fsow 10 Handle Bees.

a person commencing TO keep bees
should learn their habits and approved
methods of handling them. They should
buy few hives of bees from a relia-
bile bee keeper. The best time to buy
is in the spring. Be sure that you have
strong colony in the hive and enough
honey to feed them until they can gath
er their food from spring flowers. If
you have shade trees, place your hives
near them so the bees can be sheltered
from the direct rays of the sun. II
the land slopes have an eastern expos-
ure, II possible, il you have no natural
shelter, provide one. We are just old
fashioned enough to believe that it
pays as wei 20 shelter bees as any 9th.
err live thing on the place. All energy
consumes power. Energy has to be
provided bees in the shape of honey.
1t takes honey to provide the energy
for the bees who fan the hive In the
extreme heat, also to keep the bees
warm in the cold; shelter will reduce
both heat and cold. So IL the farmer
keeps few hives he will fiud ii to his
interest to invest in a small amount of
lumber. Bees. when they can gather a
full supply of honey, send off new col
onies. The management of bees al and
before swarming time would take more
space than the editor can spare. so we
will leave that for another paper. OF
course, In these days only movable
comb hives are used, as you will wish

Dispatches from South McAlester, Che

the Five Nations aud that general up
rising throughout the territory of full

More United States troops will be ask

that 1,500 full-bloods are under arms.
The whole country is excited and under

the fear of outlaw bands which threaten

EIGRTY-SEVERTH MILESTONE
In Life'S Journey Celebrated Saturday by
Mr.. F. A. Wheeler.

In the usual course of human events
the privilege is accorded to but com.
paratively few mortals to count the
slowly passing years until the records
of time show more than so years pass
ed on this mundane sphere. To very
few is the great boon given to retain
perfect control over both mental and
physical faculties at an age when the
with these octogenarians are sleeping
quietly in the grave. When by the de-
cree of Providence such a person is
spared to friends and relatives the oc-
casion of his or her anniversary of
birth becomes a day characterized by
Thanksgiving and joy.
Such an opportunity was given to
the friends and relatives of Mr.. F. A.
Wheeler, who on Saturday afternoon
celebrated the day upon which date 81
years ago ne came into the world.
The friends of Mr.. Wheeler were
asked to assemble at his home on Put
nam street and spend the afternoon
and evening in social Intercourse.
The following gentlemen responded
to the invitation; DR.. John Boyd
Messrs. Taskar Bosworth. Kent
Loomis, d. H. Bull, Mr.. Brazier, H. n.
Curtis, Mr.. Angle, r. d Cooke and Dr..
Sam Hart.
A chatting dish party provided the
the refreshments of the eveing. The
hours were pleasantly passed by VEN
cradle Mr.. Wheeler and his friends in
recounting the events of years gone
by.
Mr.. Wheeler is in rood health and
is blessed with a cheerful disposition
notwithstanding his 81 years. 1t was
with the wish that his years might be
prolonged under the same happy con-
ditions that the guests bade their host
good night.

BUCKEYE STATE.

Pearson's Magazine for February
contains some very interesting Ohio
history, and prominent among the ii.
lustrations are some familiar Marietta
scenes.
The following appears in the histori-
cal article:
1t was during the earlier half of the
century that the nickname, "The
Buckeye State" came gradually to be
applied to Ohio. The word Ohio is it.
self generally translated from the In
dian as 1.-The beautiful river" On the
early French maps the stream is des-
ignated simply as the ia Belle Ri
Were" The more practical and COM
monplace English settlers aDodted the
Indian name, first for the river, and
then for the State, as matter of con =
venience. With Yankee propensity
for nicknames, however they seized
upon the prevalence of the buckeye
tree to designate their State, and took
pride in calling themselves buckeye
boys"
This was highly appropriate selec-
tion, for the genuine Ohio buckeye
tree, variety of the horse chestnut, is
found only in the State and district i'm
mediately surrounding it. The wood
is of soft fibre. but it is difficult to
burn, and it is said in Ohio that five
sticks of any other kind of wood are
required to consume one of buckeye.
The early settlers found it extremely
useful, however, in building their log
houses and barns and fences. and
through their utilization of it for these
purposes they came to regard it with
pride as the emblem of the State.
In 1910, when General William Hen
ry Harrison. the first citizen of the
new State to be nominated for the pres
idency, was put up as the candidate
for the Whig party, the buckeye be-
came familiar in song and speech all
over the country 1t was known as
the log cabin and hard cider" cam
paign, from the fact that the Wings
took up as their battle cry the slurring
remark of one of their opponents, who
said that Harrison lived in log cabin
and that hard cider was his favorite |
beverage. Instantly log cabins sprang
up in almost every township as the
center of political rallies, and hard |
cider flowed in abundance at every |
Whig gathering. In their parades the |
Ohioans mounted cabins made of Buck
eye logs on their ox-wagons, and |
marched behind them, singing a cam
paign song which ran:
"Oh, where. tell me where
Was your buckeye cabin made?
Twas buflt among the merry boys
Who WELD the plow and spade
Where the log cabins stand,
In the bonnie buckeyes shade"
Thus the word buckeye became syn.
1nymous with Ohio, and the two prob
lbly will be linked together until tha
asst Ohio buckeye shall have disap-
)eared from its native heath.

1t would appear that the craze for
getting office is not confined wholly to
Ohio after all. A member of the West
Virginia Legislature is attempting to
have himself appointed as postmaster
of Fairmount. and he is not even a
resident of the town. However. he is
a truly born politician, as he has in.
troduced in the House of Delegates
bill providing for the extension of the
corporation limits thus making him
citizen and eligible to the postmaster
ship. Such a move may not be termed
hlgh-class craftsmanship, but it cannot
be denied that it is at least thrifty.
The sons of former Presidents are to

Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ar
thur end Harrison are mentioned
John Tyler's son seems to have been
forgotten. One of the former Presi-
dents sons, Lyon G. Tyler, is president
OF William and Mary College, of Vir-
ginia. The gentlemen who are ar
ranging the exercises for March have
apparently overlooked him.
