Spider Went A-Fishinu.

This is not a nature fake story OF
fisherman's yarn; it Is an authenti
Gated account of actual facts, report
ed by minister in South Africa to
London Nature. He relates how he
caught large. spider whose out.
stretched legs covered a space about
three inches in diameter. He took
this spider home and placed it near
his aquarium, in which he had num-
Der of small fish. What was his sur
prise shortly to find that Mr.. Spider
was sitting up on his hind legs on the
edge of the aquarium, complacently
holding little fish four times his own
weight in his paws and munching
away at 1t with great gusto. The
spider continued to eat till nothing
was left of the fish but the backbone.
The minister then made it a point
to watch the spider and his patience
was rewarded by seeing him later in
the very act Of fishing. The insect
spread his legs out over the water In
sprawling position and waited for
his prey.

1t was dangerous pleasure sensible,
thoughtful Sidney Ware realized, the
court he could not help paying to the
sweetest girl he ever met. Still he
could not resist the attraction. It
seemed as If their souls mingled when
he was with Della Angel. He was
earnest, wholesome-hearted, happy
spirited, she transformations, lovely and
genuine. They were like two ingenu-
Gus children playing In beautiful
garden, for everything in the world
was fresh and radiant to their un-
spoiled natures.
Sidney never knew how much Della
was to him until she went away to
visit some friends at quite distance.
He kept on smiling. but there was a
vague longing in his heart that took
some of the rare glitter from perfect
contentment. In business way
everything was going more than well
with this fortunate young man. Mr..
Angel had come to him one morning,

We do not fatter ourselves that the
intellect of our time, judged by the
power of individuals. is exceptionally
great. No doubt. men of commanding
genius are still with US, but they are
not more numerous or more original
than in former times. What then is
the peculiarly that has produced such
great results? In my opinion what has
been accomplished is due In great part
to the spread Of higher education,
which has evolved an army of compe'
tent investigators possessing enthusi-
asm for research which now, for the
first time, is led into useful paths by
the few great minds, whose powers
thus receive wider range and become
more productive II is in this that our
great strength lies.-Prof. Arthur

s.. Petersburg, Dec. 1S.-Dixie
IN. Hollins, county superintendent
of public instruction. while here,
conferred with Superintendent
Sleight, relative to the establish
ment of teachers training school.
on the basis of a normal school, and
it is probable such an institution
will be the result.
Mr.. Hollins has not as yet put his
plans before the county board. al
though he expects to do so in few
days. His main object yesterday was
to fee out the situation. and in go
ing over the matter with Superin-
tendcnt Sleight practically every an
gle YVES discussed.
Florida has no normal school, but
has normal branches in bob colleges,
and should the plan of Superintend-
ent Rollins materialize, St. Peters
burg would be one of the first cities
in the State to provide a school for
the training of teachers. Teachers
are in demand in Florida, and, &C
| cording to Mr. Hollins, they are few
and far between, although Pinellas
county has been very fortunate in
securing able teachers for her
schools.
Should the institution Mr. Hol-
Inns has in mind materialize, as he
believes 1t will, it is said that a
great deal of good will be done along
an educational line. Certain stu
dents in the high school at present
would be regarded as students in the
training school and special line of
studies for them aud others would
be outlined. In fact, the names Of
pupils who contemplate teaching
school were asked for yesterday at
the high school, and it Is under
stood that a number are seriously
contemplating enrolling if the train
ing school is established.
Superintendent Hollins stated that
the matter will be gone into in a
more thorough manner in a few days
with the county board, and that he
hoped to be able to make positive,
definite statement in short time.
1t is believed that the institution of
such school in this city would be
of material benefit 20 the schools of
the city but also to those who seek
training along that line.

