Colonel Watterson talks Of proofs

sufficient proyOcation to do so. Governor

full story of what happened? He seems
To he the only one who is inclined to tell
the tale Colonel Harvey as a source of
information dried up after "EIarpers

which left OH the public mind what
seems to be the erroneous impression
that Governor Wilson had volunteered
his objection to its further editorial sup.
port
There are occasional intimatiOnS that
statement will be- forthcoming from
Governor Wilson, but up to the present
he has contented himself with bare de-
mails of successive statements made in
the course of the controversy or with
saving nothing. AS to his denials, the
first one, IN which he declared that
Colonel Harvey was running "Harper's
Weekly" entirely upon his own judg-
ment. was so far from frank as to leave
the public i'm doubt how TO take the
others. Outside of the formal denials
nothing has come from the Wilson camp
except the vague rumOr that the break
with Colonel Harvey came over some
proposition involving Mr.. Thomas f..
Ryan.
Now why shouldn't Colonel Waiter
son. who seems TO be boiling over with
righteous impulse to put the public In
possession of the actual facts. tell all
the circumstances? Colonel Watterson in
his original statement said that he and
Colonel Harvey met TO consult about the
Wilson campaign when the Governor,
being present, revealed his "tyrannical'
disposition and turned his back upon the

conversation among the three before

what are the proofs which Colonel Wat

SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Profited by the Lesson the
Insect Taught to Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became part Of
England. and he learned lesson from
a spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He was discouraged He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep in
despair he went to a lonely room In
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling on a
single silken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatedly. 1t now began its
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again It tried to mount, but each time
1t failed. The king watched intently
forgetful of all else. An hour passed
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was

enemies and routed them, and from
