Keep Them In the House and You viii
Have No Reaches.
1T is too bad so many people are
prejudiced against spiders" said the
man who always finds out curious
things. "If they could stand it to
have spiders around. they would soon
get rid Of cockrpaches. In the spider
the cockroach, has an enemy that pur-
sues him with more malevolence than
does thescleRnly3 housewife. And not
only is thisihatred. more deep rooted: it
is more deadly. Jan things considered,
the coclzroach shows mighty little re-
spect for the human race lie knows
that, although he is small, he is chock
full Of inventive genius, and he laugh
fngly scorns the futile ATTEMPTS of men
and women to circumvent and destroy
him.
$50 long has he been battling for
life against paris green. fly paper hot
water and wire caaSs that he has
learned to saunter through green lanes
of poison and wade rivers of glue
without so much as soiling his toes,
and whenlit comes to the scalding bath
he swims blithely,out and wriggles his
whiskers in derisien at his would be
slayers. But, he dares not treat the
spider with such disdain. In fact, he
doesn't have a chance. for the spider
outdoes even the cockroach in cunning
and nabs him without the least eere-
mOny.
"Still it would be hardly advisable
to recommend raising a crop of spiders
as a sure preventive Of cockroaches,
for in most peoples minds the exter-
minator is more Objectionable than his
victim" Plain Dealer.

and Air With Harsh
Words

To-day the streets are filled with
the festive moving wagon. and on every
hand may be seen the belongings Of
householders who are engaged IN the
annual "hiiting" from one place OF

is no one regarded with more sincere
envy than the man who did not have
to make a change
Singularly enough. there are many
families homeless. due to the fact that
they have neglected, to engage a house
before the expiration Of their leases,
and they are now obliged to place their
goods I'm storage or move out Of town.
BY this midnight the changes VIII have
been nearly completed. and then will
begin the fun Of laying carpets. armng-
ing furniture and hunting for friends
who have removed without letting 1t be
known where they have gone. Letter
carriers and others viii have all kinds
Of trouble for some time to come while
insurance collectors and other men en-
gagged in making weekly calls win have
no end OF difficulty until the new To-
cations Of their customers are ascer-
