HAD STORED HONEY IN HOUSE
Industrious Fees Had Hive BetWee en-
Floors of Dwelling.

For several years Patrick Prender
CAST of Abingdon, Pa, lived in house
along the Old York road, not knowing
that a swarm of bees also considered
it their home. The swarm hived be-
tween the first and second floors, di-
rectly beneath the beds occupied each
night by Prendergast and his family.
The house where Prendergast lived
with a realty sale, passed into posses
sion of John Lambert, Jr., promi-
Gent Philadelphia, with country
place at Abingdon. In line with pro-
jected Improvements, Lambert ar
ranged to have the house moved back
from the present foundations, pre-
liminary to having it remodeled, the
structure being more than 100 years
old.
Workmen discovered the presence
OF the bees, and an apiarist employed
to remove the swarm found more than
200 pounds of pure honey between the
second floor and the ceiling of the
first. 1t being assumed that Mr.. Lam
bert took title to the honey with the
house, the honey was turned over to
him.

Price Of Peace.

A story IS told of Verdi the famous
composer, which shows that he was
willing to pay a good price for what
he considered comfort.
A friend who went to call upon him
In small watering place, found the
composer in little room which he
informed his visitor served him for
dining-room, sitting.room and bed
room.
II have two other rooms, which arc
large" he said to his friend but |

He paused to note his friends sur
prise, and then continued:

tortured by hearing them play TROY,

about 1900 lire for them, and enjoy

Wisconsin elevators but practically
every elevator in the West has beer
opened to the public generally, for thu
storage of grain.
Large reductions were made IN the
rates on grain, livestock, dairy products
coal, sugar beets, brick wood, and the
| like, resulting in Unreasonable beneh'
to the general public, saving to the
farmers, manufacturers, and merchants
and consumers Of the state more than
81, 600. 600, 600 90 annually,
After a thorough and painstaking con
sideration the commission established
two and one half cent fare with the ex'
recitation of reducing it to two cents
~ soon as conditions would Justify a
farther reduction believing a two and
one. half cent fare to be the lowest which
would stand the test of the courts, with
ont making it necessary for the rail-
roads to make up passenger losses ont OF
freight receipts, thereby causing higher
freight rates.
MIR. Barnes believing the policy OF the
commission, the adoption of which he
advocated, more just to the patrons OF
the railroads, especially those affected
by freight rates than the policy declar,
ed by the legislature, while conceding the
right of the legislature to adopt any pol
lev it chose, felt that he could not con
sistently, after having publicly endors'
ed a different position remain member
of the commission, and therefore resign
ed from his position. The fine sense OF
honor. and the high ideal of duty which
a2tuated Mr.. Barnes cannot be two
highly commended.
Since then be has been and is engag-
ed in general law practice, principally
before the Railroad Commission of WIS
consin and the Interstate Commerce
Commission, appearing uniformly in De-
half of the shipper.
Railroad regulation by commission Is
comparatively new subject, and but
little understood By the profession, and
one that is bound to grow in Importance
with time. Mr. Barnes close study OF
these important questions will make him
very decided acquisition to the Su.
preme Court of this state. Mr., Barnes
is as years of age, in the prime of life
and 10 years Younger than his youngest
opponent. He has a strong, vigorous
constitution and is energetic and indus
trious. These are matters worthy OF
consideration in the choice of Judge,
The fitness of Mr. Barnes for the
Office to which he aspires has been eX'
pressed in the endorsement given MN

The Postmaster General has barred

ton Sociale, weekly paper published
at Paterson, n j., in the interest of
anarchy. The paper advocated dynamit-
ing American soldiers, policemen and
heads of government. Excerpts from its
editorials have recently been translated
into English and transmitted to daily
newspapers by correspondents at Pater-
son. The ahysmal ignorance of the
anarchists has been plainly shown in the
utterances of the newspaper As an IL
lastration it was stated in a recent par
agraph that if the anarchists would only
dynamite a number Of police of New
York the people would be with them,
and the effort 70 gain freedom would
be successful The natural impulse of
every American who has the proper un-
Outstanding of the benefits conferred up
on the law abiding individual by a Re
publican government Is to kill an an
archist as he would step npon the head

representatives the editors of La Cues

their lives The people-that Is TO say

sassinatiOn.
No better proof of the benignity of or.
ganiZed government is needed, to con.
vince sane persons than the fact that it
Is the sole protection of the anarchist
And no better proof of the respect OF an
American community for the laws Is
needed than the fact that Paterson has
not treated her anarchists 10 dose OF
the rledicine they prescribe, Because
Paterson has been for some years a
rendezvous for group of foreigners to
whose besotted minds all government
is oppression and all law an infringe
ment of rights, the name OF the town
has become infamous all over the con
tinent. Yet the people of Paterson, a
large majority Of whom are peace lov
ing, industrious, BODYBUILDING Ameri-
can citizens, proud of, and satisfied with.
American institutions have been so long
suffering that they have refrained from
demolishing the plant of La Question

supports it.
If the people of Paterson had rs little
appreciation of the value Of law and or

personal rights rs have the editors and
the readers of La Question Sociale' no
anarchist would be alive in Paterson

Selected Her Own Coin.

This curious incident of travel in
Africa is told by A. Henry Savage
LanGor: II wished to buy a bag Of
grain, but the woman who owned it
would on no account accept silver
money for it, nor any article which
she saw in my camp. My Somali
servant had bright idea-the only
one he had during the entire journey
across Africa. He went to one of the
boxes of provisions and tore off a
highly colored label from corn beef
tin. Having licked it copiously, he
stuck it in the middle of his forehead,
Inquisitive, like a woman, the Carayu
asked him what he did 1t for. The
Somali said he had been seized with a
violent headache and the colored pa
per was a certain cure. The Carayu
at once offered the grain if the Somali
would part with the magic paper. Her
wish was satisfied without delay and
the woman departed happy

the people realize that he is far ahead
of any other candidate and that he is
the best man for the place. He belongs
to Northern Wisconsin and that Is
strongly in his favor. Make up your
mind that Mr. Barnes is the one to vote
for. Look up his record, it will bear
the closest inspection. He is the ablest
lawyer in this part of the state, if he
had not been he would not have been
chosen for the chairman of the railroad
commission few years ago.-Shawano

When Mr. Barnes settled at Rhine
lander the nor thern half of the state

part of the state. His practice has GOV.
cred all fields of litigation. Pioneer
settlements, logging, numbering, mining
farming, manufacturing and water pow
er development are all subjects which
have called for his skill in both advice
and litigation, In the important subject
more prominently than any other law

shown by references to the reports of
the Supreme Court. He has been engag

The bestowal Of knighthoods in the

of King Edward. Every player who
does more than walk on" the stage,
believes in his heart that he should
be so henored, and the very accom-
panists at concerts hardly think them
selves quite out of the running. This
time the king had seemingly taken ref

SO to say, of his own skill The other
new knight of the arts, Mr.. Santley,
the barytone singer, has been so long
in retirement that he seems to belong
rather to the generation of the six

own, though he visited America as

English audience delights and still
