a small stingless bee is found in the
state of Sinaloa and in Topic. The
honey Of these bees Is not great in
quantity, is dark colored, very liquid,
and is said not to pulverize. Another
popularity Of the honey is that it has
a decidedly sour taste and on his ac-
count II Is much cought after as being
n greater delicacy than the sweet
honey OF the tame bee. The reason
these bees are small producers is that
as they are stjngless, they are con
stantly robbed by the larger varieties,
the tame bee being one OF the robbers.

enemies went to work to prevent his
appointment, but his friends worked
the harder and the president was
firm. The appointment was made.
Bliss was then secretary, and he
and Davis were on the best of terms.
Then Bliss retired and Hitchcock
was recalled from St Petersburg and
appointed his successor. From that
day there was friction between the
secretary and his assistant This not
withstandiDg the president never fa:-
tered in his friendship for Davis.
Hardly On appointment was made in
Missouri without Davis being drawn
into consultation. In various ways
the president showed his esteem and
warm personal regard for him. Their
relations were of uniformly courte-
Gus character. He was given the
position of chief speaker in the con-
gressional campaign of 1898 and
numerous other. opportunities to DIS
tinguish himself.
No other member OF the admins
tration was given such wide latitude
in which to crown himself with laur-
els politically, and no demurrer was
made by onyone connected with the
White House at the title of ''the ora
tor of the administration" which Dav-
is proudly bore through two cam
psigns. When On his return from
Africa he went to the White House,
the president in spirit of friendly
personal interest advised him not to
take any step which might impair his
political usefulness, and he endeavor-
ed to dissuade him from resigning
his place. But Davis was determined
to end his associations with his party.
and there was no further meeting of
the two after this conference.
Some days ago the friends of Mr..
Davis, learning of his contemplated
action, wired National Committeeman
Kerens, who came to Kansas City,
but Mr.. Davis refused to see him.
The platform being adopted the
convention proceeded to nominate
MIR. Bryan for president. This was
done with spirit of unity and pstri-
otto enthusiasm seldom seen in con-
ventions. On the next day the con-
vention nominated a e. Stevenson,
of Illinois, for vice president, and adj
journed.

form was read by Senator Tillmsn of
South Carolina. AS he proceeded
with full voice that could be heard
all over the hall, cheer upon cheer
greeted the reading of the various
planks of the platform. Now let the
Kansas City Journal (rep.) tell what
happened.
But it remained for his reading of
the declaration, imperialism Is the
paramount issue Of this campaign" to
evoke a storm of enthusiasm. The
delegates spraDg to their feet, stand
ing on their chairs. waving handker-
chiefs, umbrellas, and flags, while the
galleries took up the chorus and car
ried it along for many minutes. Sen
ator Hill could be seen marshaling
the hosts to cheer. He held fan
high above his head and added his
voice to the vociferous shouting. A
second time Senator TllIman read
this defamation, and now even q
greater demonstration than before
carried the convention off its feet.
Suddenly hundreds, then thousands
of miniature American flags were
passed among the delegates and the
whole floor of the vast structure be-
came sea Of flags An instant later
the flags swept over the galleries like
mass of flame. Bundles Of them
were tossed up on, the seats and DIS
tributed. The scene was magnificent
ly inspiring and the great audience
was worked up to fever heat. On
each flag was the device 'The con-
stitution and the flag are insepsrable,
now and forever. The flag of the re-
public forever, of an empire, never"
While the demonstration was at its
height the band sent another thrill
through the audience by playing
"Dixie" and a medley of patriotic
airs State standards were again
torn from their sockets. banners were
raised, and triumphal procession of
delegates marched about the hall
Now the strains of the band turned
to "My Country, IT'S of Thee" at
which the entire audience, as with a
single voice, joined in mighty and
swelling chorus. Amid the billowlng
of the flags could be seen tall stand
ard bearing the inscriptions:
"Forcible annexation would be
criminal aggression.
, WILLIAM MKINLEY."
It was at this juncture that the eli
max was sprung upon the great as
sembly. A huge flag had been sluDg
across the roof between two of the
trusses, and as the signal was given
the cords were cut. and slowly it IN
rolled its white and crimson folds as
1t fell gracefully and hung over the
platform, slightly to the rear and
south of the speakers desk. The
banner was an enormous affair, being
fully fifty feet long, and about one
half as wide. Upon the white stripes
were printed the following sentences

of bloc:
Unconstitutional Governments De-
rive Their Just Powers From the
Consent of the Governed"
THE Constitution and the Flag,
One and Inseparable Now and For
ever"
"The Flag of Republic Forever,
of an Empire, Never.
"a Republic Can Have No Colon
ies."
To the vast majority of those in the
hall, the fag was an unexpected Incl
dent and its appearance was the sig
nal for frantic roar, which caused
everything that had gone before it to
sink into insignifcance. For full
two minutes the cords of the flag
caught and would not permit it to
fall to its full length. It was caught
up just enough to prevent the con-
vention from reading the inscriptions
upon the banner and until they were
released ana the banner swung free
the enthusiasm increased every Sec
ond. When finally every word was
visible, there was a climax of cheers
that was deafening.
Senator Tillman stood surveying
the storm and awaiting an opportuni-
ty to proceed. The chairman pound
ed his gavel and appealed for order.
But the march of the delegates, bear
ing their standards and banners, ran
on unlnterruptedly for twenty-five
minutes. AS Senator Tillman was
about to resume, he remarked that
the thread of his discourse had been
broken, and that down south they
we're IN the habit of saying ''Hell has
broken loose ID Georgia.
And" added the senator vocifer-
ously, ''if Mark Hanna had been here
few minutes ago he would have
thought hell had broken loose in Mis-
souri,"
The platform was adopted by &C.
clsmation. Hon. Webster Davis, of
Kansas City, was introduced and
made a speech in which he said that
! he was for the platform and Bryan.
Davis was an aggressive Mckinley
man during the campaign of 1896.
He had completed his term as mayor
of Kansas City and was among the
MIssourlans who called on President
Mckinley at the White House soon
after the inauguration of 1897.
While the MissourIans were filing
past the president to shake hands,
Davis was singled out with the heart
lest kind of hendclssp and told to
stand from out the line for private
conversation. As soon as the presi-
dent was disengsged he told him
that he intended to reward him for
his good work IN the campaign.
"Pick out something to your liking
and let me know what it 49," said the
president.
Davis selected the place of assist
ant secretary of the interior. His
