an of that war Ipnt was proud to
claim that he is 4a son of a vet
eran that returned to his Vir
ginia .home with surrendering
when the, war had ceased.
He was glad to look , in to. the
eyes of veterans not only of that
war but of those true veterans pf
life's vicissitudes. These ,reun
ions are the rekindlings of the
memories of camp-fire scenes
and a keeping alive the friend
ships of those days. ; Why not
have the reunions, it is like the
sweet ointment on Aaron's heM
than ran down on his beard and
garments. It ,11116, the, demand

Black Ants hi Demand.
A plague of small ants is wor- -ryiug
the good housekeepers in
the lower part of town. The
little pests get in the sugar -bowls,
play havoc with cakes. "
and pies, and drown themselves
in the jelly and fruit preserves.
It is well known that the larger
black ants devour the little ones;
and one bright lady introduced
several of the big black ants into
her home in order that they
might eat the little ones up. The-.,
blaqk ants id. their .work nobly,
and nbw tne house is free of the
small -pests. Since the bright
woman made her successful ex
periment her neighbors freguent
ly run over and ask: Mrs. , ,
will you please lend me your big
blact ants for a day or so ? I
want to borrow them to eat my
little ones. Breckenridge, Ky.
