Ants With Pink Parasols

Among the recent acquisitions at

newspaper dispatch, IL nest Of UNI
brella ants that have never been seen
before in the gardens. They have had
busy time, because during the Jour
ney the queens apartments became
greatly dlsarranged, but the COM
munIty soon put them to right again.
In their native home In Trinidad
the ants are always to be found in the
neighbOrhood Of rose trees, They cut
off parts of the petals OF the roses
and carry them TO their nests, hold
Ing them over their heads like para
soils. On reaching home they mastl-
cate the petals thoroughly and pile
up the resulting mixture In heaps In
side the nest. On the beds thus pre-
pared grows special fungus Of which
the ants are very fond.-YOuth's

Easy to DISCOVER the
Moral in This Story

It was indeed lucky day when
Harry Raymond of Los Angeles en-
barked for San Francisco. The steam
er was crowded with passengers and
there were MOI enough staterooms to
go round. Harry noticed an old gen
tleman who had no place to sleep, and
taking pity on his age, offered to share
his stateroom with him.
The old man gladly accepted and
the two occupied the room together.
Samuel Harrison, Raymond's guest,
proved to be brother of RaymOnds
mother. Then Raymond learned that
another uncle, Henry Harrison, had
died, leaving fortune Of about $780,
900 to Raymond's mother. But Ray
mond's mother was dead and Ray
mond was entitled to the Inheritance.
So is kindness rewarded-not only
In romances but also very often in
everyday llfe.-Pathtinder Magazine.
