Bell as genial friend and host.
The Mt. Hood hotel is too well known
to the travelling pubic to require de-
scriptiOn in detail, but for the benefit
of readers of this paper at a distance
We will state that it is a fine, modern.
two-story structure, located conven-
iently to the depot and overlooking the
majestic, on-howing Columbia river.
There are 20 guest rooms. equal in
their furnishings and arrangements to

men. The cuisine department is in
charge OF competent hands. aud the
tab les are supplied with the best the

at the Mt. Hood hotel when visiting
Hood River. The rates are reasonable
ana reductions are made to guests who

ness trip.
MI. Bell came to Hood River from
Eastern Oregon about nine years ago
and was at first engaged in the sawmill
business. Three years later, he took
hold of the hotel and has made a suc-
cess OF it from the very beginning.
Besides being popular landlord, Mr..
Bell is sanguine and enthusiastic
supporter of all enterprises for the good
of the public and his deservedly high
standing as a caterer and a business
man is second only to his popularity
with his guests and many personal
friends. He is member of the city

PolitcuesS

POliteness is in business what STRAIT
cseln is in wal. 1t gives power to weak
ness: it supplies great deficiencies and
overcomeS the enemy with very little
loss of time ana blood. 1t is invincible
either i'll the attack or defense. There
is no investment so remunerative. 1t
is simply putting out kind works and
courteous manners at compound inter-
est. There is no commodity costs so
little and Vet is so rarely possessed.
With some persons this quality is
really innate, and with others it is de-
veloped by proper home training and
refined associations. True politeness
springs from goodness of heart. A
truly sympathetic nature is ever gen.
erous. 1t Views its fellows from per-
sonal standpoint and cannot, there
fore, fail to he polite. \ polite person
often succeeds in life when those Of
ability fail. Concilatory manners have
made the fortunes of physicians, law
Scrs, divines. politicians and mer-
chants. for aifabiiity creates instan-
taneously Il prepossession in favor of
the person who exhibits it. OF two
men equal in all other respects the
courteously polite one has the advan-
tage Of the other, who is deficient in
this quality, and by far the better
chance of making his way in the
World.-Great Thoughts.

Fish-Eating Spiders.

There are certain large sea spiders
1.-TWO feet from toe to toe), collossendeis
gigas, thst live in the water and feed
entirely upon molluscs and worms. The
carnivorous wolf spider. an amphibious
inhahitant of the tropical regions of
South America, is said to prefer fish
diet, though it is not averse to eating
mice. young birds, and even snakes. re-
sembling in this respect the therapho-
sidae, or bird-catching spiders of India.
and Queensland, some of which equal
a rat in size. The collossendeis is the
most formidable specimen of the spider
family, measuring six inches round the
body and possessing twelve long, hairy
legs with which it grips its finny prey.
1t attacks fish several times larger
than itself, and, after biting them
through the back and singing them to
death, gluts itself by sucking the juices
from the bodies of its victims.
