BEES WERE CLEVER.
A Farmer Stole Honey, but The
Trailed Him and Got 1t Back.

A Farmer Stole Honey, but They
Trailed Him and Got 1t Back.
When Elmer White found a bee tree
last summer, which he figured would
yield at least a bushel of honey, he
was greatly pleased, for he needed a
new shotgun for the fall hunting and
was a little short Of ready cash. He
estimated that the sweet would pay
for half the cost at any rate, says the
New York World, and visited the tree
now and then until the Woodworking
bees had filled and sealed the combs
preparatory to a long, cold winter.
Then he cut the tree down, smoked
off the indignant bees and with the
help Of his wife carted the honey
home. There was a little over a bushel
and it was finally decided to put it in
the loft over the corncrib. Here, Mrs.
White said, it would keep dry and get
enough air to prevent granulation. AS
honey wasn't bringing much at the
time, it was thought better to hold it
until the first of September, when the
price would advance.
Along in August Mr.. White went to
Rutland and picked out a fine, breech-
loading shotgun for $12 and told the
storekeeper to put it aside and he
would call for it before duck season.
He paid 81 ON deposit and felt so
pleased that he bought his wife new
poke sunbonnet for So. Then he went
home to farm it and wait for the rise
in the price of honey.
The rise came about Sept. 1, as he
expected, and recently he drove to the
village and met travelling produce
merchant by appointment Together
they journeyed back to the farm and
the pair, accompanied by Mrs. White,
got ladder and proceeded to the corn
crib.
The merchant had brought some tin
boxes and a pair Of scales and, leaving
! the latter in the barn and swinging the
former on a rope, he followed the farm
ed on the ground.
The surprise Of the pair when they
found every particle of the honey miss
| ing from the comb can scarcely be i'm
agined. Not grain had been left.
The comb itself remained intact, but
the sweet had been taken to the last
drop.
wall, I'm jiggered if that don't
beat me clean hOller," gasped Mr..
White, gazing in dismay at the dry
comb.
The merchant, who had been exam
lining one of the many small airholes,
laughed uproariously
Il guess this explains it." he said,
pointing to a hole well stuck up around
the edges. ''Those bees were a little
too smart for you, captain. They've
flown in and retrieved their losses"
And so it turned out. The intelli-
gent insects, under the leadership of
the queen bee, had followed the de-
stroyers of their home to the farm and
when the honey had been deposited
within reach had industriously taken
| it away a little at time. It was USE
less looking for it now, as they had
flown far with the sweet particles and
were now beginning their winters

PROCLAIM WAR.

Russians RebSIS EOrmauy PROCLAIM
for Armed Uprising.
1t is no longer a strike but an open,
armed rebellion, in Russia. The council
of workmen met secretly in st. Peters
burg Saturday night and after an eight
hour session adopted a resolution to call
off the strike Monday because the fight
of the people against the government can
no longer be limited to the disorganiza-

to proceed Immediately with warlike OPP
Grating and the organization of an armed
uprising"
The council recognized that the at
tempt Of an immediate uprising could
not succeed in the capital, but while
making preparations it would be neces-
sary to undertake sort of guerrilla war
fare, consisting of the disarming of police
and soldiers wherever they are found
alone in the streets, the use of bombs
from ambush and other acts Of terror.
The council drew up proclamation
to the Cossacks warning them that if
they continued to fight against the peo-
pie they would be treated like mad dogs
and if they desired to be treated like
brothers they should remain in their bar
racks. An appeal was also drawn up re-
questing the proletariat of all countries
to support the fight begun at Moscow.

How Husbands Are spoi1t.


1t takes a woman Of, tact to be a
good wife. There are many good men
who, under different management
would deteriorate rapidly. There are
others who are looked upon as almost
cruel husbands, yet who would under
wiser management be the very re-
verse. A good wife should study her
husband just as a good mother
studies her child, if she would have a
happy, contented home life. 1t may be
bitterly hard in some instances to keep
your trials to yourself, but eventually
you will feel that you have achieved a
noble victory. Often the petty matters
that the injured wife seeks advice
about are smoothed out happily with
out Intervention; then would she not
give worlds to have her secret still her
own? Above all things, bear in mind
that if you ALLOW your husband TO
know that you complain about him.
or fail to show him proper respect be-
fore your friends, you will have lost
your strongest hold OH him.

SLAIN BY BOMB.
Former Governor of Idaho Killed
While Entering Home.

Former Governor of Idaho Killed
While Entering Home.
Frank Steunenberg, former Govern
or of the State of Idaho, was killed by
the explosion of a dynamite bomb Sat
urday evening. and thus, after the in
tervention OF number of years, the
inner circle of the Occur D'Alene dy-
namiters whom he so relentlesSly
prosecuted while Governor is believed
to have secured its long threatened re-
yenge.
The asssination of Steunenberg was
one of the most cold-blooded and re
voting crimes of its nature n the his
tory of the United States. Never be-
fore has the dreaded weapon of the
Russian anarchists. with which the
Cars of the empire are kept in con-
slant fear, been turned on any man,
no matter how hated, in American
public life
The bomb was placed at the gate
of the former Governors home in such
a manner that the opening of the gate
would set it Off. The Steunenberg
residence is situated in the Boise sub
urb of Caldwell, and Steunenberg was
later than usual in getting to his home
Saturday evening. He reached the
gate at about GAO O'Clock and swung
it open with a shove. Instantly there
was a mighty explosion The noise
was heard miles away. Windows were
shaken in houses blocks distant.
Members of the Steunenberg family
Immediately rushed to the scene Of
the explosion. The gate had been shat
tered into a thousand bits and lying
in the midst of the debris was the for
mer Governor. Both legs had been
carried away and what was left of
the body was horribly cut and bruised.
who shot me?' muttered Steunen-
berg family. He then lapsed off into
Inconsistencies. He was carried into
the house and died twenty minutes
later He never recovered conscious
ness.
The authorities are firmly convinced
that the assassination was the result
of the prominent part Steunenberg
played in the prosecution of the Occur
D'Alene dynamiters while Governor in
1899. His life has frequently been
threatened by men identified with the
inner circle of the dynamiters.
