BIG SPIDER CATCHES MICE

Instead Of killing large black
spider which he saw In his workshop,
D, A. X. Noas OF Morristown, Tenn.
concluded to let II live and calls II his
pet, The spider actually catches mice
and seems to possess a greater fond
ness for the small rodents than his
kind usually have for flies.
Mr.. Meas is a broom manufacturer
Several days ago he was attracted by
the faint cries Of u small animal evil
IDENTIFY In distress Upon investigation
the dimlnutive sufferer proved to be- a
small mouse, which had in some way
become entangled in q 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 large black spider was
buslly engaged In the task OF binding
or enclosing him In a fno web Of
silken threads.
Becoming Interested in the perform.
anoe, 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
lts 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 frst oo-
currence second mouse was entlosd
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

dream of being somewhere and unable to get to
the theater although he feels it is time to ring
up the curtain. Another common nightmare
is that of being in the dressing room in the
theater and having no clothes to put on and
no way of getting any, while one hears the
lines march steadily on toward his cue, and
everybody is yelling and shouting to him to
come on. All actors dread this dream, and
they almost all have it. Each individual
actor interprets it according to his particular
dread, either in business or in an artistic
way. 1t sometimes visits them before the
production of play, and they are then in
clined to construe it as warning of failure

on the wane during the
last fifteen years. When l
first became an actor the
influence of superstition in
the profession was very
powerful; but, as l had a

of such a thing is that one
