a bee story.

bees in fun wing CHANGED to pervade the
atmosphere, says a Mississippi CORE

embarrassing is his profession, so 1 was
not surprised when the old man dropped
his brush head and ears in the bucket,
Strengthened his crooked back and hobbled
rapidly up to the door
excitedly.
Bees" he whispered, and 1 got the
bell. l knew the old mans weakness. Be
sides, II is not embarrassing to see a
swarm of bees hived-from a perfectly
safe distance, understand. The bees
showed some signs Of making a raid on
a honeysuckIe vine that was in full bloom
on my trellis, but the queen seemed dainty
about making landing. She buzzed and
whirled and shifted with the swarm at
her heels till the air was black with
bees, but resolutely in the midst, with
his bell ringing, stood Uncle Isham alone
and unprotected, yet with his face to
the foe. / couldn't tell whether the swarm
was moving with the old man or he was
moving with the swarm, the bees were
so thick about him, but the group kept
up continual migration till at last the
door OF my little poultry yard was reach
ed. A heavily blOSsOmed rOSebush grew
just beside the gate, and upon this at
length the queen seemed to have made
up her mind to Eight. She made a dive
downward, the swarm following when
just at the critical moment, a men from
the poultry yard, with a loud cackle, flew
from her nest into the very midst of the
swarm.
"Drat dat ole fool hen"' I heard Uncle
lsham say, and l thought the game was
ended.
What those bees and that hen really
thought, it was impossible to state with
accuracy, but they evidently seemed 10

of cyclone business had been let loose

there appeared to be just d conglomerate
mixture of bees and hen in midair, and.
by and by, when they came down, they
were literally there and all together. The
queen, who had no doubt been knocked
perfectly silly was comfortably estab-
lished on the hens back, while the whole
swarm chung around her. The poor hen
was bedecked from tip to beak and could
not move a feather.
Uncle Isham, very much surprised at
the turn of affairs, got a box and soon
had the swarm safely hived, much TO

If some OF the republican papers OF Chi
cage are 10 be believed. the republicans
Of Illinois have nominated for governor
Of that state a very currupt man. HIS
name is John r. Tanner. Mr.. Tanner IS
known to many as Poker Jack" He mas
had rather varied career. and, II what
is said Of him is true, 1t is a wonder how
he reached his present prominent posi-
tion, because the republican party OF Il
dnois has a fair share Of decent people
in it.
one Of the papers that IS particularly
opposed to MIN is the Tlmes-Herald, which
is owned and edited by republican. That
paper says that Mr.. Tanner can neither
speak. spell nor write the English Ian
guage. 1t declares he is a professional
ofhce-seeker and a machine politician
welded to the most INSCRIPTIONS machine
methods for the perversion Of public opln-
ion. Continuing it says: His associa-
tions from early life TO this date have
been dissolute, and in saying this we do
not refer TO that most painful incident Of
his life over which, by common consent,
charity casts veil. He borrowed money
from the democratic state treasurer when
TO make such a loan was a penitentiary
onense. a year ago he adjourned the
state legislature to avert an investigation
Of boodlng and excused himself there.
for by the contemplate plea that if the
investigation proceeded the disclosures
would be such as to cause the republic
cans to lose the election in which he ex-
pected to be the republican candidate for
governor"
And it is this man the republicans CT
Illinois have named as their candidate for

Mr.. Tanner has. It is remarkable that the
self-respectng people of the state don't
get together and nominate a ticket that
men who want good government can
support. And the democrats Will prob
ably renominate Altgeld He is the man
who demands that money due him shall
be paid in gold, and all the time he de-
clares himself to be in favor of the I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 TO 1. Still, ne is better man than
Tanner is represented to be. He doesn't
commit fraud on the ballot boxes, nor
does he employ means to corrupt voters
He is good deal of a crank and has opin-
ions akin to those held by socialists. AS
between two evils the people of Illinois
win likely prefer him. But why should

fireman was badly injured. One of the

Nevada, and the republican party of Ne

Nevada must keep them. She cannot

Every section of the country will sym
pathize with Nevada because of her af-
