Spiders TO Spin Rope.

A recent news telegram from Dan
vile, Ky, says:
Impressed by the great cost af
producing hemp. Assessor r. D.Bruce
has set on foot a plan TO replace the
industry by the use of giant African
spiders. Mr.. Bruce is now in the
south, completing arrangements for a
spider hatchery. 1t is stated, and will
organize "A stock company to further
the project.
According to Mr.. Bruce, the dark
continent produces a certain kind of
spider. which at maturity is the size
of a Maltese cat and weaves a web
as large as broom twine and as
strong. These, he says, are easily
domesticated and are fairly intelligent
For years the natives have utilized
the webs for fishing seins. He says
that one African mogul, in response
TO letter, writes that the spi-
ders can be profitably produced by
means of incubators. Mr.. Bruce be-
lieves the raising of hemp will be en-
tirely supplanted."

RooSevelt's Sure Thing Failed,

President Roosevelt is a better hum
ter now than he was some twenty
years ago when he first went look
ing for the deer in Maine under the
guidance of Bill" Sewall. On that
occasion he and his guide camped
at a place where deer were album
dant. Just before dusk Sewall plac-
ed him at a corner where he could
watch the runaways. when yoG sec
the deer you let drive said the
guide. In a few minutes a fine buck
came trotting toward the ambush. I'm
able to restrain his joy, young Roose-
welt turned and whispered: dc you
know, this is the first deer have ev-
er shot" Then he turned to let
drive" but the buck, whose keen ears
caught the whisper, had jumped side
ways and disappeared. What Sewall
thought and what Roosevelt said for
the next five minutes would make
what Horace Greeley used to call
mighty interesting reading"

and the engine screaming warning
which could be heard for miles
around. a heavy coal train of twenty
two cars dashed down the Prackville
grade on the Broad mountain, on the
Reading tracks, recently, at the rate
of seventy-five miles an hour. FOR
tunately, there was nothing on the
road to interfere with its run, and be-
low st. Clair, that the train could be
brought to stop.
The train ran four miles down the
mountain beyond control. Around
curves it sped with the speed OF the
fastest express, the engineer and flre-
man clinging to the engine, while the
members of the crew were Hat on
their stomachs, hanging on desperate
" and waiting for the end. There was
no use in jumping. for that meant
certain death, so the only hope was
that the engine and cars might keep
the track. This they did, and word
was telegraphed down the grade to
have everything kept out of the way
of the runaway.
When st. Clair was reached the
brakes began to take hold, and at Dor
mers the train finally came to a
halt.

CARNES' DISCRED-
IBLE CHAPTER
In Kentucky History Consists
In Saving HargiS.
All Seemed to be a Prearrang
ed Affair With Governor
BeCkham.

| OnueT lue HtdOllutS VI lHc
gis Coup" the Courier-Journal says:
The part which Judge "Bill' Carnes
has played in the Hargis affair is on
| ly another flagrantly discreditable
chapter among the other discreditable
chapters which make the history of
Hargis gang in its relations to the
courts ever since the beginning of an
active effort to bring to justice the
mprderers of Cox and Marcum.
Carnes' qualifications for the bench
when he was appointed a special judge
by the Governor seems to have con-
sisted in his willingness TO do chores
for the Governor in the latter's polit-
has a consistent record of giving his
appointments TO men whom he can
count on still to do his chores his dis
covery of judicial timber in Carnes is
not wholly inexplicable.
At any rate, Judge Carnes, by his
course in the Hargis case, which he
done everything to indicate that his
conception of his duty was TO prove
his respect for the alliance which has
long been known to exist between the
ambitious politician who sits in the
Governors chair and the useful poll
tician who bosses the Tenth district.
At every step Carnes appears to
have realized, in his primitive, callow
way, what is expected of a special
Judge in this special case. Indeed,
in his primitiveness and callowneSs he
far over-shot the mark. His rulings,
when the case was called last winter,
were so palpably, aggressively, uni
formly and determinedly in favor of
Hargis that he was not only called
down by the Court of Appeals, but
he drew upon himself the scrutiny
of the whole State and aroused among
the partisans of the prosecution such
Indignation that he would not go back
to Jackson without bodyguard of
troops.
Thus protected he reascended the
bench with his program in his pocket.
And it was in carrying through this
program that the Hargis crowd scor-
ed their great coup. Hargis. though
ordinarily turning his back on the
press, was free in informing the press
that he would not agree to a change
of venue; that he preferred 70 be
tried among his own people," his
attorneys refused every suggestion
of a change made by the prosecution;
and when Judge Carnes, in ostensi-
BILE response to the demand through
out the State that the case should not
be tried in Breathitt, announced that
it should be tried in Elliott, a county
which Hargis is stronger in some re-
spects than he is in Breathitt, the
defendants attorneys gave the trick
away by holly resisting the attempt of
the prosecution to have the trial take
place even in Breathitt rather than
in Elliott.
1t was shrewdly played up to that
point, but at that point it was clum-
silly uncovered, just as most af the
Hargis tricks are sooner or later un-
covered.
Still Carnes has served his purpose;
IIargis has his way and the State is
10 nearer than ever a trial OF this
case strictly on its merits, before an
impartial jury.
1t is a shame upon Kentuckians; a
shame to all Kentuckians who honor
their State and are wont to claim
honor because of their State.

T GUESS" AND CALCULATE"
Expressions Are Good English and No,
 at All American.

The accepted manner of defining Americans. either male or female. in the London comic papers or in second. rate English novels is to lard their speech plentifully with calculate" and guess" and with "well'' at the open. ing of each sentence. This mode of marking. or any other. is in itself totally unimportant, but linguistically 1t is not without interest, for while 1t is purely conventional as now used and has no relation to any American habits of the present day. whether good or bad. it is pleasant to note that the hard-worked lnsular humorist need not have gone SO far aheld to find the words necessary for the Identification of Americans. They really had but to turn to the New Letters" of Thomas Carlyle (volume 1. page i7s) and there read the following sentence: He has brought you a Fox's book of Martyrs. which I calculate will go in the parcel today; you will get right good read. Ing out of IL I guess"-scribner.

SIMPLICITY IN HOME

over-EIaboratIon In Any Form is Al. ways . Mlstake--Prcper Way to
 Hang Pictures, Curtains and
 @e DraperIes. N


 Although. the majority of home builders and home-makers are tend ing toward simplicity and good taste fin house decorations. one still sees in a great many homes heavy stuffed draperies. inartistic furniture and poor taste in pictures and other decora- tions. sr.
 A merciless elimination should be the first step toward decorating a room in good taste; perhaps the room should be cleared absolutely. Then the solid color backgrounds should be arranged next, the effects striven for being extremely plain in floor, wall and ceiling. selecting light and har. monious tones. Drape the windows so as to exclude as little light as pos sible. and then begin to carefully dec crate the agreeable fiat surfaces, one of the main ideas of the new straight line style being to keep the surfaces flat. Not only should all the pictures be decorative in line and coloring themselves, but they should be framed with extreme simplicity in narrow wood molding. some frames rectangu- lar, some few round or oval, to give sense of diversity in line. They should be hung perfectly fiat against the wall, suspended from the molding by one thin wire of as near as pos sible the color of the wall paper.
 :. Curtains and other draperies should always be hung in straight lines, and

TURNED UP"

Turned Up," a comedy of Eng fish life, by Mark Medford, Is being played by Poli's own stock company at the Jacques this week, and the initial performances of the piece were greeted warmly by good sized audiences. There is a whole lot of the most amusing situations in the piece and at times the play borders on broad farce which makes 1t all the more .laughable. The company does excellent work with the con- edy Richard Gordon plays George Medway, the young Englishman, whose road to matrimony is a hard one to travel. Miss Edna Bruns plays his sister, and Miss May Abbey is seen as Ada Baltic: Miss Janc Tree plays the role of Mrs Pannall, the housekeeper of George. and his friend, Nod Steddam, part played by Foster Mackett. Phil Bishop is seen as funny MT Bones. The other members of the cast have suitable parts. Souvenirs Friday afternoon. Popular prices.

The Thanksgiviug ball given last night by the ladies of the Kegoayah Kozga is facie princeps of all the events which have taken place in Nome during the present season.
 While being first in rank it may also be termed first in time. for it really opened the season.
 The arrangements were as near per- fectiou as possible and the large crowd felt perfectly at home and enjoyed to th" utmost the splendid opportunity.
 The dresses of the ladies added inn menscly to the hririmcy of the occa- sion, and the evening will remain long in the memory of those who had the good fortune to be present.
 The supper Which Was served by Mrs. Altimus was excellent and the whole affair was not only social success. but financial success as well.
