THE tarantula is very large spi-
der with very efficient poison
fangs and a jumping record
When seen at a distance, which is the
proper way to view a tarantula, he
consists mostly Of legs. He has eight
long, hairy legs surrounding a body al
most as large as a peanut. Altogether
he is about as big as a small plate and
as pleasant to look at as a rattlesnake
The tarantula is found in very hot
climates. He begins to become dis
agreeably numerous in southern Texas
and increases in numbers and ferOcity
with the increasing heat of the tropics
No naturalist has as vet sent back an
account Of the neither regions, but IL is
quite likely that the tarantula is one
Of the oldest inhabitants of Hades
The tarantula does not live in houses
and catch flies like the domestcated
spider Of the north, but inhabits caves
ana holes in the ground and remains in
perpetual i'll humOr. When he is ap-
preached by anyone not on his calling
list, he rises rapidly upon several Of
MS mind legs and leaps at the intruder.
The leap of the tarantula is not fatal,
but If he manages TO make a small hole
in his victim with his powerful jaws,
said victim swells up like a Mexican
dictator and becomes remarkably af-
fGcted with i'll health. Many scientists
have assured US that the bite Of this
spider is practically harmless, but most
Of these live in Philadelphia and other
cold countries and do not carry these
pets.
The tarantula is very fond OF banana
plantations and likes nothing better
than to crawl into a bunch Of bananas
and go TO sleep for a few weeks. Ere
Quently he awakes in country grocery
store in Illinois When this happens.
he comes forth to see the proprietor
and get an explanation. Shortly after
this the human contents Of the store

HOLD OPENING SATURDAY
Bemidji Milliners Select Day fol
First Showing Of Fall Millinery
Birds Manufactured
DARK CoLoRs REPLACE GAUDY

Saturday September has been
chosen by the Bemidji milliners,
LaFontisee Sisters, Mrs. E. G. Neal,
Mrs. A. P. Henrionnet and Edward
Sisters, as the opening day for fall
millinery, and cordial invitation
is extended to call and inspect their
display of fall and winter hats.
A large variety of models will be
found this fall and while the small
hat is allowable the sailors and
large hats are favored. The large
hats are almost all variations of
the sailors, mostly flat brimmed,
some high, but more often simply
medium. The small, close fitting
hats are all high. Derby like
shapes are also to be used great
deal this fall.
Women will be glad to learn that
the bright, gaudy colors are out and
that the shades now favor the somber
ones, black, midnight blue, tete de
Negre, lime, Russian green, bronze,
toupe, puppies, citron, the new pink
and the dark wine shades Velvet
is the principal material used, al
though it is combined with other
materials. For instance, the crown
or underbrim will be of velvet, while
the upper brim will be of brocade, or
gold or silver tissue, MORE, etc.
The Roman stripe in velvet and
rich silks, is used a great deal in
trimmings, as well as the drenched
ostrich feathers. The are the ma
tural single, uncurled dat ostrich
feathers. Gold and silver is very
good and many Of the fancy feathers
will be found to have the metallic
luster~in either one of these. Women
need not hesitate to use birds in their
hats this fall, as all these are manu-
featured. Many of the fancy feath-
ers, such as the hackle, which were
formerly imported from France, will
be manufactured in America this
year.

GIBBONS BEATS FAGEN.
St. Paul Boxer Has Easy Fight With
Californian.

Tommy Gibbons knocked out Bert
Fagen in the second round of their
scheduled ten-round fight at Hudson
last night. Fagen proved false
alarm and never had chance with
the clever brother of Mike Gibbons.
Fagen failed to reach Gibbons with
a clean blow in the four minutes that
the bout lasted Every one of his
efforts were weak and most of his
time was spent in covering up.
Tommy assumed the offensive imme-
diately after they stepped into the
center of the ring and never let up
until the Californian disappeared
through the ropes. Mike O'Dowd Of
st. Paul stopped Labe Safro Of Min
neapolis in four rounds, and Billy
Whalen outpointed Kid Coffey.

A WONDERFUL FIND.
Colonel Funkley Discovers Copper
Spear in Big Pickerel. 49,

An odd find has just been made
by Colonel Henry Funkley. While
cleaning 21-pound pickerel, which
he had caught near Diamond Point,
the colonel found three-inch copper
spear. Making the find all the more
wonderful, is the fact that the spear,
or knife, is made of tempered cop
per, the art of which has long been
lost. "Why, this spear is undoubt-
eddy 10000 years DID, said the COL
onel, lit has been years since the
art of tempering- copper has been
known. I intend to send the spear
to Washington and have it's finding
investigated" The copper is COW
