Bees Too Smart for Him.

One of our neighbors has for a number
Of years past derived a very satisfactory
revenue from the industry OF his bees.
His farm is village lot 50x20O feet. in
q sheltered corner Of which he keeps Il
few colonies of bees. With the numer-
Gus families he has always lived in the
most perfect harmony of purpose, and
each individual seems to know and re-
spect him, however warlike they may
appear to strange faces When all the
boxes were filed this season they were
replaced by others, as is the usual Gus
tom. This operation did not commend
itself to the bees, as it taxed their pro-
verbal industry TO too great an extent
III season Of few flowers, like the past.
Seemingly, council was held and the
question OF winters supply Of food
duly considered and soon carried into ef-
feet. Some wise bee found small hole
in the attic, where 100 or more pounds
of honey were stored. At once an the
forces Of the colonies were summoned.
and with determination that knows no
failure they transferred every particle Of
honey from the garrett to the new boxes
on the hives. 4 few days ago, when
our bee farmes went to the garnet for a
supply to ill an order, he found he had
been robbed. No, 1t was not robbery

from them. Ii was theirs.-New Eng

ON THEIR WAY
TO THE COAST
Jacob Schiff and Party of
London FinancierS Leave
New York for California
ON A PLEASURE TRIP
Stated That the Journey
Is Not Made in COnnec-
ton With Any Enterprise

Word has been received here that ia
cob H. Schiff and a party OF distin-
guished London financiers left New
York on Wednesday for a tour of the
Far West. 1t is stated that the trip is
solely for pleasure and is not assocIat-
ed with any contemplated financial en-
terprise. The party is in special cars,
but these cars will most Of the time be
coupled UP into a special train. The
party left over the Pennsylvania road
for ST. Louis. and after viewing the
Worlds Fair the party will go TO Chi
cago and thence come to the Pacinc
Coast.
1t is not known just when the party
will reach San Francisco. for when
Schiff left New York he had not decid-
ed how long they would remain in St
Louis and Chicago. or whether he
would stop off at intermediate points
on the way to San Francisco. 1t IS
probable. however. that stops will be
made at Denver and Salt Lake City.
In the party besides Schin are Sir
Ernest CasseH. member of the Privy
Council of King Edward VII, Robert
Fleming Max B. Bonn of Stern Bros
& Co. and Valentine Fleming, all of
London, and General James H. Wilson
