Deadly Spiders.

We have in this country small
spider, commonly known as the "black
widow" which is very deadly. It has
red spots on its abdomen. There is no
question of the fact that It's bite is
often fatal.
Rather odd is the fact that this
species of spider is found in most parts
of the world In New Zealand it is
called the "katipo;" in Santo Domingo
the "red rump." Not only does it Kill,
but the death 1t inflicts is inconceiv-
ably frightful. The brain Is affected,
and dropsy of the skin may distort
the victims features to such an ex-
tent as to render him unacceptable.

HIS PATH ONE OF BLESSINGS
Beautiful Legend of "HoIy Shadow
Might Well Serve as an lnspira-
ton to Al.

1t Is a French legend, so old that we
do not know when 1t was written, or
rather when 1t grew. We may not
believe In the miracle giving, but in
the, heart of the story lies an exquisite
pearl of truth. And thus runs the
old legend.
A very long time ago there dwelt
upon the earth saint so good that
the angels themselves came down from
heaven to see how any mortal could
live so holy and beautiful life. They
found a man going about his daily
duty in simple faithfulness, diffusing
an atmosphere of love as the star diff
fuses light, and the flower fragrance
without being aware of 1t. Watching
with eager interest, they saw that two
words summed up his day. He gave
and forgave.
Not that these words fell from his
lips, but they were expressed in his
pleasant smile, in his Kindness for
bearance and charity.
Then the angels prayed to God, ask
ing, 20 Lord, grant him the gift Of
miracles" The answer quickly came,
Il will ask him what gift it shall be-"
SO the angels asked the holy man,
would you like to have the touch Of
your hands heal the sick?' But he
answered, No; that Is Gods work"
Again they asked. Would you like to
convert guilty souls, and bring back
wandering hearts to the right path?"
NO" he replied, that is also the
work of God. l pray; do not con-
vert"
would you like to become a model
of patience, attracting men by the lus-
ter of your virtues. thus clarifying
God?"
Still he answered, mo; If men
should become attached to me they
would be further from God and es-
tranged from him. The Lord has other
means of clarifying himself"
Filled with establishment, they cried !:
what, then, do you desire?"
The saint smiled, and asked in turn,
"What can l wish for? That God give
hc his 6IuCt, Win llldl Sliuli nut
have everything?"
But the angels insisted that he must
choose a miracle, or have one chosen
for him.
Very we'll" he said at length, weary
of their importantly. 81 wish that
may do great deal of good without
ever knowing it,"
How were they to carry out such a
wish? Finally they hit upon the fol-
lowing plan: Every time the saints
shadow should fall behind him or on
either side where he could not see II,
this shadow would have the power to
cure disease, soothe pain, and comfort
the sorrowing.
And so the wish was fulfilled. When
the dear old man walked abroad, his
shadow, thrown on the ground on
either side or behind him, made arid
paths moist, gave fresh greenness to
withered vegetation. brought back mu-
sic to the parched, dried-up brooks,
and roses to the pale cheeks of suffer
ing little children, and diffused joy
everywhere.
The saint went simply about his
daily duties, knowing nothing of the
blessednesS of his falling shadow. At
last his very name was forgotten and
he was reverently called "The Holy
Shadow."-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Men have to 20 right up against the
fighting line and do the dangerous
work Of war I'm order to receive the
highest commentator that the people
Of government can bestow upon
them. Naturally 1t Is the army that Is
receiving so much attention now, while
little or nothing Is said about the navy.
Probably this Is what moved Congress
man Padgett OF Tennessee, chairman
Of the committee on naval affairs, to
tell the house the story of what the
navy is actually doing In this war. He
did not point out that the navy has
had very few actual encounters and
has not lost thousands of men as In
the Cnsc Of the army, but he did show
that without the navy II would have
been impossible to transport that army
10 Europe. II is the navy that has pro-
tccted the transports which have car
rod to Europe nearly 100000 men.
The navy has at all times been in dam
ger while performing this duty, nj
though most Of the actual fighting has
been on land rather than at sea. There
has been no complaint Of the navy, but
there are certain friends of the navy
who fear the country may forget the
part that 1t has played in this great
wnr on account of the fact TINT the
navy has met with little actual fight
ing and few disasters.
The fact that the navy has re-
NAMED almost unscathed while the
army has been suffering severe losses

1t is altogether probable that
the German peace drive In this
country caused n discussion from one
end to the other of the land which
will have a wholesome effect, and in
large measure offset the damage which
was done through the fear of negOti-
ated peace instead of an absolute sur
render. This discussion showed that
the American people were bitterly OPP
posed to any armistice or any cessa-
ton of war upon the Hun until he
was sOundly beaten and accepted I'M
conditional surrender. II Is also likely
that hereafter none Of the allied ma
lions will enter into parleys or nego-
tlatlons with the Germans for any kind
Of peace except that which is to be
dictated when there Is no longer Ger
man resistance. It became evident In
the discussions throughout the coun-
try. and particularly in the senate
whore there was scarcely dissent
ing voice, that our people did not even
want to talk Of possible negotia lions
for peace until Germany had received
what was coming TO her for the atrOcl-
ties Of the past four years
Here and there voice has been
heard TO the effect that we are not In
this war to wreak vengeance upon the
German people. But 1t should be re-
membcrcd that criminals are punished
not only as a matter Of retribution, but
in order that they and others may not
again commit crimes.

DEMANDS A SHARE
IN PEACE MOVES
SENATE WANTS TO TAKE PART
IN ALL THE PRELIMINARY
ARRANGEMENTS.
REvIVING AN OLD DISPUTE
Strained Relations With the White
House May Result-ReVenue Bill
Gives Senators Fine Constitutional
Question TO Debate.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.


WaShington.--There Is a possibility
Of strained relations between the
White House and the senate becoming
enhanced by the determination Of
many senators not 10 have their body
left out Of all the preliminary arrange
nents relating to the establishment
Of peace. The senate claims right
"a take part In this discussion be-
cause the Constitution says that "hy
and with the advice and consent or
two-thir,is Of the senate" treaties with
foreign governments shall be ratified.
Advice aud consent is taken TO mean
by many senators very literally, and
the theory is advocated that the pres
ident ought TO advise with senator's
before he makes treaties.
This Is an old-time contention and
one that has bobbed up frequently In
the past particularly whenever the
senate undertakes to dip into foreign
relations. Some presidents have gone
so far rs to characterize such actions
by the senate as "meddlng" In affairs
which did not officially concern them.
Very recently strong newspaper sup
porters Of the president criticized the
senate severely for attempting to say
anything in regard to peace negota-
tons. claiming that II was purely an
executive function and that the SEN
ate was going outside It's Jurisdiction
either 10 approve or dlsapprOve any
action the executive might take be-
fore the treaty was actually submitted
TO the senate.
Back in the days Of the last admin
istratlon Of Grover Cleveland, that
strong-minded president had a very
able paper prepared on the subject OF
the rights Of the executive In the mat
ter Of the recognition IF new coun-
tries or the bellgerency Of countries
In war. No one has ever disputed that
paper The president also had very
strong Views as to his rights and also
, strong objections TO "meddling" on the
part OF the senate Mckinley always
rot along very well with the senate,
but he had the capacity 10 get along
with anybody. Roosevelt had his dis
agreements with the senate, not so
much in regard 10 foreign relations
~ TO legislative affairs. Along the
lines Of prerogntlve President Tnft
rever had any disputes with the SEN
ate. But several times during the
present administration there have
been differences between President
Wilson and members of the senate,
not only IN regard 10 foreign affairs,
but also In regard to legislation.
