Weaving circles wider, wider,
From the def beginning,
Running
Wheels and spokes until you
Build your silkan death-trap cunning.
Shall l catch you, kill you?
Sprawling,
Nimble, shtewd as Gree,
Deaths your only aim and cslling-
Why should you have mercy?
Strike thee2
Not for rapine wilful.
Man himself is too much like thee,
Only not SO skilfdL

Thee lives our Creator:
Thon'rt a shape to hold a life in;

Bad Luck in the Spot.
There seems TO be n singular fatality rest
ing on the locality where young viii Ross
was killed 10y the explosion of his gun on
Okoboio creek, Sully county.
Near this same spot in the summer of
1885 two young ladies', the Misses Walter
and Kenney, were drowned while bathing.
Within few rods stood the house of Will
liam McCune, which was destroyed by fire
in the summer of 1887 during the absence OF
both parents, and three young children were
cremated. Later ono DIR. Veazie attempted
suicide in this same spot. He afterward
died from the effects of poison. Within
"A short distance a man named Porter was
killed by lightning. In the same locality
George Henderson was frozen to death. A

pounds each of sulphuric acid and black

delicate odor of pineapple, which, by the

Slightly wondering, we mounted one

climbed the steep pair of stairs that led to
the roof.
Once on the roof we had come upon a
scene of domestic felicity. There sat our
genial host, lounging in neglige attire in a
big armchair. Smoking the pipe of peace,
he looked the picture Of comfort. BY his

his mate reclined in hammock. Near at

A monster Fisl,.

Thompson Blanton, of Flatwoods, has
secured the biggest fish that has been
taken out of the St. Francois river for
years past. Together with his family, Mr..
B. has been spending several days in the
vicinity where the Little ST. Francois flows
into the Big st. Francois, camping, fishing
and having a good time generally. One
morning he took boat and went out gig.
ging He hadn't went far when he dis
tinguished a big moving mass in the
stream. At first he couldn't tell what II
was, but as the boat drew nearer he dis
covered that 1t was a monster fish. He let
the gig fly, struck center, and hauled his
game in. 1t proved to be big shovel cat
fish, measured four feet from tip to tip, two
feet in circumference and weighed almost
half hundred pounds.
The whole family lived on fish for three
days, and in verifcation of the truthful
ness of his story Thompson brought the
head of the fish into town. 1t alone was
over one foot in length and fully six inches
in diameter. 1t is the biggest fish story of
the season, and what makes it fully so is
that there is no exaggeration in the tale
The head is now on exhibition at the Pilot
Knob drug store, where the doubter can
go and assure himself Of the reliability OF
these statements.--Ironton (Mo.) Register.

THE RUcTIoN IN CHILL.


Senior Motto Thinks His Government Has
Done Nothing Wrong,
New YORK, Sept. 30.-The Heralda
Washington correspondent telegraph
ing with reference to the reported arrest
of Americans in Valparaiso says: The
Herald is the first paper read at tho
the CHILEAN confidential agency in the
morning. When Senior Montt took up
his copy the first thing that caught his
eye was The Heralds Valparaiso dis
patch containing an account of the ar
rest of the American citizens and the
harassment of the United States minister
This looked serious and the Gillian care
fully reread the dispatch. When | called
upon him in the afternoon he was pre-.
pared to defend his countrymen and the
junta.
IF the Americans were arrested he
said, "you can rest assured that it was
done in legal form aud for sufficient
cause. Chill as well as any other ma
ton, has right to arrest any one who
is disturbing her peace or engaged in
work inimical to her interests"
"What do you think of the legation
house having been put under guard2'
al can scarcely credit that statement"
replied Senior Mont. 81 have no proof
that such action was taken, and until
have official information of what has
occurred, | can not discuss thesituation. -

from Chiliy' l asked.
Nothing since Sunday, when we re-
ceived n cableEram from Senior Motto,
minister of foreign affairs, stating that
peace had not been, nor shall it be dis
turbed, least of all by military revolt.
The fact that our people have not in
formed us of the occurrences of the past
few days leads me to think that the sit
uation Is not rs serious as some people
suppose. If the arrest of these Ampri-
cans was considered of international inn
portance we would certainly have been
advised of it,
Have you had any communication
with the United States government on
the subject?"

Mr.. Julio Foster, who is still with the
Gillian legation here, was deeply inter
esved. He was disposed to place more
credence in it than was Senior Montt

There is no doubt that whatever move
was made by the juntq was made as ju-
diciously and rs thoughtfully rs n SINH

Matches.

Every man, woman and child in Europe
and America, taking the average, uses
eight matches every day in the year.
Does it not seem wonderful when one
considers the enormous number of matches
which ut that rate the civilized world
uses each year to light its fires, it's pipes
and cigars and other things which require
igniting for purposes of everyday con-
venience2 The very notion of getting on
without them seems so absurd that one
does not realize that it is only within the
last sixty years that they have been pro
durable,
How marvelously cheap they are tool In
fact there is no product of human manu-
facture that better illustrates the expense

one machine will turn out 100000

mankind regard the phenomenon of fires
as too commonplace to be worthy of So

piled to this venerable relic seemed to him
almost an offense.
