REASONABLE ASPIRATIONS. !"
The FilipinOs Should Attain Them
Says VIM. j. Bryan.

Manila. 2. l. December 20. "A
hundred and fifty Filipinos and a
few Americans gave a banquet to
night in honor of Hon. w. j.
Bryan. The menus bore the flag
Of the Catipnan revolutionary So
ciety. Vice Gov. Ide welcomed
Bryan as the representative of g.
900, 900 Americans. Two radicals
made speeches, in which they
lengthily dwelt upon the independ
ence of the PHILIPPINES. They
welcomed Bryan as the savior of
the islands, and prayed for his elec-
tion to the presidency of the Unit
ed States, Judge Yusay counsel
ed the natives to exercise patience
and to devote themselves to agri-
culture rather than to politics.
Mr.. Bryan generalized for an
hour. He announced his deter
mination to avoid politics while
here. He said:
My visit will furnish me with
a vast amount of information
which will be useful when Ireturn
to the United States. The devel-
opment of nations is invariably
slow. The Filipinos likewise must
learn to abide by the direction OF
the government, and must remem.
ber that despite political differ
ences in the United States, the re
suit of an election there is univers-
ally respected. I, however, urge
the Filipinos to earnestly strive tC
attain their reasonable aspira.

PRESIDENT ROUSE.
Writes The St. Louis Rural World
an Encouraging Letter About
Beekeeping.

Editor Rural World: The last
meeting of the Missouri State Bee.
keepers Association, held at Seda.
liza, August 22nd and 23rd, was
one Of the best that the writer
ever attended. There were pres
ent people from many distant
parts of the state, and all were
enthusiastic, successful beekeepers.
Hon. Geo. B. Ellis, secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture.
was present and gave a splendid
talk.
The state board, thru its secre-
tary, has been Of great service TO
the bee interests of the state in
publishing and distributing a bee
bulletin which give statistics of
beekeepers and beekeeping in
Missouri. 1t says that in 1900
there were 11,245 beekeepers in
the state, owning 205, 110 colonies
or swarms of bees that gathered
6, 1853, 800 pounds of honey worth
$769, 160. This added to estimat-
ed worth of the bees. $500, 1855,
makes 81, ,46O ,O15 for the bees of
this state and their products; moth
ing said about beeswax, which
would have added several thousand
to the figures.
We really believe that the fore
going figures give only the small
est part of the profit in beekeeping
rs the bees are most helpful in the
growing of fruit, causing fertiliza-
ton of the bloom. We are in
formed that the fruit business
amounts to $40, ,OOO, 600 a year in
Missouri. In the foregoing statis-
ties of the bees the swarms were
estimated at about $50 each.
Practical beekeepers know that a
good colony is worth $4 to So
each. Thirty pounds of honey
was the estimate per colony, while
beekeepers often get 100 to $50
pounds of honey was the estimate
per colony, and in some instances
considerably more than that. This
would show that beekeeping with
gnod management and improved
fixtures can be made a profitable
business, while with poor manage
ment, log gums or common boxes
the bees do little or often nothing,
The crop of honey and wax oh
tained is clear again, as it is not
produced at the expense of any
thing else, and would be lost but
for the bees which much more
than pay expenses for their keep
ing

We had made a previous visit
there 81 years ago, my sister not
having been there since that time,
while this was my fourth visit, and
/ was not so much surprised as she
was. But how much the face of

night; left for Slater the next day
to visit the Gunnell family whom
/ had known in Illinois since my
earliest recollections, and grew
young again living over the past.

who certainly deserve great respect
from all who know them. Back to

was born and raised on the farm
where she now lives.
We took a ride and made a
