BEES SWARM ON
MARKET SQUARE
Large Hive Strays With Queen Into
Midst of City-Are Secured Final
Iy by Fred Spanger.

A bit of rural activity was trans
planted into the heart of the city this
morning, very appropriately on Mar
ket square. A swarming hive of bees
made their appearance on Market
square, and for nearly an hour inter
ested spectators watched Fred Spang-
ler'S efforts to induce the bees to alight.
He was given a clear field, and the
spectators kept carefully on the side
walks! safe distance from the buzz
zing honey makers. Mr.. Spangler
adopted a method a little different
from that commonly used, and con-
fused the bees by keeping the reflect
ed rays from mirror flashing on
them. The bees finally swarmed on
a tree on Third avenue just east of
Seventeenth street. and Mr. Spangler
secured them by cutting off the
branch, which was one of the highest
on the tree.
1t is not known where the bees
came from. but it is supposed that
they swarmed from some hive on the
outskirts of the city.

8e Served Boiled.

Although cabbage has often been
called the poor mans vegetable. many
appetizing and attractive dishes can
be made from 1t. We give several 5000
recipes:
An unusually good salad was recent
~ served at a luncheon. The inside OF
a good-sized cabbage was cut out. ana
the space filled with . mixture OF
chopped celery, cucumbers and pep
pers dressed with oil and vinegar, and
well seasoned. The top OF the cab
bage was replaced after the filling
was put in. and the head was then
placed on q plate in front OF the hos
tess, who did the serving. The
guests wondered II they beheld an
other mysterious Jack Homer pie.
Another way to use . head OF cab
bage Is to follow the same plan. only
filling the hole with finely chopped
meat, little onion, and bread crumbs.
Bake until tender and then cut In
slices and serve with . cream sauce.
This makes q very good luncheon dish
or an entree at dinner.
Fried cabbage is particularly good
at this time of year. First boil the
cabbage until tender, and when cold
cut into small pieces. Cut some slices
of bacon into strips and put them In
the frying pan. When they have com
menced to cook. and the bottom OF the
pan is well creased. add tho cabbage
and fry until q light brown. Season
with salt and pepper.
For creamed cabbage, boil the cab.
bage tender, drain OF the water and
put into the pot with large teaspoon
full of -four, q tablespoonful OF butter,
little salt, and half cupful OF milk.
Cook, stirring, until the sauce ID
smooth.

Cleaning Tan Shoes.

Often the binding of ones dress will
leave dirty black mark across the
instep Of dainty tan shoes and this
simply refuses to be cleaned with the
ordinary tan polishes. The shoes can
be washed. but the rag must be merely
dampened and rubbed on naphths

leather must be washed or Rinse the
cleth and wipe the shoes and rub dry
with an old towel. They will be clean
and lusterless. Apply a good tan pol.
