The following story will illustrate
how this little insect may often be
very useful.
A poor prospector, after travelling
and exploring the mountains for
many years in the vain hope of
making a strike" as it is called in
the mining camps, one day. tired out
exhausted, and completely discour-
aged. lay down in a lonesome spot
far from civilization and fell asleep
He was awakened by a sharp
nip on his left leg and. pulling up
his trousers, he saw a large ant,
which had erawled there and was evil
IDENTITY trying to make dinner off
his leg
lie was not a cruel man, so, in
stead of killing the insect, he brushed
it off. when the little creature raced
away as fast as it could in the direc-
ton of its home, a large ant hill a
few feet distant.
The man looked towards the
mound and in half dreamy, half
sleepy condition watched the little
workers-there were thousands of
them-each one bringing up load of
sand, gravel, or rock from below.
A ray of sunshine fell upon the
mound, which made it sparkle and
scintillate as II ii were gold instead
of dirt and gravel.
Jumping to his feet, he ran over
TO the spot. when, sure enough, all
through the gravel that mad been
hauled out were tiny particles of pure
gold Ii was colony of mining ants,
and by some freak of chance they
had begun their excavations directly
over a rich lead of gold.
The prospector could scarcely be-
lieye his senses. He knelt there in
that wild forest and wept tears of
JOY. Then, catching up his washing
pan. he ran to the creek near by, and
after the fashion of miners washed
out the gold. The first cleanup"
yielded him Two thousand dollars.
Looking further. he found three
other ant hills. and at every one
thousands of the insects were work
ing hard, bringing up gold, gravel,
and sand indiscriminately. He was
a rich man from that time forth.
AS fast as he carried away the hill
the ants would build it up again. He
had sense enough not to kill the
geese who were laying the golden
egg" and instead of digging into the
earth himself he allowed the ants to
do his mining for him.
Every Saturday he paid a visit TO
all the hills and made cleanup"
always realizing a snug little pile of
the beautiful yellow PARTICLES. But
after a while the ants became dis
couraged at the disappearance of
their mounds, and one by one they
gradually abandoned them.
II may perhaps he as well to state
that the story comes from America.

ATLANTIC FLEET IN
HONOLULU HARbOR
FLOWER OF NAVY RETURNING
TO ITS STATION BY WAY
OF THE ORIENT.
Pleasant Weather and Smooth Seas
Make the Voyage One of
Great Pleasure.

Honolulu, July 21.-The Atlantic
battleship fleet has arrived here.
completing another long leg in it's
world cruise. Magnificent beyond
anything ever seen in these waters
was the arrival, as one powerful YES
sci after another rose out of the
Eastern horizon and came in the
range OF vision of the thousands of
spectators from the whole Hawaiian
group OF islands, who thronged Dia-
mond Head and adjoining heights
that stretch beyond Waikiki east
ward from Honolulu to the extremity
of the Island of Oahu.
Nearly all carried American flags,
and from the housetops of the city
f1oated, besides the Stars and Stripes,
flags of almost every nation, Chinese
and Japanese flags predominating.
The formation of the fleet began
to be distinguished when it was
about Is miles distant, and as it
ploughed its course along the south
ern coast of the island it furnished
magnificent spectacle, the vessels
moving slowly in perfect column. A
wind fresh from the northeast blew
the smoke of the vessels off the port
bow.
During the entire run to Honolulu
the fleet experienced pleasant wealth
er and smooth seas. For two hours
or more daily, except on Sunday, the
fleet had tactical evolutions and at
the same time routine drills were
carried on. No noteworthy incidents
occurred on the entire voyage and as
a matter of fact this, the first leg
of long cruise, was rather more
uneventful than is usual.
The fleet never had to stop or slow
down nor did any of the ships have
to fall out of formation through ac-
cidents to machinery or steering
gear. The health of the crews has
been very good and there have been
no deaths or serious accidents since
leaving San Francisco.

ident, Eugent w. Chain, of Chicago.
For Vice-President, Aaron S. Wat
kins, of Ada, Ohio.
The above ticket was nominated
by the Prohibitionist National Con-
vention, both men being chosen
unanimously. The full Endorsement
of the convention was not given to
Mr.. Chain until after three ballots
had been taken.
On the first two ballots Mr.. Chain
did not show much strength, receiv-
ing but 1876 out of 1888 votes on the
first and 376 out of 1887 on the sec
ond ballot His nomination was
practically assured when the rollcall
began for the third ballot. His own
state, which had voted largely for
Daniel r. Sheen, of Peoria, Ill.,. and
the New York delegation, followed
by those of Indiana and Wisconsin,
came over to Mr.. Grain and on the
third ballot he received a total of
636 votes.
Both the Presidential and Vice.
Presidential nominees are candidates
for Governor in their respective
states on the Prohibition ticket.
Eugene w. Chain, who leads the
Prohibition party this year, is an at
torney residing in Chicago. He is a
native of Waukesha, Wis, and for
some years practiced law there. He
was at one time candidate for Gov
ernor of Wisconsin on ire Prohibi-

TN forenoon session Of the con-
yention was devoted to the discussion
and adoption Of a brief platform
which is possibly the shortest on rec
ord, containing not more than 35O

Miners Favor AfiliatiOn.

Denver, July 21.-The question OF
a closer working agreement with the
United Mine Workers of America
was brought officially before the con-
vention of the Western Federation Of
Miners. The matter came up during
the consideration of President Moy-
er's annual report, in which he adj
vocated such an agreement. The dis
cussion brought out the fact that
many members felt union with the
United Miners organizations might
force the Western Federation men to
adopt the check-off and contract sys-
TEN. The latter organization does
not make contracts of any kind.
The fight against affiliation of any
sort was led by George Hutchinson,
but he was badly defeated and the
president was instructed to appoint a
committee of five to devise ways and
means whereby working agreement
can be obtained.

