The Up to Date Spider

Walk yourself out of my kitchen"
Said the spider to the fly.
You may have just been wading through
Good heaven knows what sly!
Ten million vile baciili
May be clinging to your feet,
And I am careful nowadays
Regarding what l eat.
Your species once was welcome
Yes, and more-within my walls,
But now l know your tribe to be 8
The worst that flies or crawls.
1 know what laid my people low
In their last dread disease,
So take yourself away from here,
And do it quickly. pleased"
The naughty fly still buzzed about
And argued on the thing,
And so the spider swatted her,
Smote head and foot and wing.
He sterilized his food his house
He fumigated then,
Inoculated all his folks
And lived in peace again.

FIND READY SALE AE, THE
WILLIAMS PAVILION.

Plenty of good horses and a large
number of we'll known buyers were
among the features of the horse sale
at the Williams pavilion Friday The
demand for southern horses for work
in the cotton fields was large and
many of these animals were sold.
More will be wanted at the next sale
and for some time to come. The
number OF head sold will reach 1870
end the variety was large with the cot
ton country horse in chief demand.
The buyers came from all of the
principal markets as we'll as those
from adjacent places who are regular
visitors in Ottumwa. The trend of
prices is lower than last spring, al
though a good figure was realized on
horses of the right quality. There
were seven cars shipped east over
the Burlington last night and two
over the Milwaukee. There Is no
doubt but that the sale was the larg-
est and best of any in the state, for
Ottumwa is still the leading horse
market in Iowa. The sales will con-
tinue each week for some time to
come. -

John Wesley White Of Russell were
cousins-sons OF brothers. J. w. White
who is q veteran of the civil war; was
in Charlton recently and the Leader
asked him about it. did you know
Stanford White? p
Il rather think did. He was a play
mate of mine backin our youthful days.
a son of my uncle. Many a day have
spent with him on uncle's home farm
back in New Jersey, and often he came
to our home. as members of the same
family do. We attended school together
but afterwards he went to the city and
took up the profession as an architect
and became famous-famous finally in
more ways than one. I came west and
for years lived in Illinois before coming
to Russell, Iowa. We had another un-
Gle residing in the neighborhood and
their children often came to our home
and we to theirs. You will perhaps
call to mind Paymaster White, of the
Burlington railroad. He was also
cousin of Stanford and myself What

voice, "but haven't many folks told
you how much you resemble Mr.. Tu-

breathed easy. On the return journey
Mr.. Tumulty stopped at the white
