Every Industrious human life that is
Successful always cO-Operates with
other lives. Every ideal human or
ganization on a large scale must be a
perfect human ant hive. Everywhere
human talent should be specialized.
What especial niche are you going
to fill in the great human beehive?
When l 90 and closely examine the
wonderful mosaic floors and walls
and ceilings of the Alhambra Of the
old Spanish MIoOrs l do not find these
individual stones very valuable in
themselves. Many of them are only
common pebbles that we might spurn
with our feet in the street gutter But
when these common pebbles, as in
dividuals. are cut and polished and
placed side by side in contrast with
other stones they form the beautiful
mOsaies Of the Alhambra, which are
one of the marvels Of this century.
You as an individual may not amount
to much, but if cut and polished and
fitted into the right niche for which
you were intended by God you can be-
come part of the perfect walls Of the
Temple Beautiful. Like the ant, will
you be a worker, living under au-
thority? Will you be a cooperative
worker? viii you serve the commu-
nifty in which you live by doing the
work for which you are especially fit
ted by brain and body. as faithfully
and willingly and wisely as the single
ant performs her allotted task in a
great busy home hive?
The ant teaches man more than les
sons of activity and wisdom and Co
operation. Some men may be active
and worldly wise and yet have a heart
as dead to all kindness and love as is a
stone. The ant is essentially a spirit
ual as well as a temporal teacher. She
man the laws Of love and mer- /
cy and gentleness. She teaches these |
spiritual lessons more powerfully, be-
lieve, than any insect or reptile found |
In the studies of the biologists. Some |
years ago, to prove whether ants knew |
each other and cared for their own, /
took two bottles and covered |
their mouths with muslin. In one of |
these bottles he placed two strange
ants. In the second he placed two
friendly ants. Then the naturalist
placed these two bottles in front of the
of an ant hive. At once the
ants swarmed forth by the hundreds.
With their mandibles they tried to
break through the muslin covering Of
he strange ants and destroy them, but
'or their friends they had not a stroke
Tor a blow.
An Ants Tenderness.
Not only will ants refuse to attack
)ne Of the members of their own hive,

Wev- Yes. But study the ants as sol.
diers and submissive members Of their
/ great cooperative social organizations.
! In a factory the cogs fit into each 9TH
er. Because of this perfect fitting the
great leather bands move round and
the spindles fly, the elevators lift and
the walking beams rise and fall, the
hammers strike and the wheat is
ground and the wood is cut, and the
shoe and the ak and the saw and the
chair and the stove are offered for sale
by the city merchantmen Because of

and say unto one, Coz and he goeth,
and to another, Gomez and he cOmeth
and to my servant, DO this and he
doeth it." Thus, while we find that
men as well as wheels may be set I'M
der authority, we find that ants are al
so set under authority.
These ants obey their leaders just as
submissively as the soldiers Of the
British army obeyed Lord Roberts in
the BOer war or the American soldiers
Obeyed Lee or Grant during our late
civil strife. When the commanding |
general Of the ants gives the order
Forward. march," the great hosts of |
ants fall into line. They tramp along |
in companies, in regiments, in bri-
gades, in great divisions. They have |
their officers, their advance guards and |
their soldiers to protect the rear. When
they bivOuac for the night they seem
to throw out their picket lines, as did
William T. Sherman on his march from
Atlanta to the sea. The ants of Mica
ragua always march in phalanxes Of
from four to six yards square. When
these great armies of invasion or mi
grafton cease their marching and go to
building houses they disband as quiet
" and work at the vocatiOns OF peace
as zealOusly as did the soldiers of the
ate civil war when they disbanded
ifter the famous Washington review.
When these ants are living at the home
live each individual member Of the ant
seems to have her appoint
d place. Some ants are detailed to
work upon the roof; some go foraging,
while others take care of the bitches;
ONE hunt food, while others stay at
Ome and clean the eggs. Each ant is
small atom. but each ant is part Of a
reat army or community, which moves
nd works in concert. And because
hese ants do work and march in con-
ert they can devastate whole forests.
hey can make the lions and the ele-
hantine monsters turn and fee for
heir lives; they can build towns and
tiles; they can be the uncrOwned :
ings Of the fields. Every living crea-
are stands in fear and dread OF them.

presentation to the insular legislature for
the protection of the municipalities and the
granting to them of autonomy. Several
speeches bitter in tone were made against
centralizing the power In the island in the
hands OF the secretary of Porto Rico and
the executive council.

and several of the delegations present were
headed by mayors r. H. Todd, mayor of
San Juan. initiated the movement. and was
the chairman of the convention His rea-
son for calling the members of the munich
palities together was the growing anti
American feeling throughout the island
One result of the convention is the perma-
nent establishment of organization

League, with Mayor Todd as president

INSURANCE EVILS DENOUNCED.
Scathing Criticism Of Company Meth
DDS by Massachusetts, Oficial.

Scathing criticism, pointed condemnat ton.
and fierce denunciation of the methods and
course OF the big insurance companies
characterize the annual report of Frederick
L. Cutting, commissioner of insurance Of
Massachusetts, issued at Boston yesterday

nection with 'the gambling instinct of the
age" and tells of the influence upon the

Found Dead in Bed.

William Geringer, an old and wide
Iy known resident of the Fourth Ward.
was found dead in bed Friday after
noon.
The deceased was in his usual health
Friday. About flour months ago he
seemed to suffer physioal decline and
during the interim did no work. OF
late, however, he had rallied. and dur
ing the present week resumed work at
the big mill. He was working at night
and had put in three turns.
On returning home from the mill
Friday morning he informed his
wife that work went better than it
did Just after starting in three days
ago and that he was feeling quite
we'll During the forenoon he went to
bed and seemed to re very we'll. Dur
ing the afternoon he was awake and
requested his wife to call him at
half past four so that he might be at
the mill in good time.
At half past four O'Clock Mrs. Ger
niger went up stairs to awaken her
husband and found him dead in bed.
DR.. Shultz was called, who stated that
the cause of death was heart failure.
The sudden demise Of the husband
and father proved great shock to the
family.
William Geringer was 81 years of
age. He grew TO manhood in Danvllle
and lived here during the remainder
of his life. For many years he was
employed at the blast furnace of Wat
erman & Beaver. Later he worked in
the rolling mill of the Reading Iron
Works. He was an industrious man
of generous impulses and had the es.
TEEN of his fellowmen.
Besides his wife he is survived by
four sons and two daughters: Joseph,
Samuel. John and Theodore Gerlnger
and Misses Elizabeth and Anna Ger
niger, all Of Danville.

A Machinist'S Bad Injury.

George Ricketts,, Church street, q
machinist employed by the Reading
Iron Company, met with q most sing
ular accident on Saturday last which.
it is feared, may result very badly.
Tie accident happened about 8 80
O'CLOCK in the afternoon. He was en-
gagged in removing key from a key
seat in a shaft and while hammering
upon it a splinter Of steel struck his
right forearm just above the wrist. A
small though very deep out was made,
severinR the tendons which control the
TWO middle fingers of that hand. The In
jury is most serious one, as while the
injured man can close the two middle
fingers he has no power TO open them.
The most careful and scientific treat.
meut is required in order to insure the
possibility of ever regsining the use
of the two fingers.
Under the circumstances il was
thought best that the Injured man
should have hospital treatment. He
accordingly left Sunday afternoon
for the German Hospital in Philsdel-
phia
