fully 100 years old. and is so completely sur
and beds OF old-fashioned flowers as to be very
attractive to passers-by, as well as to bees.
Nearly five years ago bees became so plentiful
in the fertile tract that several swarms OF them
made their homes between the clapboards and

days ago Mrs. Bennett left an attic room open
for an hour or two. and upon her return found
that a colony Of the bees had crawled through a
partition and swarmed In the room. They drove
her from the APARTMENT.
During the years the bees have been living In

been steadily accumulating, and It Is now SO
abundant that. under tho influence of the
hot summer sun. 1t oozcs out from

Mr.. Bennett has consented. such a nuisance

The small piece Of chalk which is in con slant
