The New Prune Color

No prunes that ever graced board

lovely plummish hue of the French
frocks and imported broadcloths is
something different and wholly delec-

It is this excitement, caused by the
newness Of things, which induces
country boys and girls to push ahead
when they come to the city, and their
stored up energy, due to simple coun-
try living, enables them TO endure the
extra amount Of work the excitement
leads them into.
Della was ambitious and naturally
bright.
She was anxious to succeed and
wanted to learn how to make the most
Of her time and money.
Early one Monday forenoon. before
her employer had read his mail, q
young man came into the office.
Della had nothing to do but read or
watch her machine. She preferred to
read. as she greatly enjoyed good
stories and interesting articles. Yet
she had heard that books contained
second-handed information and that
the best things were seer and heard,
SO she could not help but listen when
the others began talking on a general
subject.
They had finished their business,
and her employer made this remark:
Tom, why do you like diamonds?

Tom took a minute to think and
Della waited with more eagerness for

he said: There are several reasons

where he bought them, but she did
not dare to, and Tom went on to say:

DO YOU KEEP BEES /?

If you do, write w. L. Womble,
Raleigh, N. c., for his booklet re-
garding his improved box, The
Honey Maker. It's the best box
on the market for the production OF
fine section, chunk and extracted
honey. Mr.. Womble has made as
high as 200 pounds OF fine section
honey with a single colony OF bees
in his box, which he SOLD at 20 cts.
per section, netting him $40. This
is only a sample of what can be
done with his box under favorable
circumstances. Mr.. Womble is
not only a producer of honey on a
large scale, but breeder OF fine
Italian queens as we'll. With The
Honey.Maker and good stotk OF
Italian bees. you can easily average,
in q good section, from $40 to SIG
per colony. There is plenty OF
money in bees and honey, but you
will have to discard your old box
