A Queer Battle.
A traveler in South Africa tells of a
singular combat that he witnessed. He
was musing one morning with his
eyes on the ground when he noticed
a caterpillar crawling along at a rapid
pace, followed by hundreds of small
ants. Being quicker in their move
ments, the ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausing, the
caterpillar would turn his head and
bite the ant and kill his tormentor.
After slaughtering a dozen or more of
his persecutors the caterpillar showed
signs of fatigue. The ants made a
combined attack. Betaking himself to
a stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up tall first, followed by the ants. As
one approached he seized it in his
Jaws and threw it off the stalk. The
ants, seeing the caterpillar had toothe
strong a position for them to over
come, resorted to strategy. They be
gan sawing through the grass stalk.
In a few moments the Btalk fell, and
hundreds of ants pounced upon the
caterpillar. It was killed at once.
He Got the Ticket.
"Seamen's return" tickets are Issued
by most British railways at seaport
towns to sailors at reduced rates. A
rather well groomed young man de
manded one to Birmingham the book
ing clerk at Hull demurred.
'Seamen's returns' are only Issued
to sailors," be snapped.
"Well, I'm a sailor," was the reply.
"I have only your word for that,"
said the clerk. "How am I to know it
is correct?"
"How are you to know?" came the
answer. "Why, you leather necked,
swivel eyed son of a sea cook, if you
feel my starboard boom running foul
of your headlights you'll know I've

The beasts of Uganda were beating
retreat, and the slower were. trying
to stay with the fleet, when a lion
came flying aside from the rear with
his face mutilated and one shredded
ear.
"We thought," said the beasts 51
As they saw him arrive,
"You stayed back to face him
And eat him alive!"
But the man-eater only
Ran' faster and whined, ^A
And now and then ventured
A survey behind. a
"Well," said the hippo, who "ran as
he could, "did you eat him alive, as
boasted you would?" But the lion
limped onward with never a word—
at least anything that the rest of them
heard. '.:£•.,
"I'll bet," said the rhino,
"He bit off his head
And left them to find him
All over his hide.
The first day of April will be All
Fools' Day, and it will be celebrated
much more eleborately this year than
it has been in a long time. There
are more fools than there used to be.
They may be divided into .three class
es, viz:
Common, or those who think the
cost of living will ever go down again
Preferred, or those who thought
prosperity would return right after the
presidential election.
Dam, or those who thought Mr.
Rockefeller would have to pay that
$29,500,000 fine.
The rain will patter on the roof,
and the colt will buck and dance, the
tickled calf will shake his hoof and
jubilantly prance, the robin will arise
at morn and chase the festive worm,,
the schoolboy will wish chicken pox
would spread and end the term, the
old fleas will breed other fleas upon
the itching pup, and the dirt will fly
with radishes and lettuce coming up.
A fresh and sweeter oxygen will
glorify the days, the sun will tempt
flowers with its soft and vernal
rays, the farmer will put in his corn,
the duck will lay again, the meadow
lark will wake the morn with ravish
ing refrain, the natfve will moult all
his wool and don his summer jeans,
and man will pasteurize his blood
with sassafras and greens.

Whereat they all laughed,
And the great lion cried
And licked at the gashes
"I see how it happened," the ele
phant said "our brother was up in
a tree overhead, and when he pounc
ed on him, a stranger to fear the
cruel thorns tore him and shredded
his ear."
They all laughed again,
And the lion all red
With blood, only shuddered 1
And limped on ahead.
"O, come,'' they exclained
As they followed with haste,
"We know that you ate him,^
But how did he taste?"
The lion turned round at the top
of a rise, and his whiskers v-were
matted with tears from his eyes.
"Don't taunt me," he begged, "and
I'll tell you my woes." And blood
trickled off at the end of his nose.
"We'll do it!" they answered,
And husky with grief
And fear, he proceeded:
"My story is brief.
I did lay for Teddy,
Intending my worst,
And I jumped as I promised—^'
But he bit me first."

TUBERCULOSIS THREATEN8 TO

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF THE
INDIAN BUREAU IS TO
COPE WITH THE
DISEASE
Washington, D. C-. March 24.—As
the buffalo vanished from the great
western prairies, so is the red manly
gradually disappearing through the
ravages of that slow but insidious
disease of tuberculosis.
To save the Indian from extinction
by this disease and yet lead it into
ways of the white man, is the
task which officials of the bureau of
Indian affairs have undertaken.
Alarmed at the excessive mortality
among the Indians from tuberculosis
ways and means of effectually com
bating the disease among them have
been devised. There will be a con
certed effort on the part of all con
nected with the Indian service of the
removal of the causes of the diseases
for education in the measure of pre
vention and for systematizing the care
and segregation of patients afflicted
with the diesaso.
Backed with adequate funds and
with a corps of fighting medical ex
dian officials of the bureau on In
dian affairs are confident that the
Indian race can be saved. The Indian

becomes restive at the slow progress
of medical science in eradicating dis
ease, but if convinced of ultimately
being cured, he usually yields to the
treatment. •j-
Almost beyond belief are the wide
spread ravages from tuberculosis
among the Indians. Just about a
quarter of a century ago when the
white man undertook to Civilize the
Indian, tuberculosis was an almost un
known disease among the race. To
day the Indians are dying offa the
rate of approximately a thousand per
annum. Of all the tribes none seem
to be so susceptible to the onslaughts
of tuberculosis as the Sioux Indians
in South Dakota. Onlf last year near
one thousand members, of this tribe
were afflicted with the disease.
The change from a primeval sur
rounding, when the Indian roamed at
will through the wilds of the forests
to his present, mode of living more
than to any other cause, may be as
cribed the reason why he so easily Is
a victim. They live in unsanitary
surroundings and huddle themselves
together in one room and without
ventilation. The Indian taboos
cuspidor and rather prefers to ex
pectorate on the floor.
Officials are determined to teach
the Indian the value of- sanitation,
personal cleanliness, and other pre-,
ventive measures with the view of
gradually cutting down the yearly
death total.
