Washington, Dec. 21.-In accord
ance with custom, the children Of the
president will have no Christmas tree.
| This has been the rule of former sea-
/ sons as well as now. In fact, there
/ has not been a Christmas tree in the
! White House since the Cleveland ad-
administration, when the little daughters
Of that president and their friends al
ways made merry in the library on
Christmas afternoon.
The first thing the Roosevelt chill
dren will do on Christmas morning
will be to examine the wel-crammed
stockings which Santa Claus has tied
to a corner post of each little bed. II
will be an interesting and even excit-
ing ceremony.
The inspection of stockings, how
ever, will be merely Introductory to
the pleasures of the day. After
breakfast the impatient youngsters
will be allowed to enter the Study
upstairs, where the gifts are laid out.
one corner of the study" will be set
apart for the gifts provided for each
Of the four younger children.
Queer Gifts From Admirers.
Many of the gifts that reach the
White House at Christmas time are
for the children, and some of them
are very funny. 1t has come to be
understood among the people at large
that the Roosevelts are strenuous
family much given to athletic exercis-
es, and undoubtedly a considerable
percentage of the presents sent by
strangers this year will be in the line
of football outfits, punching baks and
gymnasium apparatus.
As a matter of fact, nearly all of
the gifts thus sent to the Roosevelt
youngsters find their way TO chill
dren's hospital in Washington. They
are altogether superfluous. Few
young folks in all the land are so well
supplied with toys and other Christ
mas presents as the presidents off
spring, and Mrs. Roosevelt, few days
before the holiday arrives, visits the
Washington shops for the purpose of
laying in a supply of playthings and
articles of more serious usefulness.
The Roosevelts will have their
Christmas dinner at 1880 p. m, and
only members of the family will be
present. 1t is almost the only meal
of the year at the White House to
which, under the present admins
tration, no guests are invited. 1t will

BEES THRIVE IN WASHINGTON.
Busy Little Insects Bring In GoodIy
Revenue Each Year.


Revenue Each Year.
Charles w. Sager, the bee king of
central Washington, has succeeded in
making a record in his apary that will
attract the attention of all those inter
ested in honey-making, says the Seattle
Times. At his ranch near Belma, Sa-
ger has upward of 100000 bees.
Speaking of his experience in bee cul-
ture in this locality recently, he had the
following to say:
"When | came to this country four
years ago the few people here who had
bees told me two supers to a colony
would be all any would gather. That
year lost much because | was not
prepared with supers and the bees had
no room to store what they could gath
er. In 1905 | had ninety colonies in
the spring. During the season they
produced $3.50 pounds of hOney-2,S50
pounds extracted honey and $500
pounds comb honey, an average of nine
ty and half pounds to the colony.
''The best colony produced 1876
pounds. The lowest gathered fifty-six
pounds. In 1906 they did somewhat
better. l began the season with eighty
six colonies, from which l took S,S6s
pounds, or 103 pounds to the colony
The gathering this year will be only
about half crop. This condition, how
ever, seems to be general.
"In a good year the bees can gather
honey quickly and consequently it is
very clear. Comb honey usually whole
sales for 1919 cents a pound, and the
extracted product for 1-3 cents. At
this price the colony making 1876 pounds
would produce $24.50 worth of honey.
The principal advantage of extract.
Ing the honey Is that 1t leaves the comb
ready for the bees to refill, thus saw
ing the time required to build new
combs. Also the freight on extracted
honey Is only about half what it Is on
comb honey. Bee authorities contend
that bees will produce one and a half,
pOuutiS VI tAll W UIe VI
comb honey. Alfalfa makes the clear
est and very best honey. Each variety
Of bloom makes a different colored and
favored honey. -
This country is much better thai
the average for honey because Of the
great quantity Of alfalfa raised. How.
ever, the ranchers are cutting their
grass SO soon after the bloom arrives
that the bees do not have the opportun
ity they could if 1t were left standing
few weeks longer.
During the working season the aver
age life of working bee is forty-twc
days. Sixty-three days from the egg to
the grave. A good queen will lay from
1000 to 5000 eggs In day. l like t.
have about 10000 bees to the colony

END OF TROUBLE
AT WILLAMETTE,

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 25.-The slumber-

ment of Willamette university has
been given slight vent without any
explosion by the departure of Presi-
ldent Coleman for the east, where he
will probably be made a bishop Of the
Methodist church. The university will
have new president and all differ
ences that have been stirring the board
OF trustees to the depths will be har-
monZed.
1t is an open secret among the stu
dent body that Dean Boyer and Pres
ident Coleman have beer living at
swords points for some time. High
words have passed between them at
times that resounded in the assembly,
and while Boyer has gained steadily
in. the affection of the student body,
there has been no disposition to throw
off on Coleman. He has done a great
work for the institution, and Boyer has
developed executive ability of a high
order. 1t is expected the elevation of
Coleman to the vacant bishopric at
Baltimore will solve a problem that
has presented angular aspects.
