Forluas Battl* to Iho Doath. 1 once had a spider pet of a kind the books enabled me to Identify. lie was a flue big fellow. 1 caught him in the garden, carried him home, and for nearly two months he and I took a close interest In each other, be for the flies 1 Introduced to him and 1 for the amusement he introduced to me. I kept him In a milliner's box, letting him out when 1 visited him, especial ly delighting myself with allowing him to drop from one hand by his flue spun thread and then either catching him In the other or gently compelling him to climb back again by appar ently eating his own ladder. One day I captured another spider of the same species. 1 kept him for a few days in a separate box, and then, with the kindly Idea of companionship, I Introduced him to Tiger. I have seen dogs tight; I have seen chan ticleer tight and slay his man; I have seen rams tight till, with his skull crushed in. one lay dead at the foot of the other; I have seen men tight; but the fullest sense I ever realized of matl, murderous passion let ungov ernably loose, centered In one destroy ing aim and summoning every physic al energy to Its devilish service. I realized when those two spiders rush ed to mortal combat. 1 stood In boy ish tem>r as their tangled legs drop ped off, torn by mutual rage; and as with vicious dexterity they struck each other with their poisoned fangs, using for their own destruction the weapons and appliances with which nature has provided them for the capture and slaughter of their prey, I visibly turned pale. Tiger was the victor, but even while with brutal wrath, all mangled as he was, he bit and spurned his dead and limbless foe he was seized with symp toms I took to be paralytic, and In s minute or two I helped him to his death. And this fearless gladiator was afraid of. I remember, and never would tackle a, big bluebottle fly. What la courage?—Dundee Advertiser.

G. ; > ' EASY DOOR FASTENERS.'* Ouly Oar' Kind of I.orlc th« TrrpaH lluriclar Cun't Pick. “There's only one lock In the world that I can't open If you'll give me a few minutes at It. and as for ordinary dot and drawer lock*, I’ll open them as easily ns if there was no lock there. Any expert burglar can do the Baine.” The foregoing statement was msde by an experienced locksmith of Kan sas City. "Few persons know how Insecure j their home* are,” ho continued. “Few person* realize that the average lock I Is absolutely worthless for keeping oat i an cxiierlenced burglar. Tbs ordinary I door lock Is good for nothing but re- ■ minding casual business or social call ers that they musUMcg to Ite admitted. None of these graluary ‘door fmStMS- ers,’ and that's the best you can catft them, will deter a burglar two whoto minutes. If there's no key In the look, he soon fits one to It. If there Is a key j In the lock, he Inserts s pair of pinch ers and In ten seconds has It opsnad. ! Understand me. I am speaking of the ( experienced burglar. The clumsy bor- ' glar Is the one who gets la troubla. lie’ll fumble around with a lock antll ' somebody hears him. There la only one unplckable lock made. That’s the 1 six pin lock used by the government. { It will defy any expert. There are she little steel pins In the lock, which have to be raised just a certain dis tance to open It. Some of the pins are one-fourth of an Inch long and some of them a half Inch, if one of the pins lacks even a hairbreadth of being raised the proj>er distance, the lock will not open, it baffles all tbe ex perts.” This locksmith Is so expert be can open the majority of safes by putting his ear to the combination and listen ing to how the tumblers click tnlo place as he turns It. *T Intended at one time to be a bur glar,” this locksmith declares. “I had It all planned out—even had a act of burglar's tools made. Then I decided that honesty was tho best policy, and I stuck to my trade.”—Kansas OUy Star. ETIWAN FERTILIZERS For All Crops and For Big Crops.
