"A Yankee went out walking,
while to himself talking, expe-
rienced feeling very strange,
painful and alarming from his
head to his knees; hesuddenly dis
covered he was covered DER with
bees! They rested on his eyelids,
and perched upon his nose, they
colonized his peaked face, and
swarmed upon his clothes. They
explored his swelling nostrils,
dove deep in t o his ears; they
'crawled up on his trowsers, and fill
ed his eyes with tears! Did he yell
like a hyena9 Did he boiler like a
loon? Was he scarf, and did he
cut and rum! or did. the critter
swoon? Nary one. He wasn't
scared a mite; he never swoons OF
