DIFFERENT IN THEIR MAKEUP
Boys Together, John Burroughs and
Jay Gould Were as Wide Apart
as the Poles.

One poignant recollection John Bur-
roughs had of Jay Gould as boy and
man, he spoke of in this way: Il was
large and strong, while Jay was small
and slippery. A boy taught us to
wrestle, but Jay would break his hold
and land on top. l would say: Jay,
that isn't fair but he would only
laugh. Not wanting to be thrown, he
resorted to tricks, and because / was
indulgent, would wrestle with no one
else. He went away to an academy
and, when he returned, his father had
sold his land and bought village tim
shop. Jay got in with man and made
maps. By and by he left that part
of the country and, our lives being
no longer parallel, / never spoke to
him after that, although | saw him

The superintendent of schools in

Snake No Match for Ants.

That ants should be able to Kill a
snake may seem incredible, at first.
When an enemy is sighted the alarm
is given at once and the whole COM
munity-of ants arises in body. They
set upon the reptile, striking their
nippers into it at thousands OF points.
The attack is made with such enor-
nous numbers that the snake has no
chance of escaping. When the snake
is dead the ants will tear off the flesh
in small pieces. taking all away With
them except the homes and skin.
