Black or German Bees.

Mr.. EDITOR: [ promised a few
| words on the different races OF
bees. As blacks are most common
among us we will speak of them
first.
omparing them with the Ital-
lians, they are more inclined to rob,
are not as good honey gatherers,
only when nectar is abundant.
They are more nervous; and when
a hive is opened they will run all
over the hive, from corner to cor
ner. like a house, boiling over in
confusion, they are in a wild
scramble all the time while being
hapdled. Their queens are much
harder to find. They are apt to
follow the one working with them
all over the place.
We next take up the Carniolians.
They are some larger than the
blacks. They, as rule, do not
run all over the hive in such con-
fusion as the native blacks. They
are excessive swarmers, this makes
them undesirable. Of course they
are very docile and easy to handle,
but are considered too prolific to
be safe in winter.
Then we have the Egyptians,
tried in our; country to some ex-
text. They have been considered
inferior, too much so to be in favor
with US.
The. we have the Cyprus bee or
Holylandnrs. The queens are
very yellow and nice, but the work
ers ate very inferior even to the
SEE nd and third generations, and
are very delicate any way.
Then we notice the Italians, the
oee of all bees in all our common
country. Of course they have been
imported from Italy, they are good
workers, easy handled, easy to win
ter, and good all around bees. Now
let US at least cross our common
bee with them, we admit that any
race of hybrids will be spiteful, but
the best honey gatherers on earth.
That is what we want in this State.
Now there are other races could be
mentioned, but not worth their
room. The greatest thing in my
experience with the full blood
Italians is that they are said to be
the only sure moth preventive In

HE LOVES HIS DOGS.
St. Louis Bachelor Has Started a
Cemetery for Them.
Ten Little MOunds Mark the Graves of
Doc HRig's Canine Friends-HiS
Home Mecca for the Ours
of the NeighbOrhOOd.

Robert Haig, or doc" Haig, as he is
more Familiarity known, has, on his
premises, about one mile north of
Webster Grove, little graveyard
which the St. Louis Republic de
scribes as unique.
Shaded by a hedge fence, which
divides hisyard from the street, are ten
small mounds, and nesting still closer
in the brambly bushes are ten head
stones. These mark the last resting
places of ten of Haig's companions;
they are the graves of as many dogs.
The designation of the animals as
Haig's companions is correct. They
might even be called his family
no relatives nearer than New Yea
land. The old man himself regards
dogs as almost human, and says that
with dogs ne never feels lonely.
The ten little headboards symbol
He ten memories-ten memories of
faithful. romping and affectionate
companions who have been put for
ever away from him, whose limbs
lie in the cold earth.
Years ago Haig was soldier IN
the British army, and he still cher
fishes the lifelong belief of Tommy
Atkins''-that the British soldiery is
invincible, and always will be. In
his bachelor home he still has the
uniform and arms he wore while in
service, though the date of his soldier
ing is 80 years back.
From his earliest days he loved
dogs and horses, and, while not a man
of means, he has nearly always man.
aged to have both. In the army he
was in the cavalry, and he owned
q huge deerhound that was the mas
cot of the regiment.
In 1888 Haig moved to this country.
He first settled in Kirkwood, but two
years later moved TO Webster. BE

built a little two-room cottage in
Webster Ihghts, which is his present
home. Here he keeps bachelor quar-.
tiers. He prepares his own meals and
docs all his own work. On one side
of the cottage is small stable, where
he keeps his horse "Bess." This is
a beautiful animal and knows it's
master. BY some subtle telepathy
''Bess" seems to know him when he
approaches and whinnies with delight
at his footsteps.
II is due to the malice of some of
his neighbors that ten of his pets
have been placed under the sod in
ten years. All the dogs have been
poisoned.
Haig is not very talkative. When a
reporter called and said that he had
heard of his liking dogs and of his
little cemetery, and that the pub
lie, having also place in it's regard
for dogs, might like to hear some
thing about him, the old man smiled
and led the way to the strange grave
yard. The sight of the ten stone
slabs oiled his tongue somewhat.
The first bore the inscription;
''Medam," Entered Into Rest June IA,
1884,
"Medam," said Haig, "was a mas
tiff, and a beauty" Others were
marked Bob" Prince" "Mollie, :"
and so on. OF each of his departed
friends, Haig had word to say. One
was carriage dog, another a grey
hound, another fox terrier; many
breeds were represented
AT present Haig has only one dog.
1t is small Scotch terrier, and an

Haig condescends to caress him.
Rags" is simply carried away with
delight. His body seems converted
into a mass of vibrant muscle. which
however, will not admit him to wag
his tail to the full extent that he de
sires.
The old mans love for dogs seems
TO be reciprocated by the animals in
general. Dogs OF the neighborhood
make their rendezvous at hisfbacheIor
home, and walk In and out OF his
open door as If they owned the place

by this gang. This reign of terror
was terminated by the late Police In
spector Michael Setback.
Now, says the Chicago Tribune. a
new era OF terror has seized the
street. This time it is not gang of
human beings, but a big ''billy goat"
owned by Peter Maloney, an under
taker. One day last week Mr.. Ma
1oney called upon his friend Michael
McGarry, who lives over in Goose is
land.
"Why don't you take one of these
goats home with you?' asked Nc
Garry. Now that you have livery
stable, you have plenty of room to
keep it. Moreover, you know that
goats are wholesome for horses"
Sure" said Maloney, "that would
mt be a bad idea. think will"
That night Maloney's livery stable
had a new boarder. Maloney built
nice stall for the goat and called him
Terry McGovern."
The goat was not accustomed to
such luxuries, and showed his dis
like for them by eating the rope
which held him and breaking down
the STALL
However, the real trouble did not
start until the next day, when Mr..
Maloney let Terry" out to get the
fresh air.
20, what a pretty goat!" ex-
claimed a stout, elderly woman. pat
ting Terry on the back. Now, this
was fiattery, which is one of the many
things Terry disiikes. he gave a
Terry McGovern rush and his ad-
mirer landed in a sitting position in
the middle of the street. The pa
troll wagon came to quell the riot
that followed.
On the corner is a grocery store.
When Terry feels hungry he makes
feast on the grocer's cabbage and
other vegetables. Next door to Mr.
Maloney lives Mr.. Schmidt, his Ger
man friend, who was the proud own
er of big mastiff that could whip
any dog on the street. Now Mr.
Schmidt is mourning the loss of his
mastiff. Even the policeman on the
beat is in dread.

ciety girls who battle in cove a few
miles from there daily. The girls
fondly dreamed no one suspected the
spot and went as usual for their after
neon swim. They entered the water,
when one of the maidens stepped on a
turtle that had been placed there by
the men and it seized her toe.
Panic reigned and the men con.
cealed in the brush were laughing at
the scene when the girls, discovering
their proximity and suspecting the
cause of the accident, showered a
quantity of stones on their. heads,
knocking Marvin into The water and
rendering him unconscious. Death
might have been the result, for the
girls became frightened and fed, but. he
was pulled out by Hunt and after CON
siderable hard work resuscitated.
