NATION’S DEBT TO PILGRIMS
Thelr Famous Compact of Government Rightly Treasured as a Great : State Document.
In the harbor &t the tip of Cape Cod occurred the first birth and the first death among the ul"l’l:rlm in America. On board the Mayflower, as she lay at anchor, was born Peregrine, son of Willlam and Susanna White. Here was another child for the ship's nursery, already occupled dy little Oceanus Hopkins, who first saw the light of day far out at ses, , The death was that of Dorothy May, wife of Willlam Bradford, future governor of Plymouth colony. She was drowned. : First of importance, however, of all that occurred here, and also in the sequence of events, was the drawing up and signing of the famous compact of government, originally designated by Bradford in his history as “a combination.” And so it was, in the most literal sense, a combipation, - This agreement, made in writing py a little group of Englishmen who had been dismissed by thelr mother country as “good riddance to bad rubbish,” is now treasured by the nation in America, to which they contributed as much as one of three great documents. The other two are the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
Begone Dull Facts.
Two friendly little neighbors, aged respectively 414 and 0 years, recently seated themselves on the curbstope near my windows for a religious discussion. It seemed they bhad overheard some grown-ups repeating a recent prophecy of a certain eect as to the Imminent end of the world and were greatly exercised at the report. The elder child, a fair-halred skeptic from a narthern state, scornfully declared that he didn't believe the story; but the swarthy, dark-eyed little Texan solemnly asserted: “Yes, it's true; I know (t's true; foh this mo'min’ I read it in mah Bible.” The midget doesi't know one letter of the alphabet from another, but he refuses to be pinned down to vulgar facts when his spirit wishes to soar. Are children of the period brighter than thelr predecessors? At his age I am sure I could not have fibbed with so solemn and convincing an air.—Los Angeles Times.
Malignant Ghost.
Last Christmas, a house in Leeds was visited by an amazing ghost, A women, returning home, went into the kitchen to warm herself at the fire. Suddenly she was startled to see two long white arms emerge from the flames. Nearer and nearer they came, until they gripped her arms above the The touch was iike red hot iron, and she fell fainting to tha ground. When ghe recovered she wag surprised to find that there had been no fire in the grate. She visited a doctor, who examined her arms and found distinet signs of burns. This was afterward corroborated by another doctor.—London Mail,

ADVOCATES SPIDER AS PET
Hllincls Woman Tells of Her Experl once With insect Not Univensaily : Popular,
~ Educating & spider is & task rarely ‘undertaken. Mrs. Elizabeth Marriott Moffat, of Wheaton, 111, one of the fow students of spiders In the country, however, set herseif to it and this is what she writes of her experience:. “By far the most common spider in this country is the one kpown as the Slack-and-brown speckled spider, Agelena nsevia,” sald Mrs. Moffat “The species, although called the gar den spidery Is often found In our houses, where It builds a fiat sbeet web 1o some corner, always bhaving & fuanel at the rear, into which the spider can escapd when disturbed. The body is from one-haif to three-quar ters of an inch In length. At the back end two of the spinnerets project, looking ltke little pointed talls *A fully grown specimen was captured and put into a wide-mouthed half-ounce bottle. This was lald on its side on the library table. Every day she was given a small drop of water and one or several house flles The flies were fed to her by placing one In a bottle similar to that in which the splder was caged, placing a card over the mouth of the bottle that contained the fly, withdrawing the cork from the spider’s bottle, placing the two botties mouth to mouth, and then removing the card. \ “At once the spider would rush into the second bottle, selze the fly and re turn with it to her own bottle. She soon learned to run to the mouth of her bottle whenever I approached her with water or a fly. o “After a few days the cork was taken out of her bottle so that she could come and go at will, She would wander about the table, crawling over and around books and papers, but always retreating to her bottle when frightened. She had bullt a small web In it, with a crude retreat at the further end and had adopted it as her home. “She learned so readily to come for food and water that I am led to wonder whether Fabre's contention that every act that a spider performs is ‘impelled by an Instinct that has come down to it through untold generations,’ is not subject to some modification.”— St. Joseph Gazette, ‘ .
Shark Fishing New Industry.
Shark fishing on the Pacific coast of Canada is reported as having developed Into an established industry. Shark fishermen are making money, and are also making records in big creatures caught. The -bq:n are what is known as the “mud” varlety, ground feeders at great depth and entirely iarmless to human beings. They live In great numbers in the deep inlets of the coast and are valuable for their livers, their skins and the fertilization values of their flesh and bones. At Maln island, on the coast near Vancouver island, the shark fishermen are catching very large mud sharks at a depth of 100 and 125 feet. Some have been 83 feet long, and one skipper of a coast steamer declares one body he saw was at least forty feet long from nose to tail. ; e G
Not 8o Wonderful,
This 1s a “neighborhood story”™ from down Belleview way: At a party In a rural home some of the country swalns were jealous of a city chap who seemed to be able to entertain the ladles with small talk and witty sayings. : One of the older guests sald to ane of the disgrintled youths: “That city feller is pretty smart, ain’t he?” “Thinks he s : “Says some funny things, don't he?" With a grunt of contempt the rural swain exclalmed: “Huh.. I could say smart things, too—if I could only think of 'em.”= Youngstown Telegram.
