The PRESIDENT AND TLlmAH

Senator Tillman's attack on the
President Saturday will again start |
the country TO talking about the re !
lations between the South Carolin- !,
ian and chief magistrate. They
have not spoken since some time in
February of 1902. 1t has, there
fore, been nearly five years since
MIR. Tillman has visited the White
House. They held communication
lastspring through the medium of
their mutual friend, former Sena.
tor William E. Chandler. Mr..
Tillman was then nominally the
leader of railroad rate legislation in
the senate, and was supporting
Loyalty the Presidents original
contention. Mr.. Roosevelt used
then to speak of Mr.. Tillman as "a
bully fellow" and frequently init
mated desire for the South Caro-
linian to call at the White House.
Bnt the South Carolinian never
called. His feelings were too deeply
hurt when the President, FIVE years
ago, cancelled an invitation to a
White House dinner. The senator
has never since spoken TO the Pres
ident. That they respect each
other, however, Is evidenced by
the utterances of both. But there
is scarcely any likelihood that Mr.
ITillman will go to the White House
as long as Mr.. Roosevelt is it's
occupant. He receives invitations
to the Presidents public recep,
tions, as do all the other members
of congress, and his name is print
ed in the list of the guests bidder
to these affairs, but neither he MOI
members of his family ever re
(spond in any way to their invita-
tions.

spiders Sensitive to Color.

a student at the University of Penn
sylvania proved the other day that spi'
ders are not color blind. Into box he
put male and female. The male i'm
mediately began to dance before the
female with great vigor and abandon,
for it is by dancing always that court.
ship among spiders is conducted.
Now the female was removed and
dipped into little pot of bright blue
dye. Then she was returned to the
male strange looking thing in hue, to
be sure; only, if spiders are color blind,
as many persons claim, she would not
have seemed at all strange looking to
her mate. He regarded her for a mo-
ment closely. Then he turned away.
He would not look at her. He was per-
fectly Indifferent.
The female was then removed and
cleaned Of the dye, and the male on her
return became as ardent as before. It
was most amusing now to see him
dance before her till he fell on his side
with fatigue. Chicago Record Herald.
