Foreign Spiders
Found i'm Denver

Denver, Colo. Sept. 2S-(A. Ply
MaiD-A new species Of spiders, with
bodies shaped like footballs and
eight long legs, pink and striped with
black, have made their appearance
in Denver, according to A. E. CRAIG,
who has captured many of them. The
insects have wide nostrils, slit eyes,
small mouths and ears, and were
discovered in a shed owned by Craig
The spiders are believed TO have
been brought here in tropical fruit
and escaped to make their home in
the shed. The web formed by the
insects is thick and in the shape of
maple leaf. The spiders have sharp
jaws and long feelers. When in dan
ger. it is said. they emit poisonous
steam-like substance which forms
moisture on glass or any hard'
smooth surface.

Sense

In these modern days speed in bust
ness Is absolutely requisite. The
leisurely methods of fifty years ago
would drive any firm into bankruptcy.
DO 1T NOW" is posted in most off
ces, and for excellent reasons. Only by
hurrying the work along can theJnertia
OF the average business Office be over
come.
Only by knowing that you have got
TO get things done in time can you es-
cape the habit of procrastinatlon, the
most vicious and persistent that yon
can acquire.
Be cheerful when you are asked to
accelerate a little. With practice you
can learn to do it without being told.
And when you can work rapidly and
skillfully, you will soon begin to pull
far ahead of the other starters In the
particular race you are engaged in.

HOPELESS

MOST men are irritated by a driv-
AVA ing boss. 1t is natural to want to
take your time-to do things In our
w way.
The MIN who stands ut our elbow,
always urging us to speed up, ann0ys
US. We resent his .nagging. We feel
that we could do much better If we
were left alone.
But you will notice. If you are OBJ.
serving, that the boss doesn't waste
much time urging hopeless laggards
to work faster.
The reason ne keeps after you Is
because he has found out that you are
capable of speed. And if he can get
it out of you, thereby teaching you to
get it out of yourself, he has done you
a service.
Nobody hurries a turtle. 1t would
be utterly useless to do SO. The turtle
is utterly Indifferent as to whether he
ever gets anywhere or not. He speeds
up only when falling. off a log into the
water, and then only when he fancies
his life is in danger.
You ought to be complimented by the
demand that you do more 1t shows
that there Is something in you worth
~cultivating. Attention from the man
higher up is a good thing. He wouldn't
bestow it on you if you weren't worth
1t.

Something to
Think
RUNNING TIDES
By F. II. WALKER

WHERE the oceans, seas and riv-
w ers are, where happiness dwells,
where progress wends its way among
the nations. the tides are running day
and night in perfect harmony with the
mysterious force which is prompting,
swaying, driving and compelling every
animate creature to action.
Slowly we learn that these unfore-
seen tides which seem so irresistible,
SO destructive to our fondest dreams
and aspirations, can be made SUBJ
servient to our wishes, and how by a
stroke or two we may swim strongly
with their currents and reach our
goal.
To some of us the very thought Of
the constant motion Of these tides
suggests that they are opposing us,
seeking to- sweep us under, when in
reality they are intended to develop
our prowess to keep our heads above
the waters and carry US safely on to
our destination in spite of ourselves.
We balk at doing this or that be-
cause of opposition. We lack the cour-
age to breast the flood. In a moment
of despair we feel that it is preferable
to destroy our ambitions and forget
them than it is to make the fight.
1t is ~pleasanter to sit by the fire
and picture castles in the air than it
is to erect them on a substantial foun-
dalton. And frequently, while we are
thus idly dreaming, the tides pick us
up and whirl us off to some destitute
island. If in u temporary isolation
we regain our senses and see our
selves as we really are, we summon
our spiritual and physical strength
and Strike out boldly for the main
land.
Whatever Il sensations may have
been in the grip of such emotions, If
we have within US the right qualities,
we are likely later in our careers to
become more earnest, capable and pa
tient.
The old egotism, narrow ~selfshness
and cnurlish temper, which were pull
Ing us down beneath the waters, have
scurried away.
We have become more charitable,

IF l ASK
By GRACE E. HALL

TT l might ask of God one priceless
gift
To bless my life and make it
strong and fine,
To help me from the chaos ever sift
Those things which are immortal
and divine;
If it were granted that one blessing
fall
Upon my earthly path, my joy in
creasing,
I'd ask a broader charity towards all,
And in mankind a tender faith un-
ceasing.
If 1 might plead a second time. and
The favor that 1 craved all else
above,
I'd ask the power Il soothe another's
pain,
And arm some hopeless heart with
human love;
Then, when these gifts had both been
granted me-,
And God the last and choicest one
was sending,
ity,
And in my fellow-men a faith I'M
ending.
