Last week while blowing up the
road near Tom Mattingly's gate,
Road Supervisor T. Edgar Russell
turned up large and populous Vel
low Jackets Nest. and knowing we
we're interested in all kinds of curl
Osities sent IL TO the BEACON Office.
Though the weather is cold just now
and yellow jackets are comparative
~ quiet yet We have thought best TO
file this nest on the outside Of our
sanctum, where our friends are at
liberty 20 give it thorough exami-
nation.
1t has been some years since we
have had any special business with
yellow jackets, but If our memory
serves US right, and we think it
does, they are what the boys call
warm babies" The yellow jacket
is a sort OF insect Hon. Charles J.
BOnaparte, and his motto is clear
the track and give me room" They
live in congregations numbering
about 100, and we should Judge that
they are all Republicans for they
carry around with them a big hot
stick with which they Immediately
settle all differences of opinion by
jobbing it into anyone who may hap
pen to be in their neighborhood.
Also, they stand pat" and never
argue a point, but settle it at once
with their hot stick aforesaid. Since
we have been old enough TO vote we
have never devoted much time 10
studying the habits of yellow jack
cts, for we do not consider it healthy,
and hence there is great deal about
them that we do not know. They
build their nests in all sorts of places,
and are rarely disturbed, for what
would it profit man to kill 90 yell
low jackets and have the one hun
dreth one ride him a yard. The
yellow jacket is thorough bred in
sect, and his breedinga and refinement
has made him like some other folks
in Maryland and elswhere dissatis-
fed with himself and every body and
everything else and a true blue Re-
former. fla yellow jacket makes a
mistake by ''lynching into" the
wrong man he never makes any ex-
cuses but goes right along to end Of
his furrow
There are many things that might
be learned from q careful study of
yellow jackets, but we do not pro-
pose to investigate them ourselves
at close range. II any friend, how
ever, wishes to preserve the nest
given US and use it next Summer
we will be glad to make him a pre-
sent OF it and will keep it awhile TO
await applications.
