lated on publishing so notable a

WINTHROP.

Friday night was one of the dark
est nights of the year. Many peo-
pie fell off walks, land as the lid is on
here, no one has a right to laugh at
this statement.
Some one. with desire to do dew
iltry in their make up, has made
footprints in about every cement
walk built SO far in Winthrop. Up
to this writing the miscreant has
not been apprehended. Marcus Dun
lap received the gentleman's card in
his new cement walk, and would be
pleased to meet for moments con-
versation the party who did it.
Reports from the corn crop keep
coming in good or bad. Some claim
that we will have lots of good corn
and others shake their heads and
make noise like a pickle. On the
whole we should Judge that the crop
was as good as could be expected
from the season we have had
months without frost. We never
have 100 percent of crop and this
one around here will be fairly a
good one. Nothing to mourn over
or to see starvation in.

When Lord Cochrane was II candi-

suffered defeat. The latter, however,
sent the bellman round the town an
nouncing that all those who had voted
for Lord Cochrane would receive 10
guineas apiece If they called on his
agent In those prebalot days Of
course it was known how each man
voted, and the happy minority march
ed off to the agent, each getting his 10
guineas. Naturally enough, the major
ity began to think they had made u
mistake, and they resolved to rectify
that mistake at the first possible mo-
ment. In due course an opportunity
came. There WAS another election.
Lord COclrane stood again, ana the
voters, remembering his lavish meth
ods asked him no questions, but re-
turned him with roaring majority.
Then they conveyed n delicate hint to
the noble lord asking what he p.o-
posed to give them for this distinguish
ed service. Not one farthlng" roared
his lordship. The unhappy men re-
minded him that he had paid 10 gum

frightened the face of the member as
he gave this explanation. THE former

HABITS OF SPIDERS.
,"Do These Insects sleep7" Is Not an
Easy Question to Answer.

The question, do spiders sleep at
night?" is not easy to answer. have
made careful observation of the sleep
Of ants, and that could readily be done
by watching colonies in their artificial
formicaries. 1t is almost impossible
to deal with spiders in the same way
l would answer, however, in general
terms that spiders sleep, as all animals
do, and doubtless parts of the night
are spent in slumber. Many species,
however, prey on the night flying ill.,
sects, and so must be awake in order
to catch their prey. If you will watch
the porch or outbuildings Of your home
on summer evening you will be likely
to see an orb weaving spider drop
gathering dusk Of the evening. From
this beginning round web will soon
be spun, and either hanging at the
center thereof or in little rest above
and at one side is the architect, with
forefeet clasping what we call the
trap line" and waiting for some night
flying insect to strike the snare In
this position spiders will sometimes
wait for hours, and 1t is just possible
that they may then take little nap.
They might easily do that and yet not
lose their game, for the agitation of the
web would rouse the sleeper, and then
it would run down the trap line and Sc
cure its prey. Some species of spiders
do the chief part Of their hunting at
