tire and no opportunity at a general
election to test this law as vet. Results

standard in this county, and in view of
the entirely harmonious action, there
ought to be no question whatever as to
the election of our excellent county
ticket. There is no friction among the
supporters of the union ticket placed in
nomination by the Democrats, the Popu-
lists and the Free Silver Republicans.
The high character and qualifications Of
the candidates are unquestionable. It
will be a straight vote for principle this
fall, and every man who doesn't want to
be counted as an endorser of the McKin-
ley administration and its policy of sub
jugation, murder and devastation in the
Philippines, will rally to the support of
the union ticket.
The people realize too clearly the I'M
portance of the questions which will be
up for decision in the great battle Of 1900
for which this isa preliminary skirmish,
to hesitate for moment as to their duty
now. The fusion vote in this county
this fall is certain to be much larger
than it was year ago; and there is no
reason why we should not move on to
grasp the victory that is within our reach.
The causes that have produced dissension
and disagreement in the recent past are
less potent now; the hold the advocates
of popular rights have on the administra-
ton Of affairs in this county is being
strengthened year by year; and it is hard
ly conceivable that our people will be so
lukewarm and Indifferent to the import
ance of the contest as to allow a single
one of the Republican candidates to step
in. Close up the ranks, boys, for win
ming fight this fall.

Statistics gathered in several European
countries show that the average length
of human life among the poorer classes
IS little more than one half as great as
among the well to do. The mortality
among children born in the poorer
quarters in our cities is simply appalling.
The average length of life among the
very poor is much less than among the
well to 90. This shortening of human
life IS to a great extent form of murder
Tor which society, our present competi-
tive, capitalistic system is to blame.

A Change at Luening's

For the past two years the bust
ness of the Luening Mercantile COMPANY
has been so great and Mr.. Luening has
had so many demands upon his time,
that he has been unable to give his per-
sonal attention to their UNDERTAKING
DEPARTMENT.
Recently Mr.. Knowles commenced to
devote his entire time to the companv's
business and has taken charge of a large
amount of the routine work which leaves
Mr.. Luening free to personally attend to
undertaking calls. He has had 81 years
experience in this work and in the mat
ter of embalnling is probably without a
peer in Kansas.
They have recently put in an entirely
new and complete stock of undertaking
goods and purchased an elegant funeral
car, which with their new stock makes
the finest and best equipped undertaking
establishment in tbs southwest.

Honey is enjoying renewed favor.
Men of wealth and leisure are testing
and experimenting with the different
kinds Of honey, and wrinkling their
brows over the problem Of producing
what seems to them the most desirable
flavor during the coming summer, says
the Otsego Farmer. For the bee is no
longer allowed to pursue his own sweet
peregrinations and sip of the nectar Of
flowers wherever he chooses. Honey
made in this promiscuous way is much
too ordinary. Els actions are restrict
ed and guided. A a result, such honey
as never was tasted before is tickling
the palates of many. If it is the white
sweet clover flavor that has gained
favor with the epicure, he goes system
atically to work to produce it, and
plants large plot of ground, perhaps
half an acre with this particular kind
Of clover. He has it carefully kept from
weeds or any other variety of clover
that might endeavor to find footing
there. The whole bed is sinclosed and
rooted with fine wire netting, and the
beehives are then placed within the in
closure. From the bees life, therefore,
the spice Of variety is plucked, and try
as he will he can produce none other
than white sweet clover honey. In
favor it is very delicate and almost
white in color. Yellow sweet clover
honey is preferred by others. The
flavor is slightly stronger than that
made from the white variety, and its
color is deep yellow. Then there is the
honey that is made from thistles and
nlilkWeeds; it is amusing to hear the
producers of such fayors tell of their
fluctuations in making these maynard
plants grow within their restrictions.
Some of the wild flower honey is al
most black in color, and the flavor is
certainly very different from what it
was in the days when honey was hon
5ey and that fact settled the question.
It is almost verging on the indiscreet
to mention buckwheat honey nova
days. although it is still acknowledged
to have wonderful staying properties -

CLEAN HOUSEKEEPING.
italian Bees Are Extremely Neat and
DO Not Tolerate Dirt Around
fsts Their Hives.

