GOVERNMENT BEES.
Busy Insects Belonging to the Agri- cultural Department swarm
 to Market.

Doubtless the only members of the governments gigantic force of em- ployes who goto work before nine o'clock a. m. and continue toiling until sum- down are the Italian bees kept by the de- partment of agriculture These, the smallest of our domestic animals, are kept by the department for experimental purposes and for stocking it's various substations, says the Washington Post. Some time ago these government bees discovered that Center maket was a far better pasture than the flower beds and vegetable gardens of the depart ment, and there they resort every day, to no small discomfort and annoyance of commission dealers, hucksters, gard ners and restaurant proprietors, whose stock in trade the industrious little in sects prey upon.
 Tn some cities the rats and mice are troublesome, and in others crickets, grain insects, and various other bugs prey upon the perishables, but Center market is the only market in the United States where the most serious pest is the insects which belong to the government. They eat holes in the peaches, poach on the grapes, gather honey from cante- loupes, and are the first to find the soft spots in pineapples and bananas. What is more, there are about Center market a number of open-air eating booths, to which the bees resort in large numbers to collect hOney from various sweet dishes, particularly apricot apples, peach prune and huckleberry pie. The funny part of it all is that the commis- sion dealers, fruit handlers and res taurant keepers are afraid to offer any opposition to their intrusion for fear the plucky little insects will resent 1t.
 Hardly a week passes that some one does not get stung by the government bees, who object to rough handling and treatment With the juice and wax which they collect from apples, melons, peaches, oranges, pineapples, grapes, bananas and pies in the market, they lay up their store of winter honey. The only time the restaurant keepers are able to even up with these little pests is when they have batch of hot pies or bread pudding on hand They it hap pens occasionally that some over-hasty government bee gets his feet scorched. In such cases they hover about the pies until they have cooled off, now and then alighting on the crust to test the tenn perature of the tempting bait.

Thos. Ross has returned from an ex-

TO the parched plains Of southern ART
zona, to the then drouth stricken
southern New Mexico and to the great
mesas stretching eastward from Las
Vegas beyond Tucumcari. He brings
a good tale for the people Of Las
Vegas. He Is, In fact. more enthus-
iastic about this city and her ad-
vantages, resources and charms than
he ever was before in his life.
Il have just been taking walk
about the city, said Mr.. Ross last
night. Il tell you the lawns and
trees and shrunbery and beautiful
homes Of Las Vegas look good to one
who has been spending weeks in less
favored parts Of the west. And the
climate here Is as far ahead Of any OF
the rest Of the territory as day is
ahead Of night. We don't realize what
We have here. It's the best residence
town In the west and we don't half ap-
preciate the fact. It's time We all
