NATION SAVED BY 4 SPIDER
Scotland Profited BY the Lesson N.
Insect Taught to Ito
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that thu
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long tina
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became q 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 . 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 fascinatingly. It now began its
ascent. It slipped. Time and time
again 1t tried to mount, but each time
1t failed. The king watched intently.
forgetful of all else. An hour passed.
Finally the spider succeeded. It was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged. having
tried only a few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saytD&. III
at first you don't succeed try again."

booming in the vicinity of Sioux Falls

MINERS BUY FIREARMS.
Trouble Feared Following Fatal Shoot
ing Of Laborer.

Philadelphia, May 10.-The feeling
Of bitterness engendered among the
foreign-speaking miners of Minersville,
when three of their countrymen were
shot by the state police during a riot,
was further intensified when Michael
Mullange. one of the trio, died. That
trouble is brewing is apparent from
the number of firearms being pur-
chased by nationalized foreigners.
Several dealers in Minersville prac-
tically have sold out and there also
is big demand for firearms in Potts
vile.
Captain Wilhelm of the state police
says there is no way to stop the sale
unless martial law is declared and the
situation does not warrant such a step
at present.
Officers of the state police fear an
attempt may be made to lead their
men into an ambuscade along some
Of the mountain roads. They believe
the naturalized foreigners are distrib.
uting firearms to their countrymen
with this object in view.
There was no serious rioting in the
coal fields. Some women and bows
marched to two washeries with the
intention of driving the employees from
their work, but were persuaded by
union officials to return to their homes.

Aberdeen.-Love's young dream was
sadly interrupted, but merely post

the home Of the brides brother, but
the day Of the wedding the brother
and his wife were taken down with
smallpox. Then the young folks went
to the Methodist parsonage and we're

New York.-A broken romance of
lfty years ago was revealed when
Charles M. Stillwell, 20 years old. of
ryndall, s. D., where he is postmaster
md large farm land owner, and Mrs.
Katherine Marie Noble, sc years old,
II $50 Hunts Point avenue, the Bronx,
we're married in Mrs. Mobiles home.
Al boy and girl the two played to-
gether and were chums In their old
acme in Genesee county, in this state,
but when Mr.. Stillwell became 81 he
was forced to 60 west and settled in
South Dakota. There he forgot the
little girl with whom he used to play,
and in 1865 he married, while she also
ceased to remember the tall young
man and also was married. Meanwhile
there followed no correspondence, and
Dnly faint recollection of the happy
youthful times remained with the man
and the woman. Several years ago,
when Mr.. Stillwell had become one of
the prosperous citizens of South Da-
kota, influential in political circles
and the owner of large acres Of wheat
land in Bonhomme county, he decided
to make trip to the city of tall build
ing. His wife had died and left him
four children, all of whom are doing
we'll in business ventures. He went
first to see the scenes of his young
days. and in questioning the residents
he asked about the girl chum of his
youth. He learned that she had been
married and was a widow, also with
four children. Mr.. Stillwell decided to
give surprise to Mrs. Noble and Wis
tied her at her home in the Bronx. He
was a trifle diffident at first, but the
friendship ripened after years into the
affection Of the olden days and the let
tiers which passed soon bore words of
love. Mr.. Stillwell made several visits
from his far away home to the Bronx,
and at last asked Mrs. Noble to be his
bride. He was just 20 then. But he is
hale and strong. Mrs. Noble accepted
the offer of marriage.
