HE WANTS TO BE.POOR.
Millionaire Armour Transferring Money
and Burdens to His Sons.
This is from the Chicago times:—P. D.
Armour, the millionaire packer; who was
labelled "One of Chicago's Trinity" by
Wm. T. Stead, in his "If Christ Came to
Chicago," strolled into a dining•car on the
St, 1Paul road the other day in his usual
breezy and wholesome way. The train
conductor came along and Mr. Armour.
handed over a commutation ticket to be
punched. Though he has a desk full of
annual passes he never travels on a pass,
even on roads of which he is a director.
The millionaire was bound for the home
of his son, P. D. Jr., at Oconomowoc,
where he spends what few hours ho can
spare from his business during the summer
months. After he had given the waiter
his order, Mr. Armour turned to chat with
a friend. He is a great talker, and keeps
at it all the time. "Yes," he said, "it I
live a few years longer, as I hope to do, I
shall die a comparatively poor man. To
my two eons I am turning over my fortune
as fast as they show ability to handle it.
I don't tell you this for the purpose of
talking about my money but to show yon
just where I stand. I want to see my
money oared for while I am alive to direct
the boys, I am doing uow what Field and
the others are waiting to do at their deaths.
There can be no squabble over my estate
in the Courts after I am gone, as the estate
Will be comparatively small. Tho two
boys are shouldering it rapidly, and they
are demonstrating their ability to Dara
well for it."
Historical Lies.
Vinegar will not split rocks; so Hanni-
bal could not thus have made his way
through the Alps. Nor will it dissolve
pearia; so that the story of Cleopatra
drinking pearls molted in vibegar must
have been a fiction.

"I've got a tough servant girl," said an
East Capital street man to his neighbor
the other morning, with a quiver in his
voice like an aulgeworm's wriggle when
it strikes a fresh clod of dirt.
"How's that?"
"Well, you see, Mary doesn't wake very
readily fn the morning, so I bought an
alarm on a certain Monday and slipped it
under her bed."
"Work?"
"Yes, partly, for about five minutes.
Tll.en she went to sleep again."
"That all?"
"Nope. Bought another Tuesday. Set
'am both under her bed and timed the
dingdongs five minutes apart."
"Work?"
"Yee, partly. She woke twice and went
to sleep twice."
"That all?"
"Nope. Bought another Wednesday.
Pat 'em all threounder the bed and timed
the dingdongs fide minutes apart."
"Work?"
"Yes, partly. She woke three times
and went to sleep three times."
"Keep it np long?"
"Yep. The room got full of crooks. But
that wasn't the worst of it. One day she
handed me a card with a strange name on
it. 'That's my brother,' she said. 'Times
is hard, and he'd like the job when you
get round to it. He's a churchbell hang-
er.' "—Washington News.
Ants at Play.
"I approached one day to the formicary
of Some wood ants, exposed to the sun and
sheltered from the north. The ants were
heaped upon one another in great num-
bers, appearing to enjoy the temperature
of the surface of the neat. None of them
was at work, and the immense multitude
of insects presented the appearance of a
liquid in a state of ebullition, upon which
the eye could scarcely be fixed without
great difficulty, but when I examined the
conduct of each ant I saw that they were
approaching each other, each moving his
antennas with astonishing rapidity, each
patting the cheek of one of his fellows.
After these preliminaries, which very
much resembled caressing, they were ob-
served to raise themselves upright on their
hind legs by pairs, struggle together, seize
each other by mandible, foot or antenna,
and then immediately relax their hold,
only to renew the attack again in a mo-
ment. They would fasten to each other's
shoulders, embrace and wrestle, overthrow
each other and then raise themselves by
turns, each taking revenge without pro-
ducing any serious mischief.
"They did not spurt out their venom as
Um do in their real combats nor retain

boliriQ nhnvt e oti4,1lr oe g*raw, turning al

which forcibly brought to my recollection
the sport and pastime of young dogs when
they are observed to rise on their hind
legs, attempting to bite, overthrow or seize
each other without once closing their
teeth." -.Pierre Huber.
He Was After a Coon.
"In going coon hunting it is desirable
that the hunters know a coon when they
`see-one--and-bow to.,•get-himdown-after.
they have treed him," said George W. Bea -
lock. "I went coon hunting down in Geor-
gia with two boys who knew nothing
about it, and it was my flrat experience.
The dogs treed a coon. We saw the ani-
mal enter a' hole in the tree, and we cut
the tree down. It did not leap from the
branches, as we expected, so one of the
boys crawled into the tree, which was a
good sized one, and began to poke the
coon with a pole. In about a minute we
heard a combination of human and ani-
mal yells, which indicated that our friend
had found the animal, and that it was not

d "Soon he emerged from the log and a
half grown wildcat was .clinging to him,
scratching for the vitals. With two well
-aimed pistol shots and a blow with an ax
we succeeded in killing the animal, but
the man who crawled into the log will
bear the scars of his encounter with the
young wildcat for the rest of Ms life. I
have been coon hunting since, but I am
always certain that it is a coon that is
treed before I cut down the tree."—St.
