A LIVING
The Crablike Spider That Poses as
Iucntan's weather Sharp.

YucntHn's Weather Sharp.
In Yucatan, a land Of many curiosi-
ties, there is a living barometer in the
form of a small spider, called 'am' on
account of the effect produced by its
poison. AS far as its own conduct goes,
the insect is inoffensive and can be
handled With impunity, but if anybody
has the misfortune to get one mysteri-
ously mixed with his food he is certain
to die after a few hours and meanwhile
for some unexplained reason will fire.
quently calculate Am, am, am!' hence
the name of the spider. Throughout
the peninsula this is affirmed to be a
fact. and if an am falls into fodder of
horses or mules the animal that swal-
lows it surely dies.
This spider is shaped like a crab.
minus the claws. and is of a bright vel
low color. with brown spots; the big
gest could be accommodated upon a
silver dime. Its favorite abode is
among the leaves of the banana shrub,
commonly. but enormously, called tree.
There it spins with extreme rapidity,
its web. which is pr%odigiously large,
considering the size of it's architect,
and proceeds to devour the flies that
are unlucky enough to get entangled
in the meshes of this astonishing little
glutton, that is not satisfied with less
than a dozen a day-that is to say, it
consumes a good deal more than it's
own bulk. Its progeny is numerous
and. appears at first like more black
| specks, smaller than the smallest pins
head.
The sky may be blue and cloudless
when suddenly the am commences TAX
ing in its sails, or. rather, gathering in
its net, with neatness and dispatch,
examining the whole of the material
into its diminutive body entirely out of
sight. A few minutes completes the
job, and the spider takes up its posi-.
ton on the under surface of one of the
great leaves to be lulled by the gentle
swaying and sheltered while the storm
RACES. 1t is for this that the am has
prepared. and never is it mistaken.
When the web is taken in, rain will
certainly fall within an hour.
The moment the am is touched it
feigns death and lets itself drop, show
ing no sign of life until again placed
upon a leaf or on the ground. Many a
n has lain in the palm of the writer's
hand inert, all its legs drawn close to
its body, While it was examined at
leisure, even being picked up in the
fingers without its manifesting any
life.

PARTRIDGE SEASON.
SpOrtsmen May Begin to Kill the
Birds Next Tuesday.

Many OF the local sportsmen have
been making preparations to drop
the cares of life for a few days and
go in search of the elusive partridge.
The open season in the upper PENN
sula begins next Tuesday Oct. lst.
The opening of the bird season
now excites almost as much interest
among sportsmen as the opening OF
deer season in November.
Partridge are said to be, very
plentiful this year. Forest fires,
which have been the chief enemy OF
the birds in other years have not
prevailed much this year, and this
accounts for a large increase in
their numbers. Hunters who have
been out prophesy great JOY and
big returns.

1t is said that severe clash Of

village had always been her home.

disposition, and above al, devoted and
attentive to her home surroundings.

Items of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.
KILLED WIFE WITH A DIRK.
MenOminee Man Slashed a De-
fenseless Woman In a
Shocking Manner.

Joseph Detlaff, of Menominee, q
laborer, fatally stabbed his wife at
an early hour Monday morning. He
returned home from a camp along
the Wisconsin and Michigan rail-
road late at night. He crawled in
a window and his wife fled through
the front door into the street in her
night clothes. She stumbled and
fell to the ground, when Detlaff at;
tackled her with dirk knife, cut
ting open her abdomen, stabbed her
twice in the breast and slashed her
arms and back in shocking man
ner. Detlaff made his escape to the
woods where he was captured about
8 0 clock. Both Detlaff and his wife
were middle-aged and were the
parents of seven children. The
husband was lately released from
Jail, where he served thirty days for
beating his wife. What added to
the enormity of the crime was the
fact that Mrs. Detlaff was soon to
become a mother and the brutal act
was double murder, the unborn
child having been pierced and killed
by the same weapon that took the
mothers life.
Fire in the business portion of
Lake Linden caused losses of -$50, 600
Tuesday. A high wind was blow
ing at the time and it took all the
departments at the lake to handle
the blaze. The Butterfeld Hotel
was destroyed; loss, S25 900. A
brick building containing a jewelry
store and tailor shop was also de-
stroycd; loss, ,s25, 900. Allie Kirchen,
tiremen, was injured by a falling
wall.
Wreckage from the lost steamer
Hudson is strewn along the beach
of the peninsula for a distance of
twenty miles. Capt. Henry Corgan,
keeper of the light at Copper
Harbor, has picked up lifeboat No.
l, rope box, bell pull, doors and
bedding along the shore.

DIED OF CONSUMPTION.
TeleSphOre BOivin Succumbs
After a Long Illness.

Telesphore Boivin. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. a. Boivin, of this village, died
early Tuesday morning of consump-
tion, after lingering illness with
the disease for nearly a year.
Telesphore, who was generally
known as ''Babe" among his friends
and acquaintances, was 2l years
and months old, having been born
in L'Anse on April II, 1880, and
lived here all his life with the
exception of about year spent in
the copper country. His illness
began with severe cold which he
had contracted while at Hancock
last winter, and it gradually de-
veloped into the disease which car
ried him off. He came home from
Hancock and about the latter part
of March it was realized that he
was in the last stages of the disease
and all hopes were given up for
his ultimate recovery. He fingered
on through the warm summer
months, and was seen very often
on the streets seeking the warm
sunshine, until the recent chilly
spell, when he kept in the house al
most continually. The disease had
brought him down. to mere
shadow of the strong young mau
he was before it took hold of him.
The funeral was held Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock from Sacred
Heart church, Rev. Fr. Sauriol con-
Quoting the services, which were
largely1attended.
An older brother of the deceased,
Samuel, who left L'Anse about five
years ago and is at present To-
Gated near San Francisco, Cal,
could not be notified in time to
arrive for the funeral.
Mr.. and Mrs. Boivin desire to
thank their friends for the kind as
sistance shown during the last hours
and after the death OF their son,
and assure all that their acts will
always be remembered.

STATE TAX LEVY
Will Show Exactly What Each
County Must Contribute for
Each Object Provided for.

The work Of spreading the state
tax this year has been delayed some
what by the necessity for waiting
until the state board completed the
work of equalization.
There are more objects to be COW
cred by this years state tax levy
than ever before, the number of sep
arate items involved being 81, or IA
more than last year. The levy must
show exactly what each county must
contribute to each object provided
for. This calls for more than 5000
distinct computations, the sum total
Of which must not vary a single
sou from the aggregate Of the state
tax.
