plucked a flower and commenced to
strip the petals to see If her fiance
loved her truly. OF sudden a little
god appeared before her and assured
her that her fiance loved her passion

ed, as many years as the flower which
I will let you choose has petals. With
these words he disappeared. The
young girl fastened to search the gar
den for a flower which should have an
abundance of petals, but each one ap-
peared to promise but a brief future
for her beloved.
At length she picked up a Persian

NO OCCASION FOR DISPUTE.

There Is no reason why there should be any controversy between Dr. Cook and Commander Peary over the find ing of the pole. The honors are even The mere fact that pr. Cook was there a year before Commander Peary was did not cause the latter to suffer one fered if pr. Cook hadn't gone ahead of him pr. Cook did not smooth the way for others to follow. He left no beaten path. The world cares little
 That is quite true. Of course the strictly personal friends and followers of each man would rejoice to know that their favorite was first at the stopping place that has been so long and so diligently sought, but that was impossible. When 1t is finally settled beyond dispute as to the date that each reached the Pole-assuming that they did reach it-there should be no jealousy or hard feelings about It. If Dr. Cook had laid out way, and had marked it so plainly that 1t could easi- ly have been followed. and if Lieuten- ant Peary had followed that route, he would have been entitled to no credit as a discoverer. He could have well been commended for undertaking a perilous and venturesome trip. but that would be a1l-the praise due to brave man would have been his, even though he had followed a beaten path, and had reached a point already designated.
 But there was nothing of the sort, as we now know. Peary had no means of knowing that another had already found the Pole. or that he was seek ing it by an entirely different route from the one he was following. If he knew that Dr. Cook was also on the hunt he had no knowledge of his route after beth bal left civilization behind them. And SO it 1

MONTGOMERY COUNTY MAN vIO-
 LATES THE LAW,

A friend of The Advertiser, a mer- writes that he is concerned over the possible though innocent violation of the ''Fullerlicker Bill" and he does not know what to do about 1t.
 'It has been my custom and that of my family as long as can remember to make wine of scuppernong. each year, strictly for the family use." he writes. "A short time ago I had the only old family servant who has made this wine for many years to make five gallons. Is it possible that T have vio- lated the law. if so what must I do with my wine?"
 Under a strict construction of the act this gentleman and the old fam fly servant have violated the law al- though it was unconsciously done. Still the law as 1t was handed down by the last Legislature has been vio- lated. But he should keep the wine. As long as the peace officers have their hands full of blind tiger" busi- ness. they will hardly enter the homes of law abiding citizens looking for scuppernong wine.
 The gentleman's attention is called ro Section of the proposed amend ment which authorizes, the Legislature to say where intoxicating liquors can be stored. If the amendment is adopt "d. the next Legislature, should it be ss fanaticai as the last. might declare that no sort of wines or liquors could he kept in the home and the officers would have the right of search and seizure in the home.
 This would be consistent with the fanatical abuse of the law making power. under which the man who makes scupDernong wine for his fami- ly violates the law. |

Our Friends the Spiders. :.

SOlllSI W Cchly'
 I think 1t can be said that there never has been one absolutely authen- tic case of spider bite. The so-called spider bites received occasionally, and generally In early summer, often in bed, are inflicted by certain blood sucking insects of several species. large and small. The mandibles of the average-sized spiders are hardly pow erful enough to pierce the human skin, and all of the poison contained In an arachnid's glands. injected into the flesh of a human being will not make as much fuss as a respectable bee sting. Moreover, spiders are not mammal blood-suckers. and wouldn't bite If they could. So much for the negative qualities of spiders.
 If 1t were not for the spiders we should all promptly starve to death Perhaps this Is a little startling: 1t Is none the less true. To enlarge upon it, certain spiders prey upon certain caterpillars. regularly inhabtt their abodes. and kill so many of them that often whole colonies of the insects are wiped out of existence. These cater pillars normally feed upon the leaves of trees bushes, and shrubs, frequently entirely denuding plant If they were plentiful enough to exhaust the'r common food they would turn to the weeds and grasses. Without check of any kind they would overrun the earth and destroy every green and growing thing. The spiders beautifully preserve the balance of nature.

PROPOSED NEW CALENDAR.
Divides the Year Into Thirteen Months,
 Each Having 2S Days.

Scientific American.
 We have received from San Francis co a copy of a proposed calendar whose aim Is to avoid the acknowledged draw backs of the Gregorian calendar by substituting one that Is better suited to the requirements of our day-by-day life. Although the Gregorian calendar dateh from the year 1882, long before that many and various improvements dividing the S65 days of the year into weeks and months. Our correspon- dents ask: Are we not again far enough advanced beyond the times ot 1882 to adopt certain other changes?" And they offer calendar which di- vides the hfty-two weeks of the year Into thirteen months. each having ex- January and the first of every one of the twelve succeeding months fall on 8 Sunday, and the 2Sth or last day of each month. therefore. falls on Sat urday. The obvious advantage of this arranEemept is that, since each day of the week must be one of four numb mbers out of the .2Sth Sunday for any month or 22d; Tuesday either the 3rd. 10th, l7th or 24th. etc), if one knows the day of the week, 1t Is possible to And the day of the tn m0at eaenasF ana

December 2a. Leap year Is provided for by an extra day between Saturday, Vincent IA. and Sunday, Vincent IS. This would he known as "Mid-Anno Day" and 1t would be treated in all respects simi- lRrIy to Anno Day.
 Although there can be no question of the simplicity and convenience of the proposed calendar, in respect to any prospect of its immediate and world wide adoption we fear it must be classed with those two other great de. sirah'"A. the metric system" and the "longer daylight day" We are moi more firmly convinced of the advant- ages of this and those propositions fol sinpIifying and rendering easier ana more pleasant the round of daily lifs and it's duties than we are that tS
