discussion gets the money that en-
ables him to seek his pleasure in
idyllic fashion all over the continent
of North America, from the Arctic
Circle. to Florida's famous winter re-
sorfs@
The Florida coast is a particularly
favorite spot of the summer boarding
house keepers. With the opening of
the season he .hurries there in great
numbers from the crags of the White
Mountains, from the Catskill and Ad-
irondack region and from the other
sections in which he flourishes. He
arrives with a full wallet, and he and
Miranda proceed to enjoy themselves
in all the luxurious ways that are
possible under the shade of the South
ern palms
Then, when life in the big hotels
pals on them, Miranda returns North
laden with souvenirs of her visit for
friends and relatives, while her hus-
band goes off into the Everglades to
enjoy several weeks of hunting. Some
of the best sportsmen in Florida dur
ing the winter are numbered among
these boarding house keepers. GER
tain Catsl1ill Mountain man is reck-
oned as the best alligator shot that
has visited Florida within the last ten
years. He kills scores during the two
weeks that he hunts them, and the
farm houses round about his birth
place are filled with stuffed alligators
his little remembrances to his
friends.
This particular man not only knows
Florida as he does his own noun
tains: he has hunted all over the coun-
try east of the Rockies as well, and
once went after big game in the Bad
Lands. He is also an expert angler,
and he has worked up and down the
majority of the best known fishing
streams In the states and Canada.
He is, in fact, so well posted on pisca-
torial matters that he is known gem
orally among the devotees of the rod
and reel, and is looked upon by them
as a sort of modern Izaak Walton.
Hunting is one of the leading pas
times of the boarding house keepers
no matter from what section they han.
This is particularly true of the Ca
madam. and while he Is after moose
and deer and salmon and caribou, ne

A party Of four clearinghouse
keepers-three from the Thousand
Islands and one from the Canadian
side of Niagara Falls--last fall and
winter intrepidly pushed their way
northWard into the HUDSON Day COUNT
try almost to the Arctic Circle. They
did not return TO civilization until
June, and during their eight months
that they were away they had eX-

trouble, and see what will happen"
From the Fairy Mopsa.'"
Rosa was now in the city, where the
King lived. She went to the castle to
try to get a position, but could not
get one. One day she saw Prince Ru-
dolph and they both fell in love. She
tried again to get position as kitchen
maid, and could not She was now
ir great trouble. so she broke a pea
with the silver hammer, and there lay
at her feet an immense bag of pearls.
She gave these to the cook and became
kitchen maid. The Prince had now
forgotten all about her, and was in
love with a very handsome, but very
wicked, woman, who did not love him.
He had decided to make her his wife.
When Rosa saw what trouble he was
falling into she wanted to save him,
but she didn't know how to start. So
she broke her second pea and there
lay before her a beautiful little chariot
of gold, drawn by brown steeds, not
a foot high. In the chariot sat
Prince and herself initiated, only very
small. She took this to the Prince.
When he saw it he also saw what Il
mistake he had made. He kissed Rosa
and said: You shall be my bride"
So they were married, and the Prince
succeeded his father to the throne.
Rosa was now worried about Jack. So
she broke her last pea and there was
a note which stated that Jack would
be there soon.
In the meantime Jack had broken
all of his peas and out of every one
there came a wish. First he wished
that he would be happy; second, to be
prosperous, and third to be where
Rosa was. They all came true. He
came and lived with Rosa and never
married. Fairy Mopsa was made god
mother to all of Rosa's children. They
all lived happy together ever after.

QUEER WAYS OF ANTS.
Little Red Ones Perform Faithful

From the Baltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald.
On the stone steps of a house on the
"HilP' are two wooden pillars, a foot
and half apart, among the supports
OF the porch. Recently big, black ants
have been so abundant and aggressive
about one of these posts, in which
they made their home, that all It's
cracks and crevices were puttied up
and 1t was deluged with ant-killing
fluid. Four days ago a tiny, snakeIike
line was noticed between the two pill
lars. 1t crooked and curved and look
ed as II something had crawled
through light coating of dust, leav-
ing Its trail there. On close examina>
tion it proved to be a line of life. 1t
is made up of countless minute req
ants, rushing madly, some In one d.
rection and as many In the other, some
turning to the right and others to the
left, but all OF them all the time hold
ing close to the circuitous route from
one post to the other and making
the snake line or worm line on the
stone step.
During all these four days those lit
tie bugs have been uninterruptedly
busy, whenever they were looked at
night or day. Once the stream was
swept off by a broom. but in a few
minutes the gap was closed and every
thing looked just as 1t had before. APP
parently these creatures are carrying
out Of the disinfected pillar the dis-
membered remains Of the black ants
and depositing them in the pillar that
has not been subjected to treatment.
These small ants are so minute that
they are scarcely perceptible except
in the mass and they can readily slip
in under the base OF the pillars where
the black ones could not 60. None Of
the red ones had been seen hereabout
until this remarkable procession be-
gan its unceasing to-and-fro march.

Church and State.

The movement in France for the sep
aration OF church and State has brought
out a proposition from group of dePu-
ties to submit the question to a referen-
DUN vote of the country. The constl-
tuition contemplates referendum, but it
is only adapted in the case of questions
of the highest Importance. The pro-
posers of the plan assert that the separa-
ton of church and State is vitality i'm.
portant and that it should be submitted
to the country. The proposition, al
though widely discussed, does not re-
ceiye encouragement from Premier
Combes, who says the municipal elt ction'
sufficiently show that the country aP'
proves his policy.
