RUMBLE BEE AND RED ANT.

Overhead a bright, blue sky, the trees swayed in the soft breeze, while the bees and insects hummed and droned q tender monday lullaby to all nature. A little stream purled laZily along and then made quite a dash, as though to make up for lost time. Across the hot sand of the road a great humble bee guided his awkward body. He must have been a very sleepy humble bee, for he bumped his head and yellow striped body against large tree-bump- buzz buZ-zz- -buzZ-and he was on his back making his wings work very fast, as though he was tryingNto fly on his head.
 He was choked with the sand, and the accident had been terrible to him. Soon he ceased struggling, and the the air-still-no longer protesting against fate.
 Now, during these struggles, a small red ant had been wisely waiting to know the result A live humble bee singing away in the air was one thing but a dead humble bee on the ground was something else. A few moments passed and still no achievement. The humble bee was evidently dead.
 The ant, with the true instinct of her kind. putting by for rainy day" quickly approached the fallen prize, and with her tiny feelers and legs went to work with q will.
 Gracious how that little red ant wofked-never stopping to think she was trying to carry away something many times her size; but pulled away, now, as straw lay across her path, T 4o den over a dead leaf, or forcing it through forest of moss.
 She would stop every now and then to rest: then he would look all around the great body, wondering what she was going to do with 1t when she got 1t home.
 A big ant roaming around looking for his dinner espied the little ren ant and her bee and instantly concluding that might was right" he shortened the distance between himself and the feast The little red ant paused. What should she do? She had tried hard to do her work bravely, not calling for help, though her burden was heavy. Now here was foe to face.
 The black ant came nearer and-the red ant ran away as fast as her small legs would carry her.
 Deserting her work? Well, it looked like it.
 Oh, my little red ant, don't give up because it is hard-go back!
 The little red ant knew what she was about, however. Tn two minutes she had collected a small army of rel atives-back they all came-by twos and threes and doZens-some so eager that they tried to walk over the backs Of those in front.
 The big black ant was getting un- easy and really did not want that buIl- ble bee anyway!
 Each red ant had his own work. Some went to help with the bee, while others drew themselves around the now yanquished enemy; and not until the bee was quite safe in the ants nest did the black prisoner obtain his freedom.
 The bee safely stored, the ants did not even stop to admire their own iii- dustry, but went to work at some thing else. What would you have ? Do you not know there is such thing as winter ?-Los Angeles Times.

No punishment that can be inflicted on that New Haven murderer can re store brave Officer McKeon to his fam fly. Nevertheless the punishment should be swift and sure. When any man takes the law into his own hands to such an extent as to take the life of a faithful guardian of the peace, there should be no quibbling over facts and figures. The sooner the conmunity is rid of such a person just so soon can peaceable people breathe easier, and feel that they have one less fire brand in their midst.

About the greenest apple on the

the young fellow whose fond mamma

party call on a beautiful girl in So

Thomas Jefferson was proud of his
attachments in natural history, says
the Baltimore Sun, and particularly of
their recognition by the great natural
list, Button, TO whom he sent specimens
and information. With the fiattery of
a French courtier, Button wrote JEFF
ferson: Il should have consulted you,
sir, before publishing my natural his
tory, and then l should have been sure
of the facts" This so exalted Jeffer-
sons appreciation of his ability in that
direction that he was shortly after led
into notifying error.
In Greenbrier county, Virginia, in
1896, a deposit of bones, supposed to
be those of a mammoth was found
and sent to Monticello, where Mr.. JEFF
ferson set them up and pronounced
them to be those of a "carnivorous
clawed animal entirely unknown to
science" A curious sight might have
been witnessed by the people between
Monticello and Philadelphia, when the
Vice President of the United States, on
his way to take the oath of office ana
assume the second place in the gift
of the nation. carried wagonload of
bones for his baggage. He delivered
them to DR.. Wiser, the naturalist of
the American Philosophical Society,
with labored report under date of
March 10, 1897. entitled. "A Memoir on
the Discovery of Certain Bones of an
Hitherto Unknown Quadruped of the
Clawed Kind, in the Western Part of
Virginia" Dr. Wiser at a glance pro
nounced them the bones of the common
sloth, or giant edantate," and showed
Mr.. Jefferson several other specimens
OF the same kind. The Vice President
was greatly Inundated. and the scien-
fist called it "Megalonyx JeffersoniF'
"a name by which the animal has
since been known to naturalists. For
tunately for his sensitive nature, Mr..
Jefferson's lack of humor prevented
him from recognizing the satire. The
bones are still exhibited in the Acad-
envy of Sciences at PHILADELPHIA.

