COLORADO BEEkEEPERs.
Made No Profits Last Year But Are
Not DISCOURAGED.

Denver-To devise means of i'm
proving the quality of their stock
formed the principal topic of discus
sion at the State Bee Keepers con-
vention, which opened its convention
at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
morning. About 100 of the leading bee
keepers of Colorado were in attend
ance. Acting President NJ. A. McGill
presided.
In contrast with the general report
of last years meeting, when it was
shown that the honey crop was the
biggest recorded in many years, the
yield in the last year has been almost
failure throughout the state. 1t was
feared several months ago that the
bees would not live throughout the
year. but with the favorable weather
bee keepers agree that they have had
few losses so far, and if no severe eli
matte conditions are encountered in
the next two months, they believe
their stock will survive until June. At
present, however, they have not sum-
cient honey to live on, and most keep
ers have been obliged TO give them
other feed.
One of the strongest points urged
was the necessity of raising superior
kind of bee.
AT the session Wednesday numerous
papers treating on the various meth
DDS of the proper maintenance of the
bee and the hive were read and dis
cussed. The different subjects were
taken up separately. and this session
was of greater interest to the dele
gates than any of the others. Gen
eral discussions resulted in the dis.
closure of important information con-
cerning the industry.
The following officers were elected:
President, w. p. Collins, Boulder; vice
president, Frank Rauchfuss. Denver
secretary, G. Tomlin, Fort Collins:
treasurer, Mrs. r. A. Rhodes, Platte
Vile.
The committees were formed as fol-
lows: Executive, Oliver Foster; legis-
lative, Frank Rauchfuss. V. Devinnv,

Cashiers Matters at the Bank.
Constance was left a prey to anx-
ious thoughts while Tony went on
toward the mill building. long, low
built structure on the river bank.
Tony asked to see Mr.. Carter. and
was directed to his office, comfort
able enough apartment at the rear of
the building.
"Mr. Carter, have you seen Mr..
Hamilton, this morning-or last
night?"
Seen Mr.. Hamilton! What do you
mean, young man? You ought to
know / haven't without asking" he
said irritably
"Mr. Hamilton was at the bank
last night, that's all, said Tony.
And never came near the mill,
Look here, Henderson," he called.
"Vane has come, and we can get him
to straighten that consignment mat
ter"

know. Carter, l said this morning he
was likely to walk in at any time"
But it seems he hasn't" said Tony,

ETY., at their readiness to shuttle off
their responsibilities And then he
told them the facts as he had done
to Mrs. Hamilton.
BY George! That looks bad, don't
it, Carter?"
Yes; where can he be now"
That's the question. Perhaps he
came back after something, and didn't
want to trouble Constance by going
there. She, of course, would object
to his going away again, and he knows
it. He knows very well, too, that his
mysterious journeys vex her as we'll
they might"
Where does he go. Carter, every
year in May?"
You know as well as I do. | only
hope there's no danger in it, that's
all. Seems as if there must be, or
he would tell Constance"

to have you step up to the house."

SAD SIGHT IN INDIA.
Hilimen Stageer Under Burden of
Immense PIanks.


No sadder sight is to be seen in
India than the spectacle of "The
Men With the Planks," staggering
along under their burden. Here is a
grimly pathetic picture of them, drawn
by Sir Frederick Treves:
They are hillmen of the poorer
sort who carry planks of sawn wood
to fourteen feet in length, and two
or three make up load. The men
are ill-clad, and the sun and rain
have tanned them and their rags to
the color of brown earth. They bear
the planks across their bent backs,
and the burden is grievous. They
come from place some days journey
toward the SHOWS. They plod along
from the dawn to the twilight. They
seem crushed by the weight OF the
beams. and their gait is more the gait
of stumbling beast than the walk of
a man. Their long black hair is white
with dust as 1t hangs by each side of
their bowed-down faces. The sweat
among the wrinkles on their brows is
hardened into lamentable clay. They
walk in single file, and when the path
is narrow they must needs move side
ways. The path is In soil.
tude among bare and pitiless hills
the road is as old as the world; and
in the weary dust of it many hun.
dreds have dropped and died Along
it steals this patient line OF grooming
men. bending under the burden OF the
planks upon their backs. Behind
then a rosy-tinted light is falling upon
the spotless SHOWS. and 1t needs only
the pointing figure of Dante on one
OF the barren peaks to complete the
picture of a circle in PurgatYry

DEER PURSUED By WOLVES.

Tragedy on the Ice Related by En-
nest Thompson Seton.
When desperately hungry in regions
where deer are not SO plentiful the
wolves will stick to the one they start
with and follow to finish, lie it ever
SO far. l have heard the accounts of
many old Ontario hunters that entirely
supports this belief, says Ernest Thomp-
so1 Seton In Scribner's.
In my own journal find an instance
In point, related to me by Gordon
Wright of Carberry, Manitoba. During
the winter Of 1865 he was shantying at
Sturgeon Lake, Ontario. One Sunday
he and some companions strolled OF:
on the ice Of the lake to look at the
dogs there. They heard the hunting
cry of wolves, then a deer Ga femaie)
darted from the woods to the open ice.
Her sides were heaving her tongue out
and her legs cut with the slight cruct
on the snow. Evidently she was hard
pressed and had run for some time.
She was coming toward them, but one
Of the men gave shout, which caused
her to sheer off. A minute later six
timber wolves appeared, galloping on
her trail, heads low, tails horizontal.
and bowling continuously. They were
uttering their hunting cry, but as soon
as they saw her they broke into loud
er, different note, left the trail and
made straight for their prey. Five Of
the wolves were abreast and one that
seemed much darker was behind. With
in half mile they overlook the deer
and pulled her down, all seemed to
seize her at once. For few moments
she bleated like sheep In distress !;
after that the only sound was the snarl-
Ing and crunching of the wolves as they
feasted. Within fifteen minutes moth
ing was left Of the victim but hair AMI
some of the larger bones, the wolves
fighting among themselves for even
these. Then they scattered, each going
a mile or SO, no two in the same direc-
ton, and those that remained In sight
curled up there on the open lake to
sleep. This happened at about 10 in
the morning within 800 yards Of sew
eral witnesses.
