Ant Shareholders.

Many Of the large red ants are slave
holders, and, oddly enough, their slaves
are invariably black, much as Is the
case with the human race. When
slaves are desired bysacolony of ants,
a regular army Of invasion Is formed,
and skirmishers and scouts are sent on
ahead to discover a nest Of black ants.
This having been found, the warrior
ants-insects quite. different, from the
ordinary workers. with powerful jaws
set out to invade theirsneighbors ter
ritory and carry away the eggs and
pupe to their own~nests. A fierce bat
tie ensues, but the invading ants are
always victorious ;::5s.s..3+ 49,,
On returning to their own colony the
young of their: defeated foe are taken
into their nests and carefully treated
until they. arrive at maturity, when
they become the willing bondsmen of
the conquerors of their parents, doing
all the hardest work Of the community,
even to the length Of feeding their cap
tors. The latter, however, Is not en-
tirely a needless humiliation to subject
them to, as some species Of slavehold-
ing ants are incapable Of feeding them
selves and would die of starvation in
the midst Of plenty were it not for
their slaves.-Kansas City Independ-

GIFT TO EVANSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.

L. H. Towne Presents Group of statuary.
A recent acquisition to the art proper
ty of the high school is piece of statu
ary in Edgerton ware, the gift OF Mr. l..
I'll. ToWne, who is connected with the
Edgerton Pottery Works. The piece in
question is group about twelve inches
high, representing Jester teaching
Cupid how to shoot. The color is
deep cream and the modelling is excel
lent. The jester has the cap with ear
flaps, the pointed shoes and the quizical
smile that indicates his calling. The
little rascal between his knees wears a
very serious expression and is paying
strict heed to the words of his instructor.
His bow and arrow make up the sum
total of his attire.
The group is the work of Miss Minor,
who, it will be remembered, executed a
statue of"Forward" for he Worlds Fair,
which now adorns Capitol Park, Madi-
son. The lady was at one time in the
employ of the company at Edgerton.
Mr.. TONNES gift has additional value
from the fact that it is the work OF
young Wisconsin woman. 1t arrived
Saturday and will be presented to the
school in due form.
Another fact in connection with the
gift has significance. The Edgerton
Pottery works is the only one of the
kind in the United States. About
year ago Nj. Samson, the Belgian mod
eler, no was the artistic heart and soul
of the enterprise, returned to Europe,
and no suitable successor has been found.
Consequently the works have, been shut
down or will soon do so, and the stock

Cured to the duke that the dinner hour
had been passed, and he ventured to
inquire If his host was waiting for
anybody.

Instantly the duke took the hint, call

his own ship. He alone among the

the dinner was official On his return
to the flagship in the quickest time on
record and in full uniform the gallant
but inflexible admiral was still pacing
the deck, and deprecating his royal
highness' profuse apologies conducted
him to dinner I believe, concludes my
correspondent, the admiral was Sir
