THE SPIDERS LIFELINE.
Insect Crusoe Found Way of Get
ting Itself Out of Critical -
0 Situation.

The more man learns of the ways of
animals the more he respects them,
and the more he feels that they are
embodiments of the wisdom of the
Creator as truly as man himself.
Therefore, although mans experiments
with the mute creature are sometimes
trife hard on them, there is an ulti-
mate gain in understanding and SYM
pathy. A writer in the Hearth tells of
an experiment he made on spider.
Il took wash basin and fastened in
it stick upright like mast, and then
poured in water enough to turn the
stick into an island for my spider,
which I named Crusoe .
Il put him on the mast. AS soon as
he was fairly cast away he anxiously
commenced running round to find the
mainland. He would scamper down
the mast to the water, stick out foot,
get it wet, shake it, run round the
stick and try the other side, and then
run back to the top again.
pretty soon it became serious mat
ter to Mr.. Crusoe, and he sat down to
think it over. AS I was afraid he
might be hungry put molasses on
the mast. A fly came, but Crusoe
wasn't hungry for flies just then. He
was homesick' for his web in the cor
ner of the wood shed. He went slowly
down the pole to the water and touched
it all around, shaking his feet as puss
does when she vets her stockings in
the damp grass.
Suddenly a thought appeared to
strike him. Up he went, like rocket,
to the top, and began to play circus.
He held one foot in the air, then an
other, and turned round. two or three
times.
He got excited, and nearly stood on
his head before l found out what he
had discovered. and that was that the
draft of air made by the fire would
carry line ashore on which he could
escape from his desert island.
"He pushed out thread that went
floating in the air, and heightened and
heightened until at last it caught on
the table. Then he hauled on the rope
until it was tight, struck it several
times to see If it was strong enough to
hold him, and walked ashore. de-
cided that he had earned his liberty"

ORNAMENT YOUR OWN LAMP
A Dainty Bit Of China Decorating
Which Can Be Kept in Evidence
the Year Around.

One Of the most satisfactory objects
for the china decorator to expend her
labor upon is porcelain vase to serve
as the foundation Of a parlor lamp.
This is something which, unlike the
decorated punch bowl or soup tureen,
is constantly IN use and in evidence.
It Is something thoroughly worth
while, and for which somewhat dis
proportionate price is usually paid in
the shops.
The motive we give for the decora-
ton Of a porcelain lamp vase may, If
desired, be easily adapted to q taller
vase by lengthening the flower-stalks.
The curious plant depicted (sarra-
cenia) is we'll known with us under its
various names of the pitcher plant,
side.saddle flower and trumpet Leaf.

and the same day Williams filed an
application to amend his homestead
covering a part of the Nesbitt tract.
Search of the records showed the re-
linquishment of Miss Nesbitt to have
been forgery. This was brought to
the attention of a special agent of
the general land office, and Williams
was indicted by the federal grand
jury last fall for forgery, and gave
bonds to appear for trial next April
George w. Nesbitt, a son and
brother of the missing women, ar
rived here from Omaha last week,
and began investigations. Going to
Mt. Hood, he discovered where a
grave had been dug on the Williams
place and had recently been reflled.
In the bottom of the grave was found
some gunny sacks matted with clot-
ted blood, also two large buches of
human hair. 1t is supposed that the
bodies of Mrs. Nesbitt and her
daughter had been buried in this
grave by Williams, who, becoming
alarmed by the indictment in the fed
eral court, removed the bodies to
some other place.
Mr.. Nesbitt has been working on
clews for some time, and has uncov-
cred Williams bad criminal history.
He was sentenced to the Nebraska
penitentiary for rape, but was re-
leased after serving half his term.
He has been married six times, two
of his wives having died suddenly
and under suspicious circumstances.
The evidence in the hands of the
district attorney is most damaging
against Williams, and if not satisfac-
torily explained away will likely land
him on the gallows.

CHRISTIAN
CHURCH
MEETINGS
They Are Growing in Inter
est Under the Lead of
Rev. Erritt

A good audience was present last
night at the First Christian church
to listen to Rev. Davis Errett's sec
ond sermon 1.-THE Bible"
Rev. Clark Bower, pastor of the
First Christian church OF Albany. was
present and read the scripture lesson.
and made the opening prayer. The
sermon last night dealt principally
with giving and meeting objections to
the Bible. Mr.. Errett said: "No
book could grow and become an influ-
ence for good with such opposition. if
it had not a divine origin. The fact
that no has ever been led into a bad
life by reading the Bible is evidence
of its divine origin" Mr.. Errett
quoted some of the objections made
to the Bible, and said they were made
on account of fallable conditions, and
not from a study of the book itself.
He said some repudiated a part of the
Bible to be broad" and said he heard
an illustration once that appealed to
that kind of persons in particular. A
man in speaking of the Platte river,
in Nebraska, said it reminded him of
some people-it was so broad and so
shallow. The sermon tonight will
follow up the subject of the past few
nights on "The Bible" with different
text.
Dr. H. C. Eppley sang the beautiful
solo, Tell Mother I'll Be There" at
last nights service, and was appreci-
ated by all.
The public in general is invited to
be present at these services. 1t will
do you no harm, and may do you good.

Suspended for Hazina.

Six members of the sophomore class
of Wesleyan university, one OF whom
was Arthur j. Monroe of this town,
were suspended until the midyear ex-
aminations in February by President
Raymond last Friday evening. The
trouble had its beginning in the at
tempt of number of sophomores to
haze Frank B. Taylor of Cambridge,
Mass, on the night Of Dec. 16 last. On
their first attempt to enter his room,
Taylor frightened away his tormentors
with a revolver, but they returned lat
er in the evening and attempted to
break down the door. Taylor, fearing
he would be injured. picked up screw
driver and began to fight his way
through the crowd. In doing so ne

was brought to the attention of the
faculty and Fridays action resulted.
The students after learning of the sus-
pensions. held meeting at which they
drew up resolutions disapproving the
action of the faculty on the grounds
that to single out six men of the class
was unjust. there having been many
more students implicated in the haz-
