M'KINLEY's FACE ON A JUG

Pottery bids 70 ir to be an important fac
tor in the present Presidential campaign.
Not that the name of either major candi-
date Is intimately associated with any
measure calculated to foster or invigOratc
the native pottery trade or that any salient
point In the career OF either lends itself
especially to the formations OF china ware.
The reason OF these things Is hardto name
Indeed. 1t is difficult to be assured that
they have reason. They drift into the
current OF affairs and trust to the caprices
OF tad and fancy to make them popular
and reap the reward for the projectors.
Though somewhat in evidence in an in
significantly minor way, pottery has nGs
protruded itself Into politics In SO rrouii-
nent fashion before this year since the .
memorable campaign of 1910. That was.
the campaign which rode William Henry
Harrison into the White House. Every
conceivable point In his canvass was liter
ally taken to the kiln and baked in clay.
There were log cabin iDkstands in pot
terry and glass; Jersey City pottery
flooded the country with hard CIDER
pitchers. LOG cabin tea sets and din
ner services for table use and for children-
playhouses were imported in large quan-
titles from English potters.

SPIDERS OMEN FOR GOLD
Insect Weaves McKinley's
Name in Its Web.
WITNESSED BY MANY PEOPLE
George Keiser, Who Lives in Chicago,
Seems to Have the Original Gold Bug
of the chronological WOrld-Name
of the Sound Money President Dis
tinctly Brought Out.

The eoriginal gold bug has been discover ..
1t has opened up headquarters at No 5256
Wabash avenue, Chicago. or course, it is
for Mckinley. To dissipate any doubt on
this point it has written NV. Mckinley
over the entrance.
The gold bug is beautiful large spider
with broad, oval patch of gold about the
size of a campaign button on its back and
bright gold markings on its head and legs.
When George W. Keiser walked into the
Httleg ardepin the rearof hishouse Wednes-
day morning he saw the spider quietly sit
ting in the middle of hg web, which was
heavy with silvery spots of morning dew.
Mr.. Keiser is not free silverite, so he
made 10 effort to find out whether the
dew was sixteen times as large as the gold.
From his point OF view the eternal fitness
Of things was finely typified as the gold
was in the center of the picture and the
silver dots all around looked like
subsidiary coin. He noticed also that
the sun quickly dlssipated the dew, while
the gold remained.
That's my idea exactly" mused Mr..
Keiser 1.-The gold ought TO lie kept in the
Treasury and the bank vaults, while the
silver should circulate to and from into the
banks and out again into the channels of
trade"
McKINLEY'S NAME STANDS OUT.
All this time he was engrossed with ad
niration of the spider and had not noticed
the unusual structure of the web, says the
Chicago Tribune. 1t was built according to
the customary model, except that in the
center there was perpendicular line CT
white running straight through the middle
Of the web.
Mr.. Keiser drew nearer and saw that the
line was strangely zigzagged. From the
position he was inhe W as unable to makeout
what purpose this line served in the econo-
my of the spiders house. Going round to
the other side, he read with astOnishment,
"w. Mckinley"
The w.. and IN" were joined in mono
gram style, but the remainder looked like
. rapidly written signature.
Fearing be was dreaming, Mr.. Keiser
called the other membrs OF the household
70 view the marvellous cobweb. They all
agreed that the writing was reality.
= wednesday evening some one In watering
the garden inadvertently broke down the
delicate fabric. The discoverer OF the gold
bug was disconsolate, as lie was contem-
plating kodaking the strange affair, but
yesterday morning when he got up he found
tbe spider putting the finishing touches to
another web in the same spot.

and sat down again just above the name
of the next President and waited for fly.
The writing was precisely Ike that in
the first web The spider looked gratified
at its success in reproducing the name so
exactly
Mr.. Keiser is not supeTstitious, but he
regarded the performances of the spider
with pleasure and wonder.
Opinion is divided on the subject of the
purpose, If any, served by the line of writ
ing Incorporated by the spider into its
home One naturalist said it was the de-
pository of tie cotton with which the
spider eDmeshes his victims II this lie
true the name of Mckinley was well chosen
for a mascot. Mrs. Keiser said the spider
caught on an average over 4 dozen flies an
hour.
The ground underneath was strew wn with
countless bits of wings, howing that the
gold bug was feeding well.
Others, however, intimated thatthe white
lettering was intended as a charm to en-
tice the flies into the net. Still others
thought the flies passing that way tried 20
avoid the conspicuous white threads and
in their confusion flew into the very place
the spider had prepared for their reception
Mr.. keiser last evening took down the web
with the intention Of having naturalist
OF the Chicago University pass on these
theories. However. the spider has not been
disturbed, and it is believed the magic name

A woman has no natural grace more be-

THE MCKINLEY JUG.
The pioneer piece of campaign pottery is
the Mckinley Jug. Indeed, this piece OF
ware is a species of holdover and has con-
nected with it an interesting story OF COM
mercial tact and trickery. The Jug was
made during the first outbreak OF Mckinley
sentiment several years ago, when the
Ohio man first became a predOminating
national figure, and because Of his re-
semblance to the great French leader, the
paragraphers compared him to Napoleon
and the cartoonists represented him in the
characteristic costume of the little Cor
sican, standing in his familiar attitude OF
gloom and meditation. 1t was this fig
ure which the Philadelphia potter put on
the front OF his Jug several years ago.
The figure represents Napoleon Mckinley

pulent proportion indicating that the In

pie liked the idea and the jug sold we'll

exhibit. There are not a few citizens
who take a lively interest in the growth
OF shade trees, and in front of their homes
can be found some of the finest specimens
in the city.
The greatest care has to be exercised In
keeping the trees in a vigorous and growing
condition There are many things which
affect their condition, and all these must
be watched as carefully as circumstances
will allow
ENEMIES TO SHADE.
One Of the most destructive elements
to the shade trees is the foul coal and
sewer gases that find their way through
the crevices Of the earth to the roots OF
young, trees. Where this state of az
fairs exists the effect is quickly notice
able; the tree droops and continues to do
SO until it dies, unless the defect is rem
edied and the escaping gases are turned
away from the nearby trees. Worms and
insects, too, do considerable damage to
trees, but SO familiar has the commission
become with the habits of the tree worms
and insects, and SO well can they be
handled, that they have little trouble in
getting nd OF the pests almost as quickly
as they present themselves. This Is the
result of costly experience, but the final
results will be more than satisfactory.
The effect Of trees in cities, whether
beneficial or otherwise, has for years
been q question not fully determined, theiR
close proximity to dwellings giving rise
to the discussion Of the matter by sani.
.tarians time and again. Some claim that
the cooling effect consequent upon the
evaporation from the leaves Of trees dur

There are no log cabins figuring in the
