About midnight fifty italian laborers
became drunk and started on q tour OF
devastation. The Brumfield family
were thought 10 have considerable
money. The Italians went to Brum-
fields residence and were refused ad-
mItIanee. Doors and windows were
then forced open. Mr. Brumfield and
his two ha:f grown sons fought with
despeI alton, but were finally murder
ed. their thrOats being cut from ear to
ear. Mrs. Brumneld and her three
little children were next killed by the
drunken Italians, who then searched
the house for money and set IL on fire.
Mr.. Brumneld was influential and
wealthy. Two or three years ago,
while county commissioner, he Op-
posed the building OF q new court

The court house was built. and II is
thought that the tragic work was the

which has been pulling many promi-

During the past two wears a great in

In an interview with a prominent

Of overcoming its progress is TO protest

Thus it is very plain that young gen

Indeed. the ordinary form is merely an

The doctor paused for a moment and
continued;
Although phlegmonis is an inaam-

from the ordinary tonsilitis, as il is con

n Woman's Memory.

Memory. the Warder of the BRAIN"
says Shakespeare, but with many it
would seem that the full meaning Of
the aphorsm is sadly. lost. Almost
everyone has some sort OF memory,

may be, but one person out Of every
fifty has some process or other in

in time to be able to retain ilhfind
all matters worthy of retention.
This recalls to a writer in the Kan
sas City Times a story told of a young
ladyfricnd, who has lately taken on
the fad of 'memory brushing" She
contided in gentleman acquaintance
that she was poor at dates, a sad
failure on place and weak on events.
GLOW may | learn to retain things

exclaimed as if in disgust at her in

thing you wish to remember and you
will never forget it."

piled,

The young lady was in high state
of glee at such practical and really
beautiful manner of aiding memory,
and her thanks were profuse.

Driver Ants.

There are certain ants that show
wOnderful intelligence, and the
| driver ants" not only build boats
but launch them, too; only these
boats are formed Of their own bodies.
They are called drivers" because of
their ferocity. Nothing can stand
before the attacks Of these little,
creatures. Large pythons have been
killed by them in single night.
while chickens, lizards, and other
animals in Western Africa flee from
them in terror. TO protect them
selves from the heat, they erect
arches under which numerous armies
of them pass in safety Sometimes
the arch is made of grass and earth
gumnied together by some secretion,
and again it is formed by the bodies
of the larger ants, which hold them
selves together by their strong nip
pers, while the workers pass under
them. At certain times of the year,
freshets overflow the country in
habited by the drivers" and it is
then that these ants go to sea. The
rain comes suddenly, and the walls
of their houses are broken in by the
food, but instead of coming to the
surface In scattered hundreds, and
being swept off to destruction, out OF
the ruins rises black ball that rides
safely on the water and drifts away.
At the first warning of danger, the
little creatures run together, and
form a solid ball of ants, the weaker
in the center; often this ball is larger
than a common baseball; and in
this way they float about until they
lodge against some tree, upon the
branches of which they arc soon safe
