AS a result of an investigation by
the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics,
among 654 business houses. 1T is ascer-
tanned that the attributed causes for
the increased cost of living are be-
lieved to be, first, higher wages, due to
the monopoly of labor unions, higher
prices due to trust monopoly, and ex-
cess of demand over supply.

FAILURE FOLLOWS ARROGANCE

Rehoboam. who succeeded Solomon
In the kingdom of Israel, was a weak.
vain and impulsive monarch. His
father had put heavy burdens upon
the people. Foreign alliances, the ex-
travagant luxury of court life, heavy
taxes and forced labor had forced a
CALLING yoke upon the people that at
last became unbearable and intolera-
BILE.
Thus by this heritage of evils be-
uueathed by Solomon to his son Keno
boam was confronted at the very be-
ginning of his reign with problems Of
the gravest character. His people de-
handed that wrongs be righted and
that oppressive burdens be made light
err. Had Rehoboam read the signs of
the times he could readily have seen
that he was dealing with q dangerous
discomfort. Had this king abated the
burdens of his people and promised
that he would study their peace and
welfare above all he could have Crap
pied to himself the affections OF his
people as with hooks of steel.
But, following the advice of his boon
companions, who were worthless and
aristocratic idlers, this empty headed
and foolish prince refused to reduce the
burdens or tighten the heavy yoke of
his subjects. He was dealing with q
high-spiritod people, whose bitter pas
sions were aroused and eXasperated by
his answer to their petition for a re
dress of their wrongs. They answered
their king with a shout of rebellion
They started war cry that brought
every man to action, the outcome OF
which was a shattered empire hun
dreds of years of strife and folly and
a hopelessly divided kingdom.
Gigantic military systems canno

which now goes to waste, be gathered by the
imported insects it is much clear gain. The
subject IS one in which all beekeepers, whose in
dustry IS one of great Importance in this country
have good reason to be keenly interested.
The apiary the Arlington Farm will be a
breeding station for various races of bees. Queen
bees of Caucasian Cyprian, Dalmatian, Italian and
Carnloan races will be specially imported for propa-
eating purposes, with view to the improvement of
varieties. Within the last few years science has
taken up the business of improving the honey bee,
particularly in respect to its capacity for honey
gathering, though also in relation to gentleness of

and bees of various stocks have been brought
from abroad and crossed with those on this
side of the water.
1t is curious fact, not widely realized perhaps,
that there were no bees in America until the
seventeenth century when they were brought from

common black variety, now found all over the

childhood, all that this little woman had hope3

preston.
He looked from the magnolia complexion to the
Short clustering red CurS and the fervent grav ee
as he might have looked from one flower to another
with all plain mans impersonal love and appre-
citation of abstract beauty; he knew that a tine
nature lay back of the beautiful child-face before
him, fine enough to withstand the temptations Of
1ittleness and vanity. He felt rather that present
appreciation and sympathy would mean enlargcd
opportunity for growth.
Listen to me- Emily he said quietly turning
the eager face up between his hands to meet his
own clear gaze. | know you're honest little girl
and know that you like me- because YOU told me
when you i'll with the fever. Now believe
that like you too well TO deceive yOu and that IN

during the past few months, and you are going to
grow still more lovely with every year. as long as
you are good and sweet and try to do your duty
tell you this because it's true, dear, and because
hope it will help you TO be good"

and who really 1onged for the society of her kind.
She went to bed early the night before the great
day, but almost too happy for sleeping.
Long she lay awake anticipating the morrow, and
rejoicing the silvery moonbeams sitting in through
the lace-curtained window. She dreamed at last
of receiving some beautiful wonderful present and
awoke to feel that something unloOked-for as
lovely was to be hers that day.
Breakfast in bed-nOt necessary now, a rule,
but advised by mother for this morning because
of the long, happy day to follow-seemed unusually
tempting The dreamy half-hour that succeeded
it passed swiftly. At ten o'clock she dressed
and waiting Eleven, and most of the children had
made appearance. At twelve there was luncheon,
with the cake and favors, and then, ah theni
the birthday pudding, " that represented the
crowning delightful surprise
Out of the big, brown dish carried on in triumph
by old Nurse Martha presently was drawn not only
pretty present for every child asked to the party,
but also remembrance from every child present for
the happy hostess.
Emily almost speechless with happiness.
She was so overcome with delight indeed that
the doctor who with Uncle Jim, Aunt Helen and
few other child-1oving grOwn-ups had been invited
to take luncheon with Mr.. and Mrs. Wheaton,
Immediately prescribed a quiet half-hour in the
west porch hammock.
And there they found her at the end of her repose
looking up at the blue sky with eyes calm and
placid and Joyous twin lakes pools in a deep
forest, and with a tender smile about her mouth.
She was so still that they all thought her sleeping,

her face being turned that the wide eyes not
who also had been invited to the party, and who
had known and loved Emily from her earliest days
of pink and crumpled infancy, beckoned the others
to step softly AMI look again.
How lovely the child is growing these daysi'
These were the wondrous words that brought the
gray eyes down from the sky and the dreaming
thoughts back to earth in a hurry. She's really
a beautiful girl now, and she'll be still more beauti-
full woman Who would have thought it of so plain
a little girl1"
Il always knew it, since long before l
ried," Aunt Helen was beginning; but Emily clearly
proved in that moment at her freedom from
all trace of the most innocent duplicity and
the fact that she still retained her child-nature.
"Oh, Aunt Helen!" she exclaimed, leaping to her
feet in almost reverent, awed wonder. Do you
really that | a beautiful girl?
The others were startled, not realizing did
Aunt Helen all that had led up to and inspired this
glow and thrill of excitement but it plain that
vanity had caused the delight and joy
'Yes, dear" answered Aunt Helen gravely, be-
fore anyone else could speak Il really do it.
A great responsibility will be yours in the future,
Emily. Beautiful always should try to be
unusually good"
For moment the gray eyes went up to the sky
again, while the soft cheeks flushed a wonderful
crimson Then suddenly the face paled and the
glad light faded. But you only think So perhaps,
because-because we love each other, Aunt Helen?"

