HOW A SPIDER
 SAVED SCOTLAND

For several years, Robert Bruce, the hero King of Scotland was an out law with but a few followers. He even had to leave his beloved Scot land at one time, and hide himself on a small island off the coast of Ire land.
 He had only a wretched hut to live in, although he was a king, but he was as patient as he was brave, and was willing to suffer many hardships if he could only free bis native land.
 While lying on his bed one day, he noticed a spider who was spinning its web. Time after time 1t failed to run one of it's slender threads from one beam to another. Six times it tried

 to himself, sitting up on his bed and watching the determined little insect intent1y, eff the spider tries again, so will I!'' Once more the spider tried. and this time with success. Bruce jumped from his bed, and in few days was back in Scotland.
 It was indeed a happy omen. for from that time, the tide turned in his favor, and gradually he, won back all the cities and castles which the Eng fish had conquered And so Bruce throne, but if it had not been for the little spider, perhaps he never would have had the heart to attempt it.

Nurnberg Sunk.

London, Dec. 1.-THE German
cruiser Nurnberg, which withdrew
from the battle off the Falkland
islands last Tuesday and attempted
to make her escape in company with
the cruiser Dresden, was hunted
across the water by units of the
British fleet and sunk the same day.
This information was contained in
a statement of the British official
press bureau, made public Thurs
day. The statement added that
search for the Dresden was still pro-
ceeding.
Although the official press bureau
says the British men of war are still
seeking for the last one of Admiral
Won Specs vessels, unofficial reports
received in Buenos Aires say the
Dresden has been cornered in the
straits of Magellan, the tortuous
waterway leading from the Atlantic
to the Pacific at the southernmost
point of South America. Whether
these reports are true or not, it is
believed in admiralty circles here
that the Dresden, even though she
is somewhat faster boat than any
of those sunk in Tuesdays battle,
eventually will be brought to action.
The battle in which the Scharn-
horst, Gneisenau and Leipsiz were
sent to the bottom according to an
admiralty report, lasted five hours
with intervals. The Scharnhorst sank
in three hours and the Gneisenau
two hours later. No loss of any
British vessel has been reported by
the admiralty.
Berlin's comment is:
"Our losses seem to have been
great. Concerning the strength of
the enemy, whose losses are report
ed to be small, the English dispatches
say nothing"

TO COLLECT
OLD LINEN
Salvation Army Workers Are
Supplying War Bandages.

Envoy Waller, 204 East 18th St.,
of the local Salvation Army post, has
announced that he will conduct an
Old Linen campaign here as is being
done throughout this entire country
by the Salvation Army.
This campaign is for the collection
of old linen Of every description
which will be made into lint and ban
dages and sent to the warning coun-
tries in Europe to be used in the
hospitals and on the battlefields in
dressing wounds. There is reported
to be great scarcity of such dress
ings and the Salvation Army is I'M
dertaking to supply the demand so
far as possible. Already in the
larger cities the campaign is well I'M
der way and immense amounts of
linen have been collected.
Everyone who has any old linen
which he wishes to contribute can
send it to Envoy Waller, or if the
donors will telephone to him, phone
916-l, he will send for it. The linen
must be well washed and clean.
When sufficient amount is collected
here it will be sent to New York.
where the Salvation Army has a
large force of volunteer workers en-
gagged in sterilizing the linen and
manufacturing into the surgical
dressings. None of these workers is
charging for his or her services.

Germans Active.

Dover, Dec. 1.-THE city of Dover
was thrown into excitement yester-
day by the announcement that the
Germans early that morning at
tempted a submarine attack on the
harbor works and the fleet at anchor
in the harbor.
The night was very dark and a
heavy rain and haze made searchlight
work difficult. Fortunately the forts
were put on the alert about A O'Clock
Thursday morning by the appearance
off the harbor entrance Of an I'M
identified steamer, who refused to
stop until shot was fired across her
bow.
This vessel then retired. She is
believed to have been the tender of
the submarines.
Half an hour later, it is said, a
single submarine was sighted and
one of the heavy guns in the harbor
fired at her. This submarine, which
evidently was the advance scout, dis
appeared, but at half past six the
observers sighted what they believed
to be fleet of about six submarines,
several miles out in the channel.
They were driven off by a heavy fire
from the forts.

Paid For The Small Crop Of a
Little Orphan Girl of
CrOftOn.
CONDITION OF TOBACCO.
Prices Show Some Improve
ment When The Second Sale
Are Held.

The opening sales on the local to.
bacco market, which occupied Tues.
day and Wednesday, aggregated
$4,000 pounds. The warehouses
started at once on a second round
Thursday an as heretofore sales
will be held every day except Satur-
day.
The highest price of the week was
paid to little orphan girl with only
one foot, who lives with Dick Davis
near Crofton. She had a little crop
of lis pounds raised by her own la
Dor and sold at Cooper's loose floor.
There was spirited bidding and the
crop was sold to Norman Mellon at
at $l2. Sc and 81. The $l2 price
gave her the prize of S. in merchan-
disc offered by j. H. Anderson for
the highest priced crop sold. A sim.
liar prize offered to the buyer was
donated by Mr.. Mellon to the little
girl, whose name is Bessie Lorraine
johnson.
The next highest price was at
tanned by M. H. Tandy & Co., for
small crop sold on their floor at
.$11.50.
The following quotations are ar
rived at by a conference of lead
ing warehouseman and a leading
out-of-town buyer and are a fair
representation of the market:
Trash 81 so to 81 so.
Lugs SO 90" $3.50.
Low Leaf $3.50 to $500.
Com Leaf Sc. 90 to $500.
Med Leaf 81. so to So so.
Good Leaf SO. so to $3.50.
Fine Leaf $40 to $500.
Tobaccos that are in soft condi-
ton are selling at 81 to 81 lower.
1t is the concensus of opinion of
of buyers and sellers that the crop
as a whole is out of condition and
should be re-ordered and if possible
retired in many instances. This
will surely pay for the trouble taken
and help the market as a whole. A
new provision of the law requires
each warehouse to post the total
amount of its daily sales with the
average price paid, on the following
day.
This law is being observed. The
average price at Cooper's warehouse
was $500 on $4,000 lbs. Tuesday,
$6.064 on 47,25O lbs. Thursday and
SOB on $4,000 lbs. yesterday. Fig
ures at the other houses were not
given.

Burley Tobacco.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 11.-Sales
Wednesday on the Lexington tobac-
co market amounted to 339,665
pounds at prices ranging from $40 a
hundred down, and at an average
price of 1896. Offerings as a whole
were similar to those of the preced-
ing days this week, running largely
to the cheaper grades and house
burned was much in evidence. Also
much of the tobacco was in extreme
ly high order, which had tendency
to cut prices.
