A FEEBLE FATHER.

"Father," he began, after taking
the old man out back of the barn,
your years are many
"Yes. my son.
"You have toiled early and late,
and by the sweat of your brow you
have amassed this big farm
That's 80, William
at has panied me more than l
can tell to see You at your age
troubling yourself with the cares
of life. Father, your declining
days should be spent in the old arm
chair in the chimney corner
"Yes, William, they should"
"Now, father, being you are old
and feeble and helpless, give me
deed of the farm, and you and
mother live out your few remaining
days with me and Sally"
William" said the old man as he
pushed back his sleeves, II think l
see the drift o. them remarks. When
Pm ready TO start for the poor
house I'll play fool and hand over
the deed. William
"Yes, sir"
an order to dispel any delusion
your part that / am old and feeble
and helpless, I'm going to knock
down half an acre of cornstalks
with your heels"
And when the convention finally
adjourned William crawled to the
nearest haystack and cautiously
whispered to himself:
"And Sally was to breach the
same thing to ma at the same time!
l wonder IL she's MORALLY injured,
or only crippled for life."-Texas

After the Election and BuIger.
Three cheers for Bleeding Kansas!
And great big whoop!
For the freaks who carried Kansas
And left her in the soup.
In the cranky state of Kansas
There be many kinds of ills,
And some that can't be handled
With "Thro by Daylight" pills.
But the costive cranks OF Kansas,
With bilious watery eyes,
Have got their work in nobly
With the hobos and the guys.
Three cheers for Peffer's whiskers
And likewise Sockless Jerry,
And for all the Kansas Popocrats
Who are free from dysentery.
They've raised stink in Kansas
And elected Johnny Leedy-
Our credits gone to hell! you bet!
Indeed il has, indeedy!
The bellyache has come to stay
And there may be some gripping,
For we've juggled with plutocrats-
Our farms they'll soon be swiping,
Sapsuckers now control the House,
And straddlebugs the Senate;
Householder's coppered Mrs. Lease
Lewelling isn't in it.
We have raised hell in Kansas,
And a mighty hullaballoo;
We worked the chumps of Kansas
With q silver-tipped bazoo.
We seeded from the Union,
Wiped Kansas off the map,
And lined her up with Arkansaw
For the sake of a little pap"
The "Ad Astra" flag of Kansas
Lies trailing in the duet,
And many of her silly pops
Are likely to Ego bust"
We've had the drouth, also the itch,
Cyclones, chinch bugs, grass
hoppers;
But nothing half so bad as this
This fuse with Demo-poppers.
We've lost the credit of our state,
We've lost our railroad passes,
We've made the outer world believe
We're a set of long-eared asses.
The silver racket wouldn't work,
Neither will reputation;
And all the salvage from the wreck
Is chronic constipation.
God help poor, measley kansasl
From the Cimarron to the kaw,
The Popocrats have got her,
Those men of mighty jaw.
Three groans for wormy Kansas,
With her tramps above the law,
And the double-breasted pap
suckers,
Who will chew Ne mp blood raw.

FOR WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

$50 ~
And great big hurrah
From the river Arkansas
To valleys on the Kaw.
II will ne'er be forgotten
While poets write line
The deed of noble Kansas
For William ]. Bryan.
Three cheers for the Southwest,
Like Kansas, fell in line
To fight the golden standard
Which closed the silver mine;
And three for the sunny South,
Where cotton fields will bloom
They joined us at Thermopyle
To seal old Hanna's doom.
And three for the mountain states
To reach the mountains crest,
And thus complete the area,
The empire of the West.
I'm sorry for the dark spots
This empire could not shun,
But we know by inspection
Of dark spots on the sun.
And like the sun, this empire
The dark spots can't be seen
For the light shining round them
Seems dazzling screen.
Sorry for the golden gate
And the fate of Iowa,
For they are the darkest spots
Found in the dazzling ray.
Bryan crossed the enemy's lines
Fighting for his country;
On his shield were fiery words
OF great Patrick Henry.
Bryan's speech was anarchy,
And Henry's was treason
Honor to these valiant men,
For every good reason.
Henry lived 10 see the day
He could talk and reason
W ituout icui VI iOIu vi hiiH
He'd be chained for treason.
William Bryan will bask, too.
In sunshine and glory
And like Henry OF the past
Bryan lives in story.
We had to fight old England,
And her New England, too;
Our defeat was Bunker Hill,
And not "a Waterloo.
From hence we'll be veterans,
For valor we have shown,
And will in nineteen hundred
Take Hanna from his throne.
They'll build u shaft to Webster,
Blaine aud III .nry Clay,
And deny them the honor
Was due them in their day.
Well tender 10 our hero
Before frost nips the vine,
The honor due great man
To William J. Bryan.

