In rilare in ENGLAND a man

o'clock at night and cried ont that
there was q ghost in his back yard.
There were fourteen men in tie
inn. and not one Of them dared to
go home with the man and invcsti-

dared, however. and that was the
landlord daughter, a girl Of four
teen. Some Of the men followed
her at a distance, and She went into
the yard and up to the ghost, flap
ping It's arms about, and discovered
a mans white shirt tapping on the

WONDERFUL MOVING VINE.
One of the Most Interesting Of Ant
Phenomens On Record.

Near The bank 81 the Guadalupe
river saw something green upon
the ground and, hurrying forward,
found q lovely vine with leaves
smaller than those Of the snllax-
OF a pale. tender green The vine
had is root about five feet from the
trunk Of towering cottonwood
tree and spread oqi 90 the ground
four or five inches wide, becoming
little narrower as lt approached
the tree. ! could see no stems or
tendrils, 30 thick was the growth,
and as | drew close to the tree ! saw
that the vine branched just above
tie ground and went climbing up
the great trunk and the branches.
( 1t grew more and more slender un-
til far Up | could distinguish only a
thrcali.ke ire Of green.
As stood intentlv watching the
delicate, graceful vine. became
aware that it was pervaded by a
curious, tgcmulous motion. Then
SIS. that the individual leaves
pere lot stationary. Picking up 8
tw- from the ground, | touched
one oi Tie leaves and found to my
amazcmcnt that there was a brown
4 ant under it about as long rs my
little finger mai Zach leaf was
held in the mandibleS Of an ant IN
such q ray as TO conceal the body OF
the insect, and the ants were coming
down tAe tree. The discovery came
upon me with a shock. ! had STUN
bied on 4 nest Of umbrella ants.
Books lad told me that such ants
were found in the tropics, where
they carried bits Of leaves over their
heads as u to protect themselves
from the sun But mere, on the
banks Of Texas river, had found
colony OF them, shading them
selves where there was no sun and
completely hidden by their covering
Of green.
Charmed at the sight, turned
back to call my companions. who
were fishing in the river Within
fe ard ! met nv husband coming
to look for me. lie was even more
excited over the phenomenon than /
va md Shouted for the Others to
come quickly. On investigation Wa
found that the spot where the vine
seemed to have its root was really
tha opening Of the ant nest. The
tiny rarures had by some instinct
learned that the iopmost branches
of the cottonwood had put out their
FIRST small leaves. They had climb
cd the immense distance and had
cut of and broneht down their
leaves 10 feed their Young ones,

COMPANIONS ON THE ROAD.

Lifc's milestones marking year on year
Pass ever swfter as we near
The final goal the silent end
TO which our fatcd footsteps tend.
n year once seemed a century
Now, like n day II hurries by,
And doubts and fears our hearts opprcss.
And all the way is weariness,
All, me. how glad and gay we were,
Youths sap In all our veins astir,
When long ago with spirits high.
A happy careless company
we started forth, when everything
Wore the green glory OF the spring.
And all the fair wide world was ours,
To gather as We would its flowers,
How all has changed Years have gone
by,
And of that joyous company.
With whom our youth first journeyed on
Who-who are left? Alas, not one,
Love earliest loitered on the way.
Then turned his face and slipped away;
And after him with footsteps light
The ricklc Graces took their flight,
And all tho careless joys that lent
Their rcvelry and merriment
Grew silenter. and. ere we knew,
Had smiled their last and said "Adieu."
Our shadows that we used to throw
Behind us, now before us grow;
For once we walked towards the sun,
But now, LIES full meridian done.
They change, and in their chill We move,
Further away from Faith and Love.
\ chill Is in tho air-no more
Our thoughts with joyous impulse soar,
But creep along the level way.
Waiting the closing of the day.
The Future holds no wondrous prize
This side Deaths awfCi mysteries;
Beyond. what waits for us, who knows ?
New life, or infinite rcpoSc?
