van Tassel's cousin," ho
said, "and I thought you might like
something cool to drink."
Aniee stretched out her hand eagerly.
"I'm not 'mademoiselle,'" she laughed.
"only plain 'misa.' Hut I have been
wishing for something to drink, and It
was -very kind of you to think of It."
Irving's eyes twinkled as he an
swered gravely: "Pardon my mistake.
Put are not all musicians 'madam' or
'mademoiselle?'"
The girl glanced up at him saucily.
"That is only after they become great,"
she said, with decision, "and I, you
see. am still very small." She stood
up. Yes, she barely came to his
shoulder.
"You have new standards of meas

She shook her hend soberly. "I am

"Then what are you? What do you

The girl flushed guiltily. "I—l play

"And I," he said boldly, "sing. Will

"Perhaps," she murmured. "Hut
