The Lost Message An Afritander Folk Tale The Ant, from time immemorial, has had many enemies, and, because he is ‘small and destructive, slaughter has been rife in bis fam- ily circle,’ Not only were most of the birds antagonistic, but Anteater lived almost entirely at their expense, and Centipede beset them at all times and places. At length, a mong them thought it would be well to hold council together and endeavor to come to some arrangement whereby they could retreat to some place of safety when at- tacked. But at the gathering opinions differed so much that they could come to no decision. The Red-ant, Rice-ant, Black-ant, Wagtail- ant, Gray-ant, | Sbining-ant, and many other prominent familics were represented, but the discussion proved a Babel of diversity, which continued for a long time and came to nothing. Some suggested that they should all go into a small hole in the ground, and live there; another faction wanted to build a large and strong dwell- ing that none but ants could enter; a third party wanted to dwell in trees, so as to avoid Ant- cater, forgetting entirely that there they would be the prey of birds; while certain of them wanted to have wings and fly. The deliberation, as has already been said, amounted to nothing; so cach party resolved to go to work in its own way and on its own re- sponsibility. Greater unity than that which existed in each separate faction it would be difficult to imagin Porch Shades Vudo ‘Those inside can see out through them bat catsi gunngtee in,” They give seclusion and pereacy pee fing the free use of the porch as an outdoor root.
