Near Butler the road passes through
two.acre field where bees are kept
by the owner, George Reiber. Mr..
Reiber refused to give tho railway
company the right of way through the
bee field. Mr.. Reiber refused to move
the bees, but offered to sell them to
the railroad company. The company
declined to buy them, and ordered the
workmen to remove them.
When this was attempted the bees

A Giant Swing

r. B. Zimmerman, OF Warren. has
what is probably the highest swing in
Texas. The frame is made of pine
logs seventy eight feet long, which are
set in the ground eight feet. making
the swing seventy feet high. The
cross-piece is 6x6 inches, and is fas
tened to the top of the upright pieces
in such way as to be as strong as il
the frame was all one piece. On the
rorth side of the swing is pole forty
two feet high, at the top of which is a
pulley. The person who wishes to be
swung is strapped in (if he or she
desires), and then takes hold of one
end of rope, the other end of which
is run through the pulley and fastened
to team Of horses.
The horses are started off and the
swinger is pulled to the top of the
pole. When the top is reached he
drops the rope and is at once launched
into space, sometimes going as high as
100 feet on the opposite side from the
pole. One turn at the swing is gener-
ally enough to satisfy one for that
evening. Since the erection of the
swing Mr.. Zlmmermau's house has be.

young people of Warren, and parties
frequently come from 4yatt and other

Every well regulated bedroom
which has more than one occupant
has two single beds nowadays. They
are fitted up in what is called the
Italian style. The bIass back which
is draped, is in one piece, and has the
regulation movable arms, on which
the curtains are hung. Tie high foot
piece of each bedstead is separate,
save for still higher arch made Of
ornamented brass, which connects the
two draperies and is rather more elab-

over it are arranged deep festoons
and long dropping ends, bordered
with narrow fringe.

A Demand for Better Horses.

point, and leaving all sentiment cut of
the question, what is the future of the
horse, just how nearly we can dispense
with his services, and what sort OF
substitute for this faithful friend of
man inventors and scientists may offer
to us.
Far seeing and intelligent breeders
OF horses have already come to the
conclusion that it does not pay to
raise colts which will not bring re-
munerative price when old enough to
be marketable. Western horsemen
who have been handling these cheaper
horses are looking for better grades.
They have been dealing in animals fit
only for street-car service, light truck
ing and the most ordinary kind of
road work. A few of the better ami
mails of this class can be made avail
able for farm work and breeding farm
stock. Men who have real love for
and appreciation of the horse, and who
have made thorough study of its
breeding and management, have for
years tried to convince Western stock
men that it costs no more to raise
good horse than poor one, outside
of the cost of the sire. The few men
who have come to realizing sense of
the true state of the horse find that
by adopting this wiser course they are
obtaining better prices for whatever
horses they send to market. But they
never ship Scrubs" These are the
men who fill the steady demand for
heavy draft animals, high class carriage
teams or roadsters for men who care
more for style than speed.
A few bronchos will be required for
polo use, but the day of the California
''cayoose," the Mexican "plug" and
the Eastern "crowbait" is past. The
jingle of the bicycle bell has rung
their knell, and their requiem will be
sung by buzzing electric motors and

Smallest Voting List.

Does anybody know what town has
the smallest voting list of any in the
United States? 1t is Glastonbury, a
picturesque little place among the hills
of Vermont. It's present population,
which is the largest it has ever had,
and of which it is most proud, is only
241.
AT the Presidential election in 1892
only six votes were cast, five Demo
cratic and one Republican. Yet, in
spite of its small voting list, it always
sends its representative to the General
Assembly. 1t has no postoffice, and
one of its most prominent townsmen
holds no less than seven different
offices. The town has often sent O
State Senator from its people, and
more than once County Judge has
been chosen from Glastonbury. New

AT DAWN.

When morning breaks
What ship shall rise from out the bound
less sea
To bid me greeting with the break of
day,
Then float into the blue forever free
Or linger with the changing tides for
aye?
What myths my mind in happy fancy makes
When morning breaks!
When morning breaks!
All! then-what founding hopes shall
come to me
To seek fullllment ere the close OF day?
What songster sweet shall rise from out
the lea
And pause to let mo list his roundelay
The while his sleeping mate he gently wakes
As morning breaks2
When morning breaks!
Thy heart pray from dullng carell be
free,
While mine-ah had 1 only mine own
way
You'd ever dwell beside tho wave with me
And see the ships AMI hear the rounde-
lay.
Alas! such visions happy fancy makes
When morning breaks.

