ANT ENGINEERS.

Something new and interesting about
ants was learned by Mount Airy
florist recently. For a week or 30 lie
had been bothered by ants that got into
boxes Of seeds which rested on shelf.
To get rid Of the ants he put into exc
cution an old plan, which was to place
meaty bone close by, which the ants
soon covered, every one deserting the
boxes Of seeds. AS soon as the bone
would become thickly inhabited by the
little creepers the florist tossed 1t into
a tub of water. The ants having been
washed off, the bone was put In use as
trap again.
Then the florist bethought himself
that he would save trouble by placing
the bone in the center Of sheet of fly
paper, believing that the ants would
never get to the bone, but would get
caught on the sticky fly paper while
trying to reach the food. But the
florist was surprised to find that the
ants. upon discovering the nature OF
the paper trap. formed working force
and built a path on the paper clear TO
the bone. The material for the Walk
was sand secured from little pile
near by. For hours the ants worked
and when the path was completed they
made their way over its dry surface IN
couples, as in a march, to the bone

A QUALIFIED DECISION.

"In the early days of CGur dAlene,'
said an old miner, 81 was working
with my partners on claim when we
were suddenly startled by pistol shots
and, looking up, discovered a man ly-
ing PROSTATE on an adjoining claim,
while his assailant was trying to es'
cape by logging it to the best OF his
ability. Without stopping to pick up
the injured man we gave hot chase TO
the one trying to escape, whom we
finally ovcrhauled. captured and haled
before a justice of the peace at Mis-
sion, Ida, the nearby town.
There, as remember it, it develop,
ed that it was an attempt at claim
jumping and that the man who had
done the shooting was the would De
iumpcr. The evidence was all against
him, and word came that the man who
had been shot lay all but within the
portals of DEATH. the physician giving
it as his opinion that he could last only
a few hours longer, and thercupon the
famed Justice of the peace rendered his
decision.
"T find you guilty Of murder in the
first degree said he severely as he
turned toward the prisoner at the bal
that is, provided the victim dies,
and so that decision stands to this
day"

1T WAS RED AND. COSTLY.

The most expensive dinner Of mod,
ern times was given some years ago at
the Savoy hotel. London, by million.
aire who has since met with an IN
timely end. 1t was known as the "red
dinner" from the fact that almost ev-
erything in the dining room was red
In color. All the floral decorations were
red. the electric lamps were red, the
knives were specially made with red
handles, the chairs were red, the carpet
was red. the table napkins were red
and even the walters wore red ties.
The reason of this color predominating
was that the millionaire had expert
enced wonderful run of luck and had
won large sum Of money through red
turning up on the rouge ct noir table at
Monte Carlo. The winning figure was
nine, and this figure was also In eTi-
dence at the dinner.
The menu card was unique. On the
first page was large red niue, and on
the back page was a portrayal Of the
top of a rouge ct noir gaming table.
The menu itself, which was printed In
red letters. consisted Of 1S courses, all
of the most expensive character.
Forty guests sat down to the table,
and the cost Of this extraordinary din.
ner was over sos for each person.

CAN'T LEAVE WALL STREET.

Speaking of the fascination which
Wall street exerts over those who have
once entered It's speculative arena, q
newspaper man said:
"In one of the largest commission
brokerage establishments in Wall
street at the noon hour found scores
of brokers, both old and young, fever
ishly scanning the quotations. I sim
gled out patriarchal looking broker, q
pioneer on change.
"'Can a man retire from Wall
streetY I asked him.
"'You bet he can,' the old man re-
piled, when he's fat broke. That's
the only kind of a man I've ever
known to "retire" from Wall street
during an experience Of nearly 40
years. OF course If he can raise few
dollars he'll be right back again.
|, "'Then there's the man who has
cleaned up a neat little fortune on
some clever deal and taken solemn
oath never to come near the "street"
again. He always comes back.
"T knew one man, however, who
really did quit. He is the exception
that proves the rule, but he never had
courage to come down town farther
than Fourteenth street. The magnet
failed to touch him at that distance.

Mrs. Fulton looked surprised and

whole expression betraying great ex-
citement.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
The Credit for 1t Is Being Claimed by Sew
veral Congressman.

The Credit for 1t Is Being Claimed by Sew
veral Congressman.
The rural free mail delivery is evil
IDENTIFY greater achievement than we
once thought, judging from the eager
ness of different claimants to get the
credit of it's establishment, although
we believed from the first that it
would bring more tangible results and
more actual public service to the mass
es of people than any other public
measure passed by congress in many
years.
Several papers in the state have
published an article signed by "One
Who Knows giving Congressman
Latimer large credit for the establish
ment of the rural free delivery system,
and recently Congressman Norton has
been reported as claiming the honor
of establishing the system. The truth
of the matter is that DR.. ]. VIM. Stokes
from this district deserves the honor
and the distinction of having carried
the matter successfully through con-
gress althoug he does not claim tu
have originated the scheme.
Others in previous years tried and
failed; but DR.. Stokes took up the
work and prosecuted it. with such
ability and persistence that he sue
ceeded in having the system put in op'
GRAFTON. Doubtless other congressman
from this state and other states coop.
Grated with him, but he was the rec
ognized leader and champion of the
measure. To sustain our contention
we quote the following from Congress
man Griggs, one of Georgia's ablest
representatives, who published in an
Atlanta paper a complete history OF
the rural mail matter. Mr.. Griggs
says: "The next year (1S9S) congress
gave $500, 900 to continue experiments
in this matter. My recollection was
that the department asked for only
S15O,OOO, and the committee recon-
mended that amount on the floor of
the house. Hon. ]. VIM. Stokes, OF
South Carolina, a fast friend of the
farmer, moved to make it 100000, and
it passed in that shape. This ought to
show that DR.. Stokes is the one people
should thank for the successful culmi-
nation of the free rural mail delivery.
Moreover, he had the service extended
and applied along all star routes
throughout the state, beginning July
1st. The people along these star
routes are already enjoying the bene-
fits of better mail facilities.
1t may be added that Congressman
Griggs, from whom the above is quoted
is prominent member of the postof-
fee committee, of the house, and hence
is in position to know the actual facts
in the matter.-Orangeburg Patriot.
