If he starts a two-penny business, bis
first thought is to bribc the local with
five cent cigar to write five dollar

of the local to make his fortune for

HONEY BY THE TON.

In Los Angelo3 County. On the east
ern slope Of the San Francisco range
Of mountains, and in the immediate
vicinity of the Leaning Petroleum
Company's oil region, there is the
most wonderful collection Of wild
honey in existence. The hive is locat,
ed in a rift, which penetrates the rock
to the depth, probably, of 100 feet.
The oriiico is thirty feet long and sew.
entecn feet wide; four passages. The
rift was discovered to hc ne ayidino
place of swarm Of bees that is reb'
resented as coming out in a nearly
solid column one foot in diameter.
Certain parties have endeavored to de.
scend to the immense store of honey
collected by these boes but were in
variably driven back, and one man
lost his life in the effort. Others have,
at the expense of much labor and
money, built Il scaiiold Il 12j feet high
in the hope Of reaching place whence
they could run a drift into the rock
and extract its well boarded sweets
but finally ceased their work. With.
in four years the bees have added not
less than fifteen feet of depth to their
treasure, as ascertained by actual
measurement, and it is thought that
at the present time there cannot be
less than eight or ten tons of honey in
the rock. a man named ID. Brophy
lives in a cabin not far from the SPOT.
and obtained from tho melting of the
honey by the suns heat more than
enough for his family requirements.
All through that region immense
stores Of wild honey are found in trees,
in the rocks, in nearly every place
where its industrious manufacturers
think of-for bees seem to think--tbat
il is secure. They consume a very
small proportion, as the climate en-
abIes them to keep up operations near.
~ every day in the year, and flowers
OF some sort are always in bloom. 1t
must be a very severe season indeed
when the little fellows are not seen
abroad in vast numbers, busily engag
ed in their melliiluous work.

GENERA LArAyrrrn,s wArcn.

1t is doubtless within the recollec.
ton Of many that in the year 1924
General Lafayette made a tour of this
country, attended by such an ovation
as offered, perhaps, the grandest spec
tacle Of n Nations. tribute to hero
the world has ever seen. During his
tour, while on a visit to some town in
the State of tennessee, the General
was mysteriously robbed of his watch,
valuable souvenir, which had been
presented to him in 1881, by General
George Washington, to commemorate
at once the afiectionate relations which
had long existed between them, and
his gallant services at the seige of
Yorktown, the crowning event in the
struggle for American independence.
Directly upon the robbery becoming
known, most strenuous efforts were
made for its recovery, but, despite the
fact that the Governor Of Tennessee
offered a reward of $4,000 for its
return, not the slightest trace of it
was thereafter obtained, and General
Lafayette was eventually compelled
to return to France, resigned 70 the
thought that the precious gift of his
dear friend was lost to him forever.
The years passed on, and with their
lapse mems recollection of the circum-
stance faded away. Lafayette died in
1884, and for space of forty.eight
years the stolen watch bore an un-
known history. At the end of that
time, but few days ago, gentleman
residing in this city, while visiting
Louisville, attended an auction sale
at a junk shop, where, strange to re-
late, he found among the articles offer
ed watch which, upon examination,
he discovered to be the long lost watch
Of Lafayette.
Suffice it to say that he eagerly pur-
chased it, and as quickly formed the
resolution to transmit it to the family
Of General Lafayette, now residing in
Paris; pending which transmission,
however, the gentleman has brought it
to his home, aud has consented to its
exhibition for a few days at Il. A. Ty-
ler's jewelry store, on Canal street.
The watch is open,iaced, Of gold,
with double case, and may be re.
marked as Of 3 peculiar appearance,
being of only ordinary size, but near.
ly as thick as it is wide. The outer
case bears upon its entire surface cary

LIQUOR DRINKING.
