BEES IN HIS BONNET.

P. w. Manley of Dummerston went to
the Alfred Waite farm early Tuesday
morning to get a hive of bees which he
bought at the auction Saturday. The hive
was soon plugged for a safe transit and
loaded on his wagon, drawn by rat-tail,
ewe-necked horse. Manley got aboard and
started homeward at a brisk trot. As his
wagon jolted over bad place in the road
near Milton Miller's residence, the plug
fell from the hive, the bees were set at
liberty and transportation stopped imme-
diately. The air was suddenly filled with
enraged bees which made lively times for
Manley and his horse. The poor animal
laid down and rolled and kicked furiously.
Pieces of harness and wagon flew in all di-
rections. Manley danced about like a wild
Indian, the bees singing him numerically.
At last he escaped from the wreck and
slowly and painfully wended his way home
ward, leading, or rather, pulling his horse
along after him by means of broken line.
On reaching home the horse was kindly
washed in soda water, and the latest re-
port is that Manley's wife has removed
from her husbands head about 100 bee
stings with the tweezers.
