Ants Who Have Slaves.

Did you ever hear Of ants who make
slaves of other ants? Well, there are
such creatures. They are called slave
making ants.
One day in the yeas 1904 a famous
naturalist beheld large body of ants
marching rapidly over the ground in
an unbroken column. Their behavior
was most military, and there was no
struggling. Presently they came to an
ant mound where another species of
ants lived. Some of these ants were
on guard, and on seeing the enemy
approach messengers were sent to the
inferior Of tie mound to call the rest
ont In mdnute a great battle was
O, which ended In victory for the
stacking pszH. The conquered ones
retreated to the bottom Of their nest,
while the conquerors followed in after,
and presently each returned with q
baby ant In It's mouth. These ants
were brought up as slaves, as was
later discovered By the same natural
isk
After awhile the masters became so
QSpeuQeut Oh Tue StsbtSS IOX lively
thing they could do nothing for them
selves except fight other ants. They
lost their teeth, they forgot how to
build, they neglected their young, leav-
ing the slave ants to care for them;
they even lost the power or feeding
themselves, and when, by way Of ex-
pertinent, a few of them were placed
by themselves where there was lots Of
food, but no slaves to give it to them,
they died, every one Of them, from
hunger.
One time a man took few of this
species and kept them by themselves
for a couple of days, and then, just as
they seemed about to die, he gave
them one slave ant. Working all
alone, this fellow built nice home,
washed and cared for the baby ants
and fed the elder ones, who were
about dead from hunger.
If you had to be an ant, wouldn't
you much rather be the slave than the
master?

Hoping that camera man 10 meet
And at last they found him bsfore a store
Taking q million pictures or more,
So straight to his side the three boys tore
And tsased az they never bad leased before
Because they we're certain that they would

The prettiest picture that he could take.

And we want 'em to put in an album. book"
So be took their pictures there and then,
Dirty as three little pigs in pen,
But you never saw happier boys than when
He photographed Peter and Jake and Ben.

President Sonntag II Looking After
the Cruelty Laws.
President Charles Sonntag, Of the
State Society for Prevention Of Cruelty
to Children, was in Sacramento yester-
day for the purpose of interviewing the
authors of various bills affecting the
welfare of children, but he went home
convinced that the Senatorial situation
and the work of investigating commit
tees would delay cruelty to children
laws for some weeks.
In an interview with Record
Union'' reporter, however, President
Sonntag outlined the purpose of his
visit as follows:
II am proud Of the fact" said he,
chat when / was about "a years of
age, became, SO to speak, the father OF
the Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Children. hear that there are many
aw-makers here who are trying their
hands on various amendments to our
law, and / am here to see what they
are up to.
Have you any amendments of your
own to offer?" was asked.
..Yes. 1 should like to see the New
York law adopted here. I find Police
Courts, Justice Courts and others at
loss to know what the law means-but
New York has passed upon and inter
preted nearly every clause Of the law.
If we should adopt the New York law
we would be able to enlighten the courts
by showing them adjudications in New
York on nearly every section. I think
the simplest way out of the question
is for me to draw the bill and have
somebody introduce II"
