LIFE IN AN ANT HILL.
1t Is More Like Our Own world Than
That of Any other InsectOr
Animal.

Even If you don't know anything
about their habits it is very interest
ing at this time of year to watch the
ants. Here and there across any mead
ow and in the woods you will come upon
a little mound with ridge of earth,
like circus ring, and a hole in the CEN
ter from which the earth slopes up to
the edges. The ants have been build
ing their houses and these mounds are
made of the dirt they carried out, each
piece in a little grain about the size of
grain of sugar.
There are so many ants in one of
these homes and they dart about so
fast they don't seem to be going any
where in particular-just hurrying
back and forth. This is because the
ants all look alike to us unless we get
well acquainted with them, and what
seems to be one ant running into the
hole and coming right out again is in
reality two ants, one of which had i'm
portant business inside the nest-in
the back room in the top fat perhaps
and the other, who has just come from
the nest, something equally pressing to
attend to on the outside. Perhaps
these two ants met and seemed to rub
noses as the Eskimo do when they
say good morning" If so they were
talking to each other. For the ants
use their long feelers, called antennae,
to keep one another posted about what
is going on in the ant world This pic
ture of two ants talking is taken from
the book 'Stories of Great Americans
for Little Americans" and illustrates
one of the things Franklin found out
about ants when he was boy.
And a very important and interest
ing world it is-this ant world-more
like our own world than that of any
other insect or animal. The ants
house, for example, is built in several
flats or stories, and these stories are
divided up into rooms. During the
night the baby ants are carried by
their nurses into n room of the nest
furthest away from the opening and

BUILT IN TWO DAYS.
How n Railroad Company Created .
Booming City in Little Over
4S Hours.

There never was such another coun-
try as this in the celerity with which
plans are made and carried into effect.
Think of city built in two days! That
is what happened in 1867 on the line OF
the Union Pacific railroad in Wyoming.
In that year the company decided to
move its shops and establish new
town. The site chosen was on the
plains. where there was neither tree
nor stone. Every other lot in the town
was to be given free to the person who
would build house.
The day after the offer was made the
railroad had difficulty in moving all
he people who wanted one of those lots.
Free trains were run from as far east
as Chicago, and in As hours 1000 people
were on the ground, scrambling for q
place to construct a home. As fast as
a location was secured the building of
home began. A good many of the
houses were of the knock down" style
of architecture. They could be folded
up and hauled in a wagon. and some of
the settlers had brought these houses
with them. For a year the railroad
company continued to give away lots.
There were no paved streets nor side
walks. \ man who had home on a
roadway where the sod had been
scraped up in a ridge in the center re-
garded himself as an aristocrat.
The city is standing to-day, but it is
larger and more substantial, and the
knock down" houses have given place
to something finer. The city now
bears the name of CHEYENNE.

lieved of his surveillance, and Corp.
Norton transferred to Corregidor to re-
cuperate: and now that both lads were
well on the road to recovery, Drayton
had sent for them. Strictly speaking,
some one should have seen to it that
Corp. Norton, of the volunteers, was
shifted back to Private Morton, of the
-teenth, and the chevroIs stripped
from his sleeves; but no one had cared
to interfere where the worsted was con-
cerned, especially as the boy had won
such praise for bravery at Concordia
Bridge. So there the chevrons stood
when the two were ushered into the
presence of the gray-haired chief, and
he arose, and, stepping forward, held
out hand to each.
II want you, boys" said he, Ito be
ready to take the next transport home.
The doctors say you need sea voyage,
Gray; so there is the order. The doe.
tors say your father needs you, Prime;
and the record will be duly Strengthened
out in Washington-the charge of de-
sertion, no doubt, will be removed. It's
matter of influence. Tonight you
dine with me here; and / have asked
your good friend, Col. Armstrong, to

THE SAGACIOUS RAT.
A Little story for Young People from
Which They Can Draw
Valuable Lesson.

One day a well-fed and sagacious
rat came across an object made of
stout wires, whose sole occupation
seemed to be to take care of liberal
piece of cheese. Having had several
years experience with men and their
Vaccinations, the rat looked the
ground over with great care, and he
was still engaged in this occupation
when mouse appeared and wanted
to know what was up.
''Why, the fact is" replied the rat,
81 have more cheese here than | can
possibly eat at one meal, and as
cheese quickly spoils in this climate,
| was waiting for some one to come
along and accept portion"
"You are very, very generous" said
the mouse.
Don't mention it. Just step inside
and pass the cheese out, will you?"
The mouse no sooner nibpled at the
bait than there was a crash, and he
found himself trapped.
"Ah. that's the way it works, is ii ?"
queried the rat. II couldn't just
make it out. I'm! l see. Spring
there somewhere. Very good idea"
"But I'm caught" exclaimed the
mouse, in great agitation.
$50 / observe"
''And what's to be done?"
"Well. l leave that for you to de-
eide. | let you in on the ground floor,
and my responsibility ceased there.
Fine day. Hope we shall have a large
harvest"
There is a good moral to this anec-
dote. Think it educational Rural.

