PENoBsCor.
Mr.. John A Jordan, Bangor has rich store
of honey at his residence in Stets On. In the
early part of last June large swarm of bees
settled in an unused chimney of Mr.. Jordan's
main house. OF course this action was at
once noticed, and some of the men employed
about the farm quickly climbed upon the
house with a bee hive and placed it over the
chimney. The bees, however, refused to be
dislodged from their comfortable resting place
and so after a while they were left undis-
turbed. They worked busily throughout the
summer and Mr. Jordan knows there is an
immense amount of honey in the chimney,
but how to get it out is a question that is hard
to solve Wing.
