Glover Seed and Bees.

The part that insects play in the prop
agation of plants is an important one,
saws American Gardening. They are
the principal agents in the fertilization
of flowers, and each plant has its own,
and the arrangement of the nature Is
so complete that they always appear
when their services are required and at
no other time. Many insects as well
as humming birds, visit flowers for the
nectar they yield, but the fertilization
each flower has its own special agent.
1t is well known fact that the bum
BILE bee (Bombus ladidarius) fertlllzes
the flowers of our common red clover,
and that in countries where there are
none of this species of bee, clover seed
cannot be produced. This was nota
bly, true in Australia, where the clover
will thrive with unusual vigor, but
would not reproduce itself, because
they had no humble bees, and for this
purpose they introduced large colonies
which ia pidly increased, and immedi-
ately the clover began to seed and in
creased in productiveness in proper
| ton to the increase of bees.
| As an illustration of the "harInonies
| of creation" Darwin said the amOu ut
of clover seed produced in "A given local
| ity was porportiOnate to the number OF
''old maids there resident, which he
proved by the following statement:
| "There can be no clover seed without
| the bundle bee, because no other in
sect fertilizes 1t. The enemy of the
| humble bee is the common field mouse,
| that steals into their nests and de-
stroys the Larvae and eats the honey
! The enemy of the mouse is the common
house cat, and the solid friend of the
cat is the old maid. Consequently, she
more old maids the more cats; the more
cats|the less mice, the less mice the
more humble bees. the more bees the
more clover seed. ''-Ie1lneSse Fdrnler.

DAYS GONE BY.
JAMES wHITCoMB RILEY.

Oh, the days gone by Oh, the days gone by!
The apple in the orchard and the pathway
through the rye;
The chirrup of the robin and the whistle Of the
qnail,
AS he piped across the meadows sweet as any
r nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover and the
blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over. in the
days gone by.
In the days gone by. when my naked feet were
tripped
BY the honeysuckle's tangles, where the water
lilies Dipped,
And the ripple of tho river tipped the moss
along the brink,
Where the placid eyed and lazy footed cattle
came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless OF the
truant's hayward cry.
And the splashiny OF the swimmer, iii the
days zone by.
On, the days gone by GA, thedsys gone 10y!
The music of the lau hin Lip, the lustre OF the
eye,
The childish faith in fairies, and Ala idin' s
magic ring,
The sim ,le soul-reposing, glad belief in every
thing.
Wh,,l life was like a story, holding neither
sob nor sigh,
IL the olden, golden glory of the days gone

Imtemperanee Among Women.

There is much said about the grow
ing habit of intemperance among
women; perhaps more than the facts
would warrant. If this habit exists it
is owing to the fact that women are
often forced to perform domestic, and
social duties under great physical suf-
fering, and by partaking of liquors for
temporary relief or little protraction
of strength, the habit becomes a neces-
sity If all ladies who suffer with the
plants peculiar TO their sex, would
take DR.. Pierce Favorite Prescription,
they would find natures restorative,
ana the evil results of pernicious drugs
and liquors would be avoided. For all
cases of nervous and general debility,
sleeplessness, spasms, periodical pains,
suppressions and irregularities, it is
the only medicine so certain in cura-
tive action that it can be guaranteed
to benefit or cure or money returned.

The Lines on Old Biandford'S Wall.

To the Editor of the Richmond Dispatch
Isee from your paper of the 4th that
you did not give to J. r. N the name
of the true author of the poem written
on the wall of old Blandford church,
The real author was Miss Eliza L. Hen
ing, daughter of William W. Hening,
formerly of Richmond, who wrote
quite a number of law -boOks-Hening's
Justice" ETC., etc.
The lines were written on her first
visit to Petersburg. which, | think,
was in the year of 1920, or between
then and 1925.
My mother (then Miss Martha Bruce
Hening) and several friends of the
party from Richmond, stood by her,
and read the lines as she composed
and wrote them on the wall As il
was her first visit to the city, nv
mother said she signed herself ''Stran-
ger"
full account of their authorship
you will find in the State, October 10,
1885, written by her nephew. Thomas
L. Cabaniss. NJ. D., Astoria, Ore. He
says: MY brother, George A. Caba-
ISIS, told me year or two after these
lines were written, that our aunt wrote
them, and that he was with her when
she did So"
hope you will put this correction il
your next paper. If you wish further
information on this subject, please
write to b. Y. Sw ANN.

DOUBLE HEADER IN ALABAMA.

The State in Enjoyment of Two
Governments.
Montgomery. Ala, Dec. 1.-THE State
of Alabama for the first time in it's
history has two governors and two
separate sets of state officers. Col.
Oates and those elected on his ticket
preside at the state house. Capt.
Kolb and his cabinet have not an
nounced their official headquarters.
Saturday was the day fixed by law for
the Inauguration of governor and
state officers. The returns Of the Au-
gust election showed the election of
the Democratic ticket headed by Col.
Oates, by over $4,000 majority. The
legislature in joint session had regu-
larly counted and announced the re-
suit. Capt. Kolb, Oates opponent the
nominee of the Populists, charged
| fraud and claimed he had received a
| majority Of the votes cast, and was the
rightful heir to the governors office.
| He demanded, therefore, to be sworn
in, and was. Surrounded by members
| of the legislature and with the usual
pomp of military display, Col. Oates
took the oath of office upon the steps
of the state capitol, standing on the
very spot on which Jefferson Davis
stood when he was sworn in as presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy.
Numerous threats had been made by
misguided friends of Capt. Kolb, and
to avoid any possibility of anything
like violence, as we'll as to lend spirit
to the occasion, more than twenty COM
panies Of state troops with loaded
cartridges in their belts were present
and participated in the Inauguration
ceremonies, which were, however
without disorderly events Capt. Kolb
was not permitted to speak from the
capitol steps, and the captain mounted
a wagon and made a speech. He was
Iafterward sworn in. There was some
excitement but no bloodshed. 1t is
not known what Kolbs plans are.
