WITH Aio OF SPIDER Mark
TWAIN TAUGHT A LESSON.
Tsid eur'eus Subscriber Why Live
insset Appsarsd In Fslds q
His NeNe0Apor.

Marx Twain was an inveterate 1oker,
as most people soon discovered. but
very often there was a distinct moral
to one Of his Jokes which did not re-
Quire to be labeled; 1t could be seen
with the naked eye.
Many years ago the. famous humor-
list was editor Of the Enterprise. Il
newspaper published at Virginia CITY
New. One day lie received q letter
from subscriber who appeared 10 he
bit superstitious.
The subscriber explained that he Mad
found In his copy of the Enterprise
that week live spider and he want
ed to know whether that meant good
luck or bad luck. Editor Mark. who
was plain Sam Clemens ut that period,
sat himself down and wrote a brief
reply In his answers to Correspond
ents' column. THAT spider" he said,
was merely looking over the columns
OF the Enterprise to find ont what
merchant doesn't advertise in his home
paper The spider wants TO 60 and
spin its web across the door Of that
mans place Of business. 50 that 1t
may have u long life of undisturbed
serenity"
This is the age OF advertising. II
you doubt 1t just take note OF the fact
that the circulation of the leadin:
mail order monthlies OF the United
States aggregates millions OF copies.
Why: The literature" contained in
most Of such publications Is not of
high class. and thcre Is no such enor-
nous demand for that class Of jour
nails merely for reading purposes.
Their circulation had been pushed by
various methods, in many cases the
papers being practically given away to
carry the advertising OF big city estab-
lishments and smaller catchpenny
schemes to the town and country dis
tricts. These papers with their enor-
nous circulation were supported by
advertising. The advertising even
paid for the white paper and the cI-
pense Of mailing.

How 10 Relieve SPAWN.

Spawn is very difficult to cure, and
about all you can do is to blister the
joint and remove the lameness for
awhile. The simplest and best blister
is made as follows: One ounce Span
ish flies. one-half ounce liquid tar, two
ounces lard. Mix and rub on the joint
from five to ten minutes, putting OH a
pretty thick application. and leave 1t
on for twenty-four to thirty-six hours.
Then wash of with warm water and
soap. When dry rub on some grease
or lard and let the animal rest for
three weeks.-Southern Cultvator.

HERE Il In every one, however
strong. some weakness which
Is bound to show itself vooner

Is bound to show itself sooner
or later. Such was the case
with George Converse. who at twenty
eight had served two enlistments in
the United States army with credit.
He had entered as q private and come
out as first sergeant Of his company,
besides having been mentioned sew
eral times for gallantry in action. The
reason why he did not enlist for an
other term was because he had fallen
in love with a pretty scamstrcss, who
adored him, and they were to be mar
ried. Ida Harker was very proud Of
her lovers prowess.
The e1-sergeant found Job as por-
ter In store. The couple were mar
ried and went to housekeeping In lit
tic place purchased with Ida's savings.
All went well for awhile, but George,
having been used to an entirely differ
ent life, became restivc under the COM
monplace duties of porter. He miss
ed the out Of door life, the martial mu-
sic, the metallic ring Of arms and es-
pecially the excitement and danger Of
a campaign. Day after day he grew
more discontented and at last began
to shirk his duties. This In time cost
him his position. He was not sorry,
because he thought he would fnd some
thing better suited to his taste. His
little wife encouraged him to think
thus, though III her heart she worried
that their income should be cut off.
George tried several other occupa-
tions, but did not show any more ap-
titude for work in them than in the
first. From some Of them he retired
voluntarily; from others he was dis
charged. Meanwhile children were
born to the couple. and since there
were 80 many mouths to feed the wife
resumed the work Of seamstress, which
she had lain down at her marriage.
She still had the same admiration for
her husband and delighted to hear him
tell his friends Of his battles, listening
herself demurely and watching with
| pride the effect on the others. How
| ever, Georges position as do-nothing.
permitting his wife to support not
only herself and their children, but
him as well, at last caused the finger
of scorn to be pointed at him. His
friends dropped away. and he had no
one to admire him except his wife.
At last an event happened that open
ed Ida's eyes. So long as George was
an ex-hero of many battles she could
brook his inability to labor at ordinary
duties. though she was obliged to sup
ply the deficiency herself, but one
night, being awakened by the smell OF
smoke. she got up. opened the bedroom
door and found that the house above
was in flames. Awakening her hus-
band. she bade him go to the uppss
floor and bring their eldest boy, while
she carried down the other two chill:
dren, who slept in n room opposite to
her own. Leaving George to his task,
she executed her own, but snce he did
not appear her anxiety Leo her back to
discover the cause of .He delay. She
expected to see him battling with the
flames, half sufYocated with smoke,
