B A curious menace to brick street paw
ing has come to light In Council Bluffs,
Ia. Numerous ants began burrowing
into the sand beneath the brick and re-
moved SO much of 1t to other and un-
known quarters that the city engineer
was called in to repair damages One
street was made unfit for travel for
several blocks. While Investigating
what was going on, the officials wit
messed q battle between an army of
red and black ants, when the former
made q raid upon them, routing ana
driving them out. The reds swarmed
across the street and moved In solid
array some fifty feet down the avenue,
there attacked the enemy, broke into
their home and carried OFF a large
number Of eggs. The battle was SAN
culinary. and lasted fully half an hour.

In muggy weather." said the retired
burglar, II always used to stop work;
not because work was unpleasant then,
but on account of everything sticking
so. You couldn't tell what might hap
pen; anything and everything was La
bic to stick and to make more or less
noise when you finally got it open. A
window might stick at first and then
go up with a bang. I've had door
open on me that way, fly open all of
a sudden after I had been pushing on
1t a long time and let me through the
doorway onto the floor. There's al
ways danger. for instance, in pulling
out a drawer that sticks, of pulling 1T
clean out and letting it drop. There's
constant danger of something of this
sort happening, and it doesn't pay to
take the chances. And it's easy enough
to know when to stay home-my rule
was never to try to do any work in
weather that would rust a jimmy"

The Daily Short Story
A Japanese Love Story.

Yoshima Nicadoti. desiring a wife
employed a nabrodo. or matrimonial
| agent, who introduced him to two
young ladies-O kilku San. the Hon
Miss Chrysanthemum, and o Gin San
| the Hon. Miss Silver. The former was
] poor, but beautiful: the latter very rich
Between these two Yoshima could not
decide.
1.-THE Hon. Miss Silver comes from a
nabrodo.
THE eyes of the Hon. Miss Chrysan-
tbemum are like half opened lotus
buds" replied Yoshima significantly
for the twentieth time "AIy good ma
brodo, IL seems to me that 1 shall never
be able to come to n decision"
An uneasy look settled upon the face
of the nabrodo, for he began to fear
that in desperation Yoshima might en-
gage another agent, of whom there
were many in Kokoro.
"As you find the qualifications OF
each lady so evenly balanced" said he,
"why not allow a test of their disposl-
tons TO determine your final choice?
Suppose you disguise yourself as ped
dler of fish and at the house of each en-
deavor to dispose of your commodity.
At the one where you are most kindly
treated you would be sure to obtain the
best wife"
surely I will adopt that plan," ac-
quiesced Yoshima. appearing well
pleased with the suggestion. ''Tomor-
row 1 will disguise myself as n fish

arrive at n decision"
\ merry twinkle gathered at the cor
ners of the nabrodo's eyes as, fan in
hand, he then hurried to the house OF
Miss Silver's parents.
81 think everything can be arranged
satisfactorily now" said he. 'Tomor-
row Yoshima comes in the disguise of
n fish peddler. Receive him with great
kindness, because upon your behavior
depends his decision in this delicate
matter"
At the house of Miss Chrysanthe-
mum. however. the willy nabrodo made
very different suggestion.
There is a fish peddler," said he
gravely, visiting this neighborhood
who is a great thief. 1 should not be
surprised If he called at your house
tomorrow morning. / advise you to
have no dealings with him, but TO send
him quickly from the door. came
hither on purpose to place you upon
your guard"
When, however, Yoshima came to
think the nabrodo's project over, while
In the main satisfactory, yet the idea
of peddling fish did not coincide with
his artistic temperament. He reflected
that It would he far more in keeping
with his object if he should adopt the
disguise of n vender of flowers.
So, without saying anything to the
of mis- change in this respect,
Yoshima next morning disguised him
self as n flower seller and arrived at
the house of Miss Silver's parents, rs
it happened. Just at the moment when
Il real fish peddler appeared on the
scene.
Then what was Yoshimas surprise
when his presence was completely
ignored and the common fish peddler
accorded n remarkably cordial well
come. While he was turned away
from the door with the curt Informal
ton that there were already plenty
more flowers in the garden. Miss Sill

no account ever 10 pass by their dwell

 < It looks now as if the Mahaney forces are going to have quite lively tussle in the fourth ward.

The fourth ticket claims to be Independent and wants It distinctly understood that no man or set of men own the delegation. The aldermen on this ticket will be Pat rick Shannahan, John Brophy and Stephen O'Brien.

TRIED TO DROWN CHILDREN.
A Mother While Temporarily Insane

A Mother While Temporarily Insane
 Threw Children Into Water
 New York, Aug 12.-After throwing
 her two pretty little daughters into
 the South Cove at Henderson. street.. Jersey City, yesterday. Mrs Olga Mi
 chalak clasped her baby boy in her
 arms and leaped ill after, in the hope
 of ending all their lives. John De
 vsney, a watchman, and his wife rush
 ed to the rescue and saved all of them.
 Mrs MicIalak is believed to be in- sane. Once before she tried to drown her children, but was prevented. Her husband, who works in the car shops on the Hackensack meadows, says she
 has been suffering from mental trouble. Her husband Was at work when at 10 o'clock yesterday morning she dressed all the little ones in their best and took them with her to the cove. The Devaney noticed she seemed to be laboring under great excitement.
 They were mortified when they saw her pick up her daughter Anna $ years old.
 and cast her into the water.
 The little one screamed as she was thrown, and the cries of terror of the little 3-year-old sister when she saw her mother catch her and fling her af- ter were heartrending.
 Quickly as they could run Devaney and his wife made their way to the
 scene in time to see the woman hold
 the baby close to her and leap into the cove. Devaney dived after them and soon had the twoe little girls close
 nough to short that his wife could drag | them out
 Then he went to the rescue of Mrs NIichalak. She fought savagely to die and trieed to hold the child under wa 1 ter. He finally overpowered her and
 brought her and the baby safe to land. 1 Mrs Deyaney had telephoned to the police and the family was taken to the | City hospital. Later the mother was l sent to the police station bewailing the
 fact that her attempts to- end the strug- I gle for herself and children had not been successful.

 Both Yachts Were Making Slow
 Time.
 Bateman's Point, Aug 12.-There was but little wind, the weather was hay and threatening rain were the conditions when the Columbia and Constitution prepared for their race to- day. The starting signal was fired at 12 o'clock. The Constitution seemed to have the better of the start, cross ing the line nearly one-half a minute ahead of the Columbia. Both boats went across the line on the port, tack Shortly after the start the wind was blowing abut five knots and a slight rain was falling. At 12:04 the yachts had sailed about one-half mile and the Constitution seemed to be pulling away from the Columbia. They were going very slow, however and the race promised to be long one. At l2:3O when the yachts disappeared in the mist the Constitution appeared to bs one-quarter of a mile ahead. At 2:3O news was received from the yachts that at o'clock they had sailed but seven miles of the course and at that time the Constitution was leading the Columbia by one-half a mile.
