YEAR SER Young Citizens |! Lincoln and the Slaves ! BY R. 5. ALEXANDER | "Old Abe's looking mighty frisky' { this morning," said Hunting Eye's | friend; the mayor, looking. at the statue of Lincoln in front of the town hall. "But he has a right to look that wari it's his' birthday." 'Who was Old Abe and what did he for asked the boy from the North oods. "His real name was Abrakam Lin- | coln and he freed the slaves." "Slaves! What are they?" "They were persons who were owned by other people. Lo 0, when two 'peoples or nations fought, members of the nation which con- uered took' the men and women of je other as slaves; that is they made them their Property and forced them to work for them. The white mea who first came over the Great Water made slaves of many of your people in this fashion. , ° "Shortly after the white men be-, to come over the Great Water, 'commenced to bring with them men from Africa as slaves. ! These black men were still wild and uncivilized without improved methods of warfare, Thus they were easy to capture. These slaves were needed in the southern part of the country to help grow cotton. The industry of the north was so organized that it could not use them. So they were sent most- ly to the south. "Gradually people began to féel that slavery was wrong. ngland, one of the greatest of the nations across. the Big Water prohibited it nearly one hundred years ago. The people in the north of this country wished at that time to follow land's example. But the people in the land of cotton, who had grown up among the slaves and bad been trained by the conditions about them to think that slavery was right, did not wish to abolish it. "The controversy over the question became hotter and hotter until, finally, it resulted in the great war which we wll the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln > & W A Aw = Semana Limca was the leader of the party which was posed to slavery. For four long years the conflict lasted. During the war, Lincoln issued the famous Ehaneipa- tion Proclamation which declared that the shaves should be free. Under his leadership, the north was victorious." "But don't the eople of the south hate the north and Lincoln?" "No, this was like a quarrel between: two brothers. No matter how hard they may fight each other they love cach other just the same after they get over their anger. Both north and south now see that slavery was wrong and are glad that it was abolished, So both pay tribute to the great Lincoln." (Tomorrow: Dr. Angell Will Tell How to Stand on Your Head.)

The feet are fitted with comb-like claws. These claws are usually three in number, one being 'a great deal smaller than the two main ones. On the climbing spiders the third toe is replaced by a bunch of stout hairs. The feelers are six jointed and leg- like. On the female spiders they are small and hooklike and are used for an extra pair of hands used for grasping prey and carrying cocoons. The male's feelers are club-like. The jaws consist of a base which often contains the poison gland, add the fang which is like a hook and ean . be folded down upon the base like a jack knife. Near the tip of the fang is a small orifice leading to the pei- son gland through which the poison against her sides. - The string he had held in his hands a few seconds be- | Tull Food Value "is secured from a dish of Yt is. oasily SH WHIG x etter arte ree ee -- is ejected into the spider's fang. The spider possesses from two to.eight simple 'éyes, usally being eight. Sometimes the eyes are raised to en- able the spider to see in several dir- ections but as a rule spiders are by no means keen sighted and depend more on the sense of touch than on their powers of vision. The egg bags or cocoons of spiders vary a great deal but they are all started in much the same way, The spider first weaves a little soft pad, on this she lays her eggs, she then puts over this another layer of silk. The egg bags when finished are fas- tened in" crevices, under stone walls, clap-boards etc, Some spiders dg not trust all their eggs to ome cocoon but make several small cocoons and string them in chaifs on their webs. Although a spider is a spider, di- rectly it hatches from the egg, it is not until after a series of months it becomes a perfect spider. Soon after the young spider has cast off its first skin it usually Iéaves the shelter of the cocoon; sometimes whole famil- ies of spiders live together" for. a week or two before they leave and during this time they do not feed. As soon as desire for food is awakened, the young spiders begin to prey on minute form§ of insects and if there is a scarcity of them, they will begin to devour each other. In the spring and in early autumn quantities of these little spiders may often"'be seen crowding on the tops of walls preparing for a flight. When about to set out on its aerial fours ney the young spider faces the wind and straightens out all his eight legs raising its body high in the air and is borne lightly in the breeze. Then it is wafted to the ground. . The young sp'ders must be through nine moults -before they are adults. Casting the skin is often a consider- able effort to the animal and in its struggles, it occasionally loses a limb, but this is not such a serious matter to a spider for it has the po- wers of forming lost parts and at the next moult the limb will be re- placed though somewhat smaller.-- Jack H. Baker, junior fourth class, Victoria School, age 12. Wit and Fomor, He Was Dubious About It.