exceedingly docie and prolific.
One gets a notion of the Importance Of the
Bookkeeping industry from the fact that during
the last year four contiguous Counties IN one
State turned out no less than four million pounds
of honey. The raising of queens in itself has
become large business, and one Texas woman
sells more than two thousand OF them IN
year. For raising queen bees miniature hives
are emplOyed-httle wooden boxes, IN each OF
which is put a handful of worker bees. bit of
hOneycOmb, and a single queen cell containing
a queen not vet emerged lnaSmuch as an
ordinary hive will produce from a dozen to
three hundred queen-bearing cells each season,
it IS a simple task to detach them from the
brood comb and them IN the manner des-
Cribed The queens sell for from TWO 10 hve
dollars apiece.
Queen bees propagated in the manner described
are sent by mail all over the wOrd-even as lar as
from this country to Australia. In the same way
workers and drOnes are shipped as samples The
package used for the purpose consists of a little
wooden box about four inches long. which Is

insect, and another for piece of candy, which,
placed within reach of the bee, SuffCes for food
Formerly bees were not permitted to enter tins
country from abroad free of duty, but they are
permitted to come in as animals imported for

In Central and South America there are stingless
bees, which cousins of the true honey bees
being grouped zoologcally between the latter and
the bumblebeeS. They make excellent honey
which, though less sweet than that to which We are
accustomed, has aromatic perfume and delicious
flavor of its Since prehistoric times they have
been dOmesticated and kept in earthen jars and
followed logs of wood and such hives the present
day are commonly hung from verandas IN the
tropics The honey Is not stored in hexagonal cells
but IN wax bags large pigeons eggs, hung
around the inside of the receptacle.
On account of their lack of stings, it has been
deemed desirable to introduce these bees into the

purposes, among them
colonies of the so-called giant bees"
of India, which specially and for the first time will
be imported into this country.
These giant bees, species of which is found in
the Philippines, are much larger than the little
honey-gatherers to which we are accustomed
They plentiful in India, and though they
have been dOmeStiCated enormous quantities of
their combs are collected, chiefly for wax, which is
article of considerable export from that country
One may see tons of 1t stored in warehouses at
Calcutta and other seapOrts.
These are forest bees, dwelling in the wild woods
They do not live in hives, but suspend their huge
combs from limbs of lofty trees The natives are
exceedingly afraid of them telling incredible tales
of their feroCity, and narrating instances
where swarms of the insects have attacked villages
and killed many people. Nevertheless, for the sake
of gan professional bee-hunters are engaged regu-
1arly the occupation of robbing the honeymak
of their stored sweets
The bee-hunter in India no clothing except
a breechcloth, and lacking bee-veil other pro-
lection, he uses stratagem Having located a comb
he climbs the tree-Or perhaps it a lofty ledge of
rock from which the comb hangs-and holds long
stick with bunch of ignited leaves on the end of
1t in such way that the smoke will drive out the
bees. The latter rise in a cloud into the air above
the comb, while the robber cuts it away and lowers
1t to the ground gently with the help of a rope
Notwithstanding the supposed ferOcity of these
giant bees, there is doubt that they can be
handled easily and safely by persons who under
stand the business. How far they may be sus-
ceptlble of domesticaton remains to be ascertaned
but in any event, if introduced in our seni-tropca
forests, they would furnish considerable crops of
the finest and most valuable wax The drones. or
males strange to say, are no larger than ordinary
bees and it is likely that they would mate with the
females of species already acclimated here, pro-
duclng new and useful varieties
One important reason why it is desired to intro
duce these bees from India is that they have much
longer tongues than bees and so could get
honey from many kinds of flowers which, like red
clover, have corolla tubes so deep that most of

According to the story toldin the
Glenn's Ferry Signal, Glenn's Fer
ry and in fact, every town in FL
more county, has troubles Of its
own.
At the meeting Of the board OF
County Commissioners, OF tha t
county, as Board OF Equalization,
a renonsrance was handed them
by the people demonstrating
against the raise in valuation Of
the property, but no attention was
paid to it.
In response to a cali for mass
meeting last Saturday evening in
GIenn's Ferry about forty citizens
were present and the following res
olutions were adopted without de-
clining vote:
"The unjust acts OF the Board Of
County Commissioners OF Elmore
county as Board OF Equaliztion,
We citizens and taxpayers OF Ell
more county, in Mass Meeting as
sembled, believe it is for the best
interest OF the county, that they be
removed from office and we request
C f. Corker to bring such action
as he deems best for the removal.
and we pledge him our moral sup
port in any such action he may
bring"
1t is said that the Bosrd apprais-
eds omeof the property a great deal
higher than was paid for il last

1t was freely expressed at the
meeting, that, should the Board be
success -ful in reta ming their offices,
It would bring them to realiza-
