FURY OF A SPIDER.
An Insect Tragedy at Seen Through a
Nagnifying Glass.
One day. iiiinaging in uu old desk, I
found a magnifying glass. It was
September, and in n sunny, weed rid
den corner of the garden I had dis
covered n big black and gold spider
who had strung her web between two
tall burdocks and was doing a thriving
business In grasshoppers.
Seated on the ground. I now sur
veyed her through the glass for an
hour as she hung In the middle of ber
engine of destruction. When I touch
ed the net with my finger she swung
frnntlcally to nnd fro, prompted doubt
less by some Instinct of self preserva
tion, but otherwise was as motionless
as If carved in Jet.
Grasshoppers were not very plenti
ful as yet. hut nt last a large green
fellow flew plump Into the tolls, the
spines on his legs that had so often dis
coursed sweet music becoming entan
gled. Instantly the crafty spider was
all alive. Darting upon her victim,
she took her station above blm, and.
banging by two legs, seized bim In her
other six and rolled bim round and
round, unswathing blm In a bnnd of
silver silk until he was us helpless as
a mummy, and then she bit blm In a
dozen places with fangs oozing with
poison.
At the spectacle of her evil eyes
glittering with the lust of killing, mag
nified n they were by the glass, I
turned sick and rolled over on my
face among the weeds and lay for a
long time miserably Inert. Atlantic

There Is it strange story of how Sir

was written nnd published before Mr.
Scott was nble to rise from his led,
and lie assured me when It was first
put Into Ids hands In a complete shape
thai he did not recollect n single inci
dent, character or conversation It con
tained The original Inc idents of the
story, which he had known from boy
hood, he still remembered, but he knew
no more shout the story he had written
than he did before he began to write
or even think about writing It" These

biographer, so that they are placed be

FRANCIS H. IRWIN
MEETSJAD DEATH
Acutely despondent after several
months of failing health, Francis II.
Irwin of Oak Grove shot himself
Thursday while on his way home from
town. As his ailment had been of a
nervous nature, which had at times af
fected his mind, It Is njt believed that
he was mentally responsible at the
time.
Mr. Irwin had come to town on some
errands. While passing the ball park
upon his return he stepped inside the
gate and shot himself through the
head. Death was instantaneous. No
inquest wa3 deemed necessary.
Francis Huntington Irwin was born
in Franklin, Pa., September 5, 1885.
Although the span of his life was hut
little over 27 years it was filled with
industry and achievement. From his
early youth his scholastic career was
notably successful. Graduating from
the Franklin High School, he entered
Washington and Jefferson College
where he graduated In 1!06 with first
honors In a class of 49 graduates. He
had previously been awarded the Jun
ior oratorical prize and also won the
standing cash prize for the ablest the
sis on a classical subject.
During the two years following his
graduation he was professor of his
tory, mathematics and English in the
Washington Academy, an adjunct of
the W. and J. institution, and then
taught for one term in the Franklin
High School. His health having be-'
come impaired, he sought the benefits
of a change to the outdoor life of the
Northwest and In the summer of 1!M9
located in the Oak Grove district of
the Hood River Valley, where he en
gaged in ranching. There he was sub
sequently Joined by his father, H. M.
Irwin, and I. is sisters, Misses Gertrude
and Mary Ixniise Irwin. In the win
ter of 1910 he taught in the Aberdeen
(Wash.) High School and last winter
was professor of Latin and Greek In
the Allen Preparatory School at Port
land. Both as student and Instructor Mr.
Irwin was always a popular favorite
with the younger people. Ilia sincerity
and wholesome cheer won their hearts

and, being proficient In gymnastics,
he was able to enter Into and lead In
their athletic pastimes.
The brea!t in Mr. Irwin's health oc
curred last rpring, a nervous p'ostra
tion, due to the stain of overwork.
Although making occasional rallies,
his general condition steadily failed
and his mental faculties finally be
came Involved. For at least a month
before his tragic end he suffcud from
acute melancholia, with its atteudant
despondency, was bewildered and Irra
tional at times, and at the last was un
doubtedly Irresponsible for his acts.
Mr. Irwin brought the fraternal col
lege spirit to his new home, and was
a member of the University Club of
Hood River and vicinity. He was al
ways actively interested in the Y. M.
C. A. and gave that cause his best
service. He was a member of the
First Presbyterian church of Portland.
All his life, from boyhood, he was a
genuine Christian, always squaring his
practice with his profession. He mark
ed out a plain path for himself, set a
correct standard, and held a straight
course. He had many sincere friends
in this vicinity. Those who knew hini
appreciated his beautiful c'.. . i.

was conducted by Rev. E. A. Harris,
pastor of the Congregational church,
who gave a brief discourse appropriate
to the occasion. The only music was

hymn, "Jesus Calls Us," which was a