This must stop right here" said
Henry Grimthorp, as he put one foot
out of bed, and began reaching around
in the dark for his trousers, saws the
Chicago Record Herald.
Henry, his wife whispered, please
don't be foolish. Lie down and be
quiet"
NO" he snarled, I'm going down
stairs and I'm going to give that young
man down there a drubbing that'll
make him want to keep as far away
as possible from this house in the flu
ture. Here it is after II O'Clock and
Henry" Mrs. Grimthorp pleaded,
stop! Don't go down there, please
But he had found his trousers, and
ignoring his wife's words, he hurried
into the hall. Then he stole downstairs
through the dark, and in about half a
minute there were sounds of falling
STANDS and tumbling chairs and shak-
ing chandeliers. The old man had
grasped his antagonist around the neck
right at the start, and soon had him
choked into submission. Then he tied
the fellow full of knots, bumped his
head against the newell post several
times, and finally threw him down the
front steps.
When he got back upstairs his wife
and daughter. pale and quaking with
terror, flung themselves upon his
breast.
What's the matter?'' he demanded.
That was a burglar!" they cried.
Heavens!" he gasped, getting sick
at the stomach; why didn't you tell
me before? 1 thought it was Fannie's
beau"

President Shaffer of the Amalgamat-
ed Association is receiving some hard
blows from within the ranks of the as
ISOLATION. Whether he deserves them
or not is a question that is known only
to those who are familiar with the as
sociation's affairs and the inside his
tory of the strike.
A labor organ has printed two ar
ticles in which 1t has demanded his i'm
parchment and removal from Office, and
on Sunday Mr.. Hickey, ex-president of
the Bay View Lodge of Milwaukee, and
presumably a member of the Amalga-
mated Association, said at meeting of
dered in not accepting the terms offer
ed by Mr.. Morgan, the head of the steel
trust for the reason that they contain
ed the most liberal proposition ever
made to the association.
1t may be fact or it may not that
Mr.. Morgan made an extremely liberal
offer to the association, and that Mr.
Shaffer refused to accept it because he
thought he had the steel trust in his
power and intended to make it come to
his terms. 1t would be well to hear
the other side of the story before form
ing an opinion. II it be true that Mr.
Morgan offered the terms Mr.. Hickey
says he did. Mr.. Shaffer made mis-
take in not accepting them.
At present 1t looks as If the steel
trust had the best of the situation. II
is alleged by Mr.. Hickey that 70 pei
cent. of the mills of the steel trust are
running, and that the strike is a fail
ure. 1t will be apparent within a very
few days whether or not the strike is q
failure. If the impression gets abroad
that IL is, there will be a rush of the
strikers to get back their old places
If the Amalgamated Association loses
this battle 1t will take 1t a long time tc
regain its old position. That seems to
be admitted. The association will OF
course continue to exist, but II will be
a difficult matter to get mill employees
to put confidence in it. 1t is only by
proving its ability to do things thai
such an association is able to increase
| it's membership to such an extent as tC
make 1t power.

Dispatches from counties in the
peach section of North Georgia say
that the people there are afflicted with
the peach craze to an alarming ex-
tent. Nurserymen have received more
orders for peach trees than they can
fill this season. All along the West
ern and Atlantic Railway and the late
ly acquired Chattanooga division of the
Central hundreds of thousands of
trees are being planted. No doubt in
other parts of the peach belt peach
orchards are being established. The
liberia is of course the favorite, but
attention is being given to other varie-
ties.
In North Georgia the impression
seems to prevail that peaches have
proven a failure in South Georgia, and
that therefore the field is left entirely
to North Georgia. Is not this a wrong
impression? We think it is. 1t is
true there was a failure of the peach
crop in South Georgia this year, but
the conditions which caused it may
not prevail next year. 1t is certain
that as fine peaches were grown in.South
Georgia last year as in the northern
part of the state, and the yield was as
large. The impression that there is no
profit in growing peaches in South
Georgia must be an erroneous one.
There was a partial failure in the
crop in North Georgia this year, and
because there was extraordinarily
good prices obtained for the fruit. In
fact, the prices were so good that it
is probable that more money was
brought into the state, and that the
net profits of the growers were greater,
than If the yield had been as large as
1t was thought in the early part of the
season it would be. The growers made
a great deal of money and that is
the reason for the craze for planting
peach trees.
Georgia is already a great peach
growing state, and it is destined to be
a much greater state in that respect.
Only small part of the lands suit
able for the growing of peaches has
yet been planted with trees. There is
danger of course of overproduction, but
that danger is not very near, because
the peach market is growing rapidly.
STILL peach growers must not expect
to get as good prices every year as
those which were obtained this year.
There will be good and bad years for
the peach growers, just as there are
good and bad years for the cotton
growers, but from the indications at
present peach growing in Georgia is
going TO be great and profitable bus
iness-vastly greater than it is at pres

No death which has occurred in Sa-
vannah of late years has caused a more
widespread feeling of sadness than that
of Mr.. M. ]. Solomons. A week ago to-
day he was injured by being thrown
out of his buggy by the running away
of his horse. At the time his injuries
were not thought to be serious, but on
Saturday complications developed
which resulted in his death at a. IN.
on yesterday.
Mr.. Solomons was an urbane gentle
man; pleasant in speech and manners,
and charitable to a fault. His many
lovable traits gathered about him
as friends people of all classes. and
there will be many sad hearts through
out the length and breadth of the city
when the news of his demise becomes
known.
In early life a merchant and drug
gist, and for the past fourteen years the
secretary and treasurer of that we'll
known association which has done so
much to build up Savannah, the Chat
ham Real Estate and Improvement
Company, Mr.. Solomons' life, which, in
years, was over that of three score and
ten, was a very active one up to the
very day that he met with the accident
which was to end his well spent and
useful life.
He was a public-spirited citizen, al
ways ready to give of his means and
time towards every enterprise which
was inaugurated to advance the
welfare of Savannah. His Wig
orous constitution led every one to
expect that he would live many years,
and his sudden taking off in the midst
of busy and active old age was a sad
shock to his friends. Those of his fam
lily whom he has left behind have the
sympathy of the whole city in their be-
reaVement.
