WOULD FORCE CASTRO.
If He Doesn't Return His Resignation
May BE Accepted.

Washington, June 2.-General VII
cente Gomez is trying to induce Presi-
dent Castro to resume charge of the
government of Venezuela and is
threatening TO call congress together
and accept Castro's resignation at
once If he persists in declining to re-
assume the duties of president. This
information was contained in a dis
patch received by the state depart
ment today from Russell American
minister at Caracas. President Cas-
tro was elected about a year ago and
has five years to serve. His conduct
is extremely puzzling to the state de-
partment as well as to the diplomatic
corps.

LAST MANS CLUB.
Big Banquet to Be Held Tonight Aft
er a Lapse.

@~~%F~~s
Philadelphia, Pa, June 2.-After a
lapse of several years the members of
the Last Mans club, formed fifteen
years ago, chiefly among the members
of the Philadelphia club, will give one
of their famous dinners at the Hotel
Edouard tonight.
The Last Mans club was organized
with seventeen members, and it was
originally the intention of the club
to hold a dinner every Easter Mon
day, but as the membership became
scattered in the course of time this
grew more and more difficult, and sew
eral dinner dates were allowed to
lapse. At the first dinner of the clnb
massive silver candelabra with sew
enteen candles was placed upon the
table. At the base Of each candle the
name of one of the members was en-
graved, with the understanding that
upon his death, his candle should not
be lighted The last survivor of the
organization would SIT down to the
annual dinner with but one of the
candles burning. After that the cam
delabra Is to become his property. At
each of the dinners places are set for
the entire seventeen and the first
toasts are silent ones to those who
once occupied the vacant chairs.
] At the last club dinner seven years
ago the members who attended the
dinner were Alfred Biddle, Moncure

DEATH A LUXURY.
High Price of Coffirs Makes Takino
Off Expensive.


Chicago, June 2.-Coffinmakers are
fast rendering death luxury in Chi
cago and the query is being eagerly
made, whether, if prices continue to
rise, Chicago will achieve still further
fame as health resort by reason of a
marked decline in the death rate. Cof
fins are to cost 25 per cent more than
formerly, it is said, and word has al
ready gone out in New York to raise
the price to the trade. That the public
will be the ultimate sufferers is admit
ted by the dealers.
The reasons given by the manufac-
turers for advancing prices i'm the box
trade are multiple, and advance in de-
sign is the last and least important. It
Is also urged as an excuse for the
manufacture that prices of all woods
have advanced, while skilled labor IS
also. receiving more remuneration.

The last word quivered sentient on
the air, and Miss Sarah trembled with
a strange fear Of it. Her fingers found
the rough bark of the tree and chung;
she waited, hungered, for the rest, but
young Lockwood's voice broke from
the beat of verse into uneven words:
"Paola, my beautiful, 1t is our story"
1T is the story of Paola and Fran
cesca," said the girl dreamily.
"Paola and Francesca - Paola and
Francis-what does it matter? Were
thine eyes strange? Did l not know
thy voicer"
Miss Sarah, dizZied and enwrapt by
she knew not what roseate mist, saw
the white grace of Paola waver and
lean to the shadow and heard few
moments of magical silence, the whis-
per, tender, exultant:
"And in the book they read no more that
day"
Miss Sarah felt her way back to the
path with unnecessary care. If her
light footsteps had been the crash of
brasses they would not have reached
the two by the Black Prince but Miss
Sarah did not know ii. She hurried
along between the roses, catching her
breath in little gasps as she went, and
the wraiths of lost years swarmed
around her. singing her to wild, indefi-
mite regret She passed through the

that she had never known-the things

Beyond the window the garden lay
vast and wonderful beneath the moon,
to her land where life ran in strange
currents between banks of enchanted
blossoms.

THE FLOCK OF SHEEP.

We know of a progressive farmer
who makes 1t practice to ship in and
feed from 800 to 500 sheep every sum-
mer, marketing them about Christmas
time. In addition to giving him a
profit Of a dollar or more a head, he
estimates that the flock more than
pay for their keep In the service they
render in the matter of clearing his
stubble fields, fence rows and corners
of troublesome weeds, 1t being his Gus
tom to turn the sheep into the fields
before the weeds have matured their
crop Of seed. Another farmer of the
same type turned a flock of sheep into
a field which had become badly infest-
ed with plantain, with the result that
they made clean sweep. One of the
most serious problems connected with
farming as at present generally con-
Quoted Is the matter of preventing the
seeding of weeds after the titled crops
are laid by or the small grain Is cut
and thrashed. Early blowing is In a
measure preventive, but where 1t Is
possible to turn q flock Of sheep into
such fields an easy solution of the diff
ficulty is provided. Such system
means better fencing, but this Is bound
to come as an essential phase Of agri-
culture, In which better seed. better
culture, blooded stock and focks Of
sheep are bound to have part.

