THE Irish Hero" The Ideals opening

the magnificent production, In the Heart of

it has ever been presented here at popular
prices and theatre-goers can look forward to
an unusually clever production.
HIGH CLASS COMEDY.
The presentation Of Wilfred Clarke's farce
"A Wise Woman. ~ at Fergusons theatre Sat
urday night, was witnessed by a large and
enthusiastic audience. 1t is an old play, re-
written under new name, but the manner
in which it was presented by Marie Lamour
and Frederick Murphy and their support,
was a revelation to local theatre-goers The
play is novel, and gives room for high-class
comedy, which those assuming the leading
roles were fully equal to. Special mention
should be given Miss Lamour and Messrs.
Murphy and Jones. The former is known
off the stage as Miss Murphy, and she is a
sister to her leading man. Their home is at
Danville, Ohio. Both came mp to the high
expectations of the audience, aud it is doubt
ful whether Shenandoah has been favored
with better entertainment in long time.
What is true of the leading characters is
equally true of the other members of the COM
pany. Let us have more attractions of the
same class, Manager Ferguson.

HANDLING TIE BEES


No one should think Of opening the
hives and working with bees In cold
weather in winter, or In cool weather
In summer. There are but few days
during the winter that ono can do any
successful work with bees. says writer
In Texas Farm and Ranca, and that Is
only an occasional day that Is warm
enough for them to fly, and at any other
tine it will lie a detriment to them
to molest them. Bees should remain In
absolute repose during all cold weather.
There should not be path or road
way near where the hives are sit
ting that is to be travelled by either
man or beast during winter. The jar
ring ,ha; hives frequently get from
heavy winds is very injurious to them.
Not only in winter, but In spring and
summer there Is IL wonderful difference
in results by handling bees at the
proper time. All handling of bees on
ccol days and rainy days ought to be
avoided II possible. 1t makes bees irri-
table 10 be thus handled. and with but
Little effort we can have them at fight
ing pitch. This is also true when ham
ding them early in the morning or late
In the evening. The proper time to
work with bees is on brig II days, and
from nine o'clock II. III. to four o'clock
y. III. Much better work can he done,
and with greater satisfaction. when the
bees are busy at work gathering honey,
and the more busily they are occupied
the less liable they are to show any OPP
position. During the honey season bees
may be handled right a!ong every day
without the aid OF smoke, and much
better work can be performed without
smoke if we but go about it in Il proper
manner. Handling bees at the time
above referred to, and doing the work
carefully SO as to avoid arousing them
by rough usage. we can almost dispense
with the bee smoker during the honey
season and get along much better with
out it. To use the smoker whenever
we handle n colony OF bees is to whip
, them into subsection, which is abso-
lutely wrong, for If the little fellows
want to be on friendly terms with us,
and allow MS TO handle them thus. why
should we make battle with them and
whip them into subie"tion, without any
provocation on their part? Such treat
mcnt would seem that we had less in
telligence than they.

The World of Thought.

You think your world a narrow sphere.
And long to follow fancy's flight.
Which makes the outside world appear
More fair than that which lies SO near.
Because 1t is beyond your sight.
Each life Is very much the same,
Environments the common lot,
Hnd few have won a deathless name.
End yet this life need not be tame,
Fen though by destiny begot.
For lying at your very door
Is all the whole wide world OF thought.
Nh, why its vastness thus ignore.
Ehen all It's realms you may explore?
Loss waits you while It dies unsought.

NOTES FOR THE APIARY.

The greatest hindrapce to large honey
crops is letting the bees run short Of
stores in spring.
When the brood-chamber becomes SO
full of bees that they are somewhat
crowded for room, additional space
should be added.
We cannot look for much surplus
honey If we allow the bees to swarm at
will. because excessive swarming will
be the rule with them.
A colony that is slow In building up
now may have defective queen or may
have none at all. An examination will
usually disclose the trouble.
Cross, stinging bees are usually the
result of improper handling. Rough
treatment will not succeed, but will ir-
ritate the bees almost beyond redemp-
ton. In handling do not kill a bee II
you can possibly avoid it.
No one can get aong without bee
smoker when working with bees; even
C specialist does not think of handling
bees without it. The smoker is indis-
pensable, and many fail to perform the
work necessary by being without one.
1t is a very erroneous idea that some
people have, that bees are always look
ing around for some one to attack and
sting. Bees as rule do not venture an
attack on anyone or anything. They
simply defend. when attacked, In n
vicious manner, and only make q de-
fense of their hives and stores.-Jour-
nal of Agriculture.

What Dorothy Says

One morning unto her said:
''The pies that mother used to make,
And likewise, too. her bread and cake.
Were of the best. Now strive, my lass.
To get in mothers cooking class"
She looked me squarely in the eye
And made this innocent reply:
ITO cook ike her I'll surely try;
Dut"-and her look was very sly
II want a cook stove, nice and bright.
Sent up to me this very night
A stove like father used TO buy"
The years are many Ger my head
Since unto Dorothy l said

I've not forgotten how Dottie looked
The day made trat first bad break
About how mother used to bake.
But let me say a word, twiEt you and l.

I've seen her unto me draw r!g.,
And with a glitter In her eye

Just like my father used to buy"
