WORKING WORKING GRAFT.
How Reformed Faker Earned Al
Honest Living

Honest Living
"Tve earned an honest living in many
ways" said the reformed faker, when
he was raking over the dead leaves Of
his past the other night, "but 1 never

see me, I'd just tackle the statesmen
somewhere else.
Then I got onto the money to be
made in strikes. Every time bill was

could about the matter there, and wrote
to a friend IN the city who looked up

Webs Woven Into a Not.

According to the Paris Temps cor
respondent at AntananarivO, a special
fine net, made entirely of spiders webs,
is being manufactured in the profess
sional school at Antananaxiyo. The
process is a very simple one. The thread
Of several dozen spiders Is wound on
winders, the quantity produced by
each spider ranging from fifteen to for
ty yards. The covering Of the web is
removed by repeated washings, and the
web made into a thread Of eight
strands. When the thread is spun. # is
easily woven into a gauze, which Is
very fine but very strong. 1t is to be
used for an experimental covering Of a
navigable balloon by NJ. Renard, the
head of the French military balloon
school at Chalais, near Paris, who has
been engaged for many years in ex-
perimenting In aerial navigation. 1t is
believed that the difference In the
weight of an ordinary spiders web will
make a great improvement.-Phila

MY LOVE-,
: thee is like 6e rose


Ny love for thee is like he rose
That bushes in the morning sun
And turns its inmost heart to thee
When night has come and day is done
Ny love for thee is like the breeze
That kisses every fragrant flower
And bears away the sweet perfume
That breathes for love from hour t
hour.
Ny love for thee Is Ike the sea
That sings and sounds on every shore,
And when the storms of passion rise
'Tis then I'm thine forevermore.
Ny love Is Ike the sunny beams
That siumbeT on the bounding wave,
immortal as ecstatic dreams
That thrill the soul beyond the grave,
Ny love Is like the twilight stars
Reflected on q summer sea-
Still shining DER the bays and bars
That kiss the shores Of memory.
My love is like the mystic moon
That rules the cbb and flowing tide.
That in it's beaminE, nightly noon
EnTraps the ocean as bride.
My love for thee is like the fires
That burn within volcanic isles
Undying, surging higher and higher
Supreme in your celestial smiles!

a triangular opening where the lower
