In midsummer the writer wit- : ne-si'd a ciimljiit in tin Texas Pan handle district lictween a honied toad ami a lurjiu tarantula. The toad made rapid drives at the taran tula, critipliiiL!; it hy tin l,oss of one le'. Soon the tarantula fastened itself by its ii til to all eyelid of the toad and heroically endeavored to do as much harm as possible. As soon us the. toad was free of its foe it ran to a nearby cactus, cut through the thin greenish skin, sucked vigorously at the scant juice and then rubbed the wounded eye lid against the dani) liber of the cactus. Now wits the battle renewed. Part of another leg was lost by the taran tula, and again was an eyelid of the toad attacked. Again was the cactus sought, and the same ac tions resulted as when the first eye lid was wounded. The toad was readily rejuvenated hy the cactus fluid and soon returned to give hat lie. Pierce was the struggle once more. In the meantime the writer kicked the small cactus be yond reach of the toad. Again was the toad bitten by the huge spider, and again it sought the place where the cactus stood. . Disappointment was evidenced hy the wounded creature in riot find ing the plant as before. The toad sat seemingly meditating for sev eral" seconds, then hurried hither and thither in search of the plant to no avail. The battle was again taken up, though it was apparent that I he load was in distress and laboring tinder a handicap of some painful sort. Soon it began quiver ing. It panted and feverishly play ed for time. Presentl" the tarantula fastened t ."b. . ! i itself Id .ii c-.ibd of the plucky ciuiibalalil and initially spit poison ill I it us rye mid lle.-h. When S'cm in;;lv salis:d. the t.ir.uitula releas ed its Iml I, eyed its victim fur a second, then hobbled away; while the toad sank closer and closer to earth in the throes of death and swelled as if full of virulent poison. It finally gave up the ghost after such a h.iille royal, mure defeated by man than by ail enemy of Ihu plains. The cactus plant has alTordeil man a strong heart tonic for many years, and from the use this liltle horned warrior of the plains made of the cactus lluid as an antidote for tarantula poison man may yet find in thi- prickly, apparent nuis ance of the sciuiarid regions of the great southwest an antidote for many poi-ons hitherto considered almost universally fatal, for where nature's creatures go ami partake by instinct and grow well and hale man. the reasoiter, may learn vast secrets for the healing of humanity. 1. S. Lambs in St. Louis Re public. Faithful to Hit Friend. Toole and Irving were friends from the das when they were both struggling beginners. On one oc casion Irving was lo oe presented to (ticen Victoria and was delighted at I he honor. An ollicious court functionary took it. upon himself to tell the player "not to mention this mailer oul.-ide" lest other actors, such as Mr. Toole, might think that they should be presented too. "Let me tell von, sir," said Irving, "that Mr. Toole is not only a deservedly renowned comedian: he is also a truly Christian gentleman. Toole often saved me from adversity, per haps starvation, when I was un known. If John L. Toole is not worthy to be presented to her most gracious majesty neither is Henry Irving. I wish you good day, sir!" London Standard. A Wonderful Memory. Ilorfensius, the great lioman law yer and orator, had a memory of exl raordinai'v scope and tenacf iy. After composing a speech or oration he could repeat it word for word exactly as he had prepared it. On one occasion he went to an auction, where the business was carried on during an entire day. and at even ing, for a wager, he wrote down a lisl of the articles that had been sold and the prices, together with (In- names of the purchasers, in the order in which the purchases had been made. j o'itlNAN'c;: N'o. li..: All olllllllltll't' In IHIli'lill Tlinii i I tiiuiiiitm-i- No. us In tin' iIihIiim III' till- Willi I i 1 1 f fl'nlll ii'rl!.V I !' j litl lllltt plirl lit .l.ti kKun Mirrt l . !
