TIE GREAT MORAL uPLIFT
D. P. Kyle Breaks Few COgs Out of
 the Machinery.

Since his prospective appointment to
 the position of b--ssouri consul in this i city, D. P. Kyle has been swelling up with pride. He believes that official promotion will demand of him new at tainments in the world of science and ! letters and he is preparing himself to deliver the goods. But he proposes to start out mOdestIy that the world may learn to appreciate him gradually and may not be too violently interrupted
 though truth is mighty and eventu- ally it must prevail.
 MT. Kyle will first invade the realm of morals. He has no quarrel at this ! time with the accepted code but has ] his hammer out for certain methods that are employed in accentuating the great moral Uolift. He does not believe ! that false premises should be used even for the inculcat;on of souni doctrine.
 or to be more clear, not any and ev- cry means should be rezorted to even for the attainment of just,dab.e ends. II MT Kyle's special grievance at this
 time is the dissemination of misinfor- |. matiCn concerning the ant which is so
 often referred to as the most typical Y representative of laudable industry.
 That the ant is even more than typical
 in his industry will be testified to by
 almost any lady or gentleman in Ari-
 zona, fer few there be. who in their T. communion with nature have not in advertently sat. for a moment at least in the immediate bCt humble environ nent Cf that most interesting insect GO to the ant thou sluggard'' is, a scriptural injunction and its virtue as a lesson in industry is more than illus II trattve. Most people who go to the ant set away again as quickly as Eos- sible and immediately get busy To i! the biblical admOnitiOn Mr Kyle takes no exception. His contention iz that well meaning moralists. presur2pt
 ously wiser in their day and genera
 uon than the teacher Of old, have add ed to it, thinking thereby to make the
 lesson stronger and in so doing have perverted the minds of most people Of the present day. and especially the y-Urg, concerning the real habits Of the ant, until facts absolutely coHtro- vertei by the observing student of nat , Nural history have become generally ac- cepted
 The children are taught that the , ants work assiiuousIy through the summer to store up provcnGcr for winter sustenance and thus is taught , the lesson of frugality and provision against the day of trouble The facts are. says MT. Kyle. that the ants hi- . beTnete during the winter and don't eat anything. He says that in cold . countries, where there is plenty of wa . ter, they very often freeze up iu the ice or wet ground and stay until the
 springtime comes gentle Annie and the flowers bloom a cain As for yv--1.L-f,,.r hard to get something to eat, they have less sense than an ordinary hired man. They always do two works for one
 eat For some reason they refuse t- be seen eating in company and when : ever they get a choice Inorsel they . work all forenoon dragging it into the . nest, eat it for dinner and then spend . all the afternoon dragging the husk . Of the grain or the skeleton of the in- 2 sect. out into the open air again. The . ant in reality is. according to MT : Kyle, anything but a high and nobl4
 example. Every movement of his busy |. life is devoted to trying tc get enough : to eat and no man ever saw one that { wasn't hungry As a lesson i1 frugal ]. ity he is about the most stupendouz : failure, says MT Kyle, that is known : to the scientific world. He is long on . industry. beyond peradventure, but like
 a squirrel in a revolving cage. he uev-
 CT gets anywhere.
