Bees and Fruit.

/ have often seen bees at work on
fruit that had been cracked, says a
writer in the American Bee journal,
or had been punctured or bitten by
other insects, but have never seen
a bee puncture, or try to puncture,

In nv orchard I have apples, pears
peaches, plums, cherries and ounces,
as we'll as a good list of small fruits
Bees are kept in all directions from
and within forty rods OF this orchard.
and yet do not believe l have ever
been damaged 20 the extent of 10
cents by the bees working on my
fruit My vineyard Of two acres lies
just in front of the apiary, and comes
within about 100 feet of it. The bees
have to pass directly over the vine
yard to reach the alfalfa fields Just
below, but have never been able to
detect bee at work on the grapes;
nor have l ever seen any sign of such
work. Sometimes, when the bees
are booming on the alfalfa. the now
ers are set to work, and in two or
three days all the alfalfa in bloom
within reach is cut for hay. The
bees are sadly demoralized, and may
be seen searching in every nook and
and corner for something to carry to
the hive. And yet no evidence of
their attacking the grapes has ap-
peared. True, all this is negative
and circumstantial evidence, yet it
does raise the presumption of the in
nocence or our little pets, and in the
entire absence Of any affirmative tes-
timOny, it carries all the force to
positive evidence. So far from being
an injury to the fruit CROP bees are
almost an essential aid in securing
the perfect fertilization of fruit

Horse Radish for Spring Use.
Horse radish is always left In the

TO THE BOYS.

| At the beginning Of the New Year is
it pertinent to ask what are you going
to do boys? 4 year will make wide
difference in your life, one way, or the
other; you can not help it. By an ever
lasting law Of evolution, nothing re-
mains unchanged by the lapse Of time
VIII you sit around aimIessly wasting
time, grumbling over the chores you
have to do, or shamelessly letting your
mothers do them for you? VIII you
sneak into barns, or secret places to
play cards, or shake dice, or in saloons
| for beer, wearing shabby clothes, that
the money thus wasted would replace
! by clean new ones. VIII you smoke
refuse stubs of cigars, or still more
harmful cigarettes, and loaf, and swag-
ger and cultivate rowdy WAYS? Or will
you do some work every day, if only
for the decipline Of doing? Deny your
self some idle hours, and compel
yourself by self denial to obey your
self? Make each day subservient to
your wishes for manliness? Is the will
week? Strengthen it by an enforced
obedience to your higher self which is
soul, until the soul, rules the animal
propensities. Force yourselves to be
square in your lives; do openly what
ever you do; let your II WHIP be for
your own sake, not cringing, hypo-
critical pretense before folks. WillyOu,
can you, have you stamina enough
to, eschew bad habits, indecent reading
or speaking, lazy, idle shiftIess prac-
! tees? If so there is 10 question what
the years results will be for you. Only
a few days ago two town boys were
turned from a saloon in this city where
''imprecunious loafers are not wanted"
and as they started for another, one
made the confession that he had only
eleven cents. Great Scott. eleven cents,
patched clothes, no oVercoat, slouchy
hat, and seeking q place with all the
sWagger and ridiculous assumption of
bigness possible in which to treat his
! friend?
Boys if you could realize that these
people who see you in these question:
able actions know all about you, know
perhaps how poor you 1--we at home,
| how hard some one works to keep you
III school, how the parents that trust
you and toll for you, and save and deny
themselves to do for you, shame would
make your cheeks Jingle, and your
buster and swagger would be revolving
What are you going to do boys? Be your
own boss, ruling yourself, or be ruled
by your bodily desires, evil thoughts,
and selfish wishes. "You, means your
soul. To be your Gown boss" is to let
soul rule over the life, and build high or
low as your soul in you commands
Look about you and decide that from
New Year 1898 to New Year 1894, your
mark Will be one not to be ashamed of
or lower than the best records Of your
neighbor.

T. E. Nash Private Secretary.

It gives us pleasure to note the fact
that there is some talk Of 7. f. Nash
for President CIeveland's private secre-
tary. Here at home where Mr.. Nash is
we'll known we believe him too good for
private secretary for even President
Cleveland. We want him right here at
home for the best interests Of the twin
cities demand it. If he must leave us,
nothing short Of the Presidency itself
will receive our consent to let him go.
The Madison Democrat has the follow
ing in a recent issue:
In the rush that is going on to fix a
cabinet for Mr.. Cleveland, that gentle
man will probably not forget that he
has to choose a private secretary. And
he may have greater difficulty in find
ing just the right kind of man for
that place than he will to fill positions
Of greater dignity but of far less
usefulness. Probably Mr.. Cleveland to
secure the right secretary, will have to
chip III from his own salary. The salary
allowed by congress for the presidents
private secretary is not at hand, but it
cannot begin to be sufficient to pay
such a man as Dan Lamont. The duties
require man of calibre. But the
salary does not warrant getting one. If
Mr.. Cleveland will make it an object
Wisconsin will furnish him a man who
will fill the bill.
Tom Nash is the man. He was the
private secretary of POStmaster-Gen-
eral Villas during Mr. Cleveland's for
mer term. And he convinced those
who came in contact with him that he
possessed the ability for Just that kind
Of business. And what is equally i'm
portant, that he also possessed the
tact.

a Great Country.

The following is an extract from
private letter received few days
ago from Bonanza, Custer county:
"The country from Stanley Bas-
in to Deadwood, including, of course
the Sawtooth, Cape Horn, Bear
valley and contiguous localities, is,
without a doubt, the grandest re-
gion for the summer tourist, the
miner, prospector, stockman and
sportsman that can be found any
where. There are quartz mines,
placer mines, fish lakes, warm
springs, vast meadow lands, and in
fact everything that goes to make
up a country of diversified inter-
ests, and once the State road is
completed that whole section will
wake up as out Of a dream. l have
seen enough of the country to salts
fy myself of it's attractions and re.
sources, and during the past two OF
three years have assayed great
many samples Of gold quartz from
the Deadwood country, and from
there to Seafoam there are many
good mines of silver and lead"

Our Great Cold Camp.


The Grangeville FREE PRESS says
that Elk City is "the greatest gold
quartz camp in the United States"
We should not be surprised if this
statement should prove to be true.
The information which reaches the
outside world from that district in
dicates that there are enormous
gold bearing lodges scattered over
a wide area. The ore is of fair
grade and, being in great quantities
it offers most attractive induce
ments for the operations Of large
companies. The world is looking
for gold; it is likely to be looking
for it still more earnestly in the
future; and a state that has within
its boundaries such undeveloped
gold lodges as those at Elk City
and those of many districts much
nearer this place, cannot fail to at.
tract mining capital. The building
of our state wagon road will star
the work of development; the
world will soon begin to realize
what we have in Idaho, and g
more prosperous era will soon b.
inaugurated.
