Senator Hertzler has engaged in
the cultivation of the bee. The
other day there was swarm unex-
pectedly. When the swarm took
place the Senator's brother mer-
chant John G. Hertzler had his
family horse tied to thefence along
/ the alley atthe rear of the lot. The
swarm of bees located on the head
and back of that geatle animal. 1t
was more than the animal could
patiently endure, and its rubbing
and stamping excited the bees and
they began to sting the animal.
! Douglass McLain succeeded in cut
ting the halter strap, and then
came the task of getting free Of the
bees which was a job th"t requir-
ed skill and bravery. The sting of
the bee was not equal to the sting
of Mauser bullet, but the COM
bined hum and sting of that swarm
seemed to he as risky a thing to
face as Filipinos entrenchment.
The Senator and his brother the
merchant were equal to the Occas-
sion and succeeded in brushing off
! the bees and getting the beast in
the strble. A doctor was called
for the horse and at last reports he
was still on tina sod and the Hertz
Ter brothers had also gotten over
the:bee stings and were again in
good health.
