The story has been illustrated by Kate

n brluegrOOm bau u Dog License.
People who have lived in cities where
marriage licenses are required often
have great difficulty in understanding
the system in vogue here. They cannot
realize that the services of n minister OF
alderman are all that is necessary when
the parties nave reached the proper age.
A German whose knowledge of the Eng
lish language is limited wished to get
married not long ago, and being under
the impression that a license was neces-
sary he started out to secure one. He
wandered around the p~ostoffice and the
various municipal and county buildings
for an hour or two, unable to find the
place where licenses were to be had.
Finally he managed to explain to n
policeman that he wanted n license, al.
though he was unable to make it clear
what kind of a one he was after. The
officer directed him to the place where
dog licenses are issued, and the happy
sutton paid his fee and received the
precious paper.
That evening the German and his
b~lushing afianced went to the house of
a minister to ave the Gordian knot tied.
When the bridegroom proudly handed
over his dog license the worthy pastor
could hardly perform the ceremony for
suppressed laughter. The couple, how
ever. were none the less firmly married
because the paper allowed the husband
to keep a dog instead of to wed a wife,

Pugnacious Spiders.

In the year 17O9 it was discovered that a new and very beautiful kind of silk could be made from the webs of certain species of spiders. The threads were found to be easily separated. carded and spun, affording a much finer fila ment than that of the silk worm and equally susceptible of dyeing. Stock ings and gloves were made from the material, naturally of beautiful gray color, and great expectations of the usefulness of the invention were enter tained. At the beginning a difficulty was found in the fact that it would re quire 66S, 522 spiders to furnish one pound of the thread and 1t was declared impossible to provide so many of the creatures with flies, their natural food. This obsticle was soon removed by find ing that they would subsist very well upon chopped earth worms and the roots of feathers, but an insurmounta- ble obstacle arose from their unsocial inclinations, inasmuch, as when they were put together, they soon began to quarrel, the strongest devouring the weakest until of several hundred in a box but three or four remained alive after a few days.

CENSUS statistics seldom give satisfac- tion, and complaint is made in England because the recent enumeration only shows an increase of about 2,OO0,000 III population for the decade. Still the fact remains that, with an area about like that of Illinois or Missouri, Great Britain supports population-of 3s,OOO,- 900 and adds to it constantly, though the flower of her youth are emigrating to the United States and Australia by hundreds of thousands annually.

Conflicting Statements About the Trouble

 NEW YORK, May 12.-Members of the Lumber Dealers Association, true to their word, shut down their yards and locked out their employees, although the state ments varied considerably as to tho ex- tent of the lockout.
 A. T. Decker, Chairman of the Dealers Labor Committee, said that eighty firms had shut down, locking out 2,50O lumber handlers, and Walking Delegate Haggerty claimed that they had visited the yards throughout the city, and there are only a few yards that have closed, affecting 300 men, many of whom are non-union.
 It is difficult to harmoniEe these state ments, but lumber is being delivered in the city by some firms, and the locked-oHt men have not established any meeting place, so it is difficult to properly esti- mate the number. One thing is certain, though, the action of the lumber dealers has caused no excitement among build
