Abolish Race Track

ANNAPOLIS. MD, March 11.-By a
vote of Is to 10. the Senate here voted

A NEW TANGLED SPIDER.

y = y
1t was when 1 lived in Greytown,
Natal. One day l was catching small
fish and aquatic insects for an aqua
rum. and l was using a small net in
a shallow tream. I happened to sec
ON the edge of the water a fine spider,
which I captured.
On reaching homc.s | placed. my
specimen in a large aquarium, where
spider measured about three inches
when it's legs we're extended. The
body is small, but the legs are long.
After hiding in the rockwork of the
aquarium for some time it took I'm q
very interesting position. 1t rested
two legs on Il stone and let the other
six float on the water, we'll spread out.
The ends of the six legs thus COM
manded a we'll defined area of water.
/ merely took notice of it's attitude,
and left 1t to it's OWL devices. After
a few minutes my servant boy came
into my study to say that the spider
once went to see what had happened.
The spider was on top of the rock
work, and it held in its grip a beall-
tiful little fish, about four times it's
own weight. I vas startled. How
could this spider, which has no pow
or to swim, catch a lively, quick SWIM
ming fish? 1t seemed to clutch the
fish as a Eat clutches a mouse. 1t
soon began, to ,deI9Hs its catch. and
before long. nothing was left of the
fish BUT Its backbone.
l al now eager 60 find out how the
spider caught the fish. That night,
about II O'clock, Fat down by the
aquariunl oswatch the. spider. II had
taken np it's position on n piece oil
stone, where the water was not deep.
and. had thrown out its long legs over
the water. Their eNtremities rested
on the surface, and made little de-
pressions on it. but did no break the
water skim The tarsi Of two pos
terror legs firmly held to n piece OF
rock just about al water level. The
whole. body a we'll over the water,
and the head was about in the center
of the Gordon of legs. very nea to the
surface of the water.
After watching for some time. l saw
a small fish swim toward the stone
and pass under the outstretched legs
of the spider. The latter made u swift
and sudden plunge. Its long legs.
head and body went entirely under
the water, the legs were thrown round
the fish with wonderful rapidity, and
in "a moment the powerful fangs pierre
ed its body. The spider at once
brought its catch 10 the rock and be-
gan to eat it.

TRADE EXTENSION POSSIBLE
Letter from Stanley TO Local Grocers
Shows Results of Parcel Post
and Advertising.

That extensive possibilities for
trade throughout the state are opened
to the merchants of Grand Forks by
the parcels post system. when COM
bined with judicious advertising Is in
dictated BY a letter received by the
Colton-W Wilder Grocery company from
Stanley, the county seat Of Mountrail
county. North Dakota.
The letter contains an order for tho
shipment Of celery and other green
concern. The goods are to be shipped
by parcels post.
Such orders as this suggest a new
field for the local concerns. Tho par
Gel post service insures prompt and
cheap transportation for goods of this
kind and there Is no reason why the
local merchants, If they are careful to
keep the country districts informed as
to their goods and prices. should not
do a large business Of this sort.
