The Most Beautiful Thing for n Girl.

CIV. A. White, in Emporia Gazette.)
That's some dress you've got on,
little girl-it u re is. That delicate,
clinging, crinkly stuff is the prettiest
cloth on the store counters. That
silk Persian sash of many colors,
so gracefully swathed about the CEN
ter section Of your anatomy, would
knock the spots out Of Joseph's
coat. You are corseted and tailored
according to the most extreme mode
in the advance fashion books. But
your neck is too low and your
sleeves are TOO short, and your skirt
is far away tighter than skirts ought
to be. And the graceful slit expos
ing your dainty left ankle, shows a
stocking above your pump that is al
most transparent enough to read
through, and you haven't any more
petticoat than a rabbit-you know
you haven't. Oh, you're some swell,
you are. Have you noticed how the
loafers around the street rubber at
you as you trip demurely by on your
way to the uplift lectures? And have
you been thinking, little foolish one.
that they were r%ubbering out OF ad-
miration? Ask your brother about
it. If he's got any sense he'll tell
you some things that will be hard on
your vanity and good for your soul.
And if you'll take his word for it,
you'll lay that dress away and don
something that's wide enough around
the bottom to allow room for two
~petticoats and one pair of legs.
For there never was a dress de-
signed. little girl, that is half so
beautiful as a young girls modesty.

ANTS CONQUERED A CITY.
Living Things In II Jamaica Town
Driven Out or Eaten.
j. Chnmbarc ~ DropGIyn

u. Chambers, IN Brooklyn Eagle.)
The photographers throughout the
country are having III, with the lit
tie red ants that Mrs. Morse brought
over in a box from the other side,
II the careless customs officers al
lowed to escape. l. Is obvious that
the jokesmiths knew very little about
red ants. That box of ants may be-
come a menace to the city of New
York. The ruins Of a splendid city on
the north coast of Jamaica remain as
evidence Of the devastation hat red
ants are capable of causing. An army
of the insects invaded the city one
day II drove away every living crea-
escape. Prisoners in the jails. and
bedridden patients in the hospitals
were devoured. Not even a rat or
c%hinchbug remained alive.
In Liberia and other parts Of West
Africa anthills as large as native
huts are found. The large black ant
is the builder of that sor of home.
Such anthills are lot unknown in this
country, although they are rarely so
large; but the@black ant rarely in
vades houses. He is a ~scavenger, and
is protected by most farmers. At the
northern end of Greenwood Lake |
remember to have seen two such ant
communities, with hills six feet high.
When | asked the manager Of a near
by hotel why he didn't destroy the
insects. he replied that they were of
value in destroying reaches and in
rattlers, which are foes of the black
ant, and feed upon them.

j.. G. DuckwOrth Again in the Lime
Hght-Other Matters.
(Rambler, in Pickens Sentinel.

(Rambler, in Pickens Sentinel.)
Doubtless you remember the arti-
Gle in a recent issue Of the Sentinel
relative to the extraordinary good
farming done by J. C. Duckworth and
"a 9O0-pound mule on AZ acres of
Oconee dirt, the details of which
most Of your readers doubtless re-
member.
Well, | was over there on May 20.
And coming up the fine automobile
highway from Westminster to Wal
halla, in that good section near
Coneross church, | espied a neat cot
tage on a little knoll over to the
right of the road, nesting amongst
a few pretty little oaks and sur
rounded by crops hat looked good,
after seeing so much in other places
that presented a desert-like appear
ance. AS l looked about me | was
impressed that ] was viewing the
place which Duckworth and his mule
had made famous. So driving over
to the little home | was convinced
of the correctness OF my surmise, for
l IA greeted with a welcome that
only a Pickensite knows how to give
to a stranger within her gates" And
the evening being far spent, | yielded
to the cordial invitation to stay over
night, the earlier part Of which, af-
ter the repast, vas pleasantly spent
in social chat and listening to some
fine music rendered by the two Misses
Butler and Mr.. Duckworth's little
15-year-Old daughter. | wish to say
that the trio and their music was
worth a trip many times longer than
was made by your scribe to see and
hear.
AS to Mr.. Duckworth's farming: 1t
was as good as the best; oats being
hauled in that will thresh so bushels
e acre; cotton ready to square and
corn over knee high, that will make,
with seasons, 60 tt rs bushels per
acre, and other side crops all look
ing well, and this in the face of a
drought that was making other sec
lions look like a desert.
| want to say that every Pickens
man seemed to be prospecting on Geo.
nee dirt, and among them, II not
to be overlooked, is our good friend,
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Murphree, who, in addi-
ton to being a good farmer, is de-
veloping into a real estate specula-
tor, having sold only recently for $50
per acre that which had cost but sos
some two years past, and reinvested
in what she considers better land
ear Richland at $35 per acre.
Viewing everything from all stand
points, | am satisfied that our sister
county is proud Of the citizenship she
has induced Pickens to relinquish,
and we Of Pickeus are proud hat we
have been able to contribute so much
to the material uplift Of our less
favored sister. (?)
