TARANTULA'S BIG JUMP.
Fierce Battle Waged by Huge Spider
Against Dog.

Fierce Battle Waged by Huge Spider
Against Dog.
There are strange sights to be seen
in Porto Rico" said young civil en-
gineer whose swarthy skin was speak
ing evidence of the year he had spent
in Uncle Sans newest possession.
"Tarantulas are one of them" he con-
tinued, land you should see taran-
tula jump! One of them went through
marvellous performance, with myself
and a dog for spectators. The dogs
barking awoke me early one morning,
and r slipped into my shoes and ran
out Spot--that's the dogs name-was
making frantic plunges at an enormous
tarantula, as big as my palm, and it's
legs covering as much ground as a
soup plate. It's wicked black eyes
made me creep. All of sudden the
thing shrank up like sponge, and
jumped for the deg; give you my
word 1t jumped fifteen feet il it was
an inch. Twice the deg ran under
the spiders jump-fact. Others were
watching by this time, and they all
saw it. Usually though, he just side
stepped bit. | broke up little pieces
of branch of tree and hurled them
at the tarantula. My aim was just
good enough to stir him up; at first he
kept jumping away from US, but Spot
always herded him back again; then
he jumped straight for US. At last a
lucky shot kee,ed him over, and few
strokes with convenient club finished
him. Drink g water would have been
a puzzle to us had it not been for the
cocoanuts. When near the coast We
gathered these ourselves or sent
poems after them, but inland we
bought them of carriers, who would
sell you cocoanut for one cent, would
chop off the ends with their machete.
and bore hole like ten-cent piece
for you. Then you drink the cocoa
water, as they call it, and throw the
nut away.
THE natives are, many of them,
a queer lot. The Spanish census made
the population IS per cent white and
Is per cent negro. I rather think the
American figures will just trans
pose those figures. "-Cleveland Plain

had been so occupied with her efforts
as regarded her husband, her plans of
reform, her schemes for the benefit of
others. that she had not given much
thought to her own position as a wife
whose husband made no pretense of
loving her. The knowledge of her real
status came to her now with a keen
sense OF intolerable pain, yet she
would have borne it's bitterness but
for the fear lest the brilliant, beauti-
full blonde should become as wise as
hersSf. That would have been intol-
cradle.
A trifing circumstance brought Hill
-dreds jealousy to a climax. The earl
was going out in a great hurry one
morning when he found that the but
ton of his glove was hanging by a
thread. Lady Hamilton, who was en-
gagged on some kind of fancy work
with needle and silk in her hand, sat
by He went to her at once.
Lady Hamilton, be kind to me-
give this one stitch" She laughingly
complied; she would not let him re-
move the glove.
You need not take that trouble"
she said-"I can do 1t as it is
With pale face and darkening eyes
the young countess watched the little
scene. Why had he gone to her for
this small service? Why should she
hold her husbands hand and look with
laughing eyes into his face? She could
not endure it. She went up to them.
II thank you, Lady Hamilton" she
said-'I will do that for Lord Cara

Lady Hamilton looked UP in amaze
ment, but there was something in the
young countess face which made her

high, clear voice.

