BIG SPIDER CATCHES MICE

Instead OF killing a large black
spider which he saw in his workshop
ID. A. X. Meas OF Morristown, Tenn,
concluded to let it live and calls II MS
pet. The spider actually catches mice
and seems to possess a greater fond
ness for the small rodents than ms
kind usually have for flies.
Mr.. Meas is a broom manufacturer
Several days ago he was attracted by
the faint cries of a small animal evil
IDENTIFY in distress. Upon investigation
the diminutive sufferer proved TO be
small mouse, which had in some way
become entangled in spiders web In
one corner of the room In which Mr..
Meas was at work. Further inspection
OF the victims condition disclosed the
fact that a large black spider was
busily engaged in the task of binding
or enclosing him in a fine web oil
silken threads.
Becoming interested in the perform
ance, Mr.. Meas watched the mouse
and its struggle with the spider, and
was surprised at the ease with which
the spider seemed to be able to control
its captive. An endless strand OF
silky thread was wound around and
around the mouse until he was unable
to move. Having rendered his victim
helpless, the spider attacked the
mouse at the throat. and its struggles
were soon over.
A day or two after this first oc-
currence a second mouse was enticed
into the spiders web and in like
manner disposed of, and then a third
rodent followed his brothers to the
happy hunting grounds by the same
remarkable route.
Ordinarily a story of this kind
would be received with derision, and
it Is probable that many will be I'M
able to credit the narrative in its en-
tirety even now, but Mr.. Meas is still
entertaining the spider, who seems
quite contented with it's surroundings,
and a repetition of the three occur
rences related may be had at any
time the mouse is provided.

A shlnnlna Error.

The young Duchess of Westminster.
wife of the richest peer in England,
recently gave birth to her third child,
a daughter. Thus there is no heir to
the immense Grosvenor fortune. Earl
Grosvenor, the duchess second child,
having died at the age of four.
Apropos of all this, a rather cruel
story is being told in Newport about
Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight
year.old daughter of the young
duchess.
A friend, the story goes, called at
Eaton Hail. and as she sat in the
drawingroom, little Lady Ursula en-
tered.
"Oh, good afternoon" she said
gravely. Mamma can't see any one

baby. They sent her, you know, a girl
when she'd ordered a boy, and she's
so upset that she's quite ill.,

REMARKABLE SPRUCE HEDGE

What is admittedly the most extern
sive hedge in New Hampshire stands
in front of the residence of John r.
Hatch in the village Of Greenland, N.
H. 1t is 200 feet long. 1t is composed
of sturdy spruce trees, ranged side by
side as thickly as their growth will
permit. and which are now 30 feet
high.
This distinctive feature of one of
New Hampshire's fairest villages is 40
years old. The roadway which runs
along the Hatch premises is COM
pletely obscured from the occupants
of the house as the house is complete
ly hidden from travellers in the
highway. Greenlands spruce hedge
Is certainly the most extensive
thing of its kind which one will find
in or about the precincts of New Eng