THE SPIDERS CRAFT.

The other day we had the privilege Of
witnessing the detailed maneuvers by
which a spider, a little fellow, put a
cricket of seven or eight times his
weight out of commission and elevated
him to point where he could feast on
him at pleasure. The cricket, hopping
around OH the floor, in some way got
his hind legs tangled in some threads
the spiders web. 1t looked at first
as though the little fellow would assist
in releasing the intruder, and thus pre-
vent a general smashup of his web.
but far from it. He proceeded at once
to attach two or three more threads to
the cricket's legs, and while one, or
even two, probably would not have
been strong enough to lift the weight
of the cricket from the floor, half doz-
en- or more threads, all elastic and ex
erting a lifting tension, proved sufii-
cient, and he was successfully lifted to
a point where he could no longer reach
the floor with his front legs When the
spider had got this advantage the fight
was better than half won. 1t was an
easy matter next to enclrcle him with
numerous threads and bind him hand
and foot so that further struggle was
impossible. When last seen the cricket
had been elevated to a distance of ten
inches from the floor and the spider
was extracting the juices from his
body at leisure. A lesson that was de-
rived from the spiders craft was the
advantage which comes from being
cool and collected. He was always SO
and calculated. every move and the eff
feet it would have. His victim. on the
other hand, while possessing much
superior weight and strength, was bad
ly scared and made very ineffective
exhibition of brute strength, which
counted for nothing when matched
with the spiders cleverness and Skill

OUT of THE
SHADOWS
By Fannie Heaslip Lea
Copyright, 1906, by RUBY Douglas

In the gentle current of Miss Sarah's
life by far the widest eddies were
Paola's love affairs. Miss Sarah had
never had a lover herself-she had al
ways been too busy taking care Of
Paola, who was the younger sister,
slim, pale creature, with vivid eyes
and head that habitually dropped a
little as though weighted by its own
melancholy.
Beside Miss Sarah's old time cour-
tesies Paola was as an orchid to
pansy, but underneath the melancholy
was a certain irresponsible deviltry,
a certain intangible witchery, that
brought the most eligible youths of the
neighborhood in suppliance to her feet
and filed Miss Sarah with unceasing
wonder and amaZement.
Whenever a new victim appeared
upon the scene Miss Sarah thrilled
with apprehension. AS he was friend
~, she approved of him; as he was
more conspicuously attentive, she
watched for him; then in gentle per-
plexity that never vanished with add
ed experience she saw him hover, ad-
vance, retreat, hover again and plunge.
When the little comedy was played
out she took UP her knitting with a
sigh of relief, opened her volume OF
Felicia Hemans at the purple book
mark and prepared TO rest before an
other siege.
Paola herself slipped from one emo
tional cataclysm to another, as the
slender moon from cloud to cloud.
They yelled her vivid calm for mo-
ment, but she always emerged I'M
fettered on the other side.
She had been wearing Francis Lock,
woods roses for month, when Miss
Sarah one night, after three gentle calls
unanswered stepped through the long
French window on to the moonlit We
randa with a crimson scarf in her hand.
The June night called for no such
guard against its close, sweet warmth
but on the subject of damp and dew
Miss Sarah was infleXible.
'Paola," she said anXiously, then,
since there was no Paola in all the

THE FARM HE WAS LOOKING FOR.
While the following instance may be
entirely fictitious, it has a moral that
should be taken to heart by thousands
of middle aged people who have some
how become inoculated with the emf
grafton fever and are bound to repeat
their pioneer experiences at time
when much of the elasticity, push and
perseverance of youth have been lost
A farmer we'll past middle age, who
had worked hard and had, with the as
sistance of an equally industrious wife,
accumulated nice competence and
who owned the old home farm free
from debt, grew restless as result Of
reading too many alluring real estate
advertisements and after talking 1t
over with his wife decided that they
would list the farm for sale with the
local real estate agent. Accordingly
they had him come and look the farm
over with a view to bringing out its
strong points in an attractive adver-
tisement. When the catalogue of the
farms merits was completed, includ-
ing its fertile SOIL unfailing supply of
pure water, comfortable house, COM
modious barn and outbuildings, abun-
dant shade and fruitful orchard, the
owner leaned back in his chair, raised
his spectacles and asked the agent to
read the advertisement over, that he
and his wife might know how 1t sound
ed When the reading was done the
old man was lost in thought for min
ute and then said, WAL, Martha,
that's Jest the kind of farm we've
been looking for all these years, and l
guess we'd better stay right here and
save the expense of moving" The de.
cision this farmer made was a wise
one, and his example could be follow
ed with profit by hundreds who get
the moving fever and yet who would
in nine cases out Of ten be more con-
tented in the old home than in any
they might make in q strange land.
