cral other Americans were present in

called cab, Emerson says one held his
hands while the other gobbled his watch
and money. He managed to get his
right hand free and drew a pistol with
which he killed one man and wounded
the other. The man who was wounded
claimed that Emerson drew his revolver
and that the two men grabbed to wrest

as the man Emerson killed, and it is be
licved from the evidence so far adduced
| in the case that Emerson will not be
severely dealt with.

ID, BIT of Experience Which Most Married
Folks Have Had.
George, DEAR" she said, night or
two before the wedding, ''do you think
it possible that our love and our mar
ried life can become the common
place, eoldly practical love and life of
the married people we see around us?
0. George, my heart would break if |
thought So"
"But it will not be So" said George,
passionately. "Welove each other too
tenderIy, too fondly for that. Our love
is not of the ordinary kind, my darling,
and our lives will not be so. All, no,
no, my angel; that can never be-"
And the other day she said:
Say, George, how would you like
baked beans for dinner, with pumpkin
pie dessert? You would? All right,
then, baked beans goes. And don't
you forget that bottle OF food for the
baby. or I'll send you back after it, and
mind that you don't keep dinner wait
ing"
And he, with a falling off of the pas
sion of ten years ago, says:
'All right, Lou; and l wish you'd
sew button on the back part of those
stripped trousers of mine; you'll find
them hanging over chair in our
room. Don't have the beans as dry as
the last were, and you watch the baby's
cold. That watering of the eyes looks
like measles to me. There's my car.

PLANTING FOR HONEY.
a Move That Is in Keeping with Moder
Agricultural Progress.

a Move That Is in Keeping with Modern
Agricultural Progress.
This subject is just now receiving
much attention. The attempt to make
more reliable and more profitable an
already remunerative pursuit by plant
ing for honey, is only in keeping with
the progress that agriculture has
made; and if the unfavorable season
just past has developed nothing more
than to show the desirability of artifi-
cial pasturage, 1888 will have no I'M
important place in its development.
We believe that much lies in store
for our industry, resulting from ex-
periments in this direction.
While our country is abundant in
natural fora, every section having its
flowers peculiar to it that bloom at
different times in the year, it may
be seen that q longer succession of
bloom can be had by the propaga-
ton of different plants. Not only SO,
but plants that are deep-rooted and
particularly adapted to dry countries,
may be equally we'll adapted to dry
seasons. Allow me to conjecture that
if the enthusiasm would be put in
this direction that has marked other
departures of the business, we would
be surprised at the results. Flowers
that now .'bloom unseen" so far as
their practical adoption by the bee
keeping fraternity is concerned, would
be brought into prominence. Yes,
flowers that to-day waste their sweet
ness on the desert air. would be culti-
waited for honey.
Rightfully the Government is lending
a helping hand in this direction. 1t
can afford it better than an individual,
and while we will watch with interest
Prof. Cooks acres of Rocky mountain
bee plant, Chapman honey plant,
pleurisy root and others, we would not
deprecate the Importance of individual
experimenting and research.
Almost every bee-keeper naturally
becomes, and should be, botanist,
and investigate fully the merits Of the
flora OF his viciu y, and those that
would thrive to advantage, and not
only investigate, but let the results of
f'is investigations be known. Western
