The Grandeur Of the Great natural
Bridge In Virginia.


Bridge In Virginia.
Virginia is a state which abounds
with springs which have medicinal
properties. II IS also a state IN whicIi.
nearly every foot OF ground has hlstor.
&c associations. and this fact, together
with its glorious landscapes, makes II
an unusually Interesting state to visit
There are thousands Of resorts, each Of
which has It's own special attractions.
but none has attracted more visitors
than the resorts In the vicinity Of the
Great Natural Bridge, which is one OF
the natural wonders Of the United
States.
This marvellous structure oyerlooks
the James river valley, being on the
western slope OF the Blue mountains.
1t IS Just about the center Of the state.
1t approaches Niagara in grandeur and
exceeds IL in height and awful mystery.
1t is a single block OF limestone, with
many shades of color The walls are
smooth, as II cut with chisels, and there
is no sign Of displacement.
The visitor follows tumbllng cas-
cade down a deep fssure IL the noun
tain under some Of the largest arbor
vite trees in the world and. turning
down a line of steps cut into the preci-
plce. suddenly finds himself by swift
stream In a dark canyon and the great
bridge far above him. Birds high in
mir pass under the blue arch. The place
is full of echoes. and the winds and
waters moan externally.
Washington when surveyor for
Lord Fairfax visited the natural bridge
and carved his name, where It may
still be seen. The original bridge tract
was granted by King George III. TO
Thomas Jefferson In 17T4. After he
was president Jefferson visited the
place. surveyed it and made the map
with his own hands. Jefferson spoke
Of the place as "A famous place that
VIII draw the attention Of the world"
Chief Justice Marshall wrote OF the
bridge rs Gods greatest miracle in

An elderly lady who lives in her own house at Bu.tes Chaumont, Paris has discovered that spiders are peculiarly apprcciative of music. She has maIe great pets of them. and her house is full of spiders of all kinds, on whom She spends her time and fortune.
 Her proteges are lodged in large airy room, where she has provided ev' cry necessary support for their differ ent webs. Her great favor,tes are i'm mense black spiders, which, with their hairy legs and great bodies, look very repuls've to others.
 Wh. , she is inclined to show off their capabilities for music. she surrounds herself with circle of water to keep off their too delicate attentions and plays slowly, softly and in minor key on the harp. From all corners of the room the spiders run toward her, lis tening with evident pleasure, but should she strike up noisy, gay, inharmoni- ous strain they scamper back to their holes as though disgusted.
 X curious fact In connection with this story is that the lady bears the birth mark of a spider.

Congress M N Marshall Evolves
Better Rural Route Scheme
Than Bristow's Ruling
MORE PEOPLE BENEFITED BY 1T
If MarshaII's Plan Were Allowed One
Carrier Could Serve on Two Routes
Delivering Mail Every Other Day to
Patrons of Each-system Will Prove
Boon to Farmers.

Cakes, N. D., Sept. 16.-Congressman
Marshall, who has a well-establisheu
reputation for doing things. is trying to
get ahead of Mr.. Bristow, the fourth
The ruling Of the department that nc
free rural route would be established
unless serving at least 100 families, eff
fectually tied up sixty or seventy petit
lions duly presented to the department
thru the congressman This is a poser
but Mr. Marshall has no thought of
surrender. He is not gutter.
Some time ago he wrote Mr.. Bristow
suggesting that in cases where two
routes We're asked for, and neither
having the required number of families,
an every other day service be provided
over each, the same carrier to carry
the mails on both routes. Mr.. Bris-
tow acknowledged the receipt of the
letter and stated that the suggestion
was of so much importance that it had
been referred to the postmaster gen.
eral himself. Nothing has yet been
heard from the latter, but when the
opportunity presents itself the matter
will be pressed by Mr.. Marshall and 1t
is believed with fair prospect of sue
cess.
The service suggested by Mr.. Mar
shall would be sort of star route SER
vice and more persons would be bene-
flied by it than under the 100 family
plan. Every route would have from
fifty to seventy-h five families and as the
country settles up the list would steadf-
ly grow. The farmers would be salts
fed for they would get their mail every
other day and have it brought to their
doors, and, besides, there would be the
certainty that in a short time, by rea-
son of new immigration and settlement.
their routes would soon have hundred
families for patrons and that a daily
service would then in all probability
be established.
Before this point was reached there
would be no decrease. but rather an in
crease, in revenue for the government.
and the law would be doing just what
1t was devised to do, serving the larg-
est number of patrons at the minimum
of expense.
1t is not generally known, but 1t is
a fact that the system suggested and
advocated by Congressman Marshall is
in use at two points in this state. One
of these is Valley City. The every
other day service is boon to farmers
on these routes, and if Congressman
Marshall can get ruling providing for
Its establishments at points which have
petitions pending he will make ten
strike with goodly part of his constit-
uency and will pretty we'll have solved
