Life auar.s,

The Life Guards are two regiments Of
cavalry forming part Of the British household

loyal British heart is proud Of them. Not

THE eREkx SPIDER.
dedicated to ssloon-keepers

A spider sat in his basement den.
Weaving his snares for the souls of men.
II will not work with my hands," quoth he,
IAN easier pathway must open for me-"
He spreads his table with greenest baixe,
And many q cunning trap he lays.
The marble halls are smooth and white,
The den is blazing with food OF light,
Behind the bar the spider stands.
There's not wise man in the land
But win lose his head and become q fool
If he yields himself to the spiders rule.
There is not man so strong and brave
But the spider win dig him a shameful grave.
There is not youth 50 noble and fair
But will learn to drink and gamble and swear
In the spiders den, but do not, pray,
Dare to dispute the SPIDERS sway.
II you sweep the den with the laws strong
broom,
Perhaps you might make q cleaner ROOM
But, then, men are fearful-s little afraid,
In faction the spider to make q raid;
'Twould stir up excitement, and spiders must
live,
So our dear household treasures we patien nifty
give,
And the spider still sits in his basement den,
Lying in wait for the souls Of men.

This playwright is successful and pro

said Mr.. Belasco. He lighted a lamp,
went downstairs. searched his library,

discovered a masked man kneeling
