In a group of western men wl o
had eaten their dinners at an up
town hotel on Christmas the chat
turned on to queer things that one
or the other had eaten in his day.
They all sat back an'd dropped the
topic after J. B. Johnson, of Wis
consin, had told his "story. "1 he
sweetest and most toothsome deli
cacy I ever ate," said he, "was a
dish of frozen black ants. It ws in
a logging camp iif-northern Wis
consin. We had run out of edibles
during a severe and long-protracted
snow storm and were getting down
to boots and similar substances.
One of the men had been chopping
some old decayed logs for luel.
The wood appearedto be full of
frozen black ants. Somehow he
got a bunch in his mouth, and
pretty soon we were all eating
them. The burjehes as they broke
off loqked something like a big,
ripe blackberry,?and-were every bit
as sweet audi delicious. If you
could eat tliemj without knowing
what they wereS you would c.ill
them a delicacy bo.iond any tiling
you ever tasted."- -JV. Y.Graphic.
