Joseph Brown, who works in the
lumber woods near Galeton, Pa, came
into town and got William Squires to go
with him to Bald Hill to help him gather
the stores from a bee tree he said he had
discovered on his way in from the woods.
81 heard the bees buzzing in the tree
while was five rods away from it,"
Brown said, ''or l wouldn't have dis
covered it,"
The men took with them three patent
pals to hold the honey, an ak to cut the
tree down, and lot of sulphur to burn
in the hollow for the purpose of smoth-
ering the bees. Brown led the way to
the. tree, but they could not hear the
humming. The tree was hit with the
AK and the humming struck up immedi-
ately and so loud as to startle the two
men. They found near the bottom of
the trunk hole where the occupants of
the tree had made their entrance and the
sulphur fire was started there, and its
sitting fumes went up into the hollow
tree. For time the buzzing inside was
terrific, but gradually grew. fainter and
fainter as the sulphur had its deadly eff
feet and finally ceased entirely.
Nov we'll cut her down and gobble
that stock of honey?" said Brown.
The tree was chopped down, and when
it fell and displayed its hollow interior
the two bee hunters were not only sur
prised, but Disguised. Instead of layers
of rich honey they were greeted by the
sight of q tangled mass of rattlesnakes,
which had been suffocated by the sui
phur fumes. The snakes had chosen the
hollow tree for their winter home.
There were fifty-eight large rattlers and
eight blacksnakes, a puff adder, and
three copperheads in the collection. The
noise Brown had thought was the buzz
ing of wild bees was made by the rat
Ting of rattlesnakes in chorus as he was
passing. Brown and Squires will get
about two gallons of oil out of the rattle
snakes, which will net them at least
800, so their queer bee tree will pan out
good days work after all.-Cor. New

Several hotels in this city use neatly
peeled and cubed potato as place in
which to stick the pens, kept handily
near the register. A man from else
where got to talking with Clerk Roney,
Of the Colonnade, about the idea yester-
day. "Why use potatoes ?" asked MIR.
Somebody, of Elsewhere. "They clean the
pens" said Mr.. Roney. "The acid of
the murphy neutralizes all the corrod-
ing principles Of the writing fluid I've
figured that it will take l7S bushels of
potatoes to supply city hotel counter
with these potato pen-wipers. The po-
tatoes have to be big ones, selected for
their size, and as soon as one gets black
another has to be sent for Philadel-
phia Press.

Buried Cities of New Mexico.

New Mexico and Arizona offer as
great field for psychologists as do the
lands where the empires of ancient days
flourished," said w. P. Metcalf, of AL
buquerque, N. M. can expedition left
Albuquerque only few days ago to seek
for treasure which traditions say is to
be found at Gran Quivera, 100 miles
from that city. Before the pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Rock there were
along the Rio Grande. Coronado, in his
history of the explorations made as early
as $780, wrote of the seven cities of
Cibola, describing them as of fabulous
wealth and magnificent beauty. The
ruins at Gran Quivera are believed to be
the ruins of one of those cities.
Coronado told Of abundant gold and
treasures in all of these cities, and many
expeditions have explored about Quivera.
The ruins indicate that a large city stood
there. The limestone walls mark out
the sites OF palaces, inconsistencies and
churches. A curious thing is that no
water can be found for fifty miles around
the site of the old city, although treasure
searchers have honeycombed the land
trying to secure a supply of water. No
treasure has ever been found there, but
the belief that it is located there ante
dates any traditions of the Mexicans or
Indians. just what prospects induced

THE distress in Russia is absolutely
appalling. 1t is frghtful thing to
know that twenty millions of people are
in danger OF death from starvation, in
single country, and yet, from latest ad-
vices, such appears to be the case. In
a nation so signally favored as the
United States, it is only natural that
such cry of distress should extort
sympathy and aid. Governor Boies, of
Iowa, has issued a proclamation asking
his people to succor the distressed peo-
pie OF Russia, and doubtless his appeal
will be largely responded to. The peo-
pie of Nebraska are about to send q
train-load of grain to the sufferers. The
millers of Minneapolis are following this
noble example. Undoubtedly this ini-
tiative will be followed everywhere.
Fortunately, in the United States,
every heart is open to the cry OF human
distress. What is California going to
do to alleviate misery more wide
spread than that which visited Egypt
in the days OF the lean kline! We have
great confidence that the response of the
Golden state will be spontaneous and
generous

GOVERNOR HUMPHREYS of Kansas in
dignantly denies that he intends to re-
sign SO that Lieutenant-Go Felt
may take his place, and appoint him to
the vacancy in the United States senate,
caused by the death OF Senator Plumb.
The fagrancy of deal of this character
and the public opprobrium it would ex-
cite, are the only obstacles to the posi-
bility Of such an intrigue materlalizing
in Kansas. In this state the governor
is ineligible to the Office OF United States
senator during the term for which he
was elected. The necessity OF such an
inhibition was shown by the fact that
Ill the early history of our state, the
gubernatorial Office was frequently made
the stepping to the United States
senatorship. A very pronounced and
scandalous instance in point was the
election of Milton S. Latham to the SEN
ate in a month after he had taken the
oath Of office as governor. There was
SO much scandal connected with this
fragrant abuse Of executive power that
the whole state agreed TO the soundness
of the inhibition placed in the new con-
Rtitution.

