The other day my husband went in the basement and killed 63, They crawl up from the basement, be tween the walls, and in the morning a half dozen or more are in the house." Counsel to be of good cheer comes from H. W. Williamson, secretary of the State Board of Horticulture. He is certain they are harmless. In common parlance the worm is known as "the thousand-legged worm." sometimes called the galley-worm. It is of particularly repellant aspect, dark brown, shiney, and perhaps an inch and a half long. Bulletins fro mthe infested districts are hopeful, and report a gradual les sening f the invasion. The obnoxious guests appear only at tnis season oi the year, and last only a few days. Insect, Which Is Supposed to In habit Old Stumps, Is Declared . Harmless, but Is Not Wel comed In Best Society. 'Ugh!" and likewise "Mercy!"

But worms with a fringe of legs like Jeff's sideburns, cold, contorted, creep ing things that evoke the startled yelp of involuntary dismay- and repugnance. In the residence districts of Alameda Park and Beaumont, and generally throughout the city, the annual plague of these mysterious creepers has crawled forth from some hidden haunt. Nobody seems to know Just where they come from, but everyone heartily hopes they will speedily return. Avaunt thee, "Worm! is the shibboleth of many a housekeeper Just now. No particular complaint would be made, or charge asserted, against Sir Worm and his numerous scions, the housewives say, if the tribe would take the hint and remain without the resi dence. But they don't, and they won't. "They come right into the house," exclaimed one who has fought them from basement to attic. "Tney crawl on the walls, slowly. I've even found them in the sugar bin think of that! Poke one, or frighten it, and it curls up in a horrible convolution. "They have almost taken this part of town," declared Mrs. C. V. Ross, of 655- Forty-eight street North, aggrievedly. "Last year. X. O. Barker, who is now traveling in the East for his health, sent ,one to the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis.

Howard Childs. found guilty In Judge Morrow's court of obtaining money under false pretenses through the sale of an alleged catarrh and cold medicine called "Aposteriort." will be sentenced Wednesday. .Pronouncing of sentence in the case was previously postponed ' by Judge Morrow, and an effort was ibeing made by' friends of the convicted, man to secure him a parole. Dr. Childs asserted be had a con tract with the Paris Medicine Co., of St. Louis, to sell "Aposteriori," but this contention was repudiated by that con cern. An analysis of the alleged medicine introduced at the time of the trial showed that it waa composed of water. table salt and coloring matter.