committee of three had been appointed TO
ask assistance from the Legislature, but
they had been met by hollow promises that
came TO naught. Edward ). Pope, the aged
secretary OF the association, interrupted the
Doctor to remark that neither party had
ever done anything for the benefit of the
farmers. Mr.. Pope has been a resident of
this city for sixty-three years and is quite
venerable in appearance, his beard and hair
being perfectly white. But. Notwithstanding
his great age, he has still some vigorous
opinions on the subject OF beekeeping and is
quite an enthusiast. He is witty old man
and his remarks were received with laugh
ter and applause.
r. NJ Shell, of Fountain county, admitted
he was an amateur. but said he had devoted
considerable attention 10 bee culture. al
though he had been more of dabbler than
one seeking to make a profitable business

KEEPERS OF THE HONEY INSECTS.
Men Who Raise Bees Hold Their An
nunI Meeting.

The sixteenth annual convention of the
Indiana Beekeepers' Association was called
to order in Room 81 at the Statehouse yes
terday. Vice President j. NJ. Hicks. OF this
city, presiding in the absence of the presi-
dent, W. S. Pouder. A small number OF
farmers and others interested in beekeeping
were in attendance. After disposing OF
routine business DR.. Hicks read a paper on
Queen Breeding for Purity" In part. he
said: Like begets like. and this rule Is
truly applicable TO the art of raising queens,
drones and workers in their purity" The
paper went on to show no question was OF
more Importance than that of raising pure
blooded queens. First procure that which
is pure and then keep them so by careful
iudicious management. This can be done
at a small expense in procuring at east two
fine. prolific queens and introducing each
of them in separate stocks DR.. Hicks
thought especial care should be taken TO see
that new queens are well received by the
hive The best time for making the change
of queens, he thought. was In the fall or
winter, before production of stock for the
next season began.
Richard 8 Russell gave his experiences
on the question OF. artificial feeding. He
had observed that early in the spring, after
the hives had exhausted their supply of
artificial feeding. Otherwise the bees would
become weakened and unfit for work during
the breeding season. He was opposed to
feeding syrups and found the best result
from food made of -four, water and gram
ulated sugar Considerable interest was
manifested in the subject of feeding ex-
tracted honey 10 the bees for the purpose of
having il reconverted into comb honey.
One OF the delegates said he had made some
special experiments along this line. He
found that forty-three pounds of extracted
honey had been consumed by the bees and
reproduced in the form OF comb honey, the
yield heing thirty pounds. While he was
unable TO sell his extracted honey at 1914
cents the comb honey brought 20 cents.
showing slight gain in profit. He admitted
{ that, taking the time and care into cons.d-
Grafton. il was not profitable venture. The
prevailing impression seemed 10 be that
feeding extracted honey to the bees for re-
production into co-.5 vas not a profitable
process.
A delegate called attention TO the fact
that other States have recognized the i'm
portance OF bee culture bys appropriating
small annual sums 10 the DEVELOPMENT OF
the industry. Reference was made to ILL.,
nois where 500 is annually devoted TO this
purpose. DR.. Hicks arose to explain. He
said In Illinois the beekeepers had been
so fortunate as to secure the election of one
OF their number 10 the Legislature, who de-
voted considerable time to securing an ap-

Worried Over Party Rates.

The lines of the Western Passenger Asso-
citation were discussing party rates between
Chicago and st. Paul and Minneapolis for
the greater portion of yesterday at their
meeting in Chicago, but they did nothing
in regard to them. The roads are in a
dilemma over this traffic. They have de-
cided that the rates should be abolished, but
they find themselves unable to carry out
their own resolution in regard to them. Even
If they do away with party rates in general
they will make some provision for theatrical
companies and how to do this without leay-
ing open a gate through which general party
rates Will be allowed is a hard problem for
the roads 10 solve. 1T was decided that
rate of l cent per mile should be allowed
for the G.. A. r. encampment at st. Paul.
Not all OF the roads have agreed to this
proposition as yet, but there is no doubt
that they will do so. The rates for the
meeting of the Knights of Pythias, at Min
neapolis. was not taken up to-day. The
committees of Western freight men have
agreed upon the larger portion of the ques-
lions submitted TO them, but the matter of
rates from Des Moines, Ia, eastward is a
matter Of controversy. The thing was left
with Vice President Truesdale, OF the Rock
Island. for settlement.
