What to do for Ants.

The following is taken from the current
issue of Farm and Fireside:
A Iowa reader is puzzled how 10
keep ants from hi spansies. 1 cannot Inn
agine what the ants want from pansies or
other healthy plants. They do not feed on
sound plant-tissue. But when plants are
infested viii aphis plant lice). ants are
sure to come and feast on the nectar ne
creted by these lice: The remedy. Of
then you will usually get rid Of the ants.
Spray lice-infcsted plants with strong to-
bacco water. or some other tobacco prep
%aration. especially from the underside. or
emulsion. Sometimes ants become trou-
biesome by building their great nests in
cultivated ground. or in sod. or near trees
or shrubs. In that case, procure a guam
tity of bisuiphid Of carbon, punch a hole
into the ant hill, and pour a tablespoonful
or two into 1t. then quickly cover the hole
with earth 30 that fumes of the drug have
to pervade all through the ant nest. That
will quickly put a stop to the nuisa nce."

EASY IF YOU KNOW HOW.

Uncle Joe Cannon. that famous old
war horse. says there is only one thing
that worries him. He doesn't know
how to spend h time between mid
night and bedtime. 1t is very easy if
one only knows how. Here are some
of the things Uncle joe might do:
Read several chapters of a good
book with gilt covers and flexible leath-
er cover, which usually reposes on the
parlor table N Is put I'm all of the
hotel rooms by the Gideons.
Play a nice long game of solitaire.
Write a historical novel.
Go on an automobile joy rid with
a party of cornwall spirits.
SIT down and eat three or four or
ders Of lobster a Ia N%ewburg.
But the best place to spend the time
between midnight n bedtime is in
bed.

WEALTH.

A pipe. a book,
A place to sit
And watch the birds
OF summer fit
From Dough to Dough,
And MARBLE lays
OF gladness brought
BY summer days.
a hammock in
A shady place.
A chanceto look
On natures face
In admiration
OF her charms
We find so oft
Wherever the tides
or commerce flow.
A chance to stop
Beside the way
Retiring from
The worldly fray.
A chance to drop
The care of life.
Forgetting all
OF worldly strife.
To have content
And easy mind,
And pleasant thoughts
OF humankind.
Enough to eat
And perfect health.
That's what makes up
Our dream of wealth!

HOW TO BE HAPPY.

the slide trombone n then you will

The Orator Who Nearly Lost His Pant,

In the September American magazine
appears the following about a delegate at
the Baltimore convention who made u
speech:
.'The crowd listened approvins,y to a
frenxied speech from a northwestern
statesman who introduced an entirely new
gesture. With his right hand out
stretched he made wild clutches at his
boulder with his left hand thumb. 1t
turned out that this was no mere a~ffecta-
ton to emphasize his rhetoric. hut that
his .galluses' were slipping. He remarked
to a fellow delegate as ne came down the
platform: L durn near lost my pants.'"

THINGS TO Talk ABOUT.

There is many a singer In concert
who would make a bigger personal hit
If she would appear exclusively as yell
mistress of a Vassar football crowd.
1t takes the English a long time to
see n joke. and yet they see a good
many American newly rich society peo-
pie.
A mar with red hair. a wooden leg
and a harelip IS never much OF a
success as a fugitive from Justice.
Even the detectives are apt to recoR-
nize him.
An average of seven oil stoves that
won't smell are invented in this country
every day.
Talking machine discs be used
as pie plates. This Ia about the most
satisfactory 8 to which they can be

And ride. 1t matters not how far,
Upon a fine n breezy seat
| can defy the sultry heat.
| i the happy pickup crowd.
The warning bells that clang so loud,
And when along the rails we zip
1t makes a fine and dandy trip.
l don't believe that l would care
To do my riding in the air
Like Beachey does or Orville Wright
/ like to Know where l will light.
l don't call autoing much fun;
| almost never ride in one.
And carriage riding pals on me.
It's tame so far as I can see.
Somehow or other l don't like
To go out riding on q bike
And motor boating to my mind
Is riding of a tedious kind.
OF cource, maybe some folks will think
That my idea is on the blink.
But 1 will tell the reason why
The street car ride I'm swearing by,
A simple hint will quite suffice,
1t is a matter Of the price.

n FAT MAN.

I tell you when a feller's fat
His friends all nave a notion that /.
They've got a call to criticise.
They pull a very CHASTITY sigh
And say he's surely goin' to die
If he don't take some exercise.
They tell him he is gainin' fast.
He's bigger much this week than last
And all that sort OF cheering news.
They tell him he's a lazy lout
And on the way to suffer govt
So personal are all their views.
They tell him he's got no ambish
And that 1t is their fondest wish
He wouldn't always eat so much
They say that, In this life to win,
A feller's got to train down hin
And tell him he's soon need a crutch.
In theaters. the folks behind
Tell him he's got an awful rind
To spoil their chance to see the show.
When. IN the car, he's got the sand
TO take a seat while others stand.
They label him the hog you know.
And when he goes to buy a suit
The tailor You big galoot.
You'll pay just twice what others
pay"
When he walks by, folks cry aloud:
"Oh. my. there goes an awful crowd.
Must be a side show here today"
But still. when all is said and done,
No matter II he weighs a ton,
No vain regrets will he allow.
He thinks that every skinny cuss
In knockin' cause he's envious
The TAT mans happy, anyhow.

THE BURGLAR.

1t was near midnight's holy hour,
In vain we courted sleep,
The Shadders was a%-dancing round
And made our nerves all creep,
When suddenly we heard a sound,
A soft step on the stair,
We gazed into the hall, and 10,
A burglar bold was there.
He acted perfectly at home
And noticed US.
He yer about his business.
Without the slightest fuss.
He have known he vas observed,
OF that we could have vowed.
Flo when he took some of our stuff
We chuckled right out loud.
When mainlaws false teeth he took,
We smiled chock full Of glee.
This burglar was a kind gazabe,
A jolly rogue was he.
And when he took Bills monograph
And dropped it in his sack,
We Laughed SO loud we could be heard
To Timbuctoo and back.
He carried off our coo-coo clock
And 1t ne'er more will tell
OF our arrival nightly and
Sound our domestic knell.
And when he tool u wife's pink hat
We hate from tip to brim.
We felt like getting out of bed
And shaking hands with him.
He vol ~ parrot and we yelled
Aloud in fiendish mirth.
And then got up n helped him pack
For all that we were worth.
We handed him a good cigar
And made hin promise that
Whenever he came round this way
He'd burglarixe our fiat.

-on, Miss, Jan, 13.-That the
noerS for work in the chancery courts
are too long is the opinion Of Sena-
tor Clayton Pottr of Kinds, who is
preparing a bill which will give the
employees of the courts more time for
themselves during the long summer
afternoons.
The code of 1906 provides that the
office of the sheriff and chancery
ceurt shall be opened at $3.50 o'clock
in the morning. and shall remain
open until o'clock in the evening,
summer and winter alike. The long
hours do not facilitate the work of
the courts, nor is 1t great convent
ence to the members of the bar. The
clerks are forced to remain in the
office until the stroke of six, and Of
times at that hour but few attorneys
are in their offices.
The bill proposed by Senator Pot
ter has met with the approval Of law
yers and laymen. 1t provides for
amending the code SO as to provide
for the opening of the clerks office
and the sheriff's office at $50 O'clock
