Ants and colors.

1t was proved long ago that ants
have the power of seeing the-to
us-invisible rays of the ultra violet
portion of the spectrum. They fear
the light for their larvae and when
allowed choice between different de-
grees of light always carry them
to the darkest place accessible.
When given the choice between a
compartment lighted with yellow
light and one dark to our eyes, but
under the actinic ray, the ants un-
hesitatingly chose the yellow light,
showing. that to their eyes it was
darker than the other, to man in
visible.-Argonaut.

fathers to Win Independence.
Patriotic service in the American
Revolution was rendered by Handy
Betty Hager, known also as Betty the
Blacksmith, who refitted guns and ar
tillery for the patriotic armies. Betty
was natural mechanic, whose latent
abilities were developed in the employ
Of Samuel Leverett, blacksmith
farmer living near Boston.
Prior to the battle Of Concord the
patriots Of the surrounding country
had been preparing themselves for the
conflict for months. Guns Of all types
-matchlocks. flintlocks, smoothbores,
blunderbusses and what not, some Of
which had not seen service for three
or four generations-came piling into
the Leverett shop, and, while Leverett
himself could be observed by any pass
ing Tory to be busily engaged in shoe
ing horses, his unsuspected assistant
was working in secret chamber max
ing the neighbors' antiquated old fire.
arms serviceable once more. Z
Betty kept up this volunteer work
throughout the whole course Of the
war, never accepting single copper
for her labor. To Betty and her en-
ployer likewise belongs the credit Of
putting the first captured British can
non into action after they had been
:>:i!ed by their former owners.

While the Berkshire hog is classed
as belonging to the lard type it is
claimed for him that IL fed prop

duce bacon of the finest quality.
In fact. some sections Of the United
States prefer Berkshire pork to
that of any other breed Advo-
Gates Of the Berkshire have never
advertised him as q. bacon hog be-

Of many people the term bacon

Poetry Of Words.

When l feel inclined to read poetry
I take down my dictionary. The poetry
OF, words is quite as beautiful as that
of sentences. The author may arrange
the gems effectively. but their shape
and Mster have been given by the at
triton of ages. Bring me the finest
simile from the whole range Of imagi-
native writing and will show you a
single work which conveys a more pro-
found. a more accurate and more
eloquent analogy.-Holmes.

One Of the most thoroughly uniqu,
and original social affairs given II
Pendleton for long time was tn,
annual luncheon yesterday Afternoon
of the Thursday Afternoon Club al
the Hotel Pendleton. Its appoint.
ments differed so remarkably from
the conventional and ordinary thai
the members found such great de.
light In them that they almost neg.
lected to eat the very palatable dish
es set before them.
During the year the club has been
studying current events and the
world today, and the luncheon, in
more ways than one. was suggest
i've OF the achievement OF modern
man. The idea was conceived and
developed by the committee. consist
! ing OF Mrs. Westbrooke Dickson, Mrs.
Wilson d. McNary and Mrs Charles
F. Colesworthy. and these ladies
were showered with compliments for
their manifest cleverness and inge-
nuity.
Instead of a big bowl of flowers,
they had for a centerpiece a huge
globe of the earth and. upon it. they
had. with ready invention, designat-
ed some of the notable present-day
happenings in different sections Of
the terrestrial sphere.
The tabletop, too. was converted
into something OF a typographical
map of the twentieth century world.
For instance at one end there rose
from the snowy linen the white-cap-
ped peaks of Alaskan mountains be
tween which were to be traced the
iron ribbons of the new government
railroad. The Pendleton Of 1915, as
one of the principal spots OF interest,
was not overlooked but rose very
prominently showing its Roundup
Park, its new natatorium, its new
federal building and other marks Of
advancement.
The individual favors were worked
out with the same cleverness and
skill and each suggested some mod
ern development OF art. science. in
vention, literature or history. There
was the far-famed twilight sleep OF
Germany, there were the freakish
creations of the cubists. the air-con-
quering flying machines and any
number Of other things wrought out
by artistic hands and with infinite
patience. Accompanying each favor
was some appropriate verse or bit OF
doggerel, also the product of the
committeeman, and the whole was
something that the members will not
forget.
All but five OF the regular mem
bers Of the club were present for the
luncheon. Mrs. S. A. Lowell. Mrs. +.
E. Boyden, Mrs. w. C. Mckinney,
Mrs. A. L. Schaefer and Mrs. Ben l..
Burroughs not being able to attend.
Mrs. ]. r. Dickson. an honorable
member and Mrs. A. Phimister Proc
tor, a guest member, and the follow
ing regular members were around the
table: Mrs. George A. Hartman. Jr.,
