shalk. a leading business man OF Lans-
dale, Pa Several days ago he was ex-
tracing honey from a hive, when Il
pagRacio1s little bee lighted upon his

Godshalk at once suffered the most
intense pain. He had often been
sigRg in hsadIing bees, but had never
experienced sgeh agony before He
applied few simple remedies, such As
all apiculturiSts know OF, and then
went 70 a physician
The doctor said the bees fang had
penetrated the pneumagastric nerve,
and that the heart and lungs were
greatly affected by the poison.
GOdshalk grew worse all the while,
suffering the most intense pain. Med

an order prohibiting foraging. The
army had been on the march but few
hours when the General saw color

his shoulder along with the flag.
The General, surprised, stopped the
sergeant and said:
..'Fo what regiment do vOu belongs'

From the Boston Herald
Old Sol has long been unnecessary in
the taking Of photographs.
Up 10 the present time, however, he
has probably exulted in thinking that
his uncertain services must be had to
print the photograph,
But again the old chap has been Civ
en- the go-by and he j. not Bov a Reees-
sity al any stage Of the game. He may
sulk and hide his face OF pop it out
from behind the clouds mOmentaFily
a. much as he pleases, but with pho
tographers he no longer ''cuts any iee." :"
Electricity has scored a victory over
the old chap and il is practically u
Knockout in this particular line.
Before pictures have been taken in
the daytime by the aid Of electric
light, at night by flash light, but to get
proof printed one had to wait until
the next afternoon anyway, and some
times longer, all according TO Old SoFs
humor.
Now one can 20 TO his photographer
providing that gentleman has the
proper apparatus-at any time, even
al midnight, and sit for his photograph.
Not only that, if he Is willing TO wait
half an hour, he may receive nice
soft print from the negative.
The apparatus consists of an ordina-
ry camera, a 1900 candle power are
light for the taking, and 5000 candle
power are light for the printing.
Instead of sitting in the open room,
the subject sits iR sort of canopy, the
sides and top being white and at the
back the ordinary background.
Instead Of having the light shine di-
rectly on the subject, it shines away
and i reflected softly back from the
white sides
Watches were held for the test and a
zix-seeend exPssgEe was made The
plate was then developed and quickly
dried, coming out good and clear. II
was then taken TO the printing room
and after ten minutes under the infiu-
enee o the powerful are light, the pa
per and negative We're taken from the
box. The print was remarkably soft
clear and accurate.
All the time taken from the snap Of
the camera until the print was finished
was thirty-lwo minutes, and ordinary
materials only were used.

The Judge Was in Doubt.

Judge Charles Merritt Barnes, the
local Justice who made himself famous
by overruling the supreme Court and
deciding the sunday law uneonstiiu-
tional, is jolly good fellow, and for
years before his elevation 10 the wGoi
sack was local reporter. His first
ease was minor civil suit furiousiy
contested by the opposing counsel, and,
after listening patiently to all the law
yers had to say, he turned to the jury
and charged them:

ROped Bear and BrOnchO


From the Chicago Record.
Tom Buckley was working on the
spring roundup in the employ of one
Of the large cattle outfits in southeast
ern Montana. While riding through a
clump Of brush one day hunting cattle
a fulI-grown. silver-lip bear suddenly
arose and confronted him The only
weapon at hand was his lariat, and
with visions of juicy bear steak for the
boys at supper around the mes wagon
that night, and fine rug for the pnet-
ty school mann, he quickly loosened
his rope and threw it. \ few turns
over the saddle-horn, at the same time
squirting his horse, and the shock
came.
1t was very severe, for, unlnckily,
the bears foreleg as well as his head
was through the loop of the rope.
Tom was about To drop the rope ike a
hot cake when his horse suddenly put
his head down and started bucking in
true bronchO style.
Thomas didn't last long. He suffer
cd when he struck the ground, but he
didn't linger in the vicinity 10 ascer-
tain the extent of his injuries He
started for the top Of butte close at
hand, and, although an indifferent
sprinter, he managed to make very
fair time.
Looking back from his position Of
comparative safety he could see that
both animals had become entangled in
the rope and were having it out in
great style, making frantic efforts to
free themselves. The rope finally part
ed and away they went in opposite di-
rections, or, A. he expressed it: They
quit the country, hitting only the high
spots"

Ownership Of Dsgs.

Justice HsuFF w. Williams, Of the
Pennsylvania supreme court, has been
looking up the law made and provided
in reference 10 dogs, and now we have
a decision from the highest Judicial
tribunal Of the commonwealth on dog
case. The gist Of the supreme courts
deliverance X that under the common
law there is no such thing as legal proper
ty in dog. but that the owner OF the
premises upon which with said owners
knowledge and consent a dog is habitual-
~ and continuously kept, is responsible
for that dogs misdoings.
The dog in the case which occupied
the supreme courts attention was sup
posed by the dogs neighbors TO belong
10 a l4-yesr-old boy, who lived with his
uncle. and the dog lived on the premises,
The dog bit small boy who attempted
the familiarity Of patting his head. and
the little sufferers father determined
that someone should pay for the dogs
spiteful deed. 4 jury awarded Sis'
damages, which the uncle of the boy was
required to pay. He appealed % the su
preme court. The supreme court say,
the jury's decision is right The mar
who permits dog to live on his premise
is responsible for the mischief done by
the dog

society, and If the reason for the organi-
cation have any vitality at all the thing

18th and lasting four days, viii be q
gathering Of one Of the most important
societies, looked at from a religious
standpoint, now in existence. The
brotherhood was formed II years ago.
Its founders were young men, all
members Of the Bible class attached to
the Sunday school of one of the Episco-
pal churches in Chicago. Their teacher,
a banker of the town, was young man,
too, and they often talked Of and Ia
mented the fact that more young men did
not feel called upon to live active Chris
