are not Quarrelsome, and fight only in
self-defense. So peaceably inclined
are they that other species of ants are
allowed to come into their clearings
and throw up their tiny crescent
shaped mounds of earth, and even to
attack and chase such thoughtless
mound builders" as happen to pass
too near them. Indeed, they carry
this peaceful disposition to a point
where they permit the common ter
mite and some species of ants to live
with them in the chambers Of their
nests and to partake of their stored
food.
The ant colonies are too scattering
to materially decrease the yield of any
crop; they are chiefly troublesome as
an obstacle to harvesting.
To attempt to NOW through or over

started on business trip to town rs
miles distant. The journey was to be
made by automobile and he promised
to return in time for seven o'clock din

But no husband appeared when din

watched the hands of the clock as
they journeyed on and announced
that the hour was midnight, and still
the husband failed to appear. The
frantic wife sent kilograms to six

chambers of their nests and, decaying,
form passageways for the entrance Of
water.
In many of the mounds the ants
go and come through one opening; in
others they have two or three such
passageways, and in one exception
ally large mound the occupants had
eight openings.
The interior of the mound is honey
combed with chambers and galleries.
The chambers vary from one to three
inches in diameter and from one-half
to one inch in height. The connect
ing galleries have uniform diameter
OF about three-eights of an inch. Sealed
and unsealed storerooms filled with
seeds occur throughout the nest. Lar
vac, pupae, and young ants occupy
many Of the chambers.
Seeds of various kinds are carried
by the workers into the nest The
hulls are torn of, carried out and
dumped at one side of the clearing
and the plump, sound seeds stored
away in the storerooms.

1t is well known that singing, like
whistling, is a fine exercise for the
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, Of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit of
taking the big deep breath, which is a
primary requisite Of any kind of sing
ing, bad or good, and the physical

you to relapse into lazy breathing.

SLEUTH SAYS BEN
GILBERT IS BAD Man;
TELLS Of THE CASE

The story of the methods employ
ed to force a confession from Ben
Gilbert, the former local depot mes
sengerf of the Globe Express COM
pany, that enabled the company to
recover the $4,000 taken from the
safe two weeks ago, are told by Spe-
cial Agent w. Z. McCafferty of Pueb-
10 in an interview with a paper in
that city. McCafferty claims practi-
cally all the credit for the undertak-
ing and talked freely with the news
papermen. The following is his story
of his work on the case:
Il arrived in Grand Junction last
Tuesday morning, Immediately after
the robbery had been discovered, and
in company with w. C. Shores, spe-
cial agent of the Globe Express com
pany, Sheriff Charles Shrader and R.
E. Kirkright, special agent of the
Denver G. Rio Grande, went to work
on the case.
I'm the first place. it is a fact long
since established that fictitious
story of crime always has a weak
point. No matter how clever the
criminal or how intricate the plot.
there is always some little thing left
undone or forgotten.
I've noticed at once that the story
told by Gilbert was just a trifie weak
in one place. 1t was regarding the
blow which he claimed to have been
struck upon the head by the robbers
and the time which was required for
him to regain consciousness and to
extricate himself from the bonds and
gags with which he claimed the rob-
bers piled him.
To all appearances we did not
even suspicion either of the men who
later confessed, and Gilbert remained
at his work.

was about the same time that Gilbert
said the robbers came to his office,
