LITTLE Difference IN POETS
Mr.. J. Fuller Gloom Comments on
Strain That Seems to Be Com
mon to All Of Them.

ut Is related Of Tennyson-not Ten.
nyson J. Draft. but that other and
equally asphyxiating poet, Alfred Lord
Tennyson-" stated ]. Fuller Gloom,
that at one time he took certain
visitors up onto the roof of his house
to show them a view, which In all prob
ability he wished to give the impress
sion he had made. Presently a woman
and child were observed In the dis
lance, running In their direction, and
Iei4nyson would have 1t that they were
hurrying to catch glimpse of him. A
moment later bull was seen charging
out from behind a clump of bushes,
palpably In pursuit of the two. There
upon Tennyson, true to form, declared
that the gentleman COW was also try.
Ing to get a good look ut the worlds
greatest poet. From this we should
learn that the bards OF the good old
times were fully as silly and conceited
as they are today."-Kansas City Star

TarantuIa Bite Not Fatal.

Won Fuerth considers that the bite
of the historically famous Italian
tarantula Is able to cause no more
than local Inflammation, while the
Psychologist Robert was unable to dis.
cover profoundly poisonous properties
in the supposedly more dangerous
Russian tarantula, Eurypelma stein
dachneri, a species reaching the for.
midable looking adult size of more
than two inches In length. 1t has been
exonerated from the reputation long
attaching to II.
Baerg of the University Of Arkansas
has subjected both animals and man
to attack by the fangs Of active taran.
tulas. Although the accounts do not
give the impression that such en-
counters are painless performances,
they are put In the category of bee
sting in severity rather than In class
of more menacing toxins Even bees
may produce fatalities; yet they are
rarely elassed among the greater
dangers to life.-Journal of American
Medicine.
