are allowed to run wild as they do in

Is1sBoS {By Gable1.-A semi-ofacial nota
TO the press regarding the Anglo-German
agreement has just been issued. 1t IS az
follows:
The British and German Governments
having previously reached an agreement
between themselves, informed Portugal
that fn the event OF her contracting q large
loan Tor tho purpose OF ~reorganizing her
finances, the two Governments were dis
posed to guarantee the success OF the
operation.
Al the same time, the Governments OF
Great Britain n Germany assured Port
ugal that the basis of the agreement be-
tween them was the recognition OF the In
:tegrity Of the Portuguese colonial domln-
ions and the legitimacy OF the Portuguese
sovereignty over the Portuguese possess
sfons.
"Tney further suggested that In the
event Of Portugal accepting a proposal
concerning q loan, the latter should be
guaranteed BY the colonial and customs
receipts.

shared that It had no need OF such 4 loan,

such need to the present day

GOT THE BEES.

On Monday afternoon a swarm
OF bees came flying into town
from the northeast and alighted
ON the topmost branch of one Of
those naples in front of Trout's
drug store. Thinking they
might be from the apiary of NJ.
IL. Shalfner, from the direction
in which they came, the News
office telephoned Mr.. Shafner TO
count his bees. He called the
roll and found his all at home:
but he came down street and
enlisted the sympathy of Rev.
Mr.. Grove, another bee enthu-
siasti, and soon a hive was under
the tree. Mr.. Grove climbed up.
and with his pocket knife, cut off
the branch to which the bees
were clinging, brought them
down, and put them i'm the hive
just as though bees never stung
preachers. He took them to his
home and placed the hive among
those of his own. In a short
time the strangers came out of
their new home, and most of
them went into the hives with the
other bees. The queen came out.
and flew away for some time,
when she returned and alighted
on the top of the hive. She was
nice one, and Mr. Grove pick
ed her up put her in Il cage, and
will substitute her for queen
that is inferior in one of the other
hives.
