ground. once 10 kissed her. THAI
night after he went home he swore> Il
himself he would marry her. You ss<
he didn't know then that 10 was fool.
The Symphonic came on later. Onl
time his father sent him to the city
and he went to q show and the glare OF
the footlights dazzled him so that he
conceived the idiotic notion that an &C.
tor was the greatest man in tho worAd
and that an actors life was one Ions
dream of bliss. He went back home
and began to read about actors and
plays. Then some other idiot In the
neighborhood got the amateur theatre
cal craze and tho fool took part, and q
lot of well-meaning, but addle-headed
people told him that he did well ana
was cut out for an actor. ,:g@, a.
"Well, the fool got stage-struck and
decided that the farm and fresh air and
the good living and the good old father
and mother and all the honest friends
he had were not good enough for him
and that he must go to the city and
carve out a career. His mother was
heartbroken and his father righteously
angry at his decision. But OF course
the fool knew better than they. All
fools know better than their mothers
and fathers-especially cub-fools. So he
went bravely away to the city, and by
the sheer force of the physical vitality
the country air and good living and de-
cent hours had given him. he wormed
himself into the perfesh and for ten
years has been living in tll-smellins
hotels and stuhy back rooms and eat
ing everything from free lunch weiner-
wurst to the sort of rot this dago con-
cocts in his rotten kitchen. b, -.
"The fools father was a strong man
and just, and when he died few years
ago he left his property to the fooPs
brother, who was, a wise man and
stayed with q good thing, and knew
enough to come in when 1t rained.
This proves that the FOOLS father knew
his business. So now the fool is elect
ed to exc out his miserable existence
in company with other fools of both
sexes in stufy lodgings and on liver
wurst and beer and other abomina-
tons, while his brother peacefully
smokes his pipe in comfort and. happi-
ness and watches his boys and girls
grow to manhood and womanhood In
the green fields which will be their
heritage they inherit their un-
Gle and become fools"
"And the girl" suggested the poet.
20, yes; the girl" replied Benton
THAT is the most pitiful of all. You
see the girl really loved the fool and
her love blinded her to his folly and
she thought it was all right for him to
go to the city and demonstrate the
depths of his idiocy. And the fool
loved the girl, too, in fool way and
when he left he took her in his arms and
kissed her and swore eternal fidelity
and promised her a future part in his
future triumphs A few letters passed
and then the fool graduated from the
supe class into a speaking part, met
up against this sort of bunch and the
paint and the rouge and the pads and
the abandon and the wit and all the
rest Of it, as sxemplified in our charm

time. When he came out Of his trance
the shoe was on the. other foot and he
realized that he was not worthy to tie
her shoe and that his life was not 1T

is alone and will continue to paint his

BEGINNERS IN BEEkEEPfNG.
Many Make Mistake Of Putting Sur
plus Receptacles on the Hivs
Before They Are Needed

The beginner with bees is SPIT to
make the mistake Of putting surplus
honey receptacles ON the hive before
they are needed. All the heat is need
ed in the brood department early in
the season, and the bees will not work
in supers until the harvest opens and
they are cramped for room. =. nd
Bees are peculiar in some respects;
they will not go to work readily in the
supers II they are given. too much
empty space to begin with. Better put
Dnly one super on each hive to start
with. The sections should be fur
nished with starters. To induce the
bees to go right to work, put in 1t
least one partly-filled section in each
super from some other colony already
at work, or from store held over from
last season. The comb alone is all
right for this purpose, but If it is full
of honey It is so much the better.
Broad comb may be cut up and fitted IN
sections as bait comb, II there are no
partly finished sections on hand. p
few Of such sections should always be
saved over, and taken care of. They
are valuable at this season. ssg
If the bees still refuse to work in
the supers. there may be little honey in
the fields, or the flowers from which
a yield is expected may not secrete
honey. Bad weather often prevents
the bees from working. They will do
little good gathering honey unless
there is large force Of bees at the
right age for business when the har-
vest opens. A strong colony may al
ways be depended upon to fill the sec
lions even in poor season.-FannieM II.

rem MULFORD
FOR MANAGER
Baseball Writer to Pilot the
Senators.
w. ]. LAMBERT STILL AWAY
Has Not Yet Returned From Mission to
Chicago to Close Deal fo:
Clubs Sale.
W. ]. LAMBERT STILL AWAY

The statement printed exclusively In
Inc Times that John r. Mclean and
the Hon. William Wadsworth, ef New
York. will buy the Washington team, Is
borne out by the fact that a Western
piper. although it does not stats by
whom the Senators will be owned next
season. says Rem Mulford has been
slated to manage the team.
Ren Mulford, one of the best-knowu
and most reliable baseball writer's OF
the country, is sporting editor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer" Mr.. McLean's
paper. This seems to indicate that Mr..
Mclean has a well defined intention Il
buying the club.
Lambert Still Away.
Wilton J. Lambert, attorney of the
local club. who went to Chicago to secure
the signature of the high mogul OF the
American League TO the contract which
was approved by Messrs. Mclean and
Wadsworth, has not yet returned to this
city. but It is probable he has been IN
communication with the prospective
owners, hence the step taken in the ap-
pointment of Rem Mulford as manager.
Mr.. Mclean and Mr.. Wadsworth are
both deslrous of avoiding publicity in
the matter as yet and will give out no
information.
Ren. or Deacon Mulford is one OF
the best-known baseball writer's in the
country He has been grinding out in
teresting stories about the doings OF
the knights of the diamond for about
twenty years. and is thoroughly con-
versant with every side of the game.
Mr. Mulford has been employed on sew
eral Cincinnati newspapers. and for the
past three years has had charge of the
baseball department of the Cincinnati
Enquirer" The owner OF this news
paper. John r. Mclean. during the past
week practically became one Of the pur-
chasers of the Washington American
League Club. Should Mr.. Mulford be-
come manager of the Senators no one
could wish him greater success In han
ding a team than he has had in writ
ing about the Reds for 80 many years.
Mulford Is No. 4.
Mr. Mulford. in case he takes the po-
sition. will be the fourth newspaper
man of Cincinnati to leave his editorial
duties to become connected with a base
ball club. Years ago o. p. Cayior gave
up position on a newspaper there TO
manage the Indianapolis club.
Next came the only Ban Johnson. The
[. latter was sporting editor Of the Gin
cinnat Commercial Tribune" before be-
coming president of the Western League.
which afterward expanded and changed
its name 10 the American League. About
a month ago j. Ed Grillo who succeed
cd Mr.. Johnson on the Commercial
Tribune was elected president OF the
American Association. Now comes Ren
Muiford.
At this rate all aspiring magnates
and managers in the future will first be
compelled to be baseball editor in
Cincinnati.