NAMED quite silent. He looked at his
wife's face as she bent over the glove,
and he saw something there that,
shrewd as he was, puzzled him. Why
was she so pale? What was it that
shone and cleaned in the dark eyes?
Why did the proud lips tremble?
What was in her face? He gazed in
silent wonder. She had finished.
"The button will not come off again, .
she declared.
Il hope not" said Lady Hamilton,
in a peculiar tone of voice; and, if it
does, do not ask me to help you again,
Lord Caraven."
He turned away with laugh, but
the mischief was done; the sight Of
her guests golden head bending over
her husbands hand had famed the
jealousy Of the young wife into a flame
nor did what followed extinguish it..
The earl had laughed to himself,
thinking the occurrence a pretty bit
OF by-play. He was smiling still when,
an hour afterward, his wife met him.
"Hildred," he said in tone of gay
banter, were you jealous of Lady
Hamilton
Then the idea seemed so absurd to
him that he laughed aloud To his
surprise she grew deadly pale; her lips
quivered with emotion
"Yes," she replied, BITTERLY scorn
to speak falsely was jealous of her
You may think what you like of me"
Still he would not be serious about
1t. He said, jestingly:
II always thought until now that
jealousy presupposed love-"
did you?" questioned his wife, with
proud Indifference. Il always thought
love presupposed perfect trust
You are good fencer, Hildred,"
laughed her husband; and he thought
no more of the matter. But she did,
1t had wanted but that trifling incident
to fan her jealousy into flame.
How the hours of that day passed
she never knew. One picture filled her
minu--that of Lady Hamilton's golden
head bending over her husbands hand
She could not bear the thought of it.
He might not love her, but he should
not love anyone else. He should not
laugh because she was jealous, he
should not admire this fair woman
while he so cruelty neglected her. She
worked herself into a frenzy of jealous
despair. yet was outwardly calm and
proud as usual
The dinner-party at the castle on
that day was not large one; many
OF the guests bad left, Lord and Lady
Damers had returned home. Sir Raoul
was In his room. Lady Caraven had
dressed herself with unusual care and
attention.
During dinner she watched her hus-
band and Lady Hamilton. More than
once she saw them laughing and heard
them talking rnerrily. Was it of her?
Was the earl telling her that his wife
was jealous? And was she laughing
because the very cream of the jest was
that her husband did not care for her?
Then she grew ashamed of herself.
Such suspicious were unworthy of her.
She tried to Danish them, but they
wers too strong for her. Whenev,r

WHERE THE COIN WAS MADE.
Location of the Mint Can he Deter
mined by Certain Marks


mined by Certain Marks.
Coins and "coons" look alike to most
men, but 1t Is easy to tell where any
coin of twenty-five cents or over was
made. There are four places of coin
age in the country-Philadelp San
Francisco, New Orleans and Carson
City. The first mint was established
at Philadelphia, and as the founding
of other places Of coinage was then
unforeseen there was no necessity of
from that city. But as the country
grew in territory, population and
wealth, and as the mines in the west
were developed more and more. each
year, it became necessary to establish
other minis whereby the government
could keep track of the output from
each place, and, If an error should
occur in the coinage, could at once To-
cate the mint from which the defective
coin had come. All coins are supposed
to weigh exactly the same as others of
the same denomination. Silver coin
age may be pretty we'll worn before 1t
is liable to rejection, but that is not
the case with gold pieces, and slight
decrease in weight necessitates recoin-
age. 1t was for these reasons that
marks are put on coins made elsewhere
than in the Quaker City. These marks
are placed below the cage or the
bunch Of arrows. If there be a letter
in the place designated It will be either
a small s, o, or the two double letters
&C. Those bearing the letter 8 are
from the mint at San Francisco. Others
having the letter are from New Or
leans. while those bearing the letters
&C are from Carson City. If you do
not find any letter on the coin at all,
1t is an indication that the coin came
from Philadelphia.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

a Goal Trust.

The Canon City Clipper fears a con-
solidation of coal companies and the
probable raise III the price of coal. 1t
says:
No county in the state is more interest
ed than Fremont in the rumors to the
effect that the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company is about absorb the Victor
Fuel company. Both of these companies
are heavy producers of coal in this county.
and so long as they operate along
different lines, there is a hope at least
that the price aof fuel will not be
materially raised for local consumers.
But should the monster fuel company,
which is by all odds the most powerful
corporation in the state today, be able to
control the Victor Fuel company and its
mines in this county, there is telling
how soon the price of coal will go up.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that there is
no real basis for the reports that be-
ing circulated every day about the
consolidation of the two companies, or
rather the absorption of the smaller one
by the greater.

Everyb body is crying for coal, and there
was no coal yesterday or day before. 1t
is very difficult to get coal enough to
supply the demand at Canon City. The
trouble is said to be lack of cars to take
the coal away from the mines, and when
there are no cars to put it in the mines
have to shut down until cars arrive.
There is a great blockade of cars at Pu-
eblo, fifteen hundred or two thousand
there which they cannot get engines
enough to move out With sixteen switch
engines at work, and yard full of
switehmen, the blockade is unbroken
The blockade is partly due to the switch
mems strike. Although the strike is off
the old switchmen are not re-employed
and the green hands cannot do the work
of experienced men, The price of coal
will be advanced twenty five cents per
ton in few days--Canon City Clipper.
