Good Thing for Thompson.

A building contractor having heard
chat his men did not start work as
promptly as they should, thought he
would drop around some morning and
see. AS he came to the building in
course of erection he saw man with
his hands in his pockets, smoking, while
a carpenters kit, unopened, lay at his
feet. Simply asking his name, which
he found to be Henry Thompson, the
angry contractor counted out four
days pay, gave it to the man and Or
.ieredI him to leave at once. Then the
contractor went to the foreman and
cold how he had made an example of
Thompson for loafng. What" ex-
claimed the foreman. "Why, that
man Thompson was only looking for

A WRESTLING SPIDER.
Queer Insect Found by n Massach"-
sets Man in n Prohibition
District.

Fl. A. Peters, one of the owners OF
the Lashaway dairy farm near Spencer,
Mass. while on his way to Spencer
lately captured an immense spider OF
unknown species. When Mr.. Peters
first saw the spider, which was maxi
ing bee line over the public highway
for East Brookfield, he was so amazed
at the sight that he rubbed both eyes
several times before he could realize
that the monster was reality. Ihen'
hastily grasping an empty glass milk
lar. Peters jumped from the wagon
and was about to make the stranger a
prisoner. when he was startled by the
distinctly audible whistle emanating
from the insect, says a New York eX-
change.
Instantly flock of minute fac
SMILES of the peculiar spider came
rushing from all directions. clambered
m the legs of the big spider and hid
themselves in the fuzzy hair on its
| back.
This was more than Peters could
stand, especially as after securing her
young. Mrs. Spider assumed defensive
attitude.
Peters thrust the mouth of the jar
over the whole family of spiders and
made them prisoners. Hundreds have
since viewed the monster and its on
spring, and all are puzzled.
The body of the large spider is ~
inches in length. The body is blacl
and is supported by eight powerful
legs, each two inches long. The heac
is supplied with powerful-looking jaws
from which two feelers. one-half incl
in length, protrude. The beady eye
| are let black.

When sprngtime came, and with II
the ambition of the farmers to be up
and doing. so impatient were they for
the coming of Rebecca that some ore
was chosen whose duty it was to an
nounce her arrival and note her move

forth. the good housewives knew she
would soon be putting her house IN
order, and made haste to follow her

But seedtime had not yet come

would blowing and planting begin ano
all kinds of farm work go confidently

A man in upper Michigan has a novel
source of revenue. While in his barn
attending to his horse he found rather
mangled two-dollar Canadian bank
note on the floor. 1t was sent to Otta-
wa and redeemed. A few days later he
found a ten-dollar bill, and later two
five-dollar bills. Since then he finds
bills every three or four days. They
are all chewed or crumpled, and the
theory is that mice are bringing them
from some place in the neighborhood
perhaps a cellar, where they have been
hidden for years. The ueighbors are
much agitated for fear the secret hoard
is in their houses, but the finder will
allow no one to enter the barn and
