over the fields that ne came upon the
widow fishing in the river at certain
point. He did not show himself, but
fifty feet from where she sat under a
tree he discovered bumblebees' nest
in the grass. 1t was large and lib
eral nest, and it gave him a thought.
rhe bees wouldn't bother anybody so
long as they were let alone If stirred
up they would look for meat.
There was haystack not far away,
and EbeneZer had matches In his
pocket. He retired behind the stack
and collected hatful of stones from
the plowed land. These he threw one
by one at the spot where the bees
were pursuing the even tenor of their
ways. The plot thickened. You can
thicken bumblebee plot in very
tread on their coattails. When the In
sects found the rocks dropping on their
heads they swarmed out of the grass
to look for the enemy. They should
have seen the widow and descended
upon her, and at her first shrek Eb-
enezer would come charging down
with wisp Of lighted hay in either
hand. But things went wrong The
bees then went for him alone. They
ran him up and down the haystack:
they ran him over fences and back;
they ran him across lots and in circles,
and when they finally left him and he
Tell down the widow came forward and
asked:
But why were You such fool?'
Because want you to marry me,'
he groaned in reply. And you said
you would marry hero. thought the
bees would attack you and could rush
n and save you"
Why, you great idiot. I've been
eady to say yes any day for the last
hree months"

The Primary colors.

Primary colors are the colors int
which white light is separated by tbs
dispersion of a prism. Those named
by Newton are red. orange. yellow
green. blue. indigo and violet Artists
reduce these to three-red. yellow and
blue Scientists generally consider red
green and blue TO represent the pri.
mary color sensations. and in one the
DRY there are supposed TO be three sets
of nerves in the retina which can re-
spond to these three colors. The idea
of three primary colors is that from
the combination of these three all hues
may be produced which are to be found
In white light.

themselves in the field. having first set

to watch these sentries hustling away

BATTLING SPIDERS.
When They Fight It Is Really Com.
bat For Existence.

cat r or Existence.
When two or more spiders fight there
Is usually good reason for the fu-
rious attack and vigorous defense that
always follows.
1t is not generally known that after
certain time has elapsed spiders be-
come incapable Of spinning web from
lack of sufficient material The gluti-
nous substance from which the spider
spins its slender web Is limited. There
fore. spiders cannot keep on construct.
Ing new SHARES for their prey when the
old webs are destroyed,
Very often when the web material
is exhausted they are able to avail
themselves Of the web producing pow
ers of their younger or more fortunate
neighbors, and this they do without
any scruple whatever
AS soon as a spiders web construct
ing material has become exhausted and
its last web destroyed. it usually sets
out In search of another home and
unless 1t should find one that is unoc-
cupied battle usually ensues, which
ends only with the retreat or death OF
the invader or defender.
Such struggle is intensely interest
ing and will reveal some wonderful
tactics and skill in spider warfare. The
invader usually comes off victorious,
although in some cases the defender
puts up such stiff fight 1t is able to
hold its own in spite of the attack of
the intruder which is in desperate
straits.-New York American.