Tonight Mr.. Dan'l Sully will present
his new play entitled A Story Teller.
The sense OF the audience as to the
merits of the drama will be got at in a
novel way. Each person, on entering,
will be given two cards, one bearing the
word eyes," the other ''No." After
the curtain falls, the card which ex-
presses the holders opinion as to
whether the play is good will be taken
up at the door, and the result will be
held to indicate the public's judgment.

Miss Harrison last evening gave
another of her pleasant lectures at the
Y. M. G. A. auditorium, the subject
being the poet James Whitcomb Riley.
The programme was made up princi-
pally of readings from the poet and
interspersed with masic. Nine OF the
best known of the poets works were
read. Mrs. Mary Pierson presented a
pleasing violin solo, as did Mrs. Valen-
tine and Mrs. Horton duet on the

SAN FRANCISCO GETTING MOVE ON
HER.

1t is very strange that it has taken
San Francisco all these years t. awaken
to the fact that she has permitted her
most powerful factor in the problem of
commercial prosperity to remain in a
state OF "innocuous desuetude." San
Francisco became city simply because
her site was situated on one of the finest
harbors in the world. In ante railroad
DAYS her maritime commerce enabled
her to control the business of the coast.
But since the overland railroads have
spanned the continent, her merchants
seem to have fallen into a sort Of dry rot
They helplessly complained that their
business was diverted from them, and
that they could no longer control the
traffic OF the interior, because freight
rates gave them no advantage over
cities more eligibly located as to trans
continental transportation. Notwith-
standing they had the great free high
way Of the world attheir command, they
permitted the railroads to close their
port against competition and quietly
fell down before what they seemed to
consider the inevitable. 1t was in their
power at any time to establish a
line of freight steamers between San
Francisco and the great maritime ports
of the Atlantic states and Europe, and to
be able to undersell in all lines of heavy
and imperishable goods the merchants
of st. Louis and Chicago, on this coast.
1t was not until few months ago that
they were seized with an awakening,
and began to realize that through their
own apathy the commerce OF their city
was constantly diminishing. They now
begin to see the possibilities their stu
alton, and that the true key to the restora-
ton of the commercial supremacy OF
their city lies in its magnificent harbor.
They now propose to establish lines of
freight steamers between their city and
New York and Liverpool, to 60 by way
of the straits. The length OF the voyage
would be about sixty-fve days. Two
thirds of all the imports on this coast
could come that way, and the merchants
of Chicago, st. Louis, etc, who have
been heretofore carrying away nearly all
the business of the metropolis with the
interior, would find it impossible to send
their goods here and compete with the
cheap transportation rates of the ocean

LOS ANGELES PRETTY GIRLS.
What a Northern Paper Says of
Them,


In its last Issue the California News
Letter devotes an article to the pretty
girls OF the various towns south of San
Francisco. While the article in ques-
ton may be entirely just, still if the
authorship could be traced to any local
correspondent, his life would be in dan
ger. There are so many pretty girls
here that it would be hard to make
distinction without difference. But
the northern man can write to his
hearts content, as he is unknown.
The article, which may be OF interest
to few, reads:
Los Angeles is said to have more
other city in the union. The Misses
Childs are pretty, but really the pref.
test girls in the city are the Misses
Banning. Verses have been made in
the younger ones honor. Miss Lucy is
sparkling brunette, and it is said she
will capture baron, at least, in Europe.
There are several pretty Misses Rose.
The tall one has quite circle of admir-
ers. There are some pretty girls in the
army Miss Easton, the daughter of
the late General Easton is a vivacious
blonde and skiliul equestrienne. Miss
Bonebrake is a pronounced beauty Of
the blonde order. Miss Newton is
another pretty blonde. Miss Waddilove
Is as we'll known in Los Angeles as in the
north, and is claimed by several as be-
longing to Los Angeles. The Sabichi
young ladies are accounted among the
pretty girls.

MAJoR-GENERAL p. E. CoNNoR was
laid away with military honors at Salt
Lake last Sunday. General Conner
raised and organized the Third Califor-
mia regiment, one OF the six raised in
this state shortly after the outbreak OF
the civil war. His command was sta
toned at Salt Lake, and did excellent
service in holding the Indians in check
and keeping Mormondom from rising in
revolt. General Connor was "a pioneer
Californian, and was leading business
man and capitalist of Stockton when the
war broke out. Since the close OF the
rebellion he has been principally en-
gagged in mining, but with such poor
success that his last years were spent in
penury. He was brave, good man,
with noble impulses and an all-abound-
ing charity for his felow-men.

SENATOR STANFORD introduced quite
batch of bills yesterday, most of them
relating to the coast. Amongst those
making appropriations for public build
ings is one for Los Angeles. The dis
patch does not state the sum asked for,
but it is probably the amount limited at
heretofore, namely, $3.50 900. With that
sum tolerably decent federal building
could be- had here. But if San Fran
cisco is entitled to a building that is to
cost, with the lot, SO, 50O,OO to merely
accommodate the postoffice, Los Angeles
ought TO have building that would ac-
commodate all the federal courts and

TWO ATTACHMENTS.
A Grocery Firm and a Restaurant in
Difficulties.

Two attachments caused some talk
yesterday. The Seymour-Johnson COM
pany was the object of one case. 1t is
thought the firm, which does a large
grocery business, will be able to resume
by an amicable arrangement with it's
creditors.

Nadeau cafe, of which John Brink is the
proprietor, an attachment having been
put on the contents of the place by Jack
Skinner for 1913, which he claims is due
ment.