One of the great points Of difference
between an Italian and the common
back bee is that the Italian is good
housekeeper and the black bee is a
poo- one, says Wallace's Farmer. The
Italian does not tolerate any dirty
combs or any loose chips lying on the
floor of the hive or about the entrance.
il anything gets in too big to be car
ried out, she sburies it in propolis or bee
gum. Why does she keep house in this
fashion? Partly because she likes 1t,
like most good housekeepers, and part
~ because she doesn't want any moth
eggs to be lying about in the dust,
where the moths will lay them il they
can, and then be carried into the combs
filled with bee bread, there to hatch out
and work their way between the brood
cells and spin their webs around the
wings and toes of the. baby bees. Like
most good housekeepers, the Italian is
not a nervous body. She goes at it
calmly, deliberately, has a level head,
and always keeps cool, while the black
bee gets alarmed, loses her head, and
runs whenever there is danger. The
black bee is saucy, irritable and cross
grained; the italian is good-natured,
cool-headed, but when she does ight
she means business. The black bee
will buzz around, make a terrible fuss,
and threaten to wipe the earth with
you; the Italian will strike you as quick
as lightning and say nothing about it.
Queer, isn't it, that there should be the
same difference between bees that
there is between housekeepers and be-
tween Y men; that cool head edness and
courage and effective work should be
found e in one type of bees and in one
type OF men, and that slovenliness, fuss
mess, braggadocio and ill-temper
should be found in another? There are
great many things to be learned by a
little observation in the beehive.

Feeding Glover to Fowls.

The very common advice to feed
clover to hens as an aid to egg prod
ton needs to have caution attached
to it. If hens have grain with the
clover they will not probably eat too
much Of the lighter food for their good.
But exclusive reliance on cut clover
as winter feed for a day or two may SO
clog the gizzard with light indigestible
food that when grain is given it only
makes rll the matter worse by furnishing
more heating material to ferment in
the crop. Wherever much grain Sis
given to fowls they become too fat to
lay, and it is such hens that are most
likely to be crop bound.

'To1lah a Truthful Man
But He Had to Catch Bull Moose
With q Rope to Prove It.

GABRIEL TOMAH, member of the
III Princeton (Me. branch Of the Pas
samaquoddy Indian tribe, is guide by
profession. On Monday, June S, while
he was padding in his canoe up through
the Dobsis Lake thoroughfare bound
for his camps on the upperlakes, he saw
q very large COW and bull moose quietly
feeding on small island in the center
of the stream. The island covers less
than five acres, is near the mouth of the
lake, and in some places is less than
five rods from the shore. Tomah had
waiting for him a party of hunters who
had sailed up as far as the white house
in the little naphtha launch Muriel to
avoid a long lake journey. So he spent
but little time in watching the move
ments Of the animals. He was obliged
to pass the island quite close to where
they were grazing, and expected that
I his presence would righten them away,
but in this he was mistaken. AS he pad
died along noiselessly the big bull raised
his head, and, after shifting the air a
few times as if to identify something,
walked down to the beach and out
among the. reeds straight toward the
canoe until it was less than 20 feet away.
There he stood like a statue and
watched until the intruder had passed
around the bend out of sight.
When Tomah arrived at the White
house landing he found his party with
their canoes and luggage on the shore.
While the dunnage was being placed
in the canoes he began to tell the story
of his meeting with the moose. Some
members of the party expressed a de-
sire to see a real live moose running
wild in the woods, and one of then,
Paul Hardiman, of Montreal, ventured
to ask the guide to place HIM within
rifle range, offering to pay SIS for the
chance and to take his chances as to the
law. Tomah believes in the Maine Jaw
for the protection of game animals and
refused to guide the party to the spot,
except on the condition that they
should leave their arms behind. His re-
fusalcaused the hunters to murmur and
exchange winks. At the same time they
proceeded to make uncomplimentar
remarks about Maine guides and the
big lies they have learned to tell.
I don't believe that there's a moose
within SO miles of here,' said John Nc
Donald, Of Boston. ''I've been in the
Maine woods two weeks every season
for the past 16 years, and no guide can
fool me with gush. I've come here to
fish and not to hear fairy tales. Geta
move on! Let's get started
Tomah was vexed at this remark, as
he prides himself on being. a truthful
man.

A Fable in stocks.

Once upon time an operator in stocks
was sold short, and ruin stared him in the
desperation he remembered having heard
that honesty is the best policy. He tried to
dismiss the foolish thought, but in vain.
Finally, like the drowning man catching at
the straw, he resolved to try being honest.
The very next day he put his design into ex-
ecution, and he hadn't been honest more
than Is minutes when II Of the leading bulls
fell dead, they were SO surprised at him.
Hereupon the market naturally broke, and
the operator could get all the stocks he
wanted at his own figure. It is claimed that
some, if not all, of these bulls had taken
radishes and ham for breakfast, but that, it
Is submitted, does not destroy the moral of
