HUNTING TARANTULAS

How the Ugly Spiders Arc Caught in
Arizona and Now Mexico.
1t used to be q standing joke on the West
ern frontier, when asked if you were going
to hunt Indians, to reply: why, moi l
haven't lost any Indians"
For the same reason, the wisest plan
would be not to hunt tarantulas; but 1t will
do no harm to tell how they are hunted and
caught in Arizona. New Mexico and other
Southwestern localities, where they abound.
The tarantula inhabits an exquisitely con-
structed apartment, closed outwardly by u
circular, many webbed mesh, varying in di-
ameter from two to four inches.
To the accustomed eye, this web betrays
the SPIDERS den Enthusiastically. Directly
underneath 1t one comes upon q tiny circu-
lar door, generally little larger than a sill
yer dollar.
This door is wonderfully made of silken
weavings, finished on the outer side with
bits of bark and leaves, and turning on a
hinge whose perfect workings an accom-
plshed mechanic might envy, opening into
q silken-lined passage about a foot in
length, the home of the spider.
Tarantula hunting is the sport Of the Wis
ttors at a health resort near Templeton,
whence gaily -attired parties sally forth,
armed with long sticks, sometimes trimmed
with knots of ribbon.
They carry large bottles of water. d
tarantuia hole reached, or a tarsntula town
for the creatures are generous-the web
aud door are torn away and water is poured
down the hole.
II the spider Is at home he viii rush ont
as fast as his clumsy legs can carry him.
With dexterity and nerve he may be
scooped into can and quickly covered, OF
may be allowed 10 fasten on the end Of the
walking-stick, whence he must be tumbled
into the trap before he tumbles for the
captor.
A California physician states that mus
cuiar tarantula can clear fourteen feet at q
tump-that he has seen it done. Fortu.
nately, such agility Is altogether exception-

Of the death OF Cleopatra"
''Good. And now"-and / paussd-ssand

'Yea, my lord" she answered, aud once
Egain i caught that note of bitterness In her

that his should be the hand to rid the land
Of this false and wanton woman, and at one

knowest that rejoice not, being but driven
to the act by deep necessity and the press

poisonedl Or can no one of the eunuchs be
suborned to slay herr My soul turns from

had my arm the strength; but it has it not.
BY poison 1t can not be done, for every
drop she drinks and every morsel that shall
touch her lips is strictly tasted by three
separate tasters, who can not be suborned.
Nor may the eunuchs OF the guard be trust

third can not be come at. He must be cut
down afterward; and, indeed, when so
many men must fall. what matters aeunuch
more or lesss Thus shall it be, then. To-
morrow night, when Bonou at three hours
before midnight is in the right ascension,
thou dost cast the final augury of the issue
of the war. And then thou wilt, as is
agreed, descend alone with me, having the
signet to the outer chamber of the Queens

orders to the Legions sails from Al
exandria at the following dawn; and
alone with her, for she wills that the
thing be kept secret as the sea, thou wilt

stab her in the back, SO that she dies; and

Ladies for School Board Members

EDITOR REFLECTOR-As the city
election is the all-absorbiDg topic,
pardon a few suggestions from one of
your readers.
In selecting members of the school
board why not invade the ranks Of the
lady voters? We have a number of
ladies who are well fitted for the posi-
ton, and have more time at their COM
mand than the average business man
has to devote to the interests of our
schools. Some of our sister cities have
adopted the plan and have proved the
high standard of their school manage
ment by the record of some of their
graduates, who have been admitted to
West Point and Annapolis directly
from their schools, and who rank
among the best scholars there. Be
sides their presence on the board would
give some assurance that the school in
terests were not being subseryed to the
schemes of wire-pulling politicians.

Three Herington Thieves Quickly
Put Behind the Bars.


Thursday bold robbery was dis
covered in Herington. The store of
John Simpson had been entered and a
considerable amount of clothing. etc.,
taken by the robbers.
The officers Immediately started out
to trace the thieves and soon found
three men who were trying to sell
clothing to the railroad men
about the Rock Island yards. They
were captured and brought bafore a
Justice. The trial resulted in their
being found guilty of petty larceny and
the prisoners were given the following
sentences: VIM. Ryan, 6 months in
Jail; James Turner, 6 months; Jas,
Mack. 80 days. They were kept
in the Herington caboose over
night and this noon were
brought to this city and turned over to
the tender mercies of Sheriff Naill
who will see that they do not take too
much exercise during the terms as
signed. The Herington officials de-
serve much credit for their prompt
dealings with the criminals.

Safe Breaking at Herington

The safe in the Missouri Pacific
depot at Harrington was blown open last
night and 5000 in cash taken there
from. The burglars must have been
professionals as they covered their
tracks so well that not a trace of them
can be found, not even suspicion can
be formed as to the perpetrators of the
deed. In addition to the money a large
number of valuable papersswere taken
but were thrown into the street outside
when they were found to be of no
value to anyone except the railroad
company. The authorities are search
ing carefully for clues.