ANTS TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER.

chill night air. The next morning, IL
the weather is good, the baby ants,
wrapped up in their little white
bundles, are brought back to the outer
rooms where they can get the heat of
the sun and if the weather is particu-
larly fine they are taken out into the
sun. But the moment the weather
looks threatening, the babies are hur-
ried back into the house as fast as the
legs of the nurse ants can carry them.
Ants not only have nurses but they
keep cows. and in some countries there
are ants which carry off the eggs of
other ants. and when these hatch out
keep them and raise them up to work
for their captors. Among some kinds
of ants the business of life is so divided
up that while some spend all their time
being nurses to the baby ants, others
which have particularly large and
strong jaws are the soldiers of the ant
nest and defend it against the attacks
of enemes.--Little Chronicle.

Too Polite.
Enquirer,

At a recent church dedication the
preacher, who was a stranger, fol-
lowed up his sermon by an earnest
appeal for the balance of the money
needed to pay for the building. The
collectors went round, and promises
came in. AS the subscriptions were
one after another read, collector an
nounced, The five Black children, one
dollar" The courteous preacher quick
ly amended the statement by an
nouncing, Five little colored people,
one dollar" Amidst an outburst of
merriment, the pastor hastily ex-
planned that the donors were white

BE GLAD.

Be glad when the flowers have faded?
Be glad when the trees are bare?
When the fog lies thick on the fields and
moors.
And the frost is in the air?
When all around is a desert,
And the clouds obscure the light,
When there are no songs for the darkest
day.
No stars for the longest night?
Be glad when the world is lonely
And the heart has been bereft?
When of all the loves of the young spring
time
Scarcely friend is left?
Be glad in the deso!ate valley
After the sunny hills?
When the joy of the morning is far behind
And the gloom its task fulfills?
All, yes for the truest gladness
Is not in ease or mirth!
1t has its home in the heart of God,
Not in the loves of earth,
Gods love is the same forever,
If the skies are bright or dim,
And the JOY of the morning lasts all day
When the heart is glad to Him.

HE WAS IN A HURRY.
And That Is No Doubt the Reason Why
the Boy Got the Position He
Was After.

The merchant had arrived at his
Office rather early in the morning,
and five minutes after he got down to
his desk foXy-looking, bright-faced
boy came in. The merchant was
reading. and the boy. with his hat off,
stood there eXpectantly, but saying
nothing.
At the end of two minutes he
coughed slightly and spoke.

in a hurry
The merchant looked up.
"What do you want?' he asked.
81 want a job if you've got one for
me-"
"Oh, do you?" roared the merchant.
"Well, what are you in such hurry
about?"

sharp response. 81 left school yester-
day afternoon to go to work, and l
haven't got place yet, and | can't

can't do anything for me say so and
I'll go. The only place where | can

CHAPTER XVIII.

The long wait for the coming of the
big transports with the regulars was
over. For the first time in history
America was sending her soldiery past
the pyramids and through the Indian
sea, landing them, after 40 days and
nights of voyaging, upon the low, fiat
shores that hem Manila bay, and SHOW
ing them out to the hostile front be-
fore their sea-legs could reach the
swing and stride of the marching step;
yet, TO all appearance, as sunconcernedly
at home as though they had been cam
paigning in the Philippines since the
date of their enlistment. This, to be
sure, in the case of more than half
their number, would have given them
scant time in which to look about them,
since raw recruits were more numerous
than seasoned men. But no matter
what may be his lack of drill or prep
aration the average Anglo-SaXon never
seems TO know the time when he doesn't
know how to fight. So, with all the
easy assurance of n veteran, our Yankee
"Tommies" wriggled into their blanket
rolls and trudged away to the posts
assigned them; and once more the army
assumed the aggressive.
There were changes in the compost
tion of the forces even before the move
began. The dudes and the "toughs"
parted company; and the former, with
Stanley Armstrong once more riding
silent at their head. joined forces with
stewart's riddled regiment up the rail
way toward Malolos. Col. Frost had
succeeded in convincing tn. surgeons
that he would be as much out of place
