The Spider and the Fly.
Life.


A cunning spider, by horrid words and
improper influence, persuaded an innocent
and unsophisticated fly to enter the parlor
and take seat on the sofa.
Now, make yourself at home" said the
pider, while go out and make the cook
urry up dinner"
go ahead" answered the fly, ''and I'll
nibble ON this grasshopper ham till you re-
turn"
The spider at once repaired to the
kitchen and ordered the cook to prepare to
broil a fat spring fly; but while he was
gone the fly loaded himself with provisions
and furniture and escaped to his chateau in
the oaken glen. There he invited his
friends and made merry over his great for
tune.
M0ral-The fable teaches that one should
not leave the guest alone in the parlor for q
great length of time.

Horse Thief Captuzed.

Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Aug. 25.-About two
months ago man calne here and hired
pasturage for horses, saying he was ship
ping and buying. The pasture was not far
from the city. He paid in advance from
week to week. At his last payment he
overpaid, to which his attention was called,
when he told the keeper to put it in his
pocket. He also gave him some brides,
Hhalters and saddles. Such prodigality and
lliberality caused the keeper Of the pasture
to talk. a fine lot of horses had been
gathered together, one of which struck
the fancy of horseman in town
and he bought it, selling it
soon after at good advance. To make
sure of his title he requested bill of sale,
(which was given. The horseman learned
of the prodigality Of the seller with the
keeper and began to get suspicious. He
went to the city market and an inveStiga-
ton showed a description Oh file of every
horse the fellow had. A visit to the pas
ture was made to compare notes, when il
was found the horses had all been removed
to the stock yards for shipment Cars had
been secured and in an hour the horses
would have been on the way to Chicago.
The fellow WAS arrested on a charge OF
horse stealing, when he exclaimed:
Pm gone to HI now, sure" He gave
his name as John Shields, resident of st.
Louis, and told where every horse came
from. He said he
DID NOT STEAL THEM,
but he was acting as agent for big gang
who did the stealing. lie had about 81. 800
on his person. He was lodged in Jail and
the owners notified. For several days there
was a regular influx here of claimants foI
stolen horses from Missouri, Minnesota and
Northern Iowa. The horses were all iden-
titled. One of them, very fan
animal, was owned by Gage of Missouri,
who would give no description of his horse
He went TO the yards and called his horse
by name, when the animal quickly
answered and came trotting up to him and
rubbed his head Oh Cages shoulders with
much apparent gratitude. The recogni-
ton was beyond question. There was con-
siderable discussion as to who should have
the fellow. Albert Lea was very anxious
to get him, as they were prepared
immediately on his arrival. Mis-
souri, at several paints, wanted
him, but Usage, La, being first to arrive
here, claimed priority, and he was turn ed
over to the officer from there. The horse
he had sold was returned to the owner, and
Shields refunded the money for him. 1t
was slick piece of work all around. Ii
now tranSpires that Shields was here and
hired the same pasture, from which he
shipped lot of horses East, all of which
were probably stolen. tits probable Shields
