The Detroit Free Press has been giving quite

A SPIDER spun his web across lonely door,
and said while he was spinning there, 'This is the
only place where can safely build my house, and
watch the buzzing flies But here I'm SAFE this
is the firm that does not advertise"
1t is not probable that any such knowing and
elderly little creatures as the above wise old spider
can be found camping around about the domicile
of the Sunday Post-Dispatch of St. Louis, Mo.
There is nowhere perhaps, in the great
INTERIOR such persistent and tireless
advertiser; but the last scheme evolved
and set on foot by that enterprisng jour-
nal is Enthusiastically possessed of an "angel side,"
such as rarely adorns the sordid business schemes
of men. The plan proposed by the Sunday Post
Dispatch in the present instance is to send the two
most popular teachers in the schools of st. Louis
upon European tour during the coming summer
vacation, the trip being given entirely free of
charge, the only condition attached is that the
voting be done upon the official ballot published
each Sunday in the Post-Dispatch 1t is the in
tenton that the two teachers selected shall spend
at least one month in Europe, and that in that time
they will see large proportion of the sights which
make European trip such a treat. They are to
see London with all its wonders, the Tower, Par
lament Houses, St. Paups, etc. Then they are
to journey to Oxford, to bennington, to Brighton,
to Shakespeare's home at Stratford-on Avon, to
Kemark castle and to dozens Of other places which
history and literature Of the English language have
made famous for all time. In France they are to
visit Paris, with all its wonders, its art Salons its
catacombs, its churches, its famous parks Yer
sallles, Fontainebleau, ETC. They make special
trip to Rouen, where the famous cathedral is To-
Gated. Then they visit Italy and Rome and other
places OF historic interest. Not only are the tray
cling expenses furnished but, in addition all hotel
bills and all expenses for carriages, etc.. to con-
duct them to the various spots Of interest in the
vicinity of the cities they visit The tired teacher
In her classroom can scarcely look forward to a
more cool and inviting prospect for hot summer
than journey across the Atlantic, and besides
this most pleasant prospect, it will be no small
honor to be considered the most popular teacher
in the great city of st. Louis.

THERE is every indication that the woman SUI

different farmers associations. In many places
the Alliance has declared in favor of the ballot
being placed in the hands of the women, while in
other places many of their leading men, as ndi-
viduals, favor the measure. This latter is the case
with the Arkansas State Wheel, Hon. John Russ,
State president, and others being staunch advo-

gave vent to loud meanings.
The court asked her to plead, guilty
or not guilty. To this She quickly re-

To query as to whether she under

saying
IL wasn't near Allen Park on thai

Judge Blanchard then entered {
plea of not guilty.
Mr.. Ruger asked that Minnie be pu1

again began to weep and exclaimed:

stated that the case against OBrier
