A Misnnnri alan storr.

While at the ice pond fishing a few
days ago w. r. Sweeney noticed a large
spider on a leaf at the edge of the water
that seemed to be fishing also. The spider
would put one leg In the water. shake IL
a little bit and then walt. By and by a
minnow came to the top and grabbed the
spiders foot.
This seemed to be what it was waiting
for and without a minutes hesitation IT
sprang onto the minnow, being carried
under the water several times, but never
releasing it's hold on the fish until 1t ceased
TO struggle and was dead, when the spider
hauled It's prey ashore TO be devoured at
leisure. In trying to land the struggling
minnow the spider would lay hold OF a
leaf or weed on the shore and hang there
with a deathlike grip, and at last landed
his catch in that way-Keytesville Courier.

The tortilla is the ancient Indian

smaller stone which they hold in their
hands.
The operation looks very much like
rubbing clothes on a washboard and
is a laborious and tedious one. The
lime renders the corn dough adhesive,
like wheat flour dough, and it is easily
patted between the hands into cakes

fresh tortillas are exceedingly palat-
able.

frijoles-ordinary beans. They are

Prospective Juryman's Assertion That

Easy to Believe.

On recent jury day in the First

the Justice ordered the man to raise
his right hand and administered the
oath.

"This paper" continued the court,

man from jury duty on the ground
that he is dead Now, remember that
you have sworn to tell the truth, and
think well before you answer: Are
you dead?'

You claim that you are alive"

back to the commissioner of jurors.
The man did so. When the com
missioner examined the certificate /

Justices handwriting "The deceased

CULTIVATING THE CORN CROP

Do not wait for the corn to get

the soil for the tender plant when it
comes through.
Then the weeders and cultivators
should be kept going from this time
until the corn is too big TO be Guilt
waited with safety If the season is
dry more cultivation is necessary, be
cause it has been demonstrated that
the average rainfall is not sufficient
to grow a full crop OF corn without
keeping the moisture under the sur
face, and the Importance of thorough
cultivation in dry seasons is therefore
apparent
The first cultivation may be deep
