Collecting bee stings to be used !n
the treatment OF rheumatism is a new
industry that has just sprung up. A
company of chemists in Philadelphia
will put the bee-sting serum on the
market and has given Texas FARMER
an order for $4,000 stings. Some time
ago a man suffering with rheumatism
was set upon by bees and badly stung.
His face and neck were swollen for
several days. When the swelling sub
sided his rheumatism was gone. From
this incident study of bee stings was
taken up and experiments with them
were made. The experiments. II is
said, have been perfectly successful.

A Queer Question.

Prof. Leopold Barisen is in charge
of the great X-ray machine in
the Educational Building at the St.
Louis Fair, and, naturally, in this po-
sition, he is called upon to answer in
Vulnerable strange questions. says the
New York Tribune.
Prof Barisen recounted the other
afternoon the odd queries about X-rays
that some boys had put to him in the
morning.
"I was rather in the position" he
said, "of Harvard instructor who was
lecturing on oxygen.
Oxygen, the instructor said is
essential to all animal existence; there
could he no life without it.; and yet,
strange to say, it was discovered only
a century ago.
What did they do, Them a student
asked, before dt was discovered, sir?' -
The LovabIe Lass of the Grouchy
Old Man.
From the New York Times.
A grouchy and crotchety. fussy old
man,
Whose stick on the walk beats rat
a-tat-tat,
The cut of his coat on an fashioned
plan,
A shiny, red nose and a worn beaver
hat,
A blare of defiance. he trumpets his
nose,
He clears his hoarse throat with a
he-he- he-hem!
But the girl on his arm, she's fair as
a rose,
How grew such a flower on such a
gnarled stemP
He bushes his eyebrows and scowIs
upon me.
His stick with click beats the walk
as we pass.
His scowl wastes the bloom of a smile
that 1 see
And freezes it stiff on the lips of
the lass.
He raises his hat with Chesterfield
air,
The sweep of his arm is chill cour-
tesy's sign,
But his eyes pass me by with an un-
seeing stare.
II blood were the spilling, he'd dab
bic in mine.
There's pride in the white crest. up
lifted so high,
Defiant the tilt of the old beaver hat,
Contempt in the stare of the unknow-
! ing eye,
And the click of his stick with its
rat-a-tat-tat,
He spurns me, he scorns me, he hates
me--he knows
I'm nursing in secret some pilferlng
plan
To pluck from its parental arbor the
rose
That rests on the arm of this fussy
old man.
So he passes me by with an unsee-
ing stare.
His cane beats defiantly rat-a-tat-
tat:
He trumpets his nose with a furious
blare.
There's pride in the tilt of his worn
beaver hat
Love may laugh at locksmiths. nor
hazard cave
In bridging most CULTS OF despair
with span,
But Love needs more courage than
mine has ! swear,
To laugh at this cTotehety. fussy old

THE FOOLISH PRACTICAL JOKER.

The practical joker is one of natures
fools for whom there is probably lit
tie hope in this world. 1t does no
appreciate good to argue with him.
He goes right ahead with his folly,
feeding people with pepper-filled cara
mels, tying cords across dark paths,
soaping the steps, playing ghost, and
resorting to innumerable devices to
frighten the timid. From time to time
there are reports of tragedies result
ing from practical jokes, the jokers
themselves frequently being the VIC
Tins. Still the horrible examples"
are apparently without result. The
crop of fools is always full, and prac-
teal jokers will probably continue to
make themselves a nuisance and a
menace until the end of time.
Still, in the hope of turning even
one fool from his folly it is well enough
from time to time to call attention
to how dangerous some practical jokes
are to their perpetrators. In River
side, N. j., there lives an insurance
man of the name of Reineck. To
reach his home from his office at
night he has to pass through q dark
piece of woods. Recently there have
been a number of hold-ups in the
neighborhood of Riverside, in addition
to which there are a number of vicious
dogs at large in the place. 1t has
been Mr.. Reinecks custom recently
when returning home late at night, to
carry an open penknife in his coat
pocket with which to defend himself
against highwaymen and dogs.
Mr.. Reineck had son just grow
ing into young manhood. of whom he
was very fond. Unfortunately this
son was a practical joker, often max
ing his father the victim of his per-
verified sense of humor. Knowing
that his father was more or less ner-
vous because of the recent hold-ups,
this son resolved to brighten him as
he passed through the dark piece of
woods. Concealing himself behind a
tree the other night, he sprang out
upon his father as he passed and
caught him by the throat Nov
I've got you!" he growled in his most
sepulcheral and awe-inspiring tones.
Instantly the older gentleman's pen
knife flashed out of his pocket and
was driven into the heart of his as
sailant. The boy gasped and cried,
ooh, father, it is L, Frank" and drop
ped to the ground, dead. The father,
naturally, was Frustrated with grief.
But the son had merely fallen a victim
to his own folly.
1t is a pitiful story; but IL carries
a valuable lesson. viii any of the
practical jokers learn it?

THE PLArFonM PREPARED.

The Committee on Resolutions of the
Republican National Convention will
of course, go through the form of
passing upon the resolutions which will
be submitted to it. and may
make show of adjusting differences
of opinion as to what should appear
jim the platform. but the general inn
preston Is that the platform was writ
ten at the White House days ago,
and that it was carried to Chicago by
Senator Lodge.
Mr.. Roosevelt having brought about
his own nomination. it isn't at all like
ly that he would trust the politicians
OF his party to make a platform. He
has too much confidence in himself
for anything OF that kind.
1t will be recalled that in 1900 Mr..
Bryan dictated the platform OF the
Democratic party. He insisted upon
a platform that was against the judg-
ment of a majority of the leaders of
his party. He was able to have his
way in the matter because the party
felt it couldn't do otherwise than nomi-
nate him. He said to the convention
therefore that it would have to let
him make the platform or he wouldn't
accept the nomination. And the con-
vention yielded.
Mr.. Roosevelt won't say that he will
not accept the nomination if the con-
vention doesn't adopt the platform
which he has prepared, but he knows
very well that there will be no objec-
ton to it. Having secured the nomi-
nation without consulting the politi-
clans about it, the politicians will not
undertake to raise a question with
him respecting platform declarations.
They will let him assume the re-
sponsibility for the platform just as
they will let him take the responsibility
for the management of the campaign.
