Bees in Iowa.

The honey bee in Iowa Is supplied
with the customary sting, and yet III
Iowa. where bees are kept in large
numbers. they are free to roam and
to sting even Gum Shoe Allison or
whoever else they may encounter. In
one township wealthy bee men nave
created dangerous conditions. Three
citizens we're recently stung by bees
belonging to millionaires, and when
they sought legal redress for the in
iuries they had sustained they were
told that the owner of vicious bee is
not responsible for the damages 1t in
flicts.
The legislature of Iowa has there
fore been asked to classify the honey
bee as a domestic animal, when, of
course, its depredations would come
under the legal regulations that are
applied to the horned COW and even the
butting goat. 1t may not De cohslaereu
feasible in Iowa to prohibit the honey
bee from roaming at large, but the
legislature doubtless will hold the
owner of an identified bee responsible
for 1t acts.
Just at present it does not seem to
be possible to find the owner OF an
enraged bee in township well filled
with apiaries. All bees look alike to
most men. and the identification of a
bee that goes about puncturing peo-
pie would become an art. 1t may,
however, prove an art that few can
acquire.

MILLION FARMERS USE PHONES.
independent Companies Have Brought
Country In Touch With City.

From Fighting the Telephone Trust" by
Paul Latzxe, In Success Magazine
When competition began, In 1894, there
was literally not a farm house In the
country that was connected with a tele-
phone exchange; and, perhaps, 1t is no
exaggeration to say that there was not
a farm house that had telephone. The
Bell company declined absolutely to con.
struct or establish farmers exchanges OF
to build farmers lines. The best that
farmer who desired connection with the
nearest town could do was to rent two
instruments at 800 a year and build and
maintain his own line. When farmer
wanted the telephone people to build
line out to his place. he was compelled
to guarantee tolls amounting to at least
$500 year. Naturally under such con-
ditions the farmer was cut off from tele.
phone communication, and that meant
from the world. as he understands Ii to.
day Now farmer can buy a telephone
outright for from s. to SIC. according tc
quality. and he and his neighbors car
build their own line as low as $75 mile,
The report of the Indiana Independent
Telephone association shows that, or
May g. 1905, there were, In that state
alone 10000 farmers connected with this
exchanges In Iowa there are probably
twice as many. In Michigan, Wisconsin
Illinois and others of the western states,
the numbers are in proportion. Approx.
mately there are now one million farmers
In this country who have telephones in.

competition, the Bell people have beer

desire TO shake off one.night stands
and the like is unnatural, but Mr..
Mansfield is not a weakling physically
or mentally, and it is more than
doubtful whether he will gain happi-
ness in Observation-Disclosures it is not
his duty to play as Joe Jefferson did
while strength remains to him. The
American stage needs him. He stands
head and shoulders above all other
actors, and he should consider retire
ment long and well before adopting it.
AS rule active men who retire are
soon retired from this world: The
man who lives long-who longest pre-
serves his physical and mental pow
ers-is the man who works until the
last call comes to him.
But Mr. Mansfield was English
born, and he may have inherited En-
glish notions on that point rather than
the straight American idea which calls
for work from a man as long as there
is any good work left in him.

king Lear.
Alabama is Calm.

Were it not for local nominations
and the work of county and district
aspirants this state would lapse into po-
litical apathy of the denest sort. The
farmers and merchants are Iexcusable
Just lat present, because they are full
of plans relating to the next crops
But the county newspapers scarcely
mention matters of a political sort.
Now. and then an aspirant for local
office inspires a paragraph or even an
article, but beyond that interest seems
to be sadly lacking.
In the senatorial race there is no
conflict. and the gubernatorial race IS
not spirited and the average voter
does not seem to take to heart the
succession senatorial race. As for the
minor state offices no one SENS to
know or care yet about them.
No state is more tranquil politically
speaking than Alabama. and TINS IS
all the more remarkable when Georgia.
lying alongside, is in a state of ex-
IRENE political turmoil. Alabama Is
as calm as Georgia is disturbed. The
one is peaceful while the air in the
other is full of charges and counter
charges, epithets and even oaths.
All in all the Alabama spirit is pref
erable AS August approaches things
political will warm up, some, but no
one need expect an unusual degree
of heat. Alabama is conservative
busv hannv and in a frame of mind
that induces it to consider politics as
but an incident of life.

This Years cotton Cren.

The south is flooded with advice
that will not be needed. The advice
is good enough in its way. although
it is not as a rule pitched on the riglt
line. Instead of telling the farmers
to plant less cotton, they should be
told TO plant a sufficiency of food
crops, and then to plant all the cotton
they can cultivate and pick out, no
matter whether they increase the cot
ton acreage or not
But the truth is, the farmers them
selves know a thing or two, and they
are not waiting for advice from any
one before they pitch their own crops.
They know as much about consump-
ton and the general situation as their
self-eonsttuted advisers know, and
they have no axe to grind in the form
of salary. Each farmer will plant
as his individual circumstances die
tate, and volume Of appeals will not
change his determination.
There is not this year any danger
of too much cotton if each farmer will
make his own corn and meat, for farm
supplies are largely included in the
two items. The farmer who plants
enough corn will naturally make his
own meat. The problem. therefore, is
reduced to a self-sustaining crop. Ala
bama has grown her own corn, and
she can do it again. If her farmers
will render the import of corn impos-
sible. it does not matter how much
cotton they grow-the more the bet
ter, in fact The corn will feed all. and
the cotton will be the cash crop, and
little of the cash part would be sent
to the northwest for flour and hay and
butter and the like.
A state in the south that grows its
own corn is destined to become a rich
state, because the money derived from
cotton will stay in good part at home,
and that would solve the great agri-
cultural problem. A state that has its
grainaries and meat houses in the
northwest need not expect to become
rich, Independent and powerful.

