Herodotus, the father of history, writing
in the fifth century before Christ, tells IA
very remarkable yarn about certain ants in
the country of Pactyica which were bigger
than foxes, though somewhat less in size
than wolves. These extraordinary insects
lived under ground, heaping up the sand
into hills. In this sand gold was mingled,
being brought up from the depths, and the
natives were accustomed TO 20 with sacks
to collect it, choosing for the work the hot
test part Of the day. because then the ants,
which were frightfuGy fierce, were hidden
IN their holes. Upon arriving at the place
where the plumber was TO be obtained the
men were wont 10 fill their sacks as quickly
as posi- bic and get away with the utmost
expedition, for the ants, upon finding out
that their dwellings had been disturbed
would pursue them, and, inasmuch as they
were unequaled in swiftDess by any other
animal, not one Of the robbers could nave
escaped being torn to pieces had they not
had long start.
A number Of other chroniclers of the
same period make similar statements re-
garding these insects-among them Ne

sented by travellers as ants because they

Joking an Indian.

It is dangerous to joke with an Indian.
His sense of humor is so dull that he may
think himself ipsulted, when he is merely
made the butt of bad joke. Mr.. Alex
an6er was a decayed Scotchman, " no, hav-
ing strayed into Fort Carlton, served the
Hudson Bay company as a clerk at $3.50 a
year and his food Life was very dull at
the post, but one day White Cloud, the
Sioux chief, arrived here with seventeen
warriors. The chief, an Indian Apollo,
stood over six feet in his moccasins, and
was proud of his courage and strength.
One day White Cloud was in Alexander
room, who, thinking with JuliuS Hare that
1.-The next best thing to very good joke is
a very bad joke" put on pair of boxing
gloves, and told the Indian that with these
the white men learned to fight. Showing
another pair, he asked White Cloud If he
would ike to put them on. The Indian,
not knowing what would happen-for In
dams never hit with the hands, and con-
slider blow from the fist gross insult
said he would.
Alexander first took away the chiefs
knife and pistol and locked them up.
Then putting the Indian in the middle Of
the room, he showed him how TO stand on
his guard With one blow Alexander
knocked the chief down. He rose, rushed
at the clerk. and was again knocked down.
The maddened Indian tore of his gloves
and tried to get his knife from the drawer,
but the drawer was locked, and he Gained
down and demanded TO be let out
What will you do when outsids'" asked
Alexander.

Alexander, seeing what his foolish Joke

He took his revolver from drawer. and

leaning out to catch her, and Baby, being
tossed up and caught, kissed her hand and
called back, "Dood night, Bob"
Bob went back to his post, and having
brushed his eyes with his grimy hand was
ready to go on. 1t began to matter little
with Bob whether anything happened to
him, and he never had been so watchful OF
so careful as he was that night.
What pleasure it was, when they were
in at last, and he could go and get the
sleepy little creature, and carry her to his
room at the boarding house. She reused
up and ate supper with him, and was
quite merry when bedtime came. Bot
had just undressed her. his big, awkward
fingers making slow work of it. and had
tucked her under the cover, but when he
was about to follow her example, she sud
denly struggled up.
Bob" she cried imperiously, tome say
your payers"
Il don't know any prayers, Baby" said
Bob, after moments aStonished silence.
Den tome here, and teach you one, u
she commanded.
Bob slowly, and with very red face,
came around on the other side. She made
him kneel, and saw that his hands were
properly clasped and his eyes shut. She
had almost left Off her baby lisp, but this
prayer had been learned SO long ago that
she said it now just as she had learned TO
say II first.
Now I'm gay me downer s'eep," dictated
the little teacher, perched up on the side OF
the bed
Now lay me down to sleep" murmured
the bpown and bearded giant kneeling be-
fore her.
All, Engineer Bob, how many years since
YOU said that lasts And where is the lit
tie mother that bent over you while you
said iti
When the lesson was finished and Bob
had tucked the baby in again he went
back TO his place with curious moisture
in his eyes, and was half impatient with
himself about it.
And then began a strange era in Bob's
life: a time when this child was always
in his thoughts and seldom away from
his side She grew TO be the train
baby" and every man was her obedient
slave. Bob was still debating with him
self what he would do with her, and in the
meantime he did nothing but keep her
with him. Ii was such strange thing 10
feel the tiny hand clasping one Of his
brown fingers. when, on his day off, he
walked about with Baby. 1t was such a
wonderful affair altogether 10 be CON-
PEELED TO kneel down every night and say

When an entire week had passed, and
the prayer still had TO be dictated, Baby

dor OF candid babyhood.

ought TO be ashamed of yourself"
Torn by conflicting feelings, knowing
that be was daily in danger of discharge,
Bob was leading miserable life enough:
and yet the light that never was on sea or
land was shining upon his life and trans
forming it.
One morning she sat beside him in the
cab when one of the main guys" passed.
Bob's heart gave one or two trlphammer
blows and then stood still. Now wonI

But the awful dignitary, after a compre-
hensive glance in Bob's direction, turned
| his head and looked the other way, with
such evident intention not to see anything
| that Bob understood and was over
! whelmed with gratitude. For did not all
of the gong" know all about Bob's in
fatuation? And had not the main guy''
heard?
As for Bob, his life was changed, and the
haunts that once knew him now knew him
10 more When he walked about town
could he go into saloons or gambling dens
with that little figure beside him, Like the
angels of the old stories, she lowered about
him and kept him from harm. Bob, the
most profane of railroad men, could utter
no oaths now, because the Baby would
hear; and the one or two that made use Of
language more forcible than elegant in the
presence of the Baby found themselves in
serious trouble. The little white soul had
been given over to Bob's keeping, and it
made an atmosphere of purity around it.
Engineer Bob began to wish that he were
different man.
A very few weeks had passed when Bob,
going to the mail car one night after Baby,
found her feverish and little inclined to
wander in what she said. Like one dis
tracted, he rushed to his room with her and
sent for a doctor. Wild with anguish he
sat beside her all night and gave medicines,
but the next morning she was no better.
Somebody else took out Bob's train: he
neither knew nor cared who. Wholly for
getting all the rest of the world, wholly ab-
sorbed in the child that was more to him
than life itself, he sat there and watched
her while her own faint little life slowly
ebbed away. The railroad men came, one
after another, and bent over Baby and
pressed Bob's hand, telling him TO cheer
up, and went away wiping their eyes. The
superintendent came and sat down by the
bed. smoothing the pretty, tangled hair
and chatting her little hands as tenderly as
woman. These things were hard 70 bear,
he said, and he was not good at oonsoia-
ton.
But suddenly, at last, Baby clasped her
tiny hands and began to murmur:
"'Now, Pm gay me downer s'eep'- Tome

"Oh, yes. Baby, I'm here" cried Bob,
falling on his knees beside the bed

strong heart Of Engineer Bob.
And then, as night had come, aud the
evening prayer was said. the Baby went 70
sleep.
A little witbered old woman stepped
down from the cars month later and into
the arms of strong, grave man