Braiding will be one of the new
fashions.
Black corded silks and plain satins
will be fashionable.
Fancy jackets, such as the bolero,
Figaro and Eton, are to be worn.
The howered silks that were So pop.
ular early in the summer will be worn
until late.
The cloth waists for winter will have
the body of the waist braided and the
sleeves plain.
One of the most fashionable bodices
now worn is the short bolero or zouaye
jacket, of which there are many types.
Miniature golf sticks in gold are de-
signs in the newest scarf pins made by
the representative jewelers.. They are
certainly up to date.
The recognized finish to every we'll
made skirt is narrow inside foot-frlll,
pinked at either edge, which should
be caught to the facing every few
inches.
Women who wear on q wide satin
ribbon their badges, pins, buttons and
insignias of the various societies and
associations to which they belong, are
criticised as seekers after notoriety.
The badges, pins, buttons and in.
signals were not made, however, to
put away in bureau drawers.

NEWEST ROUND HATS,

The conical crown continues to ap-
pear on the newest round hats of the
season. It was hoped that this shape
would come up only to disappear, as
do many other erratic and exaggerated
styles, but it seems to gain ground as
the autumn advances. 1t is style, as
whole-laden with its weight of
superAuous garnitures that is Ger.
tainly not in accordance with the pres.
ent elaborate spreading effects in
dress. The steeple- hat of
the typical Welsh woman looks in
unison with the rest of her National
garb-the aspiring hat making up by
its height for the shortness of her
scant skirts. so that proportion is duly
maintained. Some of the new Mother
Goose styles of hats for dress wear
have sugar-loaf crowns and immense
brims, flat all around, or curved at
the sides. These shapes would prove
trying to the most beautiful face or
the most regular features. Many are
of cream-white felt, over decorated
with white plumes, tips, breast feath-
ers, beaded gRlloons, or black and
white effects in ribbon, lace and
plumage. New York Post.

When snake venom is concentrated
by removing the third substance and
retaining the other two, what is left
constitutes the most powerful poison

single thimbleful of it suitably applied

THE NEW COLLAR BANDS.

The collar bands on the new gowns
are one OF the special points of deco
ration, and frills OF some sort are in
variably set in on the edge to stand up
around the neck, commencing little
distance apart on either side of the
front. They are made of knife-plaited
silk, ribbon, lace or chiffon, and one
very effective trimming is lace in Van
dyke points, outlined with tiny
ruche of colored ribbon and gathered
into the neck. Plain velvet collars,
with plaitings of ribbon set in fan
shape at the back, are very pretty, and

A REMARKABLE PRINCESS.

One of the most remarkable features
of the Czarina's suite, according to
the Vienna correspondent OF the Lon

personifies the mistress of the robes of
past centuries. She is as tall as q
grenadier, dresses most gorgeously,
and wears six ostrich feathers in her
bonnet. Her halr, in plain bands,
surrounds a large face with remark
able teeth. She dominates the whole
scene in which she is placed, and the
Empress Elizabeth's mistress of the
robes, little Countess Goes, with her
snowy hair and her simple back dress,
worn to please her imperial mistress,
offered n strange contrast to the Rus.

Although 1000 miles away, the Cape

England. Its value is that of watch.
tower from which the movements of
warships can be observed and tele-
grsphed as they pass into and out of the
Mediterranean. Moreover, situated
as 1t Is near our trade routes, says
the London Times, it is the
point at which vessels would naturally
call for news, orders, coal and protec-
tion during the continuance of a war.
When you consider that in every sec.
ond OF time twenty tons of shipping
go out or come into our home ports.
and that, as matter of fact, the stream
is continuous and never ceases, and
that the value of the sea borne trade
of the British empire is calculated at
81, $50, 900, 900, of which about 81, $50,
100000 neither comes to nor goes
from the United Kingdom, it seems
difficult to exaggerate the value of the
fortress of Gibraltar or to realize the
congestion of British shipping which
might seek its protection in war. II

rison consists of seven companies o.
artillery, four companies of engineers
and three companies of infantry. Il
