Duties Of Queen Ant.

When the queen ant lays her eggs
the workers gather about and pick up
each egg as it is laid and carry 1t
away to the underground nurseries,
where 1t is watched and cared for by
other workers. Sometimes the queen
will escape her attendants. Away she
hurries, evidently bent on playing a
bit but the moment her disappear
ance is noted the workers scurry out
in every direction to find her, and
once she is located she is dragged back
to the home by force and gets many
a sharp nip on the way as punishment
The queen is three or four times as
large as the worker ant, Her first
brood finds her busy cleaning up her
house, digging a new room for a nurs-
ery washing and cleaning her babies
with her tongue, and feeding them
from her store. After the first brood,
however. this work is done by the
working ants, and the queen has moth
ing to do but attend to the functions
of motherhood.

READING Mans Mind.

BY watching a mans actions one
can tell as plainly what is going on in
his mind as a person can read a page
of print, according to DR.. Henry
Gaines Hawn. who is conducting a
course of lectures at the chamber of
commerce on the Kansas side. "Tell
me the boyhood ambition Of man
and can tell you much Of his char
acter and desires" he said. "He may
never have realized that ambition
may have .pent his life in far differ
ent business and met with success
there but his boyhood ambition tells
the way his tastes run and he stu
likes the same things he admired then
Go into a courtroom and watch the
two lawyers opposing each other and
YOU can soon tell by the way they are
questioning which fears for the safety
of the case and which thinks himself
on solid ground. kansas City Star

FROM THE TRIB UkE FILES
Sixty Years Ago, 1861.

Hostilties have commenced. The
batteries at Sullivan and Morris Island
opened fire on Fort Sumpter on the
morning of April 18th. Fort Sumpter
returned the fire, which was continued
all cay without intermssion, Reports
from Warren are that Sumpter has
surrendered and that Major Anderson
and his men are prisoners in Charleston.
The kilograms are so conflicting that
it is impossible to know what to be
lieve. One account says FIT. Sumpter
is leveled to the ground and no other
forts injured. Another says MouItrle
is destroyed and Sumpter on fire. We
can give nothing reliable, though we
believe the report of the capture of
Sumpter to be correct.

SPRING CLEAN UP.

Clean up or burn up, remove filth OF
breed disease. which shall it be?
DO you bet your home or store against
a few dollars worth of waste paper OF
trash p? There is always the possibility
of danger in incombustible rubbish. 1t
helps to spread fire, increases the fire
loss, and makes fire fighting more
difficult and more dangerous.
Gather up and remove all waste
paper, oily wastes and rags, discarded
clothing, broken, usless furniture.
leaves, boxes and other trash. They
are in your basement, in the attic. in
closets, in the back yard, in and around
your out-buildings, in fence corners,
and sidewalk gratings, in wood boxes
and other hooks, corners and hiding
places.
Be careful with rubbish fires and
watch small children so that their
dresses may not not catch fire. Make
sure rubbish fires do not endanger
buildings. Leave no burning embers
at night; wind may come up. and
carry them to your buildings.
A clean home, store, shop and town
should be your ambition and pride,
they are marks of good citizenship.
The defective, moss.covered single
roof, openings in walls, cracked Chin
neys, loose brick, rusted smokepipes,
defective electric wiring, should have
your attention.
Cleanliness is inexpensive, and
little effort on part of every citizen
will work wonders
Women's clubs, commercial clubs
and other civic bodies should lend
their active aid in this cleanup. and
ever ready help of school children and
boy scouts should be utilized. There
must be no civic slackers.
Acting under the authority of Section
927-p, the city provides for the re-
moval of ashes and rubbish Thursday
May 5. Clean up and place ashes and
rubbish in piles along the street or
alley.
When Clean Up Week" is past,
let every day be clean p-day. and keep
your home. shop, and city clean, safe
and sanitary.
Doubtless public officials are some
times negligent, but so are the citizens.
The officials have to take the blame
however, because citizens won't
shoulder their own responsibility. Self
acting citizenship makes good govern
ment. 1t is the duty of every good citi-
zen to put a shoulder behind the vehicle
of civic affairs and help to boost it up
the hill of progress. This city cannot
afford to neglect or cease to carry out
wise program of public improve
ments, such as will increase its desiri-
bilty as a place of residence and to
enable it to maintain its standing
among progressive Wisconsin cities.
Sell your hammer and buy a horn.
