undetected" writes William Everett Cram,
of My First Colony of Bees, in May Ladies'

of their tribe they were discovered and drv-

to the hive and my bees defended it valiantly;
the fighting was fierce until long after dark,
and in the morning it was again renewed
and finally the defendants were defeated with
heavy losses. The Survivors were compelled
to assist their yicto!s to carry away the cap
tured honey to the woods, and before the
midsummer sun was nalf way up the sky the
hive stood silent and deserted, save for a
few lettering pillercrs Cralling about the torn

Pan. American Exposition.

DR.. PielCe's Free Bureau of Information.-
With u liberaity that characterizes all enter
prises undertaken by Dr. r. V. Pierce, OF
Buffalo, the founder of the Worlds Dlspen
sary, he has established free bureau of in
formation and assistance, tree to visitors and
householders.
The purpose Of this bureau is to provide a
headquarters for visitors to the exposition,
where mail may be addressed and delivered
To furnish convenlcnces for correspondence,
such as writing desks, stationery, &c. To
provide list of desirable accommodations
for guests which will obviate the tiresomc
search for lodgings in Il strange city. TO
give Information concerning Buffalo and the
| adjacent points of interest, in order that the
visitors may do their sightseeing with econ,
omy of time and money. To help visiting
friends IN any way consistent with the pro-
posed scope of TIE bureau.
DR.. Pierce's Free Bureau had its origin in
the desire of the Doctor to he of some aid and
assistance to the sixty odd thousand drug.
gss and dealers, who are mostly his custo
mers; as well as his old patients; but when
the plan was formulated it was found that it
would take little more effort and expense to
care for everybody who might need the bu,
| rcal'S assistance.
When visitors arrive in Buffalo, they can
go straight to the bureau, at G52 Main Street
and ask for the needed accommodation.
No bureau organized for profit can afford
to do what Dr. Pierce is doing and no other
bureau could attempt it by reason of lack of
facilities and the great expense involved.
DR.. Pierce believes that a great medical
institution like his "World's Dispcnsary,"
that is in constant touch with thousands Of
people, has other obligations besides those
ola commercial nature.
The question Of where are you going to
