RUNNING BIRD CHASED BEE.
Movements of Couple Resembled
Flashes Of Lightning.

Here is a story as told by gentle
man who spends the greater portion
of his time studying the habits OF
birds:
A humming bird with an angry dash
expressed it's disapproval of the pres
ence of a big bumblebee in the same
tree. The usually pugnacious bee in
continently fed, but he did not leave
the tree. He darted back and forth
among the branches and white bios
SONS, the humming bird in close pur-
suit. Where will you find another pair
that could dodge and dart equal to
these? They were like flashes Of
light, yet the pursuer followed the
track Of the pursued, turning when
the bee turned.
In short, the bird and the bee con-
trolled the movements of their bodies
more quickly and more accurately
than he could control the movements
Of his eyes. The chase was all over
In half the time it takes to tell 1t,
but the excitement of pack of hounds
after a fox was no greater. The bee
escaped, the bird giving up the chase
and alighting on a twig. 1t couldn't
have been chasing the bee for food,
and there is no possible explanation
Of its unproyoked attack, except that
1t wanted all the honey itself.

Williams Pink Pills.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease Of the blood.
1t is necessary, therefore, to treat it
through the blood if permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is in the blood
the pain will return, perhaps in a new
place, but it will surely return. DIR. Viii
liams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat Of the
disorder, purifying aud enriching the
