Show How to Kill Ants. A nice way to kill ants is to intice them onto a cement walk and hit each of them in the head with the knob end of a hatpin stolen from your wife's "merry widdow" hat. Other methods have entirely failed. You may feed them pans green, kerosene, hot soapsuds and lye, all to no purpose. They flourish on paris green and joy in the color of their emerald shoes after trading thru it, they drink kerosene with plens ure and slide down hiil in the soapsuds until your heart aches to be a boy again and imitate them on the back banister or the hay stack. Darn the durned ants anyhow. They will nestle in the leaves of your apple trees, build sand hills 'in your lawn, climb your bean vines, ruin the radish bed and blunder through the holes of dad's old sox. Take time and kill every one of them individually with the Smerry widow" hatpin. |
