Pike County Bee Culture.
Tom Bergen Thought Might Work Winter Well
mer Used Spur Their Energies That
Got Everybody Into Trouble
BY EDWIN j. WEBSTER.
"Old Ben Bergen knew about bees

''Old Ben Bergen knew about bees
and he had enjoyed familiar ac-
quaintance with Pike county whiskey
for 9 nmber of years said Deacon

the two he fell from grace. That's
the reason he isn't an elder in the

of Pennsylvania.
Tom greediness lay at the bot
tom of Ill his present troubles. For
years h,, had raised bees and made a
good thing of it, but last fall the idea
struck him that his bees might just
as well work winter as summer.
There's that big greenhouse of mine,
lighted and heated all through the
winter will put my poor, cold bees
in it. They won't know it's winter
and will keep on making honey. 1t
will be an act of Christian charity
he says complacently, and, besides
that, your Uncle Thomas will get
more honey

SOieInDly, Dub DtcS EiNG llcil IlSiito.
It's an outrage to make an honest, in
dustrious bee who has been working
all the summer keep at the job by
gold-bricking him into the belief that
winter hasn't come
but Tom wasn't to be changed
from his purpose. When the weather
began to get cold he moved all, his
hives into the greenhouse. Those
poor, faithful, hard working bees were
just beginning to ease up in their
honey-making before settling down
for good winters rest and sleep. 1t
was plain they were puzz,l Jed at finding
themselves in place where it was al
most as warm as summer. But they
had a world of trust in Tom, and
every bee soon settled down to work
and gathered in honey from the green
house in a way that tickled Tom Ber-
gems soul.
Did you ever see happier, more
contented bees?' he asked me. Over
working them? Why, it's q pleasure
and novelty never before experienced
by Pike county bees to be working
in a modern greenhouse, with the sun

at him and his dignity was hurt.
"'When an able, but modest old man
is planning a step which may change
the bee industry of tlke county, he
says severely, it isn't any time to be
casting ridicuIe on him. Those bees
of mine will feel better during the
winter months for a little bracer to
start them up in the morning, and |

"'It's leading virtuous bees into
drunkard's graves | varied him.
In the end neither blessing nor profit
will come of it,
but Tom was stubborn. IF / get
the honey, he replied, Il can look out
for the profit myself. AS for the bless
ing | will try and worry through the
winter without it,
''The next day Tom put saucer
filled with whsley and water in front
of the entrance to each hive. At first
the bees didn't pay any attention to
it, BY and by one young bee, attract
ed by the fragrant odor of good
whiskey, took little nip. You never
saw such q change in Il bee. From a
tired, listless little animal he was
turned into the busiest honey gather
er in the hive, and went around buzz
ing and humming as if he was singing
some bee drinking song. Pretty soon
the other bees took a drink, and by
the time the saucers were emptied
every bee was working as hard as ever
he could, and singing away, as if he
never before appreciated what real bee
happiness was.
THAT day the bees gathered more
honey than ever on a summer day.
Tom was delighted over the success of
his plan.
"a man don't appreciate how hui
man bees are until he has seen the way
they take to good whiskey. | get the
honey, the bees have a good drink,
and every one is happy. It's a reve-
lation i'll bee culture that your I'M
Gle Tom Bergen is about to spring on
an admiring community
THE next day the bees went right
to their whiskey and water and got a
drink before they began work. So it
was the next day and the next. But
Tom noticed one thing, and that was
that each day the bees wanted more
whisl>ey and less water in their morn
ing bracer. Then they got so that
they had to have two or three drinks
a day. Tom didn't care, for the bees
were making lots of honey. and for
some reason, which Tom didn't under
stand at the time, there was a ire
mendous demand for his honey. OF
course, people like good fresh honey
he said in sort of a puzzled way, but
that doesn't seem to account for the
eagerness with which old fellows who
never seemed to care two pins for
sweets rush to get in their orders for
my honey. / wonder if there isn't
some other reason And there was.
"Onc day old Elder Brown, who is
at the head of the Band of Temper
ance Workers, called at Toms green
house.
I've eaten honey all my life,' says
Elder Brown earnestly, but | never
tasted honey that could compare with
yours. l guess I'll take little of it
now
so the elder bought box of honey.
As soon as he had the box in his hand

longing way.

