and II it hadn't been for that good ma
tured wasp who came by and told us to
show her that piece of paper which he
brought us from his nest we should not
have known what to do. You know
that the wasp said human creatures al
ways prove their right to whatever they
take a fancy to by displaying a piece
of paper"
"Ha, hal" chorused several of the
aphides. How funny she looked when
we brought out the paper! She didn't
know the meaning of it, but she was
too proud to acknowledge her ignor-
ance. and so just nodded and backed
away"
well, I've always been afraid she
would do us injury" said the youngest
aphis, "and would not be in the least
surprised to hear she mad sent that lion
to roam about here. Then when we
are all gobbled up she can have our
leaf without further trouble"
Now this was rather unfair to the
rose slug. She had left the aphides in
u%ndisputed possession Of their leaf be-
cause they had seemed to prove to her
dull mind that it belonged to them.
She had taken possession of a rather
unpromising vacant leaf just below and
had gone to work to put it in order.
This putting in order would result in
leaving it a mere network OF dried
veins, but that is perhaps a slug's idea
of n~eatness. The pulp OF the leaf serv-
ed as her food. Now, the aphides little
knew that their enemy lived just be-
meath them. She staid on the under
side of the leaf and slept all day, begin
ming work at night.
The rose slug happened to hear the
conversation Of the aphides overhead,
and when the fat aphis threatened TO
tell her friends the ants the rose slug
was in great trepidation.
THE horrid, deceitful thing. to think
of setting the ants on me like that"
she unused. Il don't believe the little
aphis saw a lion at al" And then

eide what friend would help her. There

at the court house in st. C%lairsville to
make arrangements for the occasion.
This was the tenth county organized out
of the northwest territory, and was es-
tablished by proclamation of Gov. St.
Clair in 1901, before the constitution of
the State had been adopted, and when
originally organized was much larger
than at present, as it embraced parts
of Guersey, Monroe and Noble coun-
ties. AT present 1t containes 461 square
miles. When the county was organ
lied it had only 600 inhabitants. and
now the population reaches nearly TO-
600. The early part of the history of
the county is very interesting, and es-
pecially that pertaining to the Indians.
The first public building of the county
was built at tBellaire in 1902, but was
removed to st. Clairsville in 1903. and
the court house was built near where
the present county Jail now stands. 1t
is to be hoped that this county will
give a centennial celebration, as it could
be made a great success. Martins Ferry
would not be adverse to having the af-
fair in their city, and it would be well
for this city to go after this affair, as
they have the grounds to hold same in,
and with the combined help of the coun-
ty this city could give a grand demon
sitration and bring the public to the
metropolis of the county, where from
all parts they can secure transporta-
tlon. The river front was the first of
Belmont county, and let it have this
celebration.

it had taken this particular colony of
aphides under their protection, for
they supplied the ants with an abun-
dance of the most delicious honey dew.
This honey frequently forced its way
IN tiny drops from the two upright
hornlike projections on the aphides'
backs, and unless the ants were tehere
to gather the honey as it welled out
it would fall upon the leaf. The ants
were not often put to the trouble of
stroking the little aphides to coax them
to supply them with a drop of honey,
as they were compelled to do with less

much interested in the welfare of the
little creatures. The pale round specks
OF animated green were valuable to
them. for the honey dew supplied the
baby ants with food, and when it was
plentiful even the grown ants could
afford a treat now and then.

SETTLERS LOSE HOMES.

Russell Sage Gets Them ms Trustees
For the Hasting a. X Rail-
way Co.
ST. PAUL, MINI, June 1.--Justice
Lewis, of the Supreme Court, has filed
a decision which will result In several
Stearns county settlers losing their
homes, title to which was contested by
Russell Sage as assignee in trust of the
Hastings & Dakota Railway Company.
Under the act of Congress of June 4,
1866, the Hastings q Dakota Railway
Company completed It's road within
the time as extended by the Minnesota
Legislature. When the road was corn
pieted there was found 20 be a defcien-
cy in the primary grant limits OF about
500, 900 acres and only 10000 acres
available in the indemnity limits 10
make the loss. and In consequence all
the lands in the indemnity limits wert
selected.
After the completion of the road and
the land selection, the roads franchise
was forfeited by a judgment and lated
its property was transferred TO Russell
Sage for the benefit OF the stockhold-
crs.
Judge Lewis holds that the settlers
who entered upon the lands after they
had been withdrawn from settlement
are not in a position 10 attack Sage'a
title to lands earned by the completion
of the road and secured 70 him by a
transfer which the court holds TO be
valid.
While only a few hundred acres were
directly involved in this case. the de-
eision involves the validity OF the n
tire grant.

