No indeed. No Angel.

There is an eternal masculine as there
is an. eternal feminine, and in the young
musculine animal of the human race the
idea that it is not consistent with his
dignity and strength of character to be
considered too good develops early. This
was shown the other day by a very lit
tie man named Vincent, who is so small
that his knowledge of the use of words
is as yet very rudimentary The little
girl, who is older, had returned from Sun
day school. and grandmamma had asked
her. on general principles. what the les
son was about.
"0h, about angels" replied the little
girl indefinitely. and then. seeing a pos
sible application, she turned to the baby,
adding. And you are a little angel,
aren't you, Vincent?"
Baby might have been expected to be
pleased at this compliment affectionate-
ly given. but not at all He screwed up
his small face, threw all the force OF his
small mind into the putting together OF
the proper words. and burst out:
"No-I bad boy"

QUEEN BEES SURVIVE
LONG JOURNEY

Two full-blooded italian queen
queen bees, each accompanied by an
escort of a couple of dozen males, ar
rived in Walla Walla Saturday APP
parently in good health and spirits
after their 5000 mile journey, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. The bees
came, by registered mail, to Ambrose
Rypeznski the well known bee fan
cier, who runs an apiary on the Coyle
ranch near the city.
During their long journey the bees
were fed from a supply OF sugared
honey placed in one end of the tiny
cake in which they were mailed. But
one bee of each set died on the trip,
and according to Mr.. Rypeznski, II
is probable tha these fatalities were
due to jealousy, rather than to bad
conditions surrounding the journey.
The Italian bees, which are said to
be better producers Of honey than the
American bee, are of bright color
and extremely pretty.

Melon Crop Is Short.

Because OF the late and backward
spring. the melon crop OF The Dalles
and vicinity this year will not be up
10 the standard as to quantity
though the quality is excellent. Wa
termelons, a sample OF which was
brought in by C. L. Hazen OF Dry
Hollow, Monday are said to yield not
to exceed a half crop. Cantaloupes
are yielding better, though they are
not so prolific as last year, says a re-
port from The Dalles.
Both products are from two to
three weeks later than common. Or
dinarily watermelons begin to appear
in the local markets about August !,
this year August 10 marked the first
showing of the local product.
Cantaloupes, which generally ripen
from one to three weeks before wa
termelons, are also late, and did not
appear until about August this
year.

SPIDER BITE is SERIOUS.
Walla Walla Man Suffering From
Strange Accident.

Bitten by a spider, bled by a leech
and dosed by a doctor, Moses Mas
kelyne lies in a serious condition at
his home, 21O North Fourth street,
While his wound is not as serious as
was feared last night, 1t is still very
/ painful and may prove more trouble
some than it now looks, says tn.
Walla Walla Statesman.
Mr.. Maskelyne was sleeping in a
tent on his lawn and early yesterday
morning an unfrlendly spider crawled
over his face, biting him on the left
side Of the upper lip. The bite was
not painful at first but soon proved to
be. The lip swelled to an enormous
size and it soon became apparent that
something would have to be done to
relieve the situation.
So they sent for leech. The leech
was applied yesterday evening and i'm
medlately began to such blood with a
vengeance In fact he sucked so Wig
orously that when he was pulled off
the blood soon began to flow so rap
idly that It could not be checked.
After trying in vain to stop the
blood Maskelyne went down town and
Officer Allen took him to DR.. Stew
arts office. where the flow was stop
ped and the injury properly dressed.
According to the physician the wound
is a serious one but will probably.
with proper care, heal with no more
difficulty.
