lifting the edge of the hat, told us tina
the bee had found the honey at the bot
tom of the box and was busily loading
up his saddlebags
THAT fellow in the box" sale
Hamp, using a dialect that cannot b
reproduced, thinks he's struck regu
lar picnic. And so he has. He'll ge
more sweet-stuff in five minutes than HI
could collect from flowers in an hour
He's so tickled over his find by thii
time that he has clean forgot all about
the way he got in there. Now, wei
just leave him in there until he gets al
he can carry, and then We'll let him
60"
At the end of about five minutes
Hamp showed back the glass cover and
allowed the bee free exit. Soon after
that the little fellow left off boring and
winged his way out. First he took few
circles around the box.
Hes locating that stump so he'll
know right where it is when he comes
back, and he's getting his bearings at
the same time. Oh, you bet, he'll be
back fast enough-just as soon as no
has unloaded. Now he's off,
All this time Hamp was standing in
an alert attitude, his hand to his eyes,
watching the bees every movement
Mr.. Bee had taken a straight course, a
regular bee line, for the adjacent woods.
When Hamp had watched him out Of
sight, he looked around until he had
firmly fixed the direction the bee had
taken. Then he sat down on log and
lighted his pipe.
"Yes, that Teller has gone straight to
his nest. 1t may be 100 rods away, and
it may be a mile or two. Follow him?
No use in that yet. You would lose
sight of him before you got out Of the
clearing. / can tell when he gets back
about how far he's been by the time it
takes him to make the trip. Do you
know what he'll do? Well, he'll tell an
other worker about this private snap of
his, and that fellow will spread the
news"
After three-quarters of an hour of
publCHb w uul ms "hiSh titIS
Hamp had RECALLED us with wonderful
tales about caves filled with tons of
honey which he had heard about, but
which he had never seen, he quietly re-
marked:
Here he is, back again. And he's
brought his mate along too. O."
Sure enough, when we looked into
the box, two bees were at work. They
loaded up and then started off in the
same direction as the first bee had taken.
After another long wait bee showed
up again, and he was followed by three
more. The news had spread. 1t was
slow work, though, waiting for them
to make their round trips. Talk about
a fisherman's patience, a successful bee
hunter needs to have all of Jobs chief
virtue.

we had emptied the lunch basket before

The Best We Can Do.
Wednesday noon of last week a band
of about 40 indignant citizens, headed
by Major Wharton Of the Cactus ranch,
surrounded The Kicker office and fired
about 200 bullets into the home of the
greatest family paper on earth. The OBJ
ject was to rebuke us for posting weather
bulletins which did not pan out as rep
resented, and we were duly rebuked
When we started our weather bureau,
we explicitly announced that all the
tools we had to work with were a map
of the world, two foot rule and red
lead pencil
In so days we have hit the weather
4S times, which we submit is doing de-
Gently well. In few instances we have
predicted rain which obstinately refused
to show up, and two or three times we
have overlooked high winds and frosty
nights.
We have done our best, however, and
If our people are not satisfied they must
turn in some other direction. Had Major
Wharton come to us personally and
alone and like a gentleman we would
have tried to give him the sort of
weather he wants TO grow jack rabbits
and tarantulas, but under the circum-
stances we'll be hanged if we favor him
over anybody else. NJ. QUAD.

HERE ARE FACTS.
What Governor Evans Says About
Signatures.

Signatures.
Governor Evans Was seen ut the
Mansion Saturday night and when
aske ed as to the matter of MIR. Latlmers
signature said: "Yes, there are few
signatures placed to the letter to Sena-
tor Tillman by, authority Of letter re-
ceived. For instance, Mr.. Josh Ash
lev wrote as follows: L think Tillman
ought to help US. If you see him tell
him I said he ought" Upon this au:
thority Mr.. Ashely's name was signed
TO the letter. There are great number
of others who were present at the con-
ference and heartily concurred in the
letter TO Senator Tillman, but whose
names do not appear. Senator I'LL
man added Mr.. Latimer's name for
the reason I suppose that Mr.. Latlmer
was appointed on the committee OF
Reformers who waited on the Senator
at Trenton and obtained the circular
letter.
"General Earle's friends have no
right to criticise this because l have q
letter from Mr.. Whitmire of Green
Vile, saying that his name has been
signed to card purportiDg to come
from Reformers of Greenville, publish
ed in The State, when, as matter Of
fact, he is strong supporter of mine
They are reporting all sorts of lies
upon me and are keeping up the dirty
cam paign they commenced. They
are beginning to cry fraud already
when as matter of fact they are the
guilty parties"

