Boy a Nickel to lug his Suitcase down
to the Station. When the Train pulled In
he entered the Parlor Car and told the
dusky Minion to pick out for him the best
Chair in the Car and then bring him
something Three for a Half. Before the
Locomotive Whistled for the next Stop
he had bought two Books and a Pocket
Atlas and was wiring for a Room with
Bath.
That evening he landed in the Big Town,
where ne leased Victoria and drove to
the Hotel, reclining on the puckered cush-
ions with that unconscious Air of Indo-
lence so often observed in those who are
used to Luxuries. His Pulse had moved
up from So to ITO and he carried the Bolt
of Currency in his Left Hand SO as to get
at it in a Hurry.
Within an Hour after he struck the
Hotel he was a Central Figure in the First
Floor Promenade He was wearing his
Tux and silk Lid and his Shirt had
shelac Glisten. No amount of Talk would
have convinced him that ne was not a
Howing Swell. He was standing around
on one Foot, catching Flashes of himself
in the gilded Mirrors and whistling a last
years Coon Opus to let every one know
that he was perfectly at Ease. The Main
Chute of the Hotel was full of other
Property Pilgrims in their latest and best,
all trying to let on that they had been
brought up on the same kind of Splendor.
They loved to lean up against $14,oo
Paintings and have the Incandescent
Lights blind them.

Ex-senator Carter of Montana may be
| truthfully described as "a sadder and
wiser man'-having learned lesson in
bee culture which he will not soon for
get. 1t seems that during several years,
a swarm Of bees has been making its
home In the Carter residence, in the space
between the first and second stories. There
are always bees lowering about the prem
ises and several members of the family
| have been stung-but never the genial
senator, who declares that insects have
no terrors for him. The family is just
now packing up, preparatory to leaving
for the Far West. and on removing the
parlor carpet a distinct buzzing was
| heard under the floor. Mr.. Carter became
| interested and sent for a carpenter to
take up the boards-it seemed such a. pity
to go away and leave all the honey which
the little fellows had been so long busiiy
secreting. The boards came up and smoke
was applied-wfth the result that the bees
sailed out by millions, stinging every
thing in sight Senator Carter, being
the nearest object in pursuit OF
his Investigations. and also present.
iug considerable bulk to the winged
enemy got decidedly THE worst of the en-
counter, and is now what his wife calls
"a perfect sight with swollen probos-
els and bunged-up optics. and great swell
ings all over his face, neck and hands.
Some of the vicious little creatures even
crawled up his sleeves and his trousers
legs, leaving behind them a trail of red
hot stings. The many pounds of golden
honey taken out of that singular hive
seemed rather dearly bought, after all.
Though enough was secured to last the
whole neighborhood for years, the great
bulk of 1t was left undisturbed, because
