with. The colony being robbed should be
allowed to remain where it is. Changing
it from one position to another in the
vicinity does more injury than good; it
should be removed a mile or more from
the neighborhood. If the bees show any
disposition to protect themselves. rob5ing
may be checked by simply contracting
the entrance. But i the inmates make
10 resistance whatever, a large sheet or
covering of light cloth may be thrown
over tbs entire hive. The bee tent, now
much used by apiarists TO repei robbers,
is the best for this purpose. This Is
made to cover the hive, allowing room for
the apiarist TO work inside. This or
mosquito netting, drawn over a light
frame, may be used for this purpose.

HOME AND GARDEN
A POOR MANS COOK.
BIZ Il, c. DODGE.


Though Wander bit has got a cook
That all the world are cycling,
Ny little wifey-wIth her book
Can beat him without trying
In dainty apron snowy white,
And dimpled arms ashoTing,
And eyes a-spCrsling with delight
And looking, oh, SO knowing.
And -four on her rosy face
She IN the kitchen airy.
Performs her wonders with u e srace
And magic CT fairy.
Her little fists that pound the dough
AS hard as they are able,
Cause miracles at once ID grow
Around her On the table.
Her cakes as sweet as she herself;
Her bread is even sweeteT;
Her pies and buildings ahI no pelf
Can buy a cook 20 beat her.
Her jams and j4llies and preserves
Are prizes to discover.
And she the best of all preserves
For me-becaus} love her.
And when it comes to solid food
| know there is no other
That can dinner make so good
Not even my own mother.
Though Vanderbilt has got a cook
Who'll make him hungry-may be
He, TO my wiley with her book,
at cooking is baby.

ed the following resolutions, which

The democrats of Stew ems County in con-

That arraign the republican party OF
Stevens County for insinccrity and desire
to deceive the electors by announcing its
adherence to the National Republican plat
form" in ono breath, and calling for "a Iadi-
cal reduction of the tariff i'll the next. This
is the height of Inconsistency.
That we view with contempt their at'ort to
stagger prohibition votes by-atter endorsing
Minnesota's hgh-Gcense law-asking for
"oounty option" or, county regulation OF
the liquor traffic.
That we will not out, of hand resolve that
the democratic national, stste and county
tickets be elected this fall, " but do resolve to
invite those no are in favor of a reduction
of the tariff join the democratic party IN its
efforts to effect that reduction.
That in Hon. c l.. Brown, Judge Of the
10th Judicial District, the democrats OF Ste
vens County recognize one for whom they
can conscientiously ask an unanimous demo-
cratic indorsment. This Is in keeping with
democratic sentiment always. The judiciary
is the bulwark Of our liberties and a just
Judge commands the support OF all parties.
Its further resolved that the steps neces-
sary to the putting into effect of this, our
unanimous decision, be left to the county
committee to be appointed by this convention.
The chairman was instructed TO ap-
point a county committee of five, one

Last Saturday evening Hon. Albert

Last Saturday evening Hon. Albert
Scheffer and T. C. Hodgson addressed
a large audience at court house hall.
While the latter spoke In somewhat
independent strain the former was
particularly bold in his advocacy of
sound, out.and out democratic princi-
pies. Mr.. Scheffer is an able and en-
tertaining speaker, having the rare
faculty of holding the attention of his
audience through a two hours cam
paign speech. In his clearly defined
views on the tariff question and the
financial policy of the government
there is nothing to VIII ich democrats
can except. But they wonder at the
Inconsistency Of the man, who-while
preaching democratic doctrine-de-
e,ares his unwavering fidelity to the
republican party and persists in call
ing himself good republican.
