Very true. for people with minds

BRlGAND BEES.
A Variety of Insects Which Are Really
Born Criminals.

A Variety of Insects Which Are Really
Born Criminals.
Almost every form and variety of hui
man crime is to be found among ami.
mails. Cases of theft are noticed among
bees. Buchner, in his psychic Life OF
Animals" speaks of thievish bees
which, in order to save themselves the
trouble of working, attack well-stocked
hives in masses, kill the sentinels and
the inhabitants, rob the hives and carry
off the provisions. After repeated en-
terprises of this description they ac-
quire taste for robbery and violence;
they recruit whole companies which
get more and more numerous; and
finally they form regular colonies of
brigand bees. But it is still d more
curious fact that these brigand bees
can be produced artificiallv by giving
working bees mixture of honey and
brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire taste for this
beverage, which has the same disas-
trous effects upon them as upon men;
they become indisposed and irritable,
and lose all desire to work; and finally,
when they begin to feel hungry, they
attack and plunder the well-supplied
hives. There is one variety of bees
the Sphecodes-which lives exclusive
y upon plumber. According to Mar
chall, this variety is formed of indi-
yiduals of the Halyetes species, whose
organs of notification were defective,
and which have gradually developed
into a separate variety, living almost
exclusively by plumber. They may
thus be said to be an example of in
nate and organic crilninality among
insects, and they represent what Prof.
Lombroso calls the born criminals
that is, individuals which are led to
crime by their own organic constitu-
tion.-Forum.

THE CABLES TANDEM TOUR

Fair Helen holds the handle-bars-herh han
py daddy's hands;
me laddie, perched behind her, It would
do you good to see.
Ihen Off they go a-touring through many
foreign lands,
Upon the family tandem. viz. your hum
BILE servants knee.
Through By-Low Town and Cradle Cove
they leisurely proceed:
Ihey view the pleasant scenery, they
hear the local lore
How giants thrill these quiet spots with
many an awful deed,
How fairies all the playthings of the
sleeping babes explore.
From time to time a robber band appears
on either side;
In husky tones they hail us from a thick
ct or a glen.
And gracious me, you ought to see the
fearful pace we ride!
Not even Mr. Zimmerman could travel
with us then.
The roads we know are always smooth, as
roads should always be.
The places that we visit we have visited
before;
But that is no objection. as you easily could
see,
If you should hear the tandem team ap-
peal to me for more.
When we have wheeled past villages and
cottages and farms
We stop at last beside fence to watch
some funny sheep;
Then PauPs eyes close and he falls off into
his mothers arms,
While Helen drops the handle-bars and
cuddles up to sleep.

REST CITY, ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 2 1885,

He turned away and put his hand on
the bell. Then he looked back over his
shoulder. The Junior was leaning easi-
ly against the broad railing of the ver-
anda.
Il believe you are fool enough to fol-
low me in" said the Sophomore,
angrily.
II am" said the Junior, calmly.
Perhaps not exactly that, but we'll
not fight over terms"
"Well, you can't make me make such
an ass of myself" said the Sophomore,
suddenly.
The Junior smiled broadly.
"You can take dinner here if you
want to-" the Sophomore went on. II
believe that you have no more sense
than to try. I'll wait on the corner
to see you kicked out. Then I'll 90
back to the hotel and get something
to eat"
I'll go with you," said the Junior,
readily.
The Sophomore turned and stole
quietly down the steps.
Il hope no one saw me-" he said,
when he reached the bottom.
II thought that / saw girl looking
out of the second-story window" said
the Junior, comfortingly.
20, you go to the deuce!" said the
Sophomore.
We'll. perhaps was mistaken" said
the Junior. 1T looked that way.
though. Had you just as lief walk be-
side me? When you drop behind that
way it makes me nervous. It's so easy
to hit man over the head when he's
not looking"
"It wouldn't hurt you." growled the
Sophomore.
We'll go back to the hotel and carry
out the original programme" said the
Junior.
The Sophomore did not echo his en-
thusiasm. Even when he found him
self opposite the Junior at little white
| table in the cafe among his friends
and in the presence of clamorous
argument about the game, he did not
unbend. But by the time that the
oysters came in his fac began TO clear.
Il suppose you'H tell his thing all
over college" he said, ruefully.
Its good thing that they don't
peel these lemons" said the Junior.
"One would never know what they
were if it were not for the yellow out
side"
ut makes me feel pretty mean,"
said the Sophomore.
"They call these two-by-four mon
strosities blue points on the bill, don't
they" said the Junior.
What troubles me most" said the
Sophomore, ''is what the dickens the
girl will think of me.'
The Junior lifted an oyster on his
fork and looked at it closely.
Don't worry about that" he said.
I'll fix it all right with her."
The Sophomore stopped his glass
half way to his mouth and looked at
him over the rim in amazement
"Fm the cousin at college whose
name you never asked" said the
Junior.-Chicago Tribune.

orders and women starting on journey,
notifying their friends to meet then
at the station. But the regular tele
graph crank comes into the hotel ant
rushes into the Office here and tele
graphs half dozen of his friends: Ar

wires them to address mail to him here
Shortly after that he advises them tha
he forgot to notify them that he vii
leave New York on Monday. Afte,
awhile he changes his mind and wires
that he will stay till Tuesday.
"The next morning he worries be
cause he has not heard from home, and
wires them to ask if anything is th
matter. He gets letter by noon, ant
wires again to say that the letter cam,
safely by the next mail, and he will
answer by the afternoon post.

l don't. Why, in a week a telegraph
crank will often give me his entire ped

by telegraph, and lot more do then
joking with business friends in th,
same way. Any amount of chaff goe
over the wire at regular tariff rates.
Some men have a fad for sending
wedding congratulations and deatl
condolences by telegraph to great peo
pie who probably never heard of them
Egotism is at the bottom of most of thi
particular kind of insanity. The maj
thinks it makes him look importan
to rush into telegraph Office as soon a,
he strikes the town and dash off a rnax,
