Will do all the tricks commonly dc ne

etc, the Ohio penitentiary boasts tn.
other interesting pet. He arrived re-
Gently from the sunny south in a
bunch of bananas and is a great tar.
antula, which looked so ferocious they
put him in solitary confinement on
sight, although no misdemeanors can
be proved against him. When stand
ing with his legs spread out he just
fills the bottom of the pint milk bottle
in which he slept last night. A hole
was cut in the cover for air and Mex
leo Pete, as the guards have named
him, did very well last night, but will
require larger quarters when he de-
sires to exercise.
His chief amusement was tying into
bundles the numerous flies which by
some odd song or perfume were at
tracted into his bottle. Those he
couldn't eat he spun a chain around
and laid by for future provisions. Pete
Is dark red and very hairy-for his
covering is too long and coarse to be
simply "fuzzy"-and although he has
ten legs, like any tarantula, his body
is larger. and he has head some.
thing like turtles. He is also blessed
with a ravenous appetite and his
mouth could be plainly seen opening
and closing last night, already in an.
ticipation Of his morning breakfast of
bananas.

Mr.. Maeeueen as a Minister.

The Rev. Peter MacQueen tells this
story on himself: 1t seems that ME
Murphy, the famous temperance ora
tor. made one of his great speeches III
the West Somerville Congregational
church some years ago. At the close
of the service one of Mr.. NsQueen's
laris:ioners, worthy Scot addicted
10 strong liquors, came up to sign
the temperance pledge.
Mr.. Murphy talked to the Scotch.
man and asked him II Mr.. Mcqueen
was not a brother Scot. What kind
Of a minister is Mr. NacQueen?"
sad Murphy to the converted tlppler
He's foin mon, that Mister Mac
Queen; grawn meenlster that:
there's name O. this dom'd releegion

man.

Vanderbilt Gives Up Farmina.

George ". Vanderbilt: is to give up
farming at Biltmore, N. c.. and is go
ing to let somebody else do It for
him. He has believed all along tha,
Ills venture could be made to pay
expenses, or nearly so. but has been
disappointed. He considers that his
experiment OF ten years justifes him
ir changing his mind about the money
there Is to be made in farming. Mr.
Vanderbilt has made the Biltmore
farms among the most famous in the
country. They consist of general
truck farms. dairy. a creamery. a
chicken aGd duck farm, live stock
kennels. and hothouses. He has ex
pended large fortune for the
privilege Of being farmer.
The statesman., 1905-10-20
Consistency.

Herbert McFadden, at the funeral
directors annual convention in Phila.
delphia, declared consistency to be an
overrated virtue.
Because" he said. we held the
French method Of embalming 70 be the
best ten years ago, must We, for con-
sistcncy's sake, stick to the French
mcthcd now, when we know that the
American method in every way sur.
passes 1t?
These upholders Of consistency
would go as far as the widow who
wanted 10 have her husband ere.
mated.
she took the corpse to tho ere
p,atory, and the manager Of the place
said to her:
