Peculiar Properties Of . Spider, .

Grain and q Vine.
What is the most terrible form In
which death comes? Here are three.
but which one Of them Is the worst 1t
is hard to say:
In Peru and parts Of South Australia
there Is found a small spider about
half as big as pea. When this insect
digs Its fangs into Its victim 1t inserts
a poison which begins at once to act
It scorches up the blood vessels and
spreads through the tissue. causing
most dreadful agony. The worst part
Of It ia that the victim usually suffers
for two days, but death In the end Is
inevitable.
Another fearful death results from
eating "bhat," a vegetable which
grows in the east Of which few
grains cause violent mania. ending in
death. "Bhat' occasionally grows in
among the rice crop. from which It is
hard to distinguish until dry. when the
poisonous grain Is OF brick red color.
There IL South American vine call

ing thing coming In contact with It.

DRY LANDS BILL PASSED.
Idaho Not Inluded in Act as Submitted
to the House.

Theldry homestead bill passed the
senate Wednesday with Idaho omitted.
The conferees having eliminated Idaho
in order to get the bill through the
senate it is quite improbable that the
house will restore Idaho to the bill i.
Senator Hepburn was not preeent when
the bill passed the senate.
Senator Borah said he could not SUP
port the bill as the conference com
mittee refused to restore the words
"arid and semi-arid," which had been
inserted on his motion. Without these
words in the bill Senator Borah con-
tended that the best agricultural land
remaining vacant in Idaho could be
taken up in 500 tracts. This land is
nOn-irrigable, but is not arid or SEM
arid for it is largely in north Idaho
where there is abundant rain. Senator
Borah does not believe it wise to throw
this valuable land open to entry in
such large tracts and for that reason he
declined to support the bill. Had his
amendment been restored to the bill
he would have insisted upon Idaho be-
ing included.
Senator Smoot received kilograms
from $50 residents of Idaho asking hat
their state be included in the dry farm

The boy ducked and the book sailed
out Of the window. After 1t hurried
the mental. but he was too late; a
passerby had picked 1t up and walked
off with 1t. Stedman began to wonder
what book he had thrown away and
to his horror discovered that 1t was a
quaint and rare little volume for which
he had paid $50. His chagrin was in
tense. as the work was almost unique
and the prospects of replacing it were
remote.
Some time afterward when browsing
in a second hand bookshop our sple-
netic poet-banker perceived to his great
delight a copy Of the very book he had
lost He asked the price. Its very
rare" replied the dealer, "but as you
are an old customer I'll let you have 1t
for $40. Nobody else could have 1t
for less than $6O." Stedman gladly
paid the $40. got home with his treas

fellows" or dislike to refuse the re-
quest OF friend.
A search OF the records of the Coun-
ty Court of: Twin Falls county shows
that from March Is, 1907 to March Is,
1908 period Of one year. there were
five tiduclary bonds filed with an ag
gregate liability of $4,000. Those
bonds were filed by four administrators
and executors and by one person act
ing as guardian. OF this number of
bonds one was executed by su,ity
company with liability of $4,000,
while citizens of Twin Falls county as
sumed the remaining liability Of
s9'6OO there are, therefore, about 10
persons in Twin Falls county assuming
liability of $4,000 or an average risk
to each person of almost $1,000. This
might seriously Inconvenience, If not
embarass, those who have assumed
the risk, if loss should occur.
Business men throughout the country
measure mans resources by deduct
ing from his assets his liability on
bonds, and the custom is growing rap
idly each year for person appointed OF
elected to a position in which surety is
required to purchase his bond from a
surety company, the same as he would
purchase fire or life insurance from 6
company organized for that purpose
aud thus AVOID becoming obligated tc
his friends.
