Chicago, July s. In the magnificent

a brief but decisive hattie the silver

CAr CHIT 4 SWARM OF BEES.
How a Kansas City Hackman ST., kea
His Apiary

At about noon Friday, when every
thing was quiet at the union depot,
the few persons who were on the Plat
form noticed a number of honey bees
flying hither and thither in front Of the
building The number gradually in
creased until there was a swarm hat
looked like a small cloud, The insects
became so troublesome that the mon on
the platform began to cast about for
means of capturing them. While The
discussion was in progress a freight
train backed through the swarm Then
those who saw the train mott id the
brakeman making frantic motions as
he went through the cloud of insects.
Russell the telephone man, began beat
ing an old tin pan. and 10 Jones, who
runs the bootback stand on the depot
platform, found an old umbrella and
with it went to the west bluffs and
came back bearing a spreading weed,
with which to beguile the bees. This
he waved enticingly. while Russell kept
up tattoo on the OIL pan,
But the excited insects were still
obstinate. Perhaps their queen had
not made up her mind what 70 do
Jones was resourceful He secured an
old barrel from one Of the fruit stands,
in which he put some sugared wafer,
The lees seemed to take fancy
to this, and befora long they be-

top and end of box rar near by soon
the whole swarm was at peace
A colored hackman who had been &C
