Ants That Fight Spiders.

Few more wonderful adaptations are
seen In the whole round of nature
than the webs spiders spin to entrap
the wary ant. They are not high hung,
lacy affairs. caressing every breeze, but
low set. silken tubes stretched in the
grass. the crevices of rock or about
tree roots. Ants of every size creep
heedlessly into them. The spiders eat
them with relish. but occasionally a
very little spider and n very big ant
engage in a duel to the death. If the
spider can bite. the ant can sting, and
does 1t with 4 right good will. The
spider does not try to get rid of such an
ant rs he does of wasp or bee too
strong TO be safely attacked. Such an
insect which threatens destruction to
the web, is often cut out of ii by the
web builders. The entangling cables
are not loosed. but the web rays neatly
shipped in two, first those underneath
and at the very last the highest flla
ment Often the letting go of such n
captive means destruction TO half the
nest. But some spiders are wiser than
some people. They know not merely
when they have enough. but when they
have too much.

Woes of a New Member

Wall street gossip has attributed the
palm for hard luck to a recently elect
ed member OF the Stock Exchange who
purchased lot of valuable experience
at a very high price. He paid nearly
$4,000 for his seat and although he
was not well versed In the business
done on the floor he plunged into 1t
with a courage commensurate to his
ignorance. He misunderstood his or
ders and he neglected occasionally to
make a memorandum of his sales.
When he found that customer had
asked him to sell certain stock In
stead of buy 1t, ms he had done, he
tried to make good his losses from his
blunder by taking n small gamble on
his own account. Business on the
Stock Exchange is done In rush In
these days, and the man who hesltates
or who is slow-wltted finds himself
outclassed. This new member at the
end of his first month on the exchange
balanced up his business and found
that his losses due TO his own blunders

HEAlO'S BUSINESS COLLEGE.
A Prosperous and Popular San Francisco
Institution.

Among the institutions identified with the
growth and development of San Francisco
Heald's Business College holds conspicuous
place. Both as a business enterprise and an
educational institution 1t has been ever since
Its organization, nearly forty years ago, ex-
tremely popular and eminently successful. Ii
is in the class of those solid and substantial in
situations in which city takes pride. Citizens
point to II as one Of the old reliable and thor
oughly progressive establishments, an institu-
ton with definite purpose and an unques-
toned status.
In connection with commercial education
the name of Heald's is household word on the
Pacific Coast and throughout the country At
large. In its own field Of effort IL Is widely
known as Stanford or Berkeley for 1t enrolls
students from the four quarters of the globe.
In 1899 every county In California but four had
students In Heald's Business College. The four
not represented were Del Norte, Lassen, Orange
and Ventura. The register of the college shows
that in 1900 students were enrolled from the
following States and Territories outside OF
, California;; in many cases there were several
representatives from each; Nevada, Iowa,
Washington, Oregon, Montana, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, Pennsylya-
mia, New Jersey, Vermont, Virginia and New
Mexico. In 1900 students came directly to the
school from Mexico, Canada, Japan, the Ha-
waaiian Islands, Yukon Territory, Siberia and
Central America. Enrollments We're also made
from England and Sweden.
It's large body of alumni constitute most
formidable promoting force, and the steady
growth of the college can be attributed largely
to the CONNIE nding voice of these thousands OF
graduates, who know whereof they speak.

From the many anecdotes of Bamp-

When the mayor of Brldgewater
heard that this motley group Of Grip

that, In fact. he could make the blind

Bets were freely made that he could do
nothing of the kind, and thereupon the
mayor had the gypsles arrested and

after hearing their narrowing tales, or

the municipal surgeon entered with
lantern and announced that he would
examine them all In the morning I'm or

not they really suffered from deformity
of one kind or another, and he went on
to say that those who were found to be
impostors would be treated by the
mayor with severity SO extreme that,

misguided wretch to escape there and
