DECLARES NEW YORK GOVERNOR
is NOT FRIEND OF THE
PEOPLE.
KILLED TWO CENT FARE
When Measure Passed New York S
Republican Legislature - Western
Governors Have Signed
Similar Bills.

/ Lincoln, .eb, Oct 12.-In an ad
dress at the State University this
afternoon w. j. Bryan attacked the
argument of Governor Hughes in de-
fense of the Republican platform
dwelling on the difference between
the two platforms relating to the pub
licity of campaign contributions, and
discussed the propriety of President
Roosevelt supporting Taft.
In attacking the position of the Re
publicans in the tariff situation, he de-
llivered epigrams which kept the stu
dents cheering.
The principal part of the speech of
the candidate was occupied by an an
swer of the arguments of Hughes who
spoke to the university students a
short time ago He held that the de.
tense of the Republican platform by
Hughes had found favor wit hthe pres
ident and that because the president
thought it stronger than Hughes, an
eastern Republican, he had little SYM
pathy for western ideas of reform.
"As an evidence that Hughes is not
in sympathy with western reforms,
said Bryan, you will recall that he We
toed the two cent passage rate bill and
he did this in spite of the fact that
the Republican legislature of New
York passed the bill Governors IN
the western state signed this bill and
we are now enjoying the benefits of
the two cent fare. New York is more
thckly settled than the western states,
and yet he gave the benefit of the
doubt to the railroads in their con-
test with their patrons"
Bryan declared that Hughes had no
sympathy with the people in their
fight against the trusts.

Even his father didn't know about
It.. Nobody knew about 1t but Bill
and the postmaster. Uncle Sam likes
honey, and to further the industry of
bee culture and honey making, rates
the queen bee as an exception to the
general rule that nothing alive may
be forwarded through the mails.
"Bill had built his own hive,
Spanish like he said, so she would
feel at home and had taken it to the
woods. From that and subsequent
visits to the location of Bills first

investigation on his own part, your
Uncle Joe presumes to tell you the
following, what he hopes will prove
interesting, facts concerning bees:
"a bee hive is city in itself and
may contain from twenty thousand
to sixty thousand inhabitants. A
single queen rules over all. In this
city each citizen follows the laws,
going out when it is time to go out,
coming home at proper hours, and
staying at home when it is his or
her duty. In the winter time, hav-
ing no fires to warm them, the bees
cling together in a bunch, just the
same as children cuddle.
"One might suppose, Just because
one single queen rules over so many,
having so many subjects to work for
her and wait upon her, she would do
nothing but amuse herself. On the
contrary, she, too, obeys the laws
laid down for her guidance. and
never, except on one or two state oc-
casions, goes out of the city, but
works as hard as the rest In perform
| ing her o71c royal duties.

queens, and the intervals between
their laying are to insure correspond
ing intervals in their Matching, for
but one queen bee may be in one
hive. Just before the first princess
is born the old queen mother flies
away with all of those subjects which
wish to accompany. and establishes
new home or hive. Just before the
second princess is born the new ruler
flies away in the same manner. Sew
eral other Swarms may leave the
hive, but when there are no more
bees DESTROYS of leaving, the remain
ing young princesses are stung to
death in their cells by the latest
queen. And 1t is not long after I'M

two iore-legs clinGing to the two
! hinder-leSs of the one above 1t. In
this way as many as 10000 bees may
lie ciinging together and yet they
hang so freely that a bee, even from
quite the center of the swarm, can
disengage herself from her neigh
bors and pass through to the outside
of the cluster whenever she wishes.
IF these bees were left to them
selves, they would find a home after
time in hollow tree, or under the
rcof of a house, or in some other
cavity, and begin to build their honey
comb there. But not wishing to lose
their honey we will bring a hive,

Long division, a writer in the New

One day the teacher came along and