With Pillows in Hospital.
San Francisco, July 21.--A man
climbed over the fence surrounding
Luke's hospital and entered by one
of the windows. He got into the
apartment of Miss Ethel Gurr, one
of the nurses. Miss Gurr emitted q
piercing scream and grabbed a pill
low. At the same time the intruder
caught her by the hair.
A tussel ensued, with Miss Gurr
screaming and beating her assailant
with the pillow He tried to reach
her throat for the purpose of stop
ping her screams, but she managed
to keep him at bay while she grasped
his coat.
The screams of the frightened girl
soon aroused the other nurses, and
in a few minutes there was party
Of 80 recuers on the spot, armed
with pillows and whatever other
weapons the nurses had been able
to pick up in their way to the scene.
The beating of the intruder followed
to the accompaniment of shrill femi-
nine ordinations. In the melee sew
eral of the pillows parted at the
seams and with feathers flying in
clouds the scene resembled the busy
center of a stage snow storm.
In the tussel the intruder was
pushed up against one of the win
dows. There was crash of broken

San Francisco, July 21.-Follow-
ing the flight from Oakland and the
capture in this city of two little girls,
inmates of the West Oakland Home,
and accusations of cruel treatment
made by the children, it is probable
that an investigation will be ordered.
The West Oakland Home is one of
the leading charitable institutions on
the other side of the bay, and sew
eral of the most prominent club and
society women of Alameda county
are known as its patrons. The ac-

Charles Weiland, Once q Preacher in
Los Angeles, Heads Gang.
Los Angeles, July 21.-The dis
covery of fine workshop. estab-
lished by counterfeiters, at the bot
tom OF deep, abandoned shaft in
the old Dominion copper property,
near Globe, Arizona, disclosed an
extraordinary romance of the pulpit
and mines, and clears up counter
feiting mystery without parallel in
the West. Charles Wieland, of this
city, who cast aside the cloth to enter
the ranks of the Socialists, is the
head of the counterfeit gang and has
been arrested and placed in the ter
ritorial prison at Tombstone. His
younger brother, Fred Wieland, aged
21, and his half-brother, Edward
Neaman, both Los Angeles Socialists,
are in the same prison. All were ar
rested by George w. Hazen, of the
United States Secret Service, who
discovered their den and confiscated
their tools and materials.
Hazen has returned with A $40
gold pieces which the trio had doc
tored' and which almost defy detec-
ton, responding to the tests by acid
and by scraping, and having the true
ring. Hazen says they are the most
skillful wOrkmen he has ever known.
They made thousands of dollars by
their criminal operations and the
coins tempered with have been
passed all along the Coast.
Fred Wieland, who studied in a
Y. M. c. A. school here, seems to
have been the mechanical genius. He
invented and made a machine for
shaving the faces of the coins and
removing the milled edges. In the
edge and between the faces copper
was inserted, soldered and pressed
into correct shape in another ma
chine of young Wieland's invention.
So cleverly was this done that banks
took the coins unhesitatingly.
The gold removed was melted into
ingots, after being alleged, and sent
to the United States mint.

Fleeing from the place of his
crime, Conelli was pursued for four
blocks by crowd of a thousand or
more men, women and children, who

vainly to stop him. He finally sought
to elude his pursuers by running into
the residence OF Clifford Leonard,
80 Salmon street, where he was
rooming.
Boiling into his room, Conelli
locked the door, hastily scrubbed two
notes, then sent a bullet through his
own brain. expiring Immediately.
The man and woman whom Co
nelli shot were taken to St. Vincent s
hospital, where the woman died an
,
physicians who attended him holding
out no hope for his recovery.
There are no living witnesses to
the tragedy. Many heard the shots,
but the only one who saw the fren-
zied young Italian fire the shots were
his victims, and he was alone in his
room when he ended his own life.
The woman was shot four times and
Peterkin five times.
Little Is known of the woman. She
was apparently 23 or "a years of
age, and had been employed in To-
cal restaurant. Peterkin was ma
tive of Quebec, Canada, and was an
expert electrician. Conelli had been
in the employ of the Arlington Club
for some time as nightwatchman.

Tacoma, Wash, July 21.-In jan
uary, 1904, Mrs. Minnie Sullivan, OF
Seattle, died. A short time before
her death she increased her insur-
ance in the Women of Woodcraft and
changed beneficiaries, leaving $1,000
to her daughter, Mrs. Rancipher. AT
ter her death Mrs Rancipher, not
knowing she was a beneficiary, paid
but little attention to the insurance.
She visited the secretary of her
mothers lodge and asked If there
was any insurance. She was told
there was none for her Two years
passed and she had forgotten about
it. Then she dreamed that her moth
er had left her $1,000 insurance in
the Women of Woodcraft. The
dream was so strongly impressed on
her mind that she made another in
quiry, only to be told there was nc
insurance in her name.
A short time later the same dream
came again. And week after the
second dream she dreamed 1t third
time. This decided her and she
placed the matter in the hands of ar
attorney. He heard her story with
doubt, but was surprised after ar
investigation to find that she was the
beneficiary to the amount she hac
dreamed. The Women of Woodcraf
refused to pay and lawsuit last
ing two years commenced. Judg
ments were gotten in the lower cour
but were set aside until the supreme
court last week gave Mrs. Ranciphel
Judgment for $1,000.

fore they were carried away from the
