with his fist He weighs two hundred
pounds, and as he walks about the Senate
pc seems to be carrying an Invisible chip on
bis shoulder. He is an iconoclast as to the
Senate, and he feels himself the equal OF
any man, in the chamber. He Is a good
looking man. His big round head is set well
down upon pair OF broad shoulders. His

turn at faro. and when he had lost 1t his
face did not change. and he left the room
though he had been playing for coppers.
WClcott is known in the west a plunger.
He has never cared for money, and his ge-
MUS is such that he has been able to make
and spend fortunes. He is not man of

lows in his veins has come down from the
most famous families of our colonial his
tory. and he IS one of the best bred men in
Che United States Senate One of his ances-
tors signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and another succeeded Alexander
Hamilton as Secretary OF the Treasury.
Woicott went to college at Yale. He has al
ways been a great reader and he has more
rare books In his library than George Fris-
Die HOar OF MASSACHUSETTS. He Is one of the
best types of well-e1ucated New Engianders
who have gone out to the Rockies and

The same may be said of Dubois the
Ishmselite Senator from Idaho He sits

ehouldered giant. with hair as black as VOL
COTS well-polished boots. and with eyes
which fairly jump in their brightness and
life. He has straight. belligerent nose
and he keeps his mouth shut as he sits IN
his seat in the Senate. He Is a graduate of
Yale and his nerve Is known from the fact
that he was once United States marshal of
idaho. and had to keep all the roughs of
the territory in check. He has no respect
for traditions and he will probably be heard
from before this session Is over.

A Pleasant Affair.

A few days ago a very pleasant affair
occurred at the Richmond post-ofiice. in
which a portion Of the employees Of the
Office showed their appreciation Of one
OF their associates by the presentation
to him of a very handsome water set,
consisting of a swinging silver pitcher
and goblets. The recipient was Mr.. W.
Wallace Rowe, who on October 18th
took unto himself a wife, marrying Miss
Nj. Susie Wayland daughter of Abram
Wayland, Of Crozet, Va. Mr.. Rowe Is
the oldest clerk in service now in the

Cleveland's first administration, and this
memento is good evidence that his popu-
larity with the Richmond public stands
a yet severer test with those with whom
he is closely associated.

WARRIOR ANTS.
Terrors OF their Advancing (olumn When

It was in Honduras, near the Carib-
bean coast. while on government sur

World-Herald that / first saw the war
rior ants-those strange insects which
march through the tropical forests I'm
armies, attacking every living creature
in their path. one intensely hot day, as
sat in hammock under the matched
roof OF my bamboo hut, native came
running in, and, with excited gestures,
bade me follow him. / did 50 wondering
ly, and, going out into the open, looked I'm
the direction he indicated. There on the
rolling savannah stretched a wide black
belt, extending far back into the deep
shadows Of the adjacent forest. IL rose
and fell with every formation Of the
ground, and, like a huge snake. slowly
crept toward the village. 1.-The warrior

better unite your dogs or the ants will
kill them" Acting upon his advice |
loosened my dogs, and, retiring TO a safe
distance, watched the approach Of the
warriors. In countless multitudes they
swarmed over the plain, marching in
compact order like a well-drilled army.
Before them scurried a Heterogeneous
mass of lizards. grasshoppers. frogs.
beetles and other manner of insects and
reptiles, in wild scamper to reach a
place of safety.
Presently the advance guard reached
my hut and disappeared within; then the
main column appeared and soon the
roof, floor. walls and rafters were black
with them. Like the soft rustic of dried
grass starred by a gentle breeze, came the
sound Of their presence in the leaves OF
my matched roof The sound increased
In loudness as the rats, mice, lizards.
cockroaches, centpedes and others OF
their ilk, who had long made the roof their
home, tried Yainly 30 escape. Some sue
ceeded in getting away from the house,
but only TO fall victims TO the surround
ing hordes without. One large cockroach,
l noticed, made a plucky fight, but, over
powed by numbers, he gradually relaxed
MS efforts and was soon dismembered,
each ant carrying off a portion OF his
body as a trophy.
The most exciting battle was with a
snake about three feet long, that tried
TO slip away unseen. The ants quickly
surrounded him, however, and fought
with terrible ferocity. With every switch
or his tail the snake killed score OF his
tormentors. but their places were soon
nled py the black swarm which swept
increasingly 'on. Finally the writings
OF the snake became fainter and fainter.
and at last ceased entirely and then and
not until then, did the ants relinouIsh
thelr attack. All day long they marched
through the house until at shutdown the
end OF the column had passed and was
lost TO view In the thickness OF the forest.
1 entered the house and prepared to sur
vey ruefully my larder. but my anticipa-
tons OF sorrow were premature. for there
were All my provisions as had left them.
