tll9 Dottle, dllu NlSled ne Knew what he did with 1t.
 Meantime strange things had been going on. When he caught hold of the first bee Mr. Middle rib for reasons, drew 1t out in such haste that for time he forgot all about the bottle and it's medical contents, and left 1t lying uneorked Ill the middle of the bed between him and his in- nocent wife. In the dark there had been quiet but general mig ration from the bottle. The bees were crawling aimlessly about over the sheet. While Mr. Mid dlerib was feeling around for 1t his ears were suddenly thrilled and his heart frozen by a wild piercing scream from his wife.
 "Murder..'' she screamed. Murder. Oh! Help me, Help, Help"
 MT. Middlerib Sd upright in bed. His hair stood on end The night was warm but he turned to ice in minute.
 Where in thunder he said with pallid lips, as he felt all over the bed i'll frenzied haste; where are them bees.
 And large humble, with sting as pitiless as the finger of scorn, just then climbed up the middle of Mir. Middlerib's night shirt, until 1t got squarely be- tween his shoulder and then 1t felt his marrow.
 And Mrs. Middlerib felt ashamed of her feeble screams when MT. Middlerib threw up both arms and with howl that made the windows rattle roared:
 Take him off. Oh, land of Scott somebody take him off.
 And when little honey bee
  began tickling the sole of Mrs. Middlerib's foot she shrleked and went into spasms.
 The household was aroused by thi S time. Miss Middlerlb and Master Middlerib and the ser wants were pouring into the room adding to the general confusion by bowling at random and ask ing irrelevant questions, while they gazed at a man little on Ill years. arrayed in d long night shirt clawing at the unattainable spot in the middle of his back, while he danced an unnatural, weird wicked loohlhS iig by the religious light of the night lamp. And while he danced and howled, and while they gazed and shouted, navy-blue wasp, that Master Mid dlerib had put in the bottle for good measure and variety and to keep the menagerie stirr ed up, fired himself across the room, and to his dying day Mr. Middlerib will always believe that one of the servants mistook him for burglar and shot him.
 No one, not even MT. Middler1b himself could doubt that he was for a time, most thoroughly erred of rheumatism.

morning in regard to this portion
of the Brownsville country. Mr..
Tracy spent yesterday at the Buena
Vista truck farm and is very en-
thusiastic over conditions he found
there. P. E. Blalack has made
more extensive experiments with
fruits than perhaps any other man
i'll the Brownsville country, and
Mr.. Tracy spent the entire day in
looking over this model farm. He
came back in the afternoon, chock
full of enthusiasm, which found
vent in most lattering terms. Mr..
Tracy says this country IS the
finest proposition he has ever seen.
