Experiences of Young Man to Whom

man in gold-bowed glasses behind the
dairy counter as he handed down n
honeycomb for the inspection of an idle
customer, according TO the New York
sun. when was on the farm" he
continued, 81 could go all about the
hives and not get stung. and none of
the others dared go near the bees. We
used TO have an old farmer come around
and tend To the swarms. but one dav

wen, picked up IA tin pan that was
there and hammered on It till the bees
settled on the end of a fence rail. Then
thought | could tcnd 10 the swarm AS
well as the old farmer, so | got an old
hive, washed ii out with honey and wa
ter rubbed my hands and arms with
burdock juice and honey water, and
went at the bees. | got them OFF that
rail by the handful and they never
stung me.
After that regularly tended 10 the
bees. Whenever there was swarm
rolled up my sleeves, took off my shoes
and hat, and went at them have
taken them from all sorts of places, but
i was never stung only once. They'd
light on my head by the dozen and
crawl through my hair. That used 20
send cold chills down by back. Some
times my arms were so covered with
bees that from wrist TO elbow YOU
couldn't see the flesh. The one time
when was stung had found a swarm
on high limb and was saving it off, and
at the same time holding on 20 il that IL .
should not fall TO the ground with the .
bees. In doing this | squeezed one Of .
the bees, and II flew straight at nv
temple and stung me just above the
'ye. Since left the farm the folks have
given up the bee business There's no
ioubt about H. bees like some folks and
late others, and don't know any rea-
on for the difference"

Yesler avenue road. for a claim OF s4.61Ss2

company is now in the hands OF a re-
ceiver by reason of unpaid interest on its
bonds, held by the Central Trust Compa-
ny, OF New York. as trustee, but the
claim of Roebling's Sons is made prior
lien on the property, and superior TO the
claim OF the Central Trust Company. The
judgment is, however, subject to the nee

claim on the ground that the cable was
