and so eager upon the things of earth
that the seriousness of spiritual things
exercises no restraint? Hear him:
An exciting argument ia being car
ried on in the department of the Sum-
merviIIe Leader, between Brother Um-
baugh and Editor Bryan. It has pro-
ceeded to the seventeenth reply OF
Brother limbaugh, in which he tackles
the editor thusly:
IF the editor will point out g date
for the origin of a triune forward i'm
merslon later than Christ's commits
sion, the question as to whether he
was dead before or after his death will
be settled"
That looks like a corker on the editor
and that he is checkmated, but he
comes back at Brother limbaugh in
his reply t. the seventeenth reply as
follows:
"You affirm forward immersion; IL
you a prove it by the bible, history
cannot disproye it. So you seem TO
be puzzed as to whether he died before
his death or not"
And thus the editor skillfully par
ried the cunning thrust of his antag'
ouist and got back in the double cor
ner with his king. From a careful
perusal of the game, without being in
formed on the rules, We consider the
| seventeenth round a draw, and avail
the eighteenth with expectancy.

Mr.. Hafner Asks a Few Pertinent
Questions.

BENTON, Mo-, Feb. 4, 1901.
Hon. Z. d. AXE, IrOnton, Mo-.
SIR-Recognizing in you g. news
paper man of ability and a Democrat
of unquestioned integrity, l desire to
ask a question or two:
If the principle that s'to the vlctors
belong the spoils" is correct, l should
like for you to explain by what line OF
reasoning David B. Seibert, OF Cape
Girardeau county, "a republican coun-
ty) brother to James Monroe Selbert,
was appointed State Bank Examiner?
Is this not the same David B. Sci
bert who. in 1896, from the stump and
through the press, challenged Con
gresham Vandiver to public debate
on the financial questior-Seibert to
take the gold-bug side of the question!
Why is it that those who were either
in open rebellion or ION the fence" in
1896 manage t have poles sufficiently
long to knock the choicest persimmons
from Missonri's political tree?
Was it not our present State Chair
man and Temporary" excise commits
stone of St. Louis who, In 1896, when
the battle ragged fercely within our
ranks, made 1t convenient to be at Hot
| Springs just prior to and during the
| Pertle Springs convention, and, when
asked his opinion as to what action the
convention should take in regard to
the financial question. answered: 81
am a Democrat and will abide by the
result of that convention"
Is it not a fact that the party organ
ization is in the control of the same
gang that was overthrow by the crank
and file" in 1896? Is not the RE
public" the ..organ" and Dave Francis
its owner?
If we had genuine Democracy in
Missouri, don't you think there would
be some effort to have a genuine Dem
ocratic metropolitan newspaper
What is your opinion of the Missouri
Senate? Will the Insignificant Re-
publican minority again be held re-
sponsible for its actionP
Respectfully,

Ants ms Miners.

Ants commonly are regarded as null
sances, yet they have their uses. If
you dig up a nest of common brown
ants, you will notice by putting your
face close to the hill pungent odor
arising. This is the vapor of formic
acid, the principle Of ant poison. Now,
formic acid has the property of max
ing plants grow as hardly anything
else will. Therefore the mold of which
the ant nests are composed makes a
valuable dressing for the market gar
den when spread on while it is fresh.
Another little known benefit to be de-
rived from ants is the collection of
their eggs for fish food. In the late
summer a good many people make a
living by gathering ant eggs in the
pine woods of Surrey and Berkshire.
England, and selling them to the Lon
don fish dealers.
In the west ants are sometimes used
as miners. There is large species of
Rocky mountain ant which builds its
nest neither of wood nor earth, but OF
stone, and it prefers stones brilliant in
color for this purpose. Miners are said
to transport whole nests of these in
sects to places where garnets abound,
and when the ants have built their new
homes all the best crystals within ra-
dius Of many yards will be found in 1t
and appropriated by the garnet seek

TO TALK OR NOT TO TALK


and UnSociaIf
Is the old figure of golden silence
being washed away in the flood OF
twentieth century volubility? And is
1t right that it should be so washed
away? We do not know the answers
TO these questions Perhaps you. gen
tie reader. know and will tell. We dc
know that there is a good deal more
talk in the world than would have been
considered strictly necessary by our
forbears. If you don't believe this, go
TO the nearest library and ask to see
the bound volumes of The Congression-
al Record. You might also take along
a certificate of sanity In case the libra.
rian became alarmed at the request.
The old timers used to tell the youth
of the land to consider il what they
were about TO say were not only true
and tried" but also necessary" The
idea held for quite time that it was
as reprehensible tc waste words as to
dissipate wealth.
Our old friend Montaigne, however.
had tender place in his heart for the
talker. He declared, THE most nat
ural and fruitful exercise of the mind
is conversation, and find the use OF 1t
more sweet than any other action in
life"
In some quarters members of the fem
mime sex are credited with an indorse-
ment of Mr.. Montaignes sentiment.
Is 1t wise to talk much? Or is it fool
ish? Is silence golden? Or is it unso-
cial and therefore against civilization
