The Drunkard Bee.

Il have been hearing of the busy
bee until am tired of it" says Drake
Watson. "A bee works during the
summer and then rests all winter,
like a plasterer. And a bee has bad
habits. Go into vineyard and you
will find bee drunkards around burst
ed grapes. The drunkard bees sip
up the Juice unit! they become full
and then fall to the ground and sleep
off their debauch; drunkard bee
knows enough not to go home with a
jag."-Kansas City Journal.

A Slim Market

Only two or three country wagons
we're at the market this morning, and
they were not burdened with many
products of the farm. Only a few
dressed chickens and two or three
turkeys were visible and these brought
prices above the average buyer. The
chickens sold for 81. 30 to $1.50 pair
and the turkeys for % cents per pound.
The number of market wagons in at.
tendance for December was lO6, and
only 6 so far this month. This is a
considerable falling off, says the mar
ket matser. comparatively to other
months. The butchers had an abund-
ance of meats at the usual prices.
Vegetables are scarce and high, eggs
ditto. The bad weather of the past
week has completely knocked out the
country people.
