L'ni-iiunt to the call issued by the director of tho Farmers Independent Comptiny. The meeting was called fo order by President Uclglo. The representative of tho Hell company, Mr. Tracy, was called upon to present tho proposition of his Company, Mr Tracy said that the Idea of making a proposition for tho consolidation of the two tolo phono systems within the city has been suggested by some of tho bus iness men of lied Cloud, to the end that tho expense of the two telephones might bo avoided and a belter and moio genet al tolephono -erlce be seemed for the patious of the two systiius.

Of the Two, Pangs of Toothache Are Lcto Easy to Bear. "You of tho younger generation,'1 said tho dentist, sovcroly, "don't appre ciate tho Impottanco of tho conquest of toothncho that dentistry ha3 made. "Toothacho Is tho worst torturo that over mulcted mankind. Its pallia 'lancinating' they arc technically called aro worse than tho pains of enncor. Worse than cancer; that Is tho truth; I lmvo heard It from physicians, I havo heard It from three old pooplo whom enncer finally killed. They all said that tho pain of cancer at Its worst was mild hesldo tho pain of the worst toothache. "Toothache drove DoQulncoy to opium-eating. DcQiihtccy, too, says in his 'Opium Eater' llko all dentists, I have the passage by heart: "'No stronger expression of tooth ncho's Intensity and scorching fierce noss can bo imagined than this fact that, within my prlvato knowledgo, two persons, who had suffered alike under toothache and cancer, havo pro nounced tho former to he, on tho scalo of torttue, by many degrees tlio worse. In both, there aro at times lancinating pangs keen, glancing, arrowy radia tions of anguish; and upon thoso tho basis of compailson is rested paroxysm ngnlnat paroxysm with tho result that I havo stated.'" ANTG AS WEATHER PROPHET3. Their Method of Glvlnn Warnlno of an Approaching Storm. Ants as weather prophets afford now testimony to the cleverness of these small Insects. When you go out on a spring morn ing and find the ants busily engaged in clearing out their nests and drag ging the sand and hits of earth to tho surface you may bo sure that no i matter how cloudy it U thcro will i bo no rain that day and tho probabili ties nto for several days of good J weather. If, however, jou sec tho ants about the middle of a rjirlng or summer af- ten:oon Inn rj Ins hack to the neat, and n sentinel tiottln out In evtry dl- I rcction looking up trasKlera and tirg- , lug them to go hot n as soon as they can get there, ou may figure on a lain that afternoon or night. When tho last of the wandctcrs la found tho picket hurtles in and tho nest Ib securely sealed from tho Insldo to keep out tho water. It Is seldom that ants aro taken by surprlso by tho approach of a shower. Show Men Like Apes. Prehistoric paintings recently un earthed show man to have 'been like an ape. The only known examples of paintings of men by prehistoric cave decorators have been discovered lately by Prof. Reno Leaunel In tliewPortel grotto, a cavo of Louhens, In Arlege, Franco, whore Noulet already had found quaternary temalus and liumnn hones. About 40 sketches In black or red, only one In both colors, udom the cavo as frescoes, and two repre sent men of a primltivo typo, while tho others show bisons, hoars and hoises. Of tho human flguros ouo has a long head, with retreating forehead, while tho other shows a remarkable apoliko pose, with rounded hack and arms pendent in ftont. Thcro 13 a cruochlng hoar, but tho horses aro mostly galloping and poorly drawn, al though the forequaiters of a horso nro quite skillfully figured In btyck on one of tho darkest walls of tho cavern One by Barnacled Ben. "Yes, mates," i elated Hatnaclcd Hen, rotlrcd seaman, "I certainly did see somo wonderful things when I was cruising around the seen seas. Why, onco wo had a sawfish to follow tho Nancy Jones for 1,000 miles. Wo used to tlnow off tho leavings from tho calley and when we'd hit a big calm why, the taw fish would saw up our firewood In stovo lengths. All wo had to was to toss tho long sticks over and ho'd saw them up In a Jiffy. Then we'd tako a long rako and rako them aboaid. Naturo faking? Novcr heard of it, mate, never heaid of It." And Harnacled Hen lit his pipo and Bhamblod away. His Deep Concern. Tho kind old lady noticed a small lad entering a cobbler's with a small package. "What havo you there, sonny?" she asked, kindly. "Ma's slipper," replied tho lad; "you see, there Is a tack out of placo In it and I want to have It fixed before ma notices It." "Ah, kat a consldorato llttlo boy! I supposo you nro afraid tho tack might hurt your mother's foot?" "Well, It ibn't oxactly that. You see, tho tack Is sticking out on tho solo and this In tho slipper ma spanks mo with." Arabs Outlive Eskimo. While It may bo true that tho whlto man loses In intellectual and bodily power In the tropics, Dr. Lulgl Sambon maintains, aa a result of recent re searches, that the avcrago Arab lives 25 years longer than tho avorago Es kimo; that tho coast peoplo of South Amorlca aro longer lived than tho mountain peoplo; that old ago Is much commoner In tho southern countries of Europo than in tho northern countrlos, and that Spuln (with a population nmaller by 0,000,000) has 401 conto narlans to Hngland's 14G.
