The Meade Globe says that "the editor
of the Beaver Herald is sorely troubled
with worms, they have ruined his gar
den and he has abandoned the horticul-
tural idea" The Globe man then gives
his experience in gardening. figuring up
his total expenses at S19.25 and his re-
ceipts at 4 cents. and announces that he
quit gardening several years ago, In his
footing of expenses, however, he charges
up S15 out of the Sl9.25 for work done
by ourself." The kind of work done by
the Globe man was the same sort as that
done by great many people. !. e., he
stuck lot of seeds in the ground and
expected spring lamb and green peas for
dinner next day, and because he didn't
get them he went out and cussed the
country at so much per cuss and charged
| 1t up 10 the garden. The Globe IS mis-,
taken about one thing, sure; the senior
OF the HERALD ofiice hasn't abandoned
the horticultural idea." He now has a
real good looking garden has had rad>
ishes and lettuce to eat for a week past,
and will have plenty of peas and beans
in couple of weeks. There is not now
a catworm or bug to be seen IN the
garden-the birds and tsads have taken
care of them-aad about everything we
have planted is growing nicely. The
work that we have performed in the gar
den was done at times when we would
have been doing nothing else, and we
cannot conscientiously charge much for
that The work was done with rake
and hoe. OF course. the time spent in
the garden might have been spent down
town. sitting on a box and telling how
the government ought to be run, how
we ought to lick the Spaniards, annex
Hawaii, and who to elect for coroner
and constable next year; but had we
put in our time in that way we wouldn't
have received cent more for il thaA
we did for working in the garden, and
we would have been compelled to wear
popocratic prosperity badge for protec>
tion from the cold next winter. We are
ahead of the game in the saying Of half>
soles for trousers. even il we fail to raise
anything but dust Ia the garden.
Memorial Day was duly and properly |
observed in Beaver. 1t was beautiful |
day, cloudless, and bright, with very |
little breeze stirring, and although it
was quite warm there were no uupleas-
ant features about il. There were flows
ers in great abundance, aud with them
the church was beautifully decorated,

were used in the decoration of the last
resting places of those who had worn

The procession TO the cemetery was
larger than ever graced a like occa>
sion al Beaver. There were about fifty
vehicles in the procession. and more

mounds were strewn with flowers by the

But another room was found for him
and the next day another "parlor A"
arose on the ruins of the erstwhile room

Once in while, though rarely, men are
found who like the number. Oscar Tolle,
clerk of Judge Carroll Cook court, is one
of these. He lives at the Baldwin Annex,
and says he likes his rooms. which are II
and 49, Mr.. Tolle, in speaking of this
"hobby" of his, tells OF what he calls the
best time he ever had. 1t was one vaca-
ton, when he left San Francisco, on June
13 got stateroom Ii on the steamer, room
l3 st the HollenDeck Hotel at Los An
geles, the same at the Nadeau Hotel,
where he went later. He arrived at Lake
Tahoe April 13, where he got room Is on
the barge. Fred Otter, BaIdwin's brother
in-law, was 10 sleep W th him, but would
not when he discovered the number OF
the room be had. Mr.. Tolle relates this
with great gusto and solemnly AYERS that
he never mad a better time in mis- life.
He has another story, too, which he
likes to tell. This happened about ten
years Ego, when Pete Randolph, since
dead, but who during life was known as
the prince of drummers, was in his prime.
Mr.. Randolph received $50, 600 year, the

average. He is smooth and polished like
a bit OF jet and has legs as strong as steel.
These legs are not tough, as might be
imagined, but are brittle like a sewing
needle, and can be snapped in two with
pair of tweezers as if they were made OF
glass. 1t is this, perhaps, that gives 1t
the great power of locom otion.
The jaws of this creature are something
almost impossible 10 conceive of. They
have been known to bite through piece
of fine brass wire at one movement and
cut it as clean as though they were of
hardened steel. Everything about this
ant is of the strongest kind, and in reality
it looks as if it were built to resist the
most terrible forces of nature. 1t really
can resist great deal and force itself
through great many things. 1t has been
known to bore holes in hard granite
powders, and yet this same ant is help
less when he falls into molasses Jug.
All this has, you may say, very little to
do with the great strength of the black
ant OF California, and you will be right,
but 1t IS necessary TO give an idea of just
what sort OF a creature this terrible fellow
Is. In this connection it might not be
out OF place to mention the fact that small
swarms of ants similar to these have been
known to attack man and kill him in
very short order. The California black
ants are fully capable of such terrible
feat, but fortunately there are not enou.h
of them to make such disaster possible
A few days ago party OF scientific men
were watching number of these ants
moving supplies into their cellar for the
winter. 1t was on the northern hill in
Mill Valley in spot sheltered from the
wind and exposed to the sun. In fact an
ideal place for black ants. As the pro-
fessors had brought no lunch with them
the ants were compelled to lay by the
common stuff to be found on the hillside.
Some were engaged in carrying seeds,
while few others were removing the
choice parts of dead beetle.
Each seemed to be making efforts to
outdo the others in carrying capacity,
ust as country boys have been known 10
do during harvest season. Some of the
ants carried two seeds, and might nave
carried three if they could have taken
hold Of them.
While all this was going on there came
racing over the rough ground from spot
