Imparting the Bee Odor.

Glucose is only three cents a pound
while honey usually sells for twenty
cents. 1t is an easy matter to sell bo-
gus honey, and have it stored by the
bees for that purpose. 1t is disguised
by the bees because they impart to u
the bee odor, or honey flavor, though
It Is really not honey. The bees gather
glucose, sugar, molasses, or whatever
the material may be, and simply de-
posit it in the combs. They do not
change it in the least. but allow 1t 10
become of the proper consistency ior
Gaping it over, and the glucose is 'nen
sealed in the comb the same as genuine
honey. This kind of adulteration may
ba lawful. but il is deception. never

ing the bees the agents through whlon
glucose is deposited in the combs ~,
stead of honey.--Farms, Field a'4

CONVICTED OF MURDER.

Albert Odcll and James Lamb, Pair OF
Indian Territory Murderers. Convicted OF
Their Crime.
FORT SMITH, Ark, Sept. l9.-Alberl
Odell and James Lamb, two more Indian
Territory murderers, were convicted in
the United States Court here last night.
Their crime was the murder of Ed Pol
lard in the ChickaSaw Nation last
December. Lamb and Odcll became in.
innate with the wives OF Pollard and
Brassicld, and formed a conspiracy to
kill these men and take their wives.
BraSsGed became alarmed and fed to
Arkansas, but Pollard remained, and on
the 2Gth OF last December Mrs. Pollard
sent him to Lebanon, little town not far
distant to get some supplies. She then
notified Lamb and Odell of Polard's
going and they met him on the road and
murdered him. Two days later Odcll
was married to Mrs. Brass field anu Lamb
aud Mrs. Pollard wanted TO be married,
but the minister refused to marry them.
They lived together, however, until ar
rested. All were indicted, but the case
against the women was nole prosecuted
and they were held as witnesses for the
the prosecution, but the testimony was
sufficient TO convict them had the case
not been dismissed. All Of these parties
are white. On the trial each defendant
tried to saddle the murder on the other
and each prosecuted the other.

One gets a vivid sense Of the different

delicatcly unobtrusiye intimation OF 4
bue-pcncl line, the fact that YOU have
repeated word three times in the space
of short paragraph. You have to ind
a substitute. Ii is easy to think OF haf
a dozen terms that stand for very nearly
the same idea, but if is in the incOngru-
Gus implications of them all that tho
difficulty lies You consult your Book
of synonyms, and find there nearly all
you have already thought Of, but never
any others. There is, however, ono
further resource. You have had from

There are many varieties of alleged and
well advertised reforms in the world which
do not reform anything. And some Of
these varieties are claimed to be religious.
They are the growth of good intentions, but
they are superfcial-not radical. Ihey
clip the ends of the branches OF the Upas
tree, but do not strike at the roots. The
platforms of these reformatory agencies, or
movements. abound in negative PROPOSE
tions. People are required not to do ior to
stop doing a thousand things, and TO do a
thousand other things in different ways
in a phrase, TO indulge in
reformatory work of an entirely exterior
nature; to refrain from vices, 10 eschew
hurtful indulgences, to observe the Sabbath,
to read the Bible, 10 join in public worship,
and to do, and not do, numberless things
all OF which is very well. so far as it goes,
If II is thorough and complete and goes far
enough-which ii never does, except when
pushed on broader and more radical basis.
Reform work, prosecuted on this general
plan, is simply phariseeism. 1t relates to
the cleansing and polishing of the outside of
the platter. Ii aims 10 observe the letter
of the law which is all very well. 1t pro
NOTES good citizenship, good order, public
protection and the observance of the stat
utes, but is not in the direction of true re-
form. 1t does not cleanse and purify the
the inside of the platter.
The essential thing for men to do, and
the very first thing which they ought TO do,
is to decide to do exactly the right thing in
all circumstances, to enter upon a life of
purity, cOHscientiOusness, devoutneSs, de-
votion-to render TO God and to man all
that is due TO each; to lead lives of cleanli-
ness, usefulness and unselfishness; in a
word, to initiate in spirit and action the
highest and grandest pattern ever given to
men, and TO do this from conviction of
duty and privilege. This purpose reaches the
very root of al right human action; in this
purpose lies inspiration, comfort, courage
and all required aid TO completeness and
grandeur in right doing and living. Work
in this direction is radical and effective.
The heart is the place where all effort
should begin. for when the heart is right
when the purpose is clean. pure and strong
the action will be correct in all respects.
Mems minds must first be convinced, their
hearts changed, and their purposes pointed
in the right direction, and then, with right
instruction and training, they can be trusted
to do the right thing, in all circumstances.
For reform work, to be complete, must
first convince and change, and then instruct
and lead. All men should be as strict as
the Pharisee i'll the observance of law and
rightful custom-should be careful and exact
in such hobservance-butS should do this out Of
respect for law and from purpose TO do right
to honor God and TO benefit mankind
should supplement and amplify this by an
unselfish, earnest and active life devoted to
the highest interests of men-Of communi-
ty. the nation and the world. Such life
did Abraham Lincoln lead. Like the divine
model-ae lived not unto himself, but lived
and died for others.
