I once had q spider pet of kind the

"a fine, big fellow. I caught him in the
garden, carried him home. and for
nearly two months he and took close
interest in each other, he for the flies

in a milliner's box, letting him ont

from one hand by his fine spun thread,

other or gently compelling him to climb
back again by apparently eating his
own ladder.

the same species kept him for a few
days in separate box, and then, with
the kindly idea of companionship, in

Tiger was the victor, but even while
with brutal wrath, all mangled as he

a CLERKS BLUNDER.
0rrington. Me-, Got Its Name Through His
Wonderful Spelling.

Orrington, Me-, Got Its Name Through His
Wonderful Spelling.
As often as once month something
happens in Orrington, Me-, which is of
enough Importance to make it worthy
Of mention, and whenever the place is
put in print the name is always spelled
wrong. Most of the time it is called
"Orvington. though " "Ovington'' and
"Ovvington'' are not uncommon. In
fact, the towns name is spelled every
way but the right way. Nj of this is
due to the blunder of prominent citi-
zen who used phonetic methods of spell
ing.
1t was nearly 125 years ago that some
of the leading citizens met and drew
mp petition to the general court of
Massachusetts,, asking that the planta-
tion be incorporated as a town. The
people agreed upon the name. Itwas to
be called Orangetown, partly out of
compliment to Orangetown, Md.Awhich
was then a thriving place, and partly as
mark of respect to the Prince of
Orange, who, as William III Of Eng
land, had done valiant work in behalf
Of the Protestants. Having signed q
blank petition, the residents went home,
leaving the clerk of the meeting to fill
in the spaces, which he did faithfully
according to the light which was given
him. Of course the members Of the
Massachusetts general court did not
know that 'O-r-r-i-n-g" was meant 10
spell orange, or that s.t-o-n" spelled
town. Very likely they didn't stop to
look at the name and wouldn't have
cared if they had seen the bad spelling.
They incorporated the town without
protest and named it Orrington, as, the
petition had asked them to do. Though
Orrington received its name because an
old clerk didn't know how to spell aad
Though it is the only Orrington in the
world. it gets little credit for being
original. because compositors, proof
readers and careful copyists insist upon
misspelling word that owes its birth
to bad photography. New York Sun.

4 Many Of the models for summer
gowns, says a New York fashion writer,
have fat bands of velvet sewed on the
skirt or lace insertions set in about four
inches apart, some Of these showing q
color contrasting with that Of the dress
set beneath each row Of insertion. Tiny
ruches Of silk outline the skirt seams.
and wider ruches trim the extreme edge
of the skirt, adorn the sleeves and finish
the diminutiye shoulder cape, and on
other gowns accordion plated frills rip

The defense resumed it's attack on
the states expert testimony, and At
totney Vincent spent nearly two hours
trying TO discountenance Prof Charles
V. Bailey, whose evidence has been SO
damaging TO the prisoner at the bar.
Prof. Bailey proved match for
the lawyer and his coachers at near
" every point. Though hard pressed.
the witness kept his temper and pa
ticntly answered the incisiye questions
without apparently weakening the
states case.

examination the most sensational and
startling testimony was brought out.

This evidence produced n sensation

identified another piece OF bone as the
left temporal bone of a female. lie
said the size and shape of the bone led
him 10 this conclusion. This bone also
bore evidences Of having been scared
by fire.
The prosecution Is nearing the end.
Assistant States Attorney McEwen
stated that the state would rest It's case
by Saturday at noon
