TWO OF MY FRIENDS.

Mrs. Spider killer and Mrs. Caterpillar
killer are two interesting California per-
sons with whom have become partially
acquainted. Mrs. Spider killer is little
creature considerably smaller than fly,
and of slate and brown color. She is
very lively when attending to spider,
and has the popularity of doing her
backward. That is. when she is drag
cling a spider along to the hole in which
she means to bury him, she seizes hold
of him and proceeds swiftly backward
toward the grave, the paralyzed spider
of course making no resistance. Walk
ing backward may perhaps be confusing
to Mrs Spider killer. She is so excita
BILE that it seems to me she might become
little confused. At all events. once in
September, when l stationed myself as
spectator of funeral procession of this
sort, Mrs. Spider killer lost, or seemed
to loose, the way to the spot for which
she was aiming, hole she had probably
dug before my advent. The funeral pro-
cession, the progress OF which watched
for fourteen or fifteen feet in all, was
rendered decidedly lively by Mrs. Spider
killers actions. Part way on the route,
she dropped the small reddish spider,
and hurried around. Her wings were
fiuttering most of the time of the process
sion.
l did not know where the hole was,
myself. and if l had, doubt whether
could have guided so excitable Great
ure as Mrs. Spider killer in her search.
At last she found the hole. Having
looked at it she came back, and, to judge
by her skipping around. could not find
her spider. He had not risen and run
away during her absence, however.
Probably he was too severely stung for
that. She found him and then toilsome-
ly little Mrs. Spi Ter killer pulled away,

had passed up sweet alyssum stem

desire had been to hasten onward, which
meant backward, no matter whether she
had eyes to see the road or not.
Mrs. Spider killer is one of the Hymens
optera, and probably from her habit of
going backward, belongs to Ammophila
or Pompilus. She is very much smaller
than Mrs. Caterpillar killer. but both
ladies have the same energetic spirit.

When they camein sight of the boat

but three boats ahead of them.
Ben's lips were tightly closed, now;
and he made each tack count for as
much as possible. When he changed
his course he brought the boat in

a second by useless Tapping of the

shining eyes.

the two boats shot forward, prov and

tiller and his boat swerved almost i'm
perceptibly to one side. The next
instant the other boat crossed the
line scarcely yard in advance.
Freddy uttered cry of dismay
and sank dejectedly on his seat. Ben
nodded brightly to the captain of the
victorious boat, and then turned the
"Mud Hen" toward shore.
AS he glided up to the boat land

and grasped his hand.

The curtain rises on a wildwood scene:
Thick trees, dense underbrush of brightest
green;
And in the midst a struggling form behold
deer caught In snare. His head so bold
All crowned with "antlers ten" he lifts on high,
And pain and terror flashes from his eye.-
Alas! how sad sight No more will he
Roam with his fellows meath the greenwood
tree.
His days of pleasure and of sport are dono;
For lookl there comes the hunter with his gun.
SCENE SECOND.

And shaded from the suns too ardent CLEAN,

Sits half-reclning on rustic seat.

Close to his elbow are with care displayed,
His face is placid, calm. all free from care
He wears restfull, take-it-easy air.
THE WHOLE.

We hear the sound of music and the roll
OF drums and cymbal, and the sound
OF many human voices, all around
A sea of heads. 1t is circus tent
And toward the centre all the eyes are bent
A form shoots from net high in the air.
Grasps a revolving bar, and hanging there.
He swings and whirls and hangs by foot or chin
And seems to deem his life scarce worth pin.

kamilii would be given away. After
the usual preliminary exercises had
been gone through, Mrs. H. H.

on the platform and, having signi-
fed her willingness, Adjutant Egner
dedicated the four children to the
service OF God in the Salvation
Army. Captain thinner and Lieu

Petition to Legislature for Saloons

There was very good attend
ance at the regular monthly meet
ing of the w. C. T. U. in the par
lors of the Central Union church
Tuesday afternoon.
The committee from the Loyal
Legion reported that they had been
addressed by Mrs. McCully-Hig-
gins and Mrs. Thrum at the last
meeting.
Miss Mary Green made her usual
report on the work among Hawai-
ians and spoke of everything per-
tanning thereto as being in a very
fourishing condition.
Miss Matte Chamberlain re-
ported on the Woman's Exchange,
of which the ladies of the w. G. T.
U. have charge. While everything
is in a very promising condition,
the ladies feel that they are not
getting the patronage which COM
munity so fond of the good things
of life should give them. The cause
is a good one, and if the people
would only spend their money
there for cakes, pies and the like
they need have no fear about re-
ceiving their moneys worth.
A committee was appointed to
confer with the various en-
ployers of the city with a
view to changing the regular
pay day from Saturday to some
other in the week. 1t is a recog-
nized fact that Saturday is one
upon which more pleasure is ex-
pected than any other during the
week. Men obtaining their money,
coupled with the fact that the next
day is one of rest, seems to be a
general incentive toward a "good
time" 1t is thought by paying the
men on some other day this evil
could be obviated to a great extent.
a committee was appointed to
draw up a petition to be presented
to the next Legislature, asking that
the saloons be made to close their
doors at 6 p. 10. every day.

was arrested by Officer Maxwell
yesterday for truancy. When the

which he interspersed with coax

be good and never run away again.
Notwithstanding this he was lock-

shortcomings today.
