The Mygnlc Tnrnntnln.

The Mygalc t0rantula sometimes
spreads over six inches square, but
more Frequently four or five inches. A
shaggy coat Of hair covers the surface
OF the great spider. 1t is supplied with
six long, bony legs and two dangerous
pedipalps, or strikers, each armed with
a sharp sting and poison sac. The
strikers are frequently mistaken for
two long legs, and -fT3.N.t:.- N'ises the
idea that the creature has stings OH its
feet. Two powerful projections, re
sembling jaws, protrudc from the head.
Under each Of these is Il curved poison
fang, similar to n cats claw, but longer
(eXactly like those of II rattlesnake),
which may be lifted, extended and
hooked into the victim. \ person thus
stung or bitten must cut the tarantula
away ut once, for the spider does not
seem willing TO unlock its fangs.

A NInInN Wnter slide.

In Perak. II state In the Straits Set
Elements, the Malays nave one form of
amusement which is probably MOTTO be
enjoyed anywhere else In the wide
world.
There is n huge granite slope in the
course OF II mountain river, down which
the water trickles about two inches
deep, the main stream having carved
out Il bed Dy the side of the bowlder.
This rock, the face of which has been
rendered as smooth as glass by the con.
slant flow of water during hundreds of
years. the Malays-men, women and
childrcn-have turned into n toboggan.
Climbing to the top of the rock, they
sit in the shallow water with their feet
straight out and n hand on each side
for steering and then slide down the
sixty feet into Il pool of water.
This Is Il favorlte sport OH sunny
mornings, as many as 900 folks being
engaged at n time and sliding so quick
ly one after another or forming rows
Of two, o or even eight persons that
they tum.-S into the pool II confused
mass of screaming creatures. There is
little danger IN the game, and, though
some choose to sit on Il piece OF plan
tain, most OF the tobogganers are con
tent to squat OH their launches.

AWAKENED

Slowly the People vaken they have been,
Like weary soldiers, sleeping in their tents,
While traitors tiptoed through the silent camp
Intent on plunder. Suddenly a sound
A careless movement of too bold thief
starts one dull sleeper; then another stirs,
A third cries out a warning, and at last
The people are awake! Oh, when as one
The many rise, united and alert,
With Justice for their motto, they reflect
The mighty force of Gods Omnipotence
And nothing stands before them. Lusty
Greed,
ryrannioal corruption long in power,
And smirking cant Whose right hand iobi
and slays
so that the left may dover church and school,
Monlopy, whose mandate took from Toll
The Mother Earth, that Idleness might loll
And breed the Monster of colossal wealth
All these must fall before the gathering Force
OF public indignation, That old strife
Which marks the progress of each century,
The war of Right with Might. is on once more
And shame to him who does not take his hand.
This is the weightiest moment of all time,
And on the issues of the present hour
A nation honor and a country's peace,
Peoples future, aye, a Worlds depends.
Until the vital questions OF the day
Are solved and settled. and the spendthrift
thieves
Who rob the Golfers OF the saving poor
Are led from fashions feast to prison fare,
And taught the saving grace of honest work.
Till labor claims the privilege of toll
And toll the proceeds of its labor shares
Let no man sleep, let no man dare to sleep

IS II POSSIBLE

Can it be possible that our city
council has concluded to let the
last chance to buy gas leases go by
without turning hand to secure to
the city more gasp
If an individual with the same
interests at stake should act as the
city council does in this matter we
would say he was either in league
with the Standard Oil company. OF
a little lame in the upper story.
Wedo not ieve in buying doubt
ful leases at fancy prices that some
speculator may make a fat thing.
but we do believe it is the duty of
this council, if they care for the
future of this city, to secure some
more good gas territory for the city
while it can be had. Personally we
never want to return to the burning
of coal. AS sure as fate we will be
dependent on the Standard pipe
line for our gas in avery few years
il we do not secure more territory
or quit offering 1t to manufacturing
interests at low rate.
We want to see the factories come
and want the city to have the gas
under control to offer them an In.
ducement. Has our council not
vet got thawed out?
