TO THE .PRoHIBITIoNisTs (


From the field and in the midst OF
the most comprehensive campaign in
which your committee ever engaged
I send you a greeting of cheer, born
of the union of faith and results. For
ten days we (Oliver w. Stewart and
the writer) have been campaigning on
the iron range, country where the
saloon f1ourishes, where foreigners,
unacquainted with our ways predomi-
nate, and where our churches and phil
anthropic organizations consider the
field as missionary territory. TO the
Prohibition party this country has
been desert. We had hoped for but
small audiences, small results in or
ganization and money and large
chunks of solid stolid Indifference.
But we have been greeted with good
audiences at nearly every point; there
has been keen, alert interest in our
proposition to capture the Legislature
and prompt and hearty response to
our call for volunteers for work and
for contributions to the financial sup
port of the committee. We have ad-
dressed 1415 people,, effected more
or less complete organization at twelve

Train Robbed.

Mammoth Springs, March L. A Frisco passenger train, bound for Memphis was held up twelve miles south of here between Fie- Ringer and Hardy at , o'clock this morning by two masked men, who are supposed to have boarded the train at Thayer, Mo-, few miles north of here.
 None of the passengers were molested and 1t was evident that the bandits had designs only on the safe in the express car. They entered the car and quickly open ed the safe, securing the contents. The express messenger was kept covered with revolvers during the protecting.
 After taking what the safe contained the bandits appeared satisfied. Pulling the bell cord they left the train as 1t slowed up at a point about three miles west of Hardy.
 So quietly did the robbery oe- that none ot the passengers knew of 1t and the train crew were sur prised when the train siackened speed near Hardy.
 It Is thought the robbers made their escape back into Missouri. No reliable information can be obtained here as to the extent of the booty they secured, but 1t Is believed to be small.

They are Watching.

When We see the boys on the streets and public places, We of- ten wonder If they know that the business men are watching them. In every bank, store and otflce there will soon be a place for a boy to fill. They who have the arrangement of business houses will select one Of the boys. They will not select him for his ability to sweep, smoke cigarettes, or tap a beer keg. Business men are looking for boys who are as near gentlemen in every sense of the word as they can find, and they are able to give the eharact- er of everybody in the city. They are not looking for rowdies. When boy applies for one those places and is refused, they may not tell him the reason why they do not want him, but the boy can depend upon it that he's been rated according to his behavior. Boys cannot afford to adopt the habit and conversation of the loafers and rowdies. if they want to be called to a responsible po- sition.
 Our boys everywhere are facing the stubborn fact that to be ready when they are needed they must be ready beforehand.-Ex.

THE DANCE IN SPAIN.
IL Is an Essential Part of the Life of
 the People.

the People.
 Dancing is universal instinct with Spanish women. The great annual feria at Seville is largely an orgy of dancing. As evening approaches everywhere one begins to hear the sound of castanets and to see the gracious movements of the seguidilla. the universal Andalu- sian dance.
 But the fundamental instincts of the Spaniard for dancing and the serious and profound way in which it express es the temperament of the people are perhaps shown by nothing else so much as by the existence of religious dancing in Spain. At the time Of St. Thomas of Filaneuva, bishop of Va lencia. it was customary to dance be fore the sacred clements in the church es of Seville. Toledo. Jerez and Valen- cia Religious dancing continued to be common in Catalonia and in Roussillon (the most Spanish of the French prov incesI up 10 the seventeenth century.
 But real and unique survival of re- ligious dancing is the dance of the seises in Seville cathedral, when the choristers. wearing the same costume as they were 100 years ago. perform dance to the accompaniment of casta- nets in the space between the high al tar and the choir
 Dancing is something more than an amusement in Spain. It is part of that solemn ritual which enters into the whole life of the people.-Twentieth Century Home.

A SCHOOL FOR SPIDERS.
The Insects Taught 10 Weave Their
 Webs only on Bottles.

This is my spiders school. said the young woman, and with a little stick she brushed few webs from the wall. Not much to look at is it? Only a dozen rows of wine bottles, great many spiders and a great many webs, make nevertheless little money out of the school.
 Spiders webs are i'll demand among surgeons and among the makers of cer tain astronomical instruments, the sur geons using them to stop hemorrhages with and the instrument makers using them in certain very delicate instru- ments-instruments wherein, strange to say. d human hair would not take their place, because hair is neither fine enough nor durable enough to serve the required purpose.
 Besides selling the webs l also sell the spiders corrupt class of wine dealers buy the spiders. These men put them among bottles of new wine train the spiders to weave on bottles only-l tear down webs woven any where else-and it is amazing how quickly these well sehooled pupils of mine will cover ease of port or claret with cobwebs. giving to the wine an appearance of great age.

Dear Sir: Here's something every painter and builder ought to know. Mir. J J. Hall. Sheffield, Pa, paint ed two houses, years ago, lead and- oil: took 40 gallons. Last year he painted Deyoe: bought 10 gallons; had ten left.
 He is one of thousands. The knowl- edge is getting about pretty general ly that Devee goes further than any thing else.
 Have you found it out in your own experience2
 How much further?
 Suppose job amounts to 10000 square feet: how much less Deyoe could you buy:
 Is 1t easy to paint: Does it cost any more or less to put-on by the gal lon than anything else$ How much: fit costs no more to put-on Devoe ny the gallon, it costs less by the foot, you know: for the gallon does more feet: How much less. do you ind It for wages:
 Lasts: say twice as long: that is the owners gain: but perhaps you reckon 1t yours: some do. The time " hen that comes-in. is when he gives out the next job.
 Who gets it:

Tree That Turns to Stone.

There is tree that grows in Mexico called the chiiol, or stone tree. It is of enormous proportions, both in cir conference and height. It has num- Der of branches spreading out widely and carrying leaves of a yeIlowish green color The wood is extremely fine and easily worked in green state. IL is not given to either warping or splitting The most remarkable thing about it is that after being cut the wood gets gradually harder. and in the course of few years 1t is absolutely petrifed whether left i'll the open air or buried in the ground From this timber houses can be built that would in few years become completely fire proof and would last as long as though built of stone.

SEWING COTTON.
The Humble Origin of the Great
 Thread Industry.


 The origin of sewing cotton was told at cotton manufacturers meeting by the head Of the great thread house of Paisley, Scotland IL was discovered in 1903 by his grandfather, who had little business in Paisley, making silk twine for heddleS. which were used by every weaver The silk came from Hamburg, and in 1903 Napoleon caused the stock held there 10 be burned in or der 10 hamper British trade. The weav- CTS were in despair, but James Clark conceived the idea that cotton yarns could be twisted together to form the twines.
 The experiment succeeded, and from this grew the idea that cotton could be substituted for flax in the manufacture of sewing thread and would not be so coarse and harsh. He began the manu- facture of the thread in q very small way. It was at first put up in skeins and had to be wound into little balls by the purchaser, and then MT. Clark in- vented the modern spools He had them made by wood turner. half a gross at a time. They cost him sixpence doz- en, and he charged the purchaser of the thread a halfpenny for the spool. which however, was refunded when the spool was returned. The ladies of Paisley used to come to his shop with their spools and wait while he wound the thread on them. From this small beginning grew great industry.