Electric Railways.

Electric Railways.
This county promises soon to have
many electric roads, wiz, all having
their terminus on the river front,
which will bring the cities IN
towns much more business. The Wheel
ing Traction Company's line to st.
Clairsville, connecting with the road
coming from Canton, will be the long
est road in this part OF the State, n
no doubt will be a paying one.
1t is understood that the Ohio Rapid
Transit Company, which has secured a
franchise through this city and also to
Cclerain, mend to extend their line on
to st. Clairsville over a different route
from the Wheeling Traction Company,
and that this city will be their terminus
from the Ohio side, although they say
they will go to Wheeling. If this line
is built to the county seat it will re-
ceive considerable patronage not only
from the travel between the two places,
but from those who would come to this
city on account of it's railroad facilities.
Two companies are asking for fran
chaises between this city and Steuben-

ed. This line would mean much to this
city, as it would bring a large amount
of trade here from a territory that has
not yet been opened up to such accom-
modations as these roads would give
them, and it is hoped that they will
secure a franchice and that the roads
will be built. 1t would not be a bad
move for the Board of Trade to look
after the proposed road of Mr.. ]. A.
White from Cadiz to the river front,
connecting with all the towns and ham
lets between these two places. 1t would
command a large amount of travel and
open up a trade for this city that would
mean much to the business men. II
some encouragement was given to Mr..
Whites company the road probably
could be induced to come to this city.

as compared with other cities. There
are towns and cities with not half the
manufacturing industries that have
spent large sums of money to secure
plants. The man further stated that
Martins Ferry lacked pride in itself.
IL that was what 1t needed. If the
people would once get awake they could
do wonders. You have a Board OF
Trade now. and every one should en-
courage it. as it is the only forward
move your city hiss made for years,
and if the people sill only realize that
they can have one CT the most thriving

General Politics.

As the weather grows warmer so
does the political situation in the county
and State gain a higher temperature.
From all indications the old State will
see a arm campaign, as both parties
seem anxious for the battle. This cam
paign may make two presidential can
didates. n for each party. Mayor
thomas l.. Johnson, of Cleveland, will
most likely be one of the central fig
ures in the Democratic party and will
try to carry C%uyahoga county. Senator
Mark Hanna will again try to boss the
Republicans in this same county, and
the fight will be a warm one. Senator
Foraker. who is out for reelection. will
make a hot campaign, and will have to
fight John r. Mclean for the supre-
nancy of Hamilton county. and if For
aker's old friend. Geo. 3. Cox, who left
him for Mark Hanna's gold, fails to
come to his assistance. Hamilton will
surely give an immense Democratic
majority. kilbourne will undoubtedly
be the Democratic nominee for Cover
nor, and it is thought the opposition
to Nash will not be strong enough to
defeat him for denomination. This
~ LldhS pUlu cduuiudt6S from frank
lin county, but it is conceded that Kill
bourne is the stronger of the two in
that county. Hon. John J. Lentz will
be the candidate for the Senate, and his
work in the State will be a strong fac
tor in the campaign, as he is a vigor-
GUS campaigner. County politics are
looming up in a way that means bust
ness. The Republicans have named
their ticket, which is conceded to be a
weak one, while the Democrats have
not had their convention. The aspir-
ants for the different Offices show that
they will have a ticket that will be
strong. and men who will make a fight
for victory with more than the usual
vim. Ohio Democrats. while in the
minority, are always ready for the bat
tie, and past defeats never deter them.
as they believe there is a victory await
ing them in the near future.
