The Intelligence Of Carpenter Ants.

From Harper's Magazine.
once casefully studied large colony Of
carpenter ants that for several years had
lived and wrought within the heavy corper
beam of flour-mili at Bellwood PennsvI-
vania- One gang dropped the pellets from
crack In the Pinch beam which openad
into the next. These fell upon a cross-heam
eighteen inches beneath, where another
group of workers gathered them up and
dropped them upon the stairway that led
from the lower story, the next being sit
uated above the second floor
The miller who had been about the nrano-
ises FOR several years, said that when he
FIRST came the ants had a third gang de-
tailed upon the stairway. several feet below
who cleared OFF the dumpage and dropped
1t to the floor. But as he swept the stairs
daily, the emmets discovered that their de-
tall for duty In that quarter was not need

on as saw 1.-THE clippings cast from the

dropping cuttings. which formed a little
heap upon the ground. Workers wrought
upon this pile. carrying pellets piece by
piece to the pavement curb and casting
them into the gutter.
1t was interesting and amusing to watch
the little creatures in this act. Having
reached the curbstone the wee porter
would rear upon her hind legs. poise her
self a moment thus. then bending forward

forefeet were used for this being raised to
the side OF the face and placed against the

was hurled away. Then would follow sew

particles Of dust.
A gentle breeze blowing at the time, lifted
up the elected cutting and carried ii down
the gutter. which for several feet was
strewn with pellets. In some way these EN-
met porters seemed to have grasped the
fact that the breeze aided the disposal OF
the chfppage, which therefore need cause no
further concern.

Miss Alma Hanson died at the
home of her parents two miles south
west of Villas, at 1885 Sunday
evening May 2oth after an illness of
about five weeks. The funeral was

ents, four brothers and a host of
friends to mourn her loss.
Miss Hanson grew up to woman
hood in the community in which She
died and enjoyed the good will and
respect of all who knew her. Early
in her illness she realized that the
end vas near and gave herself over
50 the tender care of the divine
father who know what is best and
doeth all things well and whom she
had endeavored to serve with an
unfaltering trust during the later
years of h,I life TA,rg she IS
sadly missed by relatives aud friends
it's felt that she has only gone en-

DECORATION DAY

Decoration Day in Chanute was
celebrated in the usual way. The
stores closed and business was
practically suspended.
The forenoon was devoted to the
decoration of graves, not of the old
soldiers alone, but the citizens
generally who had relatives buried
in Elmwood took this occasion of
decorating the last resting place of
loved ones.
The demand for flowers was never
so great in the city. The supply at
the green house was early exhausted
but the private yards and gardens
came to the rescue and demands
seemed to be well supplied.
At three in the afternoon the peo-
pie met in the Hetrick to do further
honor to the memory of the dead
heroes whose bones lie mouldering
on many a southern battlefield in
unmarked graves, in local burying
grounds, or national cemeteries.
The building was well filled
with the best citizenship of Cha
mute.
Music was furnished by Elder
Kitchens Sunshine Chorus and the
address delived by ex-Congressman
Funston.
Mr., Fanston still retains much OF
his old time vigor, and held and
entertained his audieece to the last.

to an acute stage. The senate will

and it looks like it can do nothing
short of expulsion.
Burton now has first class
chancel to resign and simplify the
situation, This is what he should
do. He is now and has been for a
good while simply drawing his
salary without performing any SER
vices for the state. He should gel
