does not like her, and says she is not

fond CT work, and has no ambition,
and all that she says Is that as long
as was good to her or If any one
else was good to her she would be
good to them I am about to ask
this girl to become engaged to me.
but when she says things like the
above it starts me thinking, for I
am one of those boys who wants to
succeed in life and wants to get out
of the nut that I am In and be some
thing.
Should take this girl for my wife
or shall I take my mothers advice
and forget all about her?

TIE day had been hot and drowsy.
Mama Spider and her little ones had
hardly found enough to eat. They
were getting rather restless when Mama
Spider decided she would go on trip
and try and find something for her little
cnes to eat.
She cautioned them not to go out from
under the broad rose leaf that sheltered
them Then. kissing them tenderly. she
hurried away to the old well. where she
could generally find bugs flying. and
prepared to build a new web.
She hadn't been gone long when Willy
Spider. the oldest and strongest of the
spider children. declared that he didn't
intend 70 go hungry any longer.
IF Mama Spider can get food out at
the old well. why can't we?" he said.

All his brothers and sisters looked from

With that he crawled out from under
the cool rose leaf INTO the bright sun
light. down a blade of grass, and away
toward the well. This was the very path
he had seen his mama take SO many
times when the straggie=s failed to get
their feet entangled In her web.
He reached the well all right and was
peering over the side when suddenly a
long arm caught him. Before Willy
Spider knew what was happening he
| found himself dangling in the strong
clasp of great big wasp. who few

"Oh. please. kind. lovely Mrs. Wasp"
cried Willy Spider between sobs. Please

more bitterly. But Mrs. Wasp paid no

door shut with chunk of mud.
Willy Spider kicked and fumed and
fumed and kicked until a hand touched

kick he opened his eyes.
He had fallen asleep while waiting for
his mama to come back. and his terrible
experience had been a dream. He had

shook him IN play.
His brothers and sisters crowded
