That Cake walk Programme Must
he Cut.

To The st. Paul Globe:
In your issue of this morning you publish
the programme of a cake walk" to take
place at Central hail. on Wednesday evening.
June 1. in which my husband and myself ap-
pear as contributing a duet to the grand
est and most gorgeous event of the season.,
in reference to which announcement desire
to say a word two.
ices of the ST. James A M. E. church l
was approached by Mr. ]. II. Dillingham; and
asked If l and my husband would render
duet at concert to be given for the benefit
of said church some time in the near future.
then promised to do The subject of
"cake walk was never preached nor even
thought Of so far as l was concerned. Hal
it been l should have emphaticaly refused
to have anything to do with the affair. Both
my husband and myself think that with the
splendid moral and intellectual advance which
our race has made in the past thirty-five
years neither we nor our people have time to
revert to the antics and songs of ante-b llum
days for the mere purpose of pleasing the
tastes Of some of our people and others,
whose tastes in that direction can be gratined
by attendance at the ordinary negro MN
strel show. In conclusion, so far as the
names of Mr.. and Mrs. T. II. Lyes apepar
on the programme, that part Of it is unau-
thorized and will not be carried out. Yours
truly, Mrs. T.. III. Lyles,

Ant Pie,

Savages, we know, indulge in such
luxurles as grubs and locusts. but for a
civilized white man to finish up his din
ner with dish of raw ants seems too
nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico
1t is the custom-and a custom adopte1
by plenty of colonists and visitors.
The ant eaten is called the honey ant,
and is perhaps as curious an insect as
lives. With tiny head and legs, 1t has
a huge body as big as large pea, and
this is yellow and swollen with excel
lent honey.
In each nest there are 900 or 400 of
these honey ants, which are attended
by thousands OF others The honey ants
hang on to the roof Of the cells In the
nest while the others feed them. They
are, in fact, living storehouses Of win
ter food An observer says that If one
Of the honey ants falls from his perch
O. worker will 60 and pick him up and
replace him. This is as if a man were
to walk up the face Of a cliff carrying
a large buffalo or cart horse on his
back.
