WOULDN'T THIS KILL YOU?

The PLOT received the following
clipping, taken from southern paper,
the other day. The sender is an old
friend and in his letter he says: 81 have
been wondering if the Hon. Alexander
Stewart or Walter Alexander, in their
recent trips south, stuffed those
southern fellows with this ant-eating
story.
ANT EATING IN THE NORTHWEST.
Some enterprising dealer in canned
goods could make small fortune"
said a visiting lumberman, Shy going
into the Northwest and putting Up tree
ants as a condiment No, Pm not jok-

the product would need no Introduction
to the people of that region. All
through the lumber districts of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin ants are regarded
as a great delicacy, and the only trouble
is that they can't get enough of them.

hard manual labor in cold climates ac-

sour, and the ,ig, brawny choppers and

They use only a peculiar variety, large

quantities under the bark of dead trees.

pail full, and, after killing them by
scalding, they are spread on board

describe exactly how they taste, but the
general flavor would remind you of
some fine fruit vinegar, and if you have
any squeamishness over the nature of
the dish it doesn't take you long to for
get it. l can't see, however, why there
should be any objection to dried ants as
table deIicacy. They are perfectly
clean and certainly as attractive as
snails or shrimp. The first time l ever
saw them eaten was at chopping camp
near Great Bend, Mimi. One of the |
gang was gigantic Norwegian, and at
noon hour he drew out something that
looked like an overgrown caviar sand

the lumber camps is GO to the ant,

QUO VADlS.

The wonderful success attending the
production of this play has made it a
sensation of the present dramatic sea-
son. The book, of which the play is a
dramatization has been so extensively
read and so favorably spoken of by the
critics and pulpit, that everyone is anx-
ious to see it in dramatic form, for this
reason it appeals not only to the regular
theatre-going element, but also to that
great class fpeople who but rarely visit
the play house. This accounts in a
measure for its success. The story of
the play is both instructive and
elevating, expressing the loftiest of
sentiments and showing the sutferings
of the early Christians, depicts a thrill
ling story of life and love and gives
opportunity for startling effects and
sensational scenes. Its action admits
of its elaborate scenic surroundings but
the success of the play in manner de-
pends on stagecraft and beautiful story
well told. The stage version of
the romance opens in the house
of Petronius and the action
begins with Vinicius confessing
his love for Lygia, the ward and sup
posed daughter of Aulus Plautius Lygia,
is in reality a hostage of the State and
on this pretext is seized by Nero's Pre-
tonian guard at the suggestion of the
Emperor's favorite, Petroius, uncle of
Vinicius. Taken to the Royal Palace
she escapes through the agency of Ur.
sus, her giant protector, but IS pursued
by Vinicius, who, in the course of his
adventures, falls among the Christians
and meets Peter the Apostle. Lygia is
Christian and Vinicius, moved by his
experiences among the martyrs, adopts
their religion.
The play ends with the victory of
Ursus over the wild bull in the arena.

iNHU MAN TREATMENT.

A story of brutal and inhuman treat
ment was told in Judge Mlller's court
Friday that is incredible to believe, yet
he facts bear out the story. John
Bruins, father of five children, who mar
ried a second time, came here nom Chi
cago some time ago, and since has
caused the police and humane society
no end of trouble Bruins was in the
habit of beating his wife and last fall
served sentence in Jail for this offense,
and the humane society bought the
woman ticket to Chicago to get rid
of him, but she did not stay away long.
The couple were married in Chicago
about four years ago, and at that time
the children were placed IN an orphans
home by the Chicago humane society,
but iater one of the children, boy now
eight years Of age, was adopted by the
step-mother, and since that time, ae-
cording TO the boys story, his life has
been anything but a pleasant one. He
has been whipped and subjected TO all
kinds of abuse by both father and foster
mother, and when he appeared in
Judge Miller's court Friday bruises and
scratches on his body gave witness of
this fact. Wednesday he was to have
received another beating, but before
the chastisement was administered his
step-mother sent him 10 mail letter,
Knowing what was in store for him on
his return he decided not to go home,
and played about with other boys until
night fall He went to bed that night
in the woodshed of Chas. Goerling with
out supper, and slept on bed of straw
placed there for the use of a dog. Next
morning he went to school without eat
ing anything and returned to the neigh
borhood at noon. Mrs. Goerling did
not know of his experience of the night
before, but suspecting that he was hun
CRY called him in and gave him dinner.
The "kind hearted" foster mother late
IN the afternoon instituted search and
he was found at the home of E. A.
Dunn, by policeman Rasmussen. The
boy stood in dire fear of the woman,
and so Mr.. Rasmussen decided to hand
him over to the humane agent, which
he did, and provision is now being
made to place him in home where he
will receive proper care,
What the child suffered on that cold
night can only be imagined. 1t would
have been an experience not relishcd
by one warmly clothed, but this poor
boy was clad in garments suitable to
the hot weather of summer, and with
the pangs of hunger gnawing his exper-
ience could not have been a pleasant

ABOUT A WAUSAU MAN.

On the first reading page of the
Mississippi Valley Lumbermen, pub,
lished last week, is a picture of f. P
Stone, of this city, with his biography
which makes interesting reading
Among other things the article says:
Young men are now taking hold
of the reins of trade and making names
for themselves in trade circles and
trade councils. Among those whose
experience and business attachments
are of recognized worth, is Fowler P
Stone, ,.of Wausau.
In the business and social world of
today men are given credit for what
they are What their fathers have been
before them may gain them entrance
into social or business circles, but their
stay there depends on their fitness to
remain.
1t then gives a resume of Mr.. Stones
business operations and concludes thus:
He has become a hemlOck expert,
and is one of the working members of
the Northwestern Hemlock Manu-
facturers' Association that has done so
much for that wood silce it was or
ganized 1t is as a member of this or
ganization that one Of Mr.. Stones most
striking characteristics has become
prominent. This is his inclination to
"Hew to the line, let the chips fall
where they NAV"
In the management of the affairs of
Mortenson & Stone, as in his previous
business engagements, he has proven a
thoroughly capable business man, and
has gained position of esteem and
respect among his business associates
and contemporaries and his fellow
townsmen.
The Jacob Mortenson Lumber com
pany now has its mill in operation with
a stock Of logs on hand that will last
until July. After that what the plans
of the company are has not been an
nOunced, but we gain the following bit
of information from the Lumberman:
'"They have not yet decided what they
will do with the mill after their present
cut is finished, but as Mr.. Mortenson
has large timber interests in northern
Minnesota it is not unlikely that the
mill will be dismantled and the ma
chinery used to equip a new mill in that
section of the north"