In a few months we shall be bowling
about something in another part of the
world"
Mr.. Labouchere's reply to Mr.. Cham
berIain admits the letters are genuine,
but declines to recognize Mr.. Cham
berlain's 'pretension" to ask for an
explanation on a matter concerning
which he is only responsible to parlia-
ment and my constituents and invites
Mr.. Chamberlain; in the pursuance of
his new diplomacy to publish all the
correspondence between the colonial Of
flee and the governors of Natal and
Cape Colony, and between the COVER
nOrs and military commanders in
South Africa so that they may be able
to form a sound opinion on the whole
business, including the inadequate
preparations and initial reverses, and
also especially the 'Hawksley CORE
sDondence."
B. A. Hawksley was counsel for the
British South Africa company at the
time of the Jameson raid, and was
generally supposed to have been well
informed on all matters connected with
it. The Independence Beige in Janu-
airy, 1899, published a number of let
tiers to and from Mr.. Hawksley pur-
porting to show that Mr.. Chamberlain
was an accomplish to the Jameson raid,
but other and more important letters
are said to be in existence. 1t was
claimed at the time that the disclosures
did not prove Mr.. Chamberlain com
plicity in the raid. but demonstrated
his completely in the efforts made af-
terward to stifie the matter.

QUEER DISEASE KILLS HOP
BAILEY & SONS IN NEPHI Z
NINE HEAD.
Veterinaries Are Unable to Explain
the Strange Affection-Farmers
Fear an Epidemic.
(Snecial to The Herald.l

Nephi, Aug 21.-L. A. Bailey & Sons
of this city have lost nine head of
horses from disease during the last six
weeks. They are now left with only
a young colt belonging to one of the
mares that died.
The farmers here are greatly alarm
ed fearing an epidemic.
Mr.. Bailey, in describing the disease,
says:
THE first sign is weakness of the
lower limbs which causes stumbling,
then the animal falls and has no more
use of the limbs. It is sensible almost
to the last, eats and drinks well, does
not grOan nor diffuse at nOstrils, and
apparently has no fever. 1t lives gem
orally twelve to thirty-siX hours after
stricken"
Mr.. Bailey went to Salt Lake to con-
suit a veterinary surgeon, but gained
no satisfaction and is now correspond
ing with VeterinarieS in the east.
They separated their horses after the
first died and fed some hay and oats
and pastured others. Some were fat
and others normal, but this apparently
made no difference.

FRIENDLY COMMERCIAL
TREATY WITH SPAIN SIGNED

Florida as q colony of Spain.
Several efferts were made 10 remedy
the defects, but only one was partially
successful. the adoption of the Cushing
protocol. The last attempt was made
when Mr.. Olney was secretary Of state,
but the strained relations growing out
of Cuban affairs caused the effort to
fail. 1t is understood that Minister
StOrer negotiated with Dupuy De LONE,
former Spanish minister to the United
States and now under secretary Of
state, who, of course, is thoroughly con-
versant with all the conditions of trade
likely to arise.
Although the general provisions are
not known in detail at this stage, it is
understood that the instrument pro-
vides the usual facilities for inter-com-
munication and probably contains pro-
visions which carry out those relations
growing out of the territorial conditions
resulting from the war.

TOURISTS ARE STRANDED.
Many Americans in Europe Marooned
By Agency.


New York, Aug. 21.-A dispatch to

With regard to the stranded Ameri-
can tourists, Mr.. Crawford declares he
has done his best for them, but they
will be finally compensated. He admits
that both hotel and railway coupons
were in most cases invalid and that the
tourists have been thrown on their own
resources until their steamer sails. Nor
does he deny that many tourists from
Switzerland had come to Paris third
class-that is. with emigrant tickets
paid for by themselves.
In an interview, DR.. Hill of Salem, a
trustee of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety, attempts to minimize the i'm
pOrtance of the affair. but admits that
5000 was tied up: that the railway
coupons were out of date and that the
tourist agency has been compelled to
refuse aid to the tourists.