Monument to Pocahontas.

'There is an association at the national
capital composed of patriotic men and
women who purpose to erect at the
jamestown exposition in 1907 memorial
to the Indian princess, who, according TO
Capt. John Smith, was next unto God an
instrument to preserve Virginia from
death. famine and utter confusion said
a member of the Virginia colony.
ut is rather extraordinary, as the Sec
rotary of this association points out, that
three hundred years have been allowed
TO elapse since the foundation of James
town without any monument having been
erected to perpetuate the memory of the
girl who i'm her teens settled the destiny
of the United States. In his book John
smith credited her with having saved the
colony as we'll as having saved him. and
John Fiske. the famous New England
historian. seems convinced that both ad-
missions are founded on fact and are es-
sentially true.
.'Whatever motive may have inspired
Pocahontas, whether 1t was love of Smith
or simple humanity, no one knows, ira
dition says the former, but it Is hard to
imagine that a young girl would become
enamoured of an adventurer like Smith,
whose face as shown in his book was
wonderfully fierce and very Scared, and
who must have been abrupt of speech
and extremely rough"

INDIA NATIVES EARTH EATERS.
Soil That Oriental Gourmets Consider

Efforts are being made to stamp out

Express.

This is excavated mostly at Meth. in
Bikanir and is exported to the Punjab at
the rate of 1000 camel loads year.
In different districts different varieties
of clay are eaten, but If the natives have
at one time a taste for a special kind of
mud as the habit increases the depraved
appetite soon becomes satisfied with
bricks and broken pots. White ant soil,
with the nests and ants themselves, is a
great delicacy.
The reasons given for indulging In the
habit are classified linden the following
heads: /. A peculiar fascinating odor and
taste in the clay, rendering it delicacy
2. An unnatural craving due to disease
8. To satisfy hunger 4. Force Of exam
pie. s. Supposed medicinal virtues.
A university graduate confessed to a
friend that the bland earthly ouor was
great temptation to him. and the thought
of ii made his mouth water. He always
enjoyed the odor, he said, when April
showers fell upon previously parched
earth.
The effects OF the habit are disastrous
Those women addicted to It very soon

the limbs, and then palptation and diff

MISS ETHEL ROOSEVELT
NEW WHITE HOUSE BELLE

Reformed church. Mrs. Roosevelt is an
Episcopalian. and all her children are
being brought up in that faith The first
Mrs. Roosevelt was also an Episcopalian,
and her daughter, Miss Alice. was also
affiliated with that church. and it is also
the faith Of her grandmother, Mrs. Lee
of Boston
This is the second session that Ethel
Roosevelt has been attending the Ca
thedral school Usually she goes to the
White House on Friday afternoons and
remains there with the family until Sun
day MISUNDERSTANDING staying over
until Monday morning. Those who are
acquainted with her state that she Is an
apt scholar. though not any brighter than
the average girl of her age 1t is under
stood that the progress being made by
her in her studies is entirely satisfactory
to her parents
1t Is also said that Eethel is popular
among her schoolmates, and from time to
time she writes some of her girl chums
to visit her at the White House. As
rule White House carriage is sent out
to the school for the Presidents daugh-
ter but as he has instilled democratic
ideas into all of his children it happens
every now and then that little Miss Ethel
will come into town on a trolley ear
when the weather is pleasant
Ethel is generally regarded as the best
looking of the Roosevelt children. Her
complexion is clear, and at all times she
has the appearance of enjoying excellent
health She Is neithrr tall nor short for
her age--just the average size for girl
of her years. In womanhood she will
doubtless be taller than Mrs. Longworth,
but not much taller, In the opinion OF
those who know the Roosevelt family
well. Ethel, like Mrs. Longworth. has
light eyes. 1t seems TO be characteristic
of the Roosevelts. Her hair is also light
brown. Her head is shapely and her
figure, as she develops, promises to be
a trim one.
Miss Roosevelt will be in her eighteenth
year when the Presidents term of office
expires. Since the marriage of Alice it
is a question very much discussed as to
whether Col. Roosevelt's second daughter
will or will not make her formal debut
In the White House. Most of the So
ciety devotees are positive that she will
quit school before the social season of
the winter of 1859 opens Others seem
to think that the President will insist
on her attending an institution of learn
ing of much higher grade than any in
the District of Columbia If that be his
wish Miss Roosevelt may be 20 years or
more of age before she Is graduated with
the high honors her father would have
her take.

WELL-RALANcEp CATS.

From tho Kansas City Times.

tail off she can't catch mice any more?
asked young woman OF another.
II don't see why" replied the other
land, further | can't imagine what oc-
caslon you have had for cutting off cats
tails to see."
Il haven't cut off any cats tails, but
an accident deprived our cat of its caudal
appendage. The feline became as helpless
as ship without a rudder When 1t tried
to spring upon an object it would alight
far to one side. The look of panied sur
prise ON the cats features was pathetic.
After a while it learned to jump straight
again, but is was a long and painful expe-
rience for the poor cat. The balance of
power and the power to balance seem to
lie in the tail of the cat"
