An Ant Story.

Something new and interesting about
ants was recently learned by florist
For week or so he had been
bothered by ants that got into boxes
OF seeds which rested on shelf.
To get rid of the ants he put into
execution an old plan. which was to
place II neaty bone close by. which the
ants soon covered, deserving the boxes
OF seeds.
AS soon as the bone became thickly
Inhabited by the little creepers the
florist tossed it into a tub of water.
The ants having been washed of. the
bone was again put In use as trap.
The florist bethought himself that lie
would save trouble by placing the bone
In the center of sheet of fly paper.
believing that the ants would get
caught on the stick fly paper while
trying 10 reach the food. But the for
list was surprised TO find that the ants,
upon discovering the nature of the pa
per trap. formed working force and
built a path on The paper clear to the

The material for the work was sand.
secured from little pile near by. For
hours the ants worked. and when the

back parlors with the aid of search

Bachelors are nomadic be nature

The Doctor Away From Home
When Most Needed.

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like cramp
collie and cholera morbus require
prompt treatment, and have in many
instances proved fatal before medicine
could be procured or a physician sum-
moned. The right way is to keep at
hand bottle of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe better medi-
cine for these diseases. By having it
in the house you escape much pain and
suffering and all risk. Buy it now; it
may save life. For sale by j. H.

BITS OF BY-PlAY

There is a somebody on the Louis
Vile Daily Times who contributes
something like a column TO its pages
under a special caption. The sign
board at the head Of the column
reads "All Around the Town.
This signboard is decorated around
the edges with an eight point linotype
border which produces a sort of park
flower bed effect.
We started to say this somebody
was a bright young man, but upon
reflection we decided it might be a
bright young lady. Be that as it
may, the column brightens ny the
pages of the Times. In the issue Of
July md there appears story OF a
certain woman who bought mourn
ing from a well known Fourth Ave
nue. merchant She explained that
her daughter was about to die. \
week later she brought the mourning
goods back and informed the clerk
that her daughter did not die.
This reminds us of something that
occurred in Critteuden county sever
al years ago and we tell 1t here for
the truth. We will name the man
Jones-John Jones. He lived a
few miles from Marion in the COUP
try. Mrs. John Jones became very
Ill and was expected to die. She
fingered for months and finally after
being in this condition about one
year she did die In week or so
after the funeral Mr.. Jones married
again and IN few days thereafter
he sat at meat in Marion. The good
woman of the house felt called upon
to direct the flow of conversation and
having heard of Mr.: Jones recent
marriage she innocently asked,
"Mr. Jones, how long has your
first wife been dead?'
This was like bolt of lightning
out of clear sky and Mr.. Jones
halted and ,tammered,
