er. He believed we ought to spread
out more; that maybe his stick was
too crooked, or mine was.
SO, we both went back to our origi-
nal starting places and whitfield off
all the crooked side branches of our
marking sticks, and then I took my.
stick as far away from Bill as 1 could
make him hear and found geranium
bee. / sighted its flight and started
from there.
THAT time we had better luck,
and, though we had to look around
pretty closely for while after we
met, the tree was located, but not
disturbed. Bill explained that his
only object was to locate the tree and
hold off taking the honey until his
Paw got ready to go to town again
with some of his own.
Bees are funny little things
said Bill, as we walked through the
woods to the roadside, that Is, If you
don't understand them. I'll bet I un-
derstand bees as we'll as Paw does,
but wouldn't let him hear me say
that for anything. He'd larrup me
if he heard. He thinks he's the only
person knows about bees, and that T
don't know anything about anything.
But it's funny, all the same, I'm the
only one he will allow to have any
thing to do with his bees. Why, I
make more money twice over for
finding swarms than all the rest Of
them put together. And every time
they swarm hanging from a limb I
am always the one that has to go up
and shake them down easy while he
holds the hive under them for them
to fall in
by this time we had reached the
road. and as it was getting late we
| decided to go our separate ways. But
before parting, Bill took time to say:
You come over to the farm some day
soon, and I'll show you and tell you
a whole lot more about bees. And,
say. don't you tell anybody, but
I'm saw ng up my money for a Span.

After we had proceeded some dis

around, noticing particularly some

whereupon it rose, lowered for an in

That ones no good said Bill.
I know where it's going. I got ten
pounds of honey from its tree the
other day, and sent it into town with
Paws. But you don't get as much
for wild honey as you do for the tame
kind. It's more apt to be dirty, be-
| cause the wild bees have to hive
wherever they can, and tame bees
have their homes built and cleaned
for them

Indifference, while the cruel and ig-

The causes of the disfavor in which
he was held were several; first, he
was exceedingly small for his age,

motionless eyes. that seldom or never

Cumberland Ely and Nevada ConsoI-
dated Claim Much Interest, Says
Arrival From Pennsylvania.

II. S. Godcharles, well known in
mining circles of the west as an ex-
pert accountant, was among arrivals
in Ely City last evening, registering
at the Steptoe. Mr.. Godcharles came
from Milton, Pa, where he was on
a visit to his home from Arizona and
dropped into this district to verify
the highly enthusiastic reports which
are current throughout the country
concerning it. he may conclude to
remain.
Mr.. Godcharles has recently been
in New York and in the Pennsylvania
steel aad iron districts. He states
that there is lack of enthusiasm as to
the future among the steel and iron
producers and that they are inclined
to pessimistic views. Throughout
the east business is dull Aside from
a few of the high class specialties
among the industrials there is no
bona fide movement among these
stocks. The coppers have the best of
1t among the mining issues. Cum
berland Ely and Nevada Consolidat-
ed are claiming much attention
among the coppers and in the wealth.
Ter communities of Pennsylvania are
much sought and highly priced as ex-
cellent investment securities.
