Bill Wye on the Hornet.


 I have made small collection of wild western things during the past seven years, and have put them together, hoping some day when I get feeble to travel with the ag- gregation and erect large monument of ko- pecks for my executors administrators and assigns forever.
 Beginning with the skull of old Hi To- Jack a. d-the-game, Sioux brave, the col lection takes in my wonderful bird known as the Walk-up the creek, and another TurG a0is, with carnivorous bill and web feet, which has astonished every one except the taxidermist and myself An old grizzly bear hunter-Who has ploughed corn all his life and doa't know coyote from Maverick steer--looked at it last fall and pronounced it ''kingfsher ;'' said he had killed one like it year ago. Then knew that he was a pilgrim and stranger, and that he had bought his buckskin coat and bead trimmed moccasins at Niagara Falls, for the bird is constructed of an eagles head, 8 canvas back ducks bust and feet, with the balance sage hen and baled hay.
 Last fall desired to add to my rare col lection large hornets nest. I had an em- balmed tarantula and her porcelain lined nest and desired to add to these the gray and airy home of the hornet. I procured one of the large size after cold weather, and hung it in the cabinet by string. I forgot about it until this spring. When warm weather came something reminded me of 1t. think it was a hornet He logged my memory in some way and called my atten- tion to it. Memory is not located where thought it was It seemed as though wherever he touched me he awakened a memory-a warm memory, with red place all around 1t.
 Then some more hornets cane and be- gan 10 rake up old personalities. I re- member that one of them lit on my upper lip. He thought it was rosebud. When he went away it looked like a gladiola bulb I wrapped a wet sheet around it to take out the warmth and reduce the swell ling so that could go through the fold ing doors and tell my wife about it.
 Hornets lit all over me and walked around on my person. I did not dare to scrape them of because they are so sensitive. You have to be very guarded in your con- duct toward hornet.
 I remember once while I was watching the busy little hornet gathering honey and June bugs from the bosom of rose, years as a practical joke than anything else and was when I wore my own hair-and he walked around through my gleaming tresses quite awhile, making tracks as large 8 watermelon all over my head. If he hadn't run out of tracks my head would have looked like load of summer squashes. l remember I had to thump my head against the smoke house in order to smash him, and had to comb him ont afterward with @ fine comb and wear 8 waste. paper basket two weeks for hat
 Much has been said of the hornet, but he has an odd, quaint way, after all, that is forever new.
