Johnny had to tell Peter that that little
Chuck had been caught because he
thought himself smart that he didn'
need to mind and when the danger
signal had been sounded he hadn't run as
his two little brothers had.

PROF. ALExANDER's DUNBAR AT
SHORTER

What Shakespeare is to English
literature, Dunbar is to American lit
erature The depths, the subtlety,
the profound and philosophical
thoughts used by Dunbar in his orig
inal poems and poetry make him
stand out prominent as a sweet sing
er of Ethiopia. His ''Dirge" is ten
der dainty, intense and beautiful, but
his masterpiece is Ere sleep comes
down to soothe the weary eyes.
When one considers the youthfulness
of the heart and hand that penned
the poem one is filled with wonder
and amaze. The fifth verse is per
feet from every literary angle and it
is as profound as "hanatopsis" and
as musical as "Hiawatha," or any of
the standard poems of the world All
of this and more, too, Prof. Alexander
showed Monday night in his excellent
lecture on Dunbar" at Shorter
church. Paul Lawrence Dunbar's
poems will never be thoroughly ap-
preciated by this generation. His pc
culiar style, original character, pure
and dialect English, tender and sym
pathetic regard for humanity as well
as forbearance under broken health
make him easy the superior of many
American writer's. He gave his dia-
lect dignity, a charm and a person
ality, informing the world what souls
and tender feelings even slaves have
and how their thoughts and feelings
were expressed The lecture was
fine and Rev. Pope ought to be heart
lily congratulated for having such
benefit for Denver folk. More Ne
groes will study Dunbar now like
they study Shakespeare in order to
get the real scenes, the story and
the motives that prompted the au-
thor to write. His life's struggles
are strained through nearly all his
$50 poems and when read they move
your heart to say, Alas! Poor Dun
bar. Come again, Prof. Alexander,
we need you often.

Utility of their waist chat is, the re-
eon between the thoraX and the ahdo-
mem enables them to direct their poison
without coming to close quarters. When
nest is attacked and partially demol-
ished the sterile females or workers
hurry to points of advantage and eject
formic acid into the air. The pungept
fumes tend to disconcert and drive
away the enemy and there can be no
question that ant battles are often Won
without the infiction OF Il single wound
Ants are probably more aggressive
than any other insects. They constantly
make raids upon neighborins nests, and
pHlage the stores. Some species, as is
well known, actually engage in cam
pagn for the sole purpose of obtaining
a supply of slaves. Slave-making auts
usually attack the communities of spec
les smaller than themselves and after
terrorizing or driving out the adult in
habitants. carry off all the grubs and
pupae that they can find. These they
convey TO their own nest; ana when the
mature ants appear, they are caused TO
play the part of domestic drudees In the
nest of their captors The slaves prove
themselves industrious and decile, and
it is remarkable fact that, although
. they are apparently free To come and 80
as they please, they never attempt to
escape. 1t has been proved that certain
, ants are completely dependent upon
their slaves They are fed, cleaned and
, even carried about by their interchangeable
, helpers: and il by chance they should be
deprived of this assistance. they ahso-
lutey refuse to eat, and soon die. one
rare European ant has no worker cast.
/ After mating with a male, the female
! obtains access to the nest of another
! species She then kills the ri2htful
queen, and (hy what arts has not yet
| been discovered contrives to ingratiate
! herself with the worker population. The
| last serve their new mistress faithfully
and tend her offspring but as no more
worker eggs are laid, the prosperity of
| the kingdom steadily declines. Before
its final dissolution, however, the alien
queen will have become the parent O, a
numerous progeny which will sally forth
at the appointed season to accomplish
, the downfall of other nests. The usurp-
er ant is called Anergates atratulus,
while the species which it victmizes is
Tetramonium caespitum.
The courtship warfare of male insects
is especially interesting. Among the
stag beetles" of the family Lucnidoe,
several males often fight desperately for
possession of a female, buffeting one an
other with their enormously developed
mandibles and evincing no little skill IN
their method OF attack and of defense.
In the height of the breeding season.
these insects are so much occupied with
their rivalry that they seem to lose all
sense of fear. Thus. a cautious observer

The End of the World.

Predictions of the end of the world
have been q source of terror To many
peoples through MANY centuries. st.
Augustine. IN the fourth century, con-
ceded only few years of respite TO
the human species before the end oil
time. In the ninth century, in sew
eral countries of continental Europe,
the people began to make preparation
for the destruction of the world, then
prophesied To be near at hand. They
abandoned their fields and their work
shops, and threy themselves at the
foot of the altar; they gave their
goods to the churches and monas-
teries. The end was to come with
the beginning of the thousandth year
of the Christian era, The fatal day
came. But the sun continued to
shine in the vault of the heaven, the
stars remained in their places and the
people returned to their customary
pursuits But the prophets were not
discoura ged, and Arnault de Vile
neuve, a Erenchman, fXed the date
for the finish in l395-and again a
mistake has been made in the direful
horoscope Next came Johann
SlOiieit a tIel man tlSti biSs7N4' W nv az :
nounced that the world would be
overwhelmed by delgue in 1921, and
a worthy theologian Of Toulouse con-
istructed an ark.
In 1899 the end of the world was
announced in France and the widest
terror prevailed Henry ". who
had not been any too good a Protes-
tant, and was no better as a Catho-
lie, laughed at his prediction. Then
he became serious and issued an edict
forbidding his subjects to talk about
anti Christ and the last Judgment.
The latest prophet Of any note was
an Italian, monk of Padua, who
died at the age Of ninety, day o.
two after the eXaltation of Pope Leo
XIII. He left prophecy giving Il
list of the popes, ten in number, who
should reign before the end OF the
world should come. And these are
the names: First, the present pope,
Plus X; then will come Paul VI, Plus
NJ. Gregory XVI, and so on, conelud-
ing with Peter H. who shall be the
last pope who will occupy the papal
chair when the end comes. AS popes
reign an average of twelve years
each, the grim prophet only allows a
century more of the world and then
all will be over. This prophecy,
however, has never been accepted
with anything like the seriousness
with which it was given.

THE average farmer is possessed of
the means to make the work of his
Wife easier and she may have more
time to herself. BY utilizing wind
mill power in driving the cream sep
arator and the churn, one feature Of
work that now falls on the women
will be materially lishtened. Then, too,
the same windmill can be made to
supply power for the washing ma
chine. and ii can do a hundred and
one things, if properly handled. OF
course. the power must be trans
formed into electricity. but plants of
the size necessary can be readily pur-
chased by most farmers. If the cleo
tricity plan appears too expensive,
small gasolene engines can be made to
take its place but one or the other
can quite certainly be maintained.
1T is to be the object of the new
extension work among the farm wo-
men to bring about changed view of
her burdens, and to demand for her
the same conveniences that are en-

that is attained, the farm girl will not
be SO anxious to go to the city, but
will be quite content to marry coun-
try boy. II will be a big step In
