ANTS ARE SMART GARDENERS
They Are Known to Grow Grain,
Sowing and Harvesting Like
Real Farmers.

Man is not the only animal who has
discovered the division of the vege-
table world into weeds on the one
hand and garden plants on the other.
Our ingenious little six-legged work
ers, the ants, have anticipated US in
this, as in so many other useful in
ventions and discoveries. There are
ants in Texas which grow grain, and
each nest owns a small claim In the
vicinity of its mound on which It cul.
tivates a kind OF grass, commonly
known as ant rice.
The claim is circular, about ten or
twelve feet in diameter, and the ants
allow no plant but the ant rice to en-
croach upon the cleared space any
where.
The produce Of the crop they care
fully harvest. though authorities are
still disagreed upon the final question
whether they plant the grain or mere
" allow ii TO SOW its own seed on the
protected area.
One thing. however, is certain
that no other plant is permitted IA
sprout on the tabooed patch. The
ants wage war on weeds far more
vigorously and effectively than our
own agriculturists.

Vanity in Wearing Hair LONG.

The church for hundreds Of years
fought strenuously against long hair,
declaring il to be vain. as doubtless
it was, and is Most of the merry.
pleasure-loving nonarchs in history
and their subjects were The hair in
fastidious and elaborate ways. On
the other hand, the Spar tans. the
stern followers of Cromwell. and the
Puritans wore their hair short The
wax figures in hair=dTessing shops,
adorned with masses Of puTs and
curls, lead one to think that the pres
ent-day methods of hair-dessing are
not unlike those practiced hundreds
of years ago. 1t seems certain that,
while women still continue to con-
slider puffs and switches as part of
the necessary paraphernalia Of the
head, men have discarded long hair
for good and all with the exception
of the few musicians. poets, or pain
tiers who think il incumbent on them
to let their locks grow long.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BROTHER JONATHAN.
BY A. W. MACY.

The name Brother Jonathan"
as applied to America or to
American citizens was formerly
in much more general use than
it is now. It originated during
the War of the Revolution.
After Washington had been ap-
pointed commander of the army
he went to Massachusetts, to
get matters in shape there. He
found a great scarcity of am
nunition and other necessities,
and for a time it seemed almost
impossible to devise adequate
means for the public safety.
Jonathan Trumbull was then
governor Of Connecticut, a man
of perfect integrity and great
common-sense. Washington had
implicit confidence in Trun1-
bulls Judgment, 50 in his per-
Plexity concerning the Massa-
chusetts situation ne remarked,
we must consult Brother JON
athan about this" He did so,
and the governor was Of great
assistance to him. After that,
when diffcuIties arose, it be-
came common TO say, we will
consult Brother Jonathan about
this" and in time Brother JON
athan" became d synonym, SO to
speak, of the United States.
Governor Trumbull looked the
part Of Uncle Sam. He was tail,
saunt, sharp-featured and long,
legged, and usually wore striped
hndsey-woolsey trousers a trifIe
too short.

HANFORDS
RECEIVERS
GROW RICH
UNITED PlEss LEASED wIRH.l

Seattle, Wash, July 13-Two Of the
receivers, who drew enor'
nous fees, and which alleged to have
shown favoritism on the part of
Judge Hanford, and abuse Of judicial
discretion, were called by the congress
sional investigation committee this
morning. They were James A. Kerr,
Of the local firm Of Kerr & McCord,
receiver for the Pacific Packing &
Navigation company and the Pacific
American Packing company and SUIT
cllffe Baxter, who at present is one Of
the receivers of the Western Steel
corporation, who has already got S4O,-
900 in fees out Of this case.
In answer to Representative Mccoy,
Baxeter testified that he had no pro-
fession, that he was not lawyer, and
that he has had seven receiverships
from Judge Hanford in the past four
or five years.
Baxter could not give the exact
dates and detailed facts in connec-
tion with the receiverships which he
held, and was excused to prepare the
data by next Tuesday or Wednesday
Kerr was appointed receiver for the
packing companies by Juge Hanford
March, 1903. In that connection
Judge Hanford is charged with allow.
ing Kerr, as receiver, and the firm o.
Kerr G. McCord, as attorneys for the
receiver, the excessive fee OF $15O,OOO
From the beginning Of Kerr's testi
mony, he clashed with Representative
Mccoy, when the latter insisted upol
finding out what steps Kerr had takel
to ascertain II the capital stock il
the companies had been paid up.
Kerr said he did not get the treas
ury book from its custodian in New
Jersey, and so never proceeded t
make stock subscribers pay up.
Kerr, It developed, was attorney TO
the two companies up to the time o
their failure. When Mccoy insiste
in questioning Kerr what actual step
he had taken, according to the law
of New Jersey, to get the treasur
/, book, Kerr got mad and said that h
had been pressed far enough" in tha
direction.
The witness was given to under
stand by Chairman Graham that h
was not to decide what questions ar
to be asked Of him. Kerr said thG
he could not recollect that he col
suited his attorney and partner, M
cord, about the matter
Kerr's examination was continue
this afternoon.
