An English scientist weighed a small
ant and dead grasshopper which it
was dragging to its nest. The weight
of the grasshopper was found to be
sixty times greater than that Of the
ant. The force exerted by the ant in
dragging the grasshopper along the
road was therefore prOportionately
equal to that of man weighing $50
pounds pulling a load of four and one

DEATH RESULT OF
VIOLENT ATTACK
Saloon Porter Seized With De-
hrium Tremens, Dies in
Less Than an Hour.
FIGHTS INVISIBLE FOE
Came to This City From Kentucky
Last Fall and Has No Rela-
tiVes Here.

Screaming in mortal fear, fighting,
kicking and struggling against an in
visible foe, his eyes protruding from
his head and an expression of great
terror on his face. David Rodman,
porter at the saloon of Billy Rice,
21O7 Fourth avenue, died a terrible
death last night when seized with an
attack of the delirium tremens. The
attack came about 1920 when he
was seated in the soft drink parlor.
He was taken 20 room upstairs and
Dr.. c. T. Foster summoned. but
his struggles came to an end shortly
after IL O'Clock, death being due to
tuberculosis and acute alcoholism.
The body was removed to Knox's
undertaking parlors.
A HEAVY DRINKER.
Rodman, according TO the state
ments of men around Rice's place,
was killed by booze and cigarets. He
had pulled the deadly Co lin nails SO
necessarily that hls-lungs Were-prac-
tically gone, and a racking cough pro-
claimed the fact that he was in a los
ing fight against the deadly germs Of
tuberculosis. Excessive and heavy
drinking had also made inroads OIL
his vitality and during the last three
or four days Rodman had said from
time 70 time, Boys, I'm beginning to
see them"
ATTACKED SUDDENLY.
Rodman was seated in the soft
drink parlor during the evening and
seemed to be feeling as well as usual.
About 1880 he suddenly stiffened,
his eyes became glazed and he with
ed as though in great agony. He was
carried upstairs, placed upon a bed
and a physician summoned, but his
struggles gradually became weaker
and all efforts TO prolong his life
were unavailing. 1t was evident that
he was in the last stages of consump
ton.
IN CITY SHORT TINE.
Rodman had been employed as por.
ter by Billy Rice since last October
He came 20 this city from Kentucky
and is believed to have relatives IL
California. He was born in Ohio in 1875
and was single. Billy Rice and

Tho Life Of the Farmer from Diff

warn my countrymen that the great
recent progress made in city life is not
a full measure of our civilization; for
our civilization rests at bottom on the
wholesomeness, the attractiveness, and
the completeness, as well as the pros
perity, of life in the country. The
men and women on the farms stand for
what is fundamentally best and most
needed in our American life. Upon the
development of country life rests ulti-
mately our ability, by methods of farm
ing requiring the highest intelligence,
to continue to feed and clothe the hun
CRY nations; to supply the city with
fresh blood, clean bodies, and clear
brains that can endure the terrific
strain of modern life; we need the de-
velopment of men in the open country,
who will be in the future, as in the
past, the stay and strength of the
nation in time of war, and it's guiding
and controlling spirit in time of peace.

FORMER BARRE MAN KILLED
BY HIS AUTO.
Arden A. Flint Lost His Life When
Machine Fell on Him.

Arden A. Flint, formerly a resident
of Barre and recently living in Albany.
N. T., where he was engaged in the
granite business, was crushed to death
beneath his automobile in an accident
near Albany last Thursday night. Mr..
Flint went away from Barre about fif-
teen years ago, assisting shortly there
after in the organization of the Flint
Granite Co. of Albany.
They were going down the crossroad
at moderate rate of speed. MIR.
Flint having the wheel and Mr.. Bless
ing at his side. The road is narrow
and the snow quite deep. After pass
ing the residence of George King, Mr..
Flint noticed telegraph pole to his
right and must have miscalculated the
distance and swung out of the beaten
path to the left, where a deep ravine
skirted the road. Blessing, seeing the
course the machine was taking, cried
out in alarm to Flint, Throw the wheel
to the right, but the warning came too
late for the left wheels were just leav-
ing the embankment Blessing, who
was on the left hand side, jumped just
as the automobile went over the en-
bankment, made several turns and fell
upon Mr.. Flint, killing him instantly.
Mr.. Flint was forty-three years of
age and came to the city from YER
mont twenty-five years ago. Since that
time he has been connected with the
marble and granite business of Albany
and Troy.

MAY BE FORCED TO TAKE
STUMP.
Roosevelt is Said to Be Receivin 9
Letters From Various Parts of
the Country, Urging Him
Io Do So.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, March 11-Col.
Roosevelt has about made up his mind
to take the stump and personally make
the fight in various parts of the country
! for the presidential nomination. He
said Saturday that he probably would
be forced to do so, although he said he
had been reluctant to decide upon such
course.
Since the day COL Roosevelt's an
nouncement that he was willing to ac-
cept the nomination he has been urged
by supporters in almost every state, ex-
cept in the South, to take up speech
making campaign. 1t has been repre-
sented to himsthat in several states the
voters were in doubt, and that if he
would appear before them the result
might be materially affected. Cover
nor Stubs of Kansas sent a messase
Friday, urging the colooel to make
speeches in Kansas, Michigan, Illinois,
Massachusetts and other states in which
the Roosevelt leaders believe there is
the best:chance for effective work.
Col. Roosevelt said he would not OBJ
ject to making few speeches, but that
as soon as he accepted any invitation
of the sort he probably would have
others pressed upon him, and might find
it difficult to refuse. In addition to
his scheduled speeches, he has been
obliged on his trips in the past to talk
from his train to crowds at the railway
stations wherever stops were made, and
he has found the strain such a severe
one, that he hesitates to undertake it
again.
He said however, that it probably
would be necessary for him to do So
1t is likely that he will make his first
speeches soon, owing to the urgent re-
quests to:act speedily, which he has re-
ceived in the last few days.
Col. Roosevelt took rest Saturday
His services as juror were not re-
quired, as there was no session of court,
