Most animals have very good IDEAS
about doctoring themselves when they
are not well. For instance, an animal
suffering from rheumatism keeps in
the sun. The warrior ants have am
balances, and when an investigator
cuts the antennae of an ant, other
ants cover the wound with a transpar-
ent fluid secreted in their mouths.

OF the roadbed on the stream SIDE ana
hurtles a rocking, ponderous mass of
mechanism down the sloping side of
the river bank, swifter than it takes to
tell.
Tragedy and comedy are close akin;
in the midst of life we are in death.
On the green banks of the river on
this peaceful summer day the Colored
Sons of Liberty had elected to hold
their annual picnic. Fat, dusky ma
irons were spreading tempting cakes
and pies and pouring the even more
tempting lemonade beneath the eager
eyes of the longing colored lodge broth
els of the Sons of Liberty.
The Sons Of Liberty band could hard

roaring and plunging as though, as
Deacon Jones afterwards said, cit was

racing auto down through the picnic
and the band and across the very festal
spread, and scattering old darkies and
young right and left struck the water
with a mighty splash, turning COM
pletely over.
Neither dusky man nor dusky ma
tron, elder or pickaninny, wait for one
moment to see or learn what had gone
through their festal gathering like a
fiery chariot on judgment day Or what
had happened to man or mighty ma
chine after they had struck the river
With ashen faces the COlored Sons
Of Liberty and their wives, children,
sweethearts and sisters, clambered up
the bank to the roadway, shrieking
with terror. They did not see, no one
saw, the form of a man floating down
the river, face up.
That eve at early dusk the new risen
moon boheld a quiet face floating down
the stream. Half submerged, at times
the dank body rose slightly to the sur
face; then 1t was the moon saw, gleam-
