FIGHTING TARANTULAS.
The Remarkable Yarn Related by Truth

The Remarkable Yarn Related by q Truth.
full California Man.
sTalking about centipedes, tarantulas,
and all the poisonous bugs and reptiles
that infest the southern Deserts" said
Henry Carmello, Of Pomon, to San Fran
cisco Examiner reporter, II never did see
so many things of this sort as did late
one evening just east Of Pomona, in Los
Angeles County, last August. 1t beats
any thing I ever read about. Myself and
three or four others were coming from Sill
vertop creek, where we had been fishing.
We were passing over the sandy plain,
where small viney ards here and there
dotted the surface. Suddenly, as we
drove along, one of the boys
uttered an exclamation of sur
prise and let his gun go at something
Then he leaped out and crack went his
gun again, as though straight into the
ground. Again he shot, and to our excla-
nations of surprse-for we could not di.
vine what he was shooting at-said:
"'Why, there! Don't you see? Taran-
tulasH
"And sure enough, there they were,
thick and fast, upon the ground, crawl
ing hither and thither, as though an army
of them were loose, and devastating the
country. Now, this sounds to you
like a fish story, but it is true.
That section was just swarming
with these poisonous reptiles. Every
one of US began firing. We shot and
shot and must have killed scores of them.
Then, by deftly using some sticks we
had, we got about sixty Of them in a
bucket. Fight? You just ought to have
seen them. At first they wouldn't fight
We put two or three together and tried to
egg them on. No go. They seemed slow
about beginning to use the poison on
each other. Then we put in some more
and began stirring them up with stick
You ought to have seen them launch into
each other. The more we put in the
moro they fought, until when we
had put in the three-s score have told you
about, and had the bucket half full w .
had just writhing mass of poison. Sting
and fight! My land. how they did do it
though. They kept it up for quite long
time, until we got tired of watching
them. The little ones died the soonest
and sank to the bottom, amidst mass Of
blood, while the old and big ones stayed
on top.
"At length two old bull tarantulas held
the field. All else had sunk down. These
were two veritable NapoleOns. Fight!
You ought to have seen the blood fly,
now. Such awful and vindictive thrusts
and such merciless belligerants | shall
never see again if live a thousand years.
The battle TASTED about five minutes more
and then they went down almost to-
gether. Which was the stronger, more
enduring, or gamier it would be hard to
say. When they got through we just had
a bucketful of dead spiders That was
all"

"Malaria7'

at least ten inches taller than the reporter,
and proportionately broader, his fear OF that
dread malady was probably not excessive:
give had malaria, and I've been cured.
ayes, but Q man can have malaria more

.sNot if he is cured the way was. About
ten wears ago was living in Indiana, In

days a man was regarded as stranger

ssHow was / curedr'
aWell, it was a novel cure. | boarded
with Mrs. Dennis, who told me she could
cure me if 1 would take her medicine. FL
nally agreed. She brought towel and
bound it around my head so could not see;
then she broughta glass of water, and told
me to take my dose, and Immediately swal-
low the water.
The dose tasted like little ball of dust,
and as it was going down l felt sharp pain
in my throat, as if it had been scratched.
"The next morning Mrs. Dennis brought
little box and showed me her medicine. 1t
was big, hairy, black spider, alive, and the
mate to the one had swallowed the day be-
fore''
The medicine this gentleman took for ma
laria, may have been effective, but lew
would care to try the remedy. Nor Is there
any necessity for it,
Malaria is a poisoned condition OF the
blood produced by bad air and water, which
enter the blood-channels through the
stomach and lungs and other ways, and pro
| duce INJURIOUS effects on the liver and kid
| news. 1t is cured by putting the liver and
kidneys in perfect, healthy working order.
The drugs ordinarily used for such pur-
poses frequently do quite as much harm as
GOOD, and leave the system in an enfeebled
| condition.
| The certain and harmless remedy for ma
| laria is Warmers safe cure which puts the
| liver and kidneys in healthy action, wher
the poison is carried out Of the system, anC
| the serious effects it engenders, pass away
J. NJ Booth, Springfield, Mass, under date
of March 2Sth, 1887, writes: "One year age
l had the malaria-had had it more or less
for ten years. I stopped all other medi
| cines and took Warmers safe cure and il
cured me. This country is famous for ma

| People who live in malarious localities
will find in Warmers safe cure specific
against contracting this disease. The NAL
arial poison can find no entrance to the sys-
| TEN, if the liver and kidneys are kept in
healthy action.
The gentleman who swallowed the spider
concludes his narrative in the New York
Mail and Erpress by saying:
II was effectually cured, but wouldn't
take another dose Of that medicine to save
my life.''

Famous Women.

It is significant fact that most of the
women who have achieved fame in art, lit
erature, or AFFAIRS have enjoyed vigorous
health This shows that the mind is never
capable Of the severe and continued applica-
ton necessary to creative work, unless the
body is at it's best. The woman who aspires
to fill an exalted place among her associ-
ates must be free from nervous debility and
female weaknesses. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will Danish these, and it is
warranted to restore those functional har
monies which are indispensable to health.
AS a specific for all those chronic weak
nesses and ailments peculiar to women, it
unequaled.

NOW.

When our dead are taken
From our sight,
All their faults and follies
Vanish quite.
All the little discords,
All the fret,
All the moods and puzzleA
We forget.
Nothing but their sweetness
We recall
How they served as, pleased Us,
That Is ALL
Only tender memories
Come to mind,
Loves dear recognitionf
Sure and kind;
Fair as are the angels
Unto men
Shine those vanished faces
To US then.
When our dead have left us
What availsf
Can they hear our voicesi-
Thick the walls
Drawn 'twixt sense and spirit
Who can know
II our love may follow
Where they 60!
All our bitter yearning
Is in vain,
Though to pierce the darkness
We are fRin.
Love has but its minute,
Its brief day,
Nor for any grieving
Will delay.
Ere the cruel spoiler
Disallow,
If you love your loved ones
Love them now.

Judge Porter has decided that a
stockman occupying the public domain
as a cattle range acquires no right to
the same that will enable him to pre-
vent other stockmen from turning
loose cattle on the range. even though
the first occupant has developed the

Great Little Men.

Some Of the greatest men that ever lived
were Of small stature and of insignificant
appearance. The reader will readily recall
many instances. Very small are DR. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, but they are
far more effective than the huge, old
fashioned pills which are so difficult to swal-
low and 50 harsh in their action. The 'Pel-
lets'' are gentle and never cause constipa-
ton. For liver, stomach and bowel derange-
ments they have no equal

The Common Lot.
There is a place no love can reach,
There is time no voice can teach,
There is Il chain no power can break,

Sooner or later that time will arrive, that
place will wait for your coming, that chain
must bind you in helpless death, that sleep
must fall on your senses. But thousands
every year go untimely to their fate, and
thousands more lengthen out their days by
heedful, timely care. For the failing
strength, the weakening organs, the vast
ing blood, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is wonderful restorative and pro-
longer of strength and life. 1t purifes the
blood and invigorates the system, thereby
fortifying it against disease. Of druggists.
