TONS OF HONEY.

tNAVitASC'io iSApie
Mr.. j. B. Moses. of Scotch Grove,
township, who keeps a goodly colony
of bees on his farm, as a diversion and
side issue declares that this is an ex-
ceptionally favorable season for the
production of honey. The immense
crop Of white clover has given the in
dnstrious little honey gatherers an
abundance OF working material. The
honey Is Very white and clear, and at
the low price 1t is sold for will yield
greater returns than it did last year,
when 1t was less abundant and higher
priced. Fresh honey is commanding a
price Of 10 cents per pound, which is
A cents less than the ruling price OF
last year. Mr.. Moses has a colony OF
115 swarmS. He has taken more than
1000 pounds of clear honey from the
those figures before the close of the
season. In fact he has equipped his
hives with sections for the storing Of
5000 pounds. though he hardly expected
them all to be filled. 1t would be eX
ceptional to have such a harvest, al
though his bees made 5000 pounds last
year, as poor as the season was. Mr.
Moses stores his bees in the cellar in
the winter, and rarely loses a swarm.
He says that the old idea of making a
great deal of noise in order to frighten
swarm into alighting is now dis
carded. Seldom will they go far before
seeking temporary abiding place on
a convenient limb.

style, the artiiierymen were surrounded
and the umpire decided that the bat
terry had been captured. Altho this
decision was proper one from the
point of view of an expert and strate-
sist. 1T reckoned without the men beA
hind the guns. They did not see any
reason why they should surrender, and
accordingly made desperate charge
on the infantry. The fighting that en-
sued was in no wise sham The dead
and wounded rose and laid about them
with fevor, and abated not of their
stoutness because from a strategic
poinr of view they had been whipped.
Before the battle ended dozen men
were wounded and field hospital was
eXtemporiZed.
An article in a German newspaper,
translated in the New York Evening
Jew batting and American lynch'ng,
strikes the nail on the head in the fol-
lowing: cover here and over there the
same circle. First you Gepress whole
people until they are pariahs, deny
them civic equality, social recognition,
industrial peace, and then when you
have made them cowardly, dirty,
treacherous hyenas. you kill them as
hyenas or pour petroleum over them
and let them cook. Good Lord!"

HOW THE NEWS COMES.

Readers of modern newspaper often
wonder how the paper gets its news SO
quickly Such was the exclamation Oh
noted Catholic divine yesterday When'
at about s O'Clock in the morning, one
Of the T.-R. force called him up by
phone to tell him who had been elected
pope. He could not understand how the
paper could get the news so soon. It
is all due to the Associated Press, of
which the T.-R. is member. That or
sanitation, being cooperative society
Of all the leading daiies in the United
States. maintains an experienced jour-
naiist at every foreign capital and at
nearly every important town in the
world. Events of international interest
are flashed to New York by cable with
characteristics Yankee enterprise and
from there telegraphed to four or five
Associated Press centers in large cities
and again distributed by wire to every
newspaper enjoying membership IN
the association. London received its
first news Of the new pope's election
via New York and from the Associated
Press dispatch. London daillss, OIL
course. had men at Rome watching the
vatican, but The Yankee reporter for the
Associated Press got the news, cabled
1t to America and some friend in Amer
lea sent 1t back to London by cable be-
fore the slow-moving Britisher could
get his news on the wires.
The same performance is happening
every day. The expense Of keeping men
On the alert for news events In foreign
lands would be prohibitiye to any one
newspaper. Even the task OF station
ing q man at every one OF some 10000
postoffice towns In the United States
would be task beyond the capacities
of one newspaper. But In the Assoc
ciated Press nearly thousand newspa-
pers have combined and co-operated to
such an extent that if He'll should
break loose today anywhere In the
whole wide world American newspapers
would have man on the spot and
newsboys would be crying the event
with an extra on the streets in almost
thirty minutes. 1t is for this reason
that a paper published at the close of
the day, like the T.-R., can give the
first news to its readers in nearly nine
cases out of ten. Days are ended in
Europe several hours before they end
in America, which gives ample time for
the last news of the day to come across
the seas, be set in type and appear In
the afternoon newspapers accurate and
complete. Such are the wonders of
modern achievement.

Your most delightful acquaintance is
the man who grows on you. You Know
people in plenty who DO not gam IN
your appreciation; every time you meet
them they seem more shallow and more
petty than before. Indeed. there are
times when your discoveries of inner
character within the circle of your as
sociations run so much to the revela-
ton of paltriness that you feel in dan
ger of being compelled to discount all
human nature as Il deceiving sham.
But the man who grows on you saves
you from cynicism. Every day you are
finding in him some factor of man
hood that you had not expected; every
day he proves in q new test to have
resources Of strength upon which you
have not counted in your estimate of
him.

ALASKA AS A BARGAIN.

"A dispatch from Seattle states that
within period of five Years the total
receipts of gold dust and gold bullion
amount to S73,S64,7so, or more than
s14.000,0oo per year. OF this amour,
t11,2S5.971 came from the mines OF
Nome. s54.s42,144 from the Klondike,
t3,4eS.7S0 from British Columbia, ST.
154,e37 from Treadwell and other Alas
ka mines, and s1.153,S56 from mines of
Washington and Oregon. The dispatch
leads the Inter Ocean TO round up the
advantages of Alaska from a cash ball
anee viewpoint and to unearth the re-
marks and opinions OF congressman at
the time the territory was purchased
from Russia in 1867.
The United States in 1857 paid ST.
100000 for Alaska. This was at the
rate of cents an acre, but congress-
men quite generally agreed that the
price was too high.
General b. F. Butler. of Massachu-
1858, to pay Russia the ST,200,000 for
her friendship and ask her to keep
Alaska. He declared that at any time
within twenty years we could have had
Alaska for the asking, and added:
mo man, except one insane enough
to buy the earthquakes in st. Thomas
and the ice fields of Greenland, could
be found to agree to any other terms
for the acquisition of Alaska"
Mr.. washburn. of Wisconsin, insisted
that Greenland was better territory
to purchase than Alaska, which, he
said. was absolutely without value.
Hiram Price, congressman from Iowa,
said: Alaska is a dead loss to US any
way and the more expense we incur
the worse it Is for the country and the
people"
Orange Ferriss. congressman from
New York, declared: Alaska with the
Aleutian islands is an Unacceptable,
wretched and God-forsaken region,
worth nothing, but positive injury
and incumbrance as a colony in the
United States
Benjamin f. Loan, of Missouri, said
The acquisition Of this inhospitable
waste would never add one dollar TO the
wealth of our country"
The Alaskan salmon catch OF 1900
alone was worth s7,200,Oo0, the price
paid for the territory. In five years the
Alaskan mines have sent to Seattle
alone $4,000, oos in gold dust and bull
ion. nearly twice the purchase price of
the territory.
In 1862 the total output of gold in
Alaska was sls.s7o,o75. and in 1901 1t
was $l4,875,s75, or for two years $685.
SAC. 000-more than four times the
amount paid to Russia In 1867.
Previous to 1897 we had taken s15,-
100000 in gold from Alaska-also more
than twice the purchase price From.
