The spider is not an insect, though
probably nine people out of ten would
class it under this term. With scor-
pions and mites spiders form class in
the animal kingdom known as Arach.
nida This name Is derived from a
mythical parsonage called Arachne,
the daughter Of a purple dyer Of Lydia,
who was tabled to have challenged
Minerva to trial Of skill In spinning.
So indignant was the goddess at this
act of boldness that she forthwith
transformed the hapless challenger
into a spider, presumably in order that
she might have the best possible op-
rortunity Of practicing the art on
which she prided herself so much.
Spiders differ from insects In five
main particulars. Their eyes are sim
pie instead of compound, they have
eight legs in place of six, they do not
pass through the metamorphoses
which are characteristic of insects,
they have no antennn and their
breathing is accomplished by means of
organs which combine the functions Of
lungs and gills, instead Of by tubes
pervading their bodies. These points
Of distinction are sufficient to deter.
mine the fact that it is impossible to
class spiders as insects.

This is credited as one of General
Lew Wallace's Turkish jokes: There
lived in STEAMBOAT, Turkey, we'll to dc
Turk named lsmad lsmail Hassam
He was endowed with oriental wit that
stood him well in hand when he was in
a tight place. A neighbor called on Is
mail one day and wanted to borrow bis
donkey to use an hour. Ismail made a
low salaam and said:
'Neighbor, am sorry, but my boy
started on the donkey an hour ago to
Scutari. By now he is gayly trottinG
over the hills far from the sacred pre-
cincts of Stamboul"
Just as Ismail finished his speech q
doukeys loud bray was heard in the
stable, which was under the same roof
as lsmails house, but in the rear. The
neighbor said:
"Ah, hear your donkey Bray
lsmail protested that his neighbours
ears Were deceived and that the noise
was not donkey's bray Then the
donkey, which was supposed to be jog
ging along toward Scutari. prayed
twice Loudly. 1t was too much, and
the neighbor cried:
"Oh, that is your donkey. lsmail. All
lah help me. can now borrow him."
Then lsmail said:
(Which do you believe is lying, the
donkey or me:'
The neighhor had to give Ismail the
benefit of the doubt and went away

Rareaed numor of the Rockies.

OUR AMBITION

In the Present Contest

1t looks now as though the TELE-

realized. The list is rapidly growing
as the public is coming to realize
the full meaning OF this remarkable
offer.

the conditions OF the contest but In
case they have not it may be well to
say that there is no long drawn out
set Of complicated rules and regula-
tionS.
In brief it is as follows: - "For

that is presented at this Office certifi-
Gates will be issued in manner SINH

The Quaker Range contest; for every

The winner Of this contest Shall
nave the privilege of choosing one
other person to accompany him or
her said persourto 90 to Buffalo at

the same way.
But this does not end the affair by
any means, The TELEGRAM proposes
To see that 40 person who enters the
contest and takes any interest in the
same shall come out loser. We
therefore make a further inducement
most remarkable and attractive.
Every contestant, outside OF the one
who is victorious, who shall by s
O'Clock D. M, August 3lst, 1901, have
turned in $1,000 votes will also be
given free trip to buffalo including

take advantage OF this extraordinary
offer it will please the management OF
the TELEGRAM so times more than if
there is but one, 1.-THE more the
merrier. Don't say you must Stay
at home from the Exposition because
you can't afford to 90. That would
be ridiculous Wien such an otler as
this one is staring you in the face.

 Anarchy demonstrates its own utter irresponsible Vagaries is to draw the gov ernments of Christendom together for their own protection and to convert the victim of its murderous impulses into a worlds hero and martyr. America. en- Vied for its unparalleled prosperity and menaced with anti-tariff leagues on the continent. is suddenly overwhelmed with sympathy and good feeling because a President identified with protection ikld the Monroe doctrine is shot down at Q democratic function.

ALL EFFORTS
 HAVE FAILED The Steel Strike Will Be
 Continued. SKATER IS DETERMINED Says NoPeace Proposition Has
 Been Submitted. The Constituent Companies of the United States Steel Corporation are Succeeding in Open
 ing Their Mills
SKATER IS DETERMINED

Pittsburg, Sept. 9.-The last efforts to settle the steel strike have failed. The General Executive Board of the Amal- gamated Association adjourned this even ing without date and without either &C., cepting any of the peace propositions which have come indirectly from the United States Steel Corporation.-or mak- ing any counter-propositions, according to the official statement.
 The seni-official report is that the prop osition secured for the Amalgamated As- sociation through the intervention of the representatives of the National Civic Federation was unsatisfactory and that the entire matter of arranging for a set clement was left with President Shaffer. The Board. in its sessions of three days, has been clamoring for settlement, but satisfactory terms and means were not at hand and the sessions resolved them selves into an informal discussion of the situation.
 At the close of the meeting of the Na- President Shaffer said: The Board has adjourned and the out-of-town members will probably leave for their homes to- night. No peace proposition has been He added that he nor no other member of the Board would go to New York during the night to submit peace prop osition, saying that he would be at head quarters as usual tomorrow.
 The meeting of the board did not ad- journ in high good feeling, yet the menl- bers were averse to making statements.
 It was stated by some of the members that the adjournment had left matters practically as they were before the meet ing had been called and that the strike must go on as before
 Today completed the first thirty days since the American Sheet Steel Company the American Tin Plate Company and the American Steel Hoop Company be- gan their attempt to start the unioE plants of the country in the face of the Amalgamated Association strike.
