this Is a fact.

mails OF all sorts. Among other queer pets he
had some bees. For one Of them in partic-
ular he Professed a peculiar fondneSs, and this
particular bee never seemed more at home
than when in its masters rOOnl where IL used
TO crawl around the bureau and often on his
face and hands. The strange thing about i
was that it never Stung HIM. He could Sho.
it away with irnpunity tumble 1t around and
tease it with piece OF folded paper bat the
bee was invariably good natured.

closet through which ran a chimney. One
morning about two o'clock when he was
soundly sleeping the chimney became over
heated and started coutiagration among the
clothes which We're hung around IT The bee
flew 20 the bed and sunk It's black sting deep
