Antn n Riterr.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws. considering the
Eize Of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold on with a wonderful
grip Of the jaws. even after all Of their
legs have been bitten of by other ants.
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
elinging with a death hold to one an
other. making a peculiar spectacle,
some with a leg gone and some with
half the body gone. One singular fact
Is that the grip OF an ants jaw is re-
tanned even after the body has been
bitten on and nothing but the head re-
mains.

Mrs. Stamm, Twenty Years an In
valid, Passes Away.

The death of Mrs. Belle Stamm oc-
Cured at her home on South Clinton
street Friday evening, June 10Th, 1906.
She had been in poor health for num-
Der of years and was a great suffer at
times. Since the sudden death of her
husband, G. W. Stamm, some years ago,
life has held but little for her and her
demise was longed for relief and one
that held in it hope for a happier life
beyond where she could join her COM
panion and be at rest in that union
which knows no severing.
The end came unexpectedly to her
friends. She left no family of her own.
Funeral services were conducted from
her late residence at 2:30 p. m. last Sun
day by Rev. John E. Spencer Of the
Presbyterian church, of which she had
long been member. A large concourse
of friends and neighbors were present
to pay respects to her memory and fol-
low her remains to their last resting
place beside her husband in Oak View
cemetery. Ed. S. Downs had the funer-
al in charge and the following persons
acted as pail bearers: Thos. Hcken-
looper, John White, Nat billiard, John
Clark, ]. j. Pascoe and F. M. Weber.

month and two days old and had resided
in Abba nearly all of her married life
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Lewis Arnold and was born in Putnam
county, Indiana. She came with hel
parents to Monroe county, Iowa, in 1916
and was married to Mr.. Stamm in 1866
She was faithful wife and friend, a
good Christian woman and in her early
days was an active worker in the church
and one of the social leaders of Abba

What a Wise Wife Knows.

She knows that home is more than
half what you make it, and that a build
er of happy home is success indeed.
She knows that it takes two to prolong
a family quarrel one can therefore ter
inmate it. She knows that filling a
house with bargains keeps couple
from owning the house in which they
place them. She knows that if we
thought all we said we'd be foolish.
She knows that some people sheer at
love in cottage; but love that could
wish to live anywhere else is not
love. She knows that proud people
seldom have friends. In prosperity
they know nobody; in adversely nobody
knows them, says Woman's Life. She
knows that to make long lived friend
ships one must be slow in gaining them.
She knows that the woman who gains a
trif1e meanly is meaner than the trihe
She knows that sit is less pain to learn
in youth than to be ignorant in old age.
She knows that if she cannot throw
brightness over her home it is best not
to throw wet blanket over it. She
knows that the wife who thinks she is
perfect is generally the most imperfect
