1hsir Filmy Threads Have Wonderful
Sustaining Power.
The strength Of the spider and Of the
materials It employs is something al
most incomprehensible when the size
Of the insect and the thickness Of its
thread are taken into account Recent
experiments have shown that a single
thread Of a web made by spider
which weighed dfty-four milligrams
supported endwise a weight Of four
grams. or seventy four times the weight
Of the spider itself.
When. therefore. a spider spins web

or from the branch Of tree and we
see him descending without perceiv.
ing bis thread at all we may be per.
1ectly sure that he Is not only in no
danger Of falling. but that he could
carry seventy-three other spiders down
with him on his invisible rope.
Knowing this fact with reference to
Q single thread. we need not be sur.
prised that the threads Of web. inter.

tivea Of Uncle Gideon Dobbs that he
was q most delightful person to whom
to c0nnde a cherished ambition or dis

always ready with sympathy. admira.
ton or encouragement.
When the family received the sum-
mons to inspect young Franklin Dobbs'
invention. the mysterious work which
had occupied him for nearly a year,
Uncle Gideon was all enthusiasm. He
entered the room where the invention,
q thing Of many small wheels and
bars. was placed on a heavy table,
stepped up to his nephew and wrung
bic hand.

A Picture Of Might.

Along the high hedged lane John
Strong swung. the June cleaning deep
enin. into night. He loved to shove
his face into the night. He gioried in
the uncertainty of night. the indef1-
niteness Of night. and his soul cried
back a wild answer to the cry Of the
nighthawk and the owl. Night is more
primitive than day: night is more
calamitous: night Is a savage; night
everywhere is the true aborigine. Day
has taken on civilization. Night hurls
the world back to the day Of the war
club, the lint arrowhead. the painted
visage. John Strong loved the night
with an almost malevolent love. In
the night he could hear the Valkyries
screaming. the witches riding their
broomsticks. the ghouls scraping the
mold from OF the new buried coffin.
John Strong swung along. his face set
to meet oncoming night-Adventure.

GREAT SPEAKER
SAYS LEONARD
FORMER FIRST Nj. e. MINISTER
WRITES OF DR.. SHUTTER WHO
( WILL DELIVER THE PRINCIPAL
ADDRESS BEFORE THE MEMS
BANQUET MONDAY NIGHT.

Rev DR.. Herbert G. Leonard, form
erly pastor of the First M. r. church
in this city, but who is now pastor
of Simpson M. e. church in Minneapo-
lis, has written to Secretary Wolf of
the Y. NJ. G. A. complimenting Rev.
DR.. Marion Daniel Shutter, of the
Church of the Redeemer of that city,
and advising all members of the diff
ferent brotherhoods of the different
churches Of Fargo to hear him when
he speaks here next Monday night
before the united brotherhoods at the
banquet at the Pirie hall at $50
o'clock.
1t was through the efforts of DR.
Leonard and Secretary Wylie of the
Y. M. G. A. of Minneapolis, that Fargo
was enabled to secure DR.. Shutter,
who, DR.. Leonard says, is one Of the
best speakers in the northwest and
eminently able to deal with the sub
jects that will come up for discus
sion. He states that DR.. Shutter is
president of the vice commission ol
the city of Minneapolis and will give
the united brotherhood some very
plain statements in regard to certin
matters. Secretary Wylie speaks In
the same strain and says that the
speaker will be sure to be instructive
as well as entertaining.
Over 500 tickets have been placed
in circulation and it is hoped that
there will be a very large attendance
According to the committee of ar
rangements the banquet will be spreac
at $3.50 sharp and 1t is hoped thai
every man will be in his place at thai
time.

or northwest to be exact-up the Mis-
souri, valley along the west bank Of the
river of the same name. The river
is very crooked here and sweeps first
to one side of the valley and then TO
the other great curves. At this sea-
son of the year it does not impress one
as being much of a river although
was told that it increases immensely
with the spring freshets and most al
ways overfiows the valley.
I never saw finer hay bottoms than
from Mandan north for perhaps twen-
ty-five miles. 1t made one think of
the Minnesota hay bottoms only they
were larger. Whenever the river Ov-
erfiows in the spring they told me
it insured a fine crop of hay.
There are only three trains a week
from Mandan to Stanton, the present
county seat of Mercer county. should
say there were at present 200
people there, although it will no doubt
grow considerably now that it has a
railroad. Looking west from the Mis-
souri, valley one begins to get glimpses
of the Dakota hills. These are in
strange contrast to the level or roll
