Tho HuskIno Bee In Maine.

One Of the old rural institutions.
which is still in vogue in spite Of the
progress Of modern inventions. is the
old-fashioned husking bee. says the
Kennebec Journal. The Journals cor
respondents from various sections Of
the state have been giving interesting
accounts for the past two weeks Of
gatherings of this nature In their 10.
cality with the accompanying harvest
supper, which seem to differ in but
few points from those recorded in
the pages Of New England story writ
ers of rs and so years ago. About the
only difference seems to be that the
modern farmer can call all his guests
together by telephone instead Of wait
ing for slower methods Of summoning
them to bring results.

SAoAClTY OF THE SPIDER
Experiment Made BY Naturalist Proves
That Insect Has Almost Pow
ere Of Reason.

BY way OF testing tho intelligence
or sagacity Of . spider q naturalist
tried q rather novel experiment re-
Gently. He took . large spider from
his web under the basement Of .
mill. put him on . chip Of wood. and
set him afloat upon the quiet waters
of the pond. The spider walked all
about the sides Of this bark. survey.
ing the situation carefully. and when
the fact that he was really afloat and
about . yard from shore seemed to
Be fully oomprehended. he looked
out for the nearest land. This point
fairly settled upon. he Immediately
began to cast web for It. He threw
the web. a. far ~ possible In the air
and with the wind. It soon reached
the shore and made fast to tho spires
Of grass. Then he turned himself
about. and in true sailor fashion b.
gan to haul in his cable hand over
hand. Carefully he drew upon It un.
til his bark began to move towards
shore. As It moved faster the faster
he drew upon his hawser to keep It
taut and from touching the water.
Quickly he reached shore. and. leap
ing to terra nrma, sped away home
ward. Thinking he might be q
special expert in that line of boat
manship. to the rest Of his compan-
ions. the naturalist tried several spi.
ders. They all came to shore in like
manner.

DEMOCRATS ARE PLAYING
POLITICS ON WOOL
By Cutting Down The Tariff Here
to-fore Levied On That Pro
duct OF The Farm.

More than half million workers in
the United States are engaged in vari-
GUS branches of the wool industry
and dependent upon it for a living.
The Democratic majority in the House
has introduced a bill proposing deep
cut in the protective duty on wool, and
indicating at the same time that this
heavy reduction is but start toward
free admission. Incorporated in the
report of the Democratic Ways and
Means Committee is the statement that
the bill submitted is not to be construed
as an abandonment of any Democratic
policy" which is evidently free-tra
proviso. On looking the country over
no proof appears that American wool
growers or weavers are making un.
usual or exceptional profits. Nor are
manufactures of wool hourishing be-
You'd the average. But it is the Dem
spots as a bait to voters next year,
that the people prosper as a whole
under sound government, and suffer
as a whole when business conditions
are disturbed by demagogues acting
through an incompetent party.
Democratic leaders in the House do
not expect their slash at wool TO be-
come a law at the extra session. They
are maneuvering for political effect.
They have begun by assailing the in
terests of farmers under the protective
system and have now reached the
weavers. BY this policy they hope to
induce voters in general to believe that
the cost of food and clothing will be
reduced, as if bleeding patient every
day or two is a sovereign way to main
tain the general health. In the Demo
cratic report is found the pretense
that free trade is partly postponed now
because Republicans have mismanaged
the finances of the country and that the
treasury needs little revenue from
wool. Therefore, trifle of protection
in the wool duty can be allowed to stand
for the present. Such politics is ridic-
ulous and will deceive no one of intelli-
gence--Globe Democrat.

Case OF Assault And Battery.

A case from Audubon township was
tried Monday afternoon at the Court
house by jury with Justice Joe H.
Ross presiding. 1t was the State of
Iowa against Charlie Rose and James
Rose charged with assault and battery
upon one Joseph Robson. County
Attorney Mantz appeared for the state
and A. III. Andrews and John Griggs
for the defendants. The claim was that
the boys amused themselves by throwing
stones at Robson, but their attorneys
insisted they were nothing but clods of
dirt. Their excuse was that Robson
had accused them of stealing water
melons. The jury found the boys
guilty and they were fined ten dollars
and costs.