Two years later some one had to fill

months Mr.. Angel came to Sidney,
who had secured that position.
See here, Ware" he observed,
facts are facts, and you have doubled

Sidney smiled in a modest, depre-
eating way, and tried to sidetrack the
burden of compliment by telling a
clean humorous story that set the
usually majestic millionaire shaking
with laughter.

slipped from his grasp. The man made
a movement as If to descend after it.
Then a glance around seemed to impei
him to the other alternative. A po-
liceman fitted into view, disappeared,
and Sidney, after waiting for a min
ute or two, picked up the satchel
If there had been a fiagman in sight
Sidney would have left the satchel in
his possession with an explanation.
AS it was, he was due at the Angel
home, so he concluded to take the
satchel along with him and leave it at
the depot on a chance that the owner
might apply for it there in the morn
ing.
He placed the satchel unobtrusively
in a corner of the reception hall as he
was shown into the house by a serv-
ant. Then it dropped entirely from
his mind. A fine meal and the most
genial guest possible put MIR. Angel
in his brightest mood. Magnate and
manager discussed some business, but
not much. Sidney's inexhaustible fund
Of drollery and that infectious smile of
his gave Mr.. Angel the pleasantest
evening he had spent for long time,
according to his own spontaneous dec
laration.
When Sidney was shown up to his
room, to his surprise he found the
troublesome satchel on a chair. The
servant evidently had supposed it to
be an adjunct of his all-night visit.
Il wonder what's in it," unused Sid
ney. rs it locked? No. declared"
He stared hard as the satchel came
open. And no wonder! Such a con.
glomeration Of bright, neat, odd tools
came into view, and SO unusual and
unique in their shape that he could
scarcely guess their purpose.
"A burglars kit" burst forth Sid
ney.
There was no doubt of that. There
was a silk and steel ladder, drills,
picklocks, fuses, a deadly looking box
that might hold nitroglycerin. Sidney
liceman who recognized him, had left
with due dispatch via the freight
route.
Sidney put out the lights and sat at
the open window of the dressing room
of the suite to think of Della. He must
have fallen asleep unawares. A CLINT
of light in the outer apartment ava
kened him. Sidney saw two men, one
holding dark lantern, its rays TO
cussed down upon the open satchel.
"One of our kind" spoke one of the
men.
Say" broke in the other vehement
ly, 81 know who those tools belong to
Dark Derry. He's here, or coming
here, and it's his job.
What about the booty downstairs?"
Hands OFF, won't interfere with a
king pal"
The two men left the room. A min
ute later Sidney saw them make of
across the lawn. He went down
stairs.
Tied hand and foot, with a gag in
his mouth, lay Mr.. Angel on sofa. A
safe stood open, and spread out on a
green cloth beside it was jewelry,
money, bonds.
Another ten minutes and l would
have chicken to DEATH" declared the
magnate when released, after Sidney
had explained matters. IF they had
come back for that plumber would
have been $4,000 the loser. You're a
bright fellow, Ware"
Sidney only smiled. He was SO
bright that, with papa's full blessing,
he welded winsome Della year later.
He smiled then, in love with all the
world, but particularly with the happy,
lovely bride he had won.

NONRESIDENT
 ENTRY |S VOID
Commissioner of General Land Office Renders an Opinion Reversing LOca! Land Office in San SimOU Valley Case

A general land office decision has just been received by the local land office that will be of much interest to persons who have filed or con template filing desert land entries for lands in this state. On March
 25, 1912, William IT, Gregg made
 desert land entry for a tract of 160 acres in the san simon valley. Since then he has made two annual proofs of expenditure. On January 21, 1914. after two other contests had
 been brought against this land. Charles II. Brooks brought contest aglinst it alleging that the entryman
 was net resident of this state when he made the entry This con teS' was accepted by the local land office and after an intellectual appeal to the General Land office by Gregg who moved for the dismissal of the contest a hearing was ordered and
 held in san simon on December g. 1914. Brooks was represented by Land Attorney A. Mandl of this city.
 on Januar, G. of this year the lo- cal land office rendered decision in favor of tke defendant. but this de- cision on appeal has been re- verSed by the commissioner of the general land office. The latter in an elaborate opinion states among other things that the sole issue to be de termired herein is whether or not Gregg was a citizen of Arizona on March 25 1912" ,thc date of the en- trND and that his residence or per Sonal presence at later times else where is immateriaL except as it may tend to show his intentions Af- ter reviewing the evidence. the com missioner found that though resi- dent of Arizona prior to the date of the entry he was not resident on that date and therefore deciding in favor of the plaintiff holds the entry of Gregg for cancellation