out to these men the consequences of
their act in voting against their own
party. Had General Earle on many
occasions not declared, as reported III
the papers, that he was mot Reform
er :" had he acknowledged his SYM
pathy with and allegiance to the men
who elected him a judge had he not
left our enemies the chance to claim
victory over the Reform movement IN
the person of its Governor, should
have remained silent, in spite OF the
solicitations of the many prominent
men who signed the letter to me. l
have the kindest feelings for General
Earle, and respect him to the full of
his deserts, but / submit that when he
denied being Reformer and was then
willing to profit by the dirty work of q
Reformer who pulled down his game
for him, I felt bound to interfere when
so strongly solicited.
TilIman's Charges Were Sustained by
a Popular verdict-Duncan not
Vindicated.
1t has been urged that I followed a
similar plan in 1890 as that pursued by
MIR. Duncan-''made charges by insin-
uations and proved nothing" The
Shell manifesto may have begun with
lie and ended with lie," but the
people who heard the evidence and ar
gument did not 30 declare. I was
elected by an overwhelming majority
and thus q verdict obtained. Had
Duncan been thus vindicated by those
who heard his charges against Cover.
nor Evans, there would be no need OF
second primary for Senator. The
people have repudiated Duncan's
ch harges by repudiating him, yet many
do not see 1t, and Earle claims the vic
tory and cries out against my unfair
ness. Were Mr.. Duncan in the sec
ond race now would have said moth
ing.
[ have never interferred in any fight
between Reformers except on one oc-
casion in 1892 and that was forced on
me. In this case ] did not speak, but
I was appealed to by those who have
always stood by me.
TilIman Believes Evans Is AS Able
and as Honest as Earle.
I believe Governor Evans is as able
and honest as General Earle, and
while others may differ with me do
not quarrel with them. I fought for
the primary and believe in the people
when they understand the situation
but they may be misled, and to pre-
vent that I have alone spoken.

DAY.

giving this expose sooner, but have

ly advised by my frieuds, who assured
me that the public took no stock in
their statements. / may be criticised
for not replying sooner, but l have IN
jured no one save myself. 1t is with
reluctance that 1 do this now because
1 know how it will be used by the en-
emies of the Dispensary law and the
Reform movement. But IN justice to
my friends who requested and the
public are attempted to be deceived l

In THE COURTS YESTERDAY
DEMURRER SUSTAINED IN INSUR-
.4NoE CASE BY JUDGE YOWESEND.

Testimony In Appeal From Probate of DIR.
Hoadlcy's Will-Divorcos Asked For
Falby Fined for Selling liquor to Minors
Other Court Cases.
Judge Townsend in the United States
court yesterday sustained the demur-
rer entered by the defendant in the
case OF Eliza Lissburger OF New York
against the Massachusetts Benefit as
ISOLATION. Her husband who died in
1883 was insured for $4,000 in the Sc
ourity Benevolent society of New York,
which transferred it's business to the
Massachusetts corporation. She COM
promised the claim after her husband
death for $1,000, but she afterward al
legged that her agreement to compro-
mise was obtained through fraud.
The demurrer throws the case for the
time being out of court. The demurrer
was entered as it was alleged the
plaintiff had allowed an unnecessary
long time to elapse before she brought
her case.
In sustaining the demurrer Judge
Townsend points out that the complaint
fails to state when the alleged fraud
was discovered, and further that the
suit was delayed an unreasonable
length of time.
