BEE FARM ON HIS ROOF
The Hives Yield a Large Amount of
 Honey to Their Owner.

f7OneY 10 nGlT OWnGT.
 Reading, Pa., has "bee farm, so sit uated that 90 per cent of the people in that part of the town even do not know of it's presence. To the busy bees all roads seem to lead to this place, for they can fly 50 feet up in the air and still be able to reach their home, without com in contact with humanity. At the foot of Neversink mountain, in the north western section of the city, lives Julius Wagner. On the roof of his house are many bee hives. Under the great window sills are number of holes leading toa garret. room, where there are many more hives and where millions of busy little workers come and go day by day, bringing each time little honey from some clover field. some tree that IS in bloom or from other sources, thus helping Julius Wagner to conduct the most successful and novel apiary in Berks county.
 MT. Wagner made his start in Read ing in 1867 with one hive, according to the Philadelphia Record. To this he added hive after hive from year to year, until today he has nearly two score hives in the little garret room and on the roof and as many more out in the country on the premises of friends.
 MT. Wagner says the swarming of bees is unnecessary if the bee keeper properly cares for them. You must keep these busiest of little laborers supplied with lots of work. The moment they have nothing to do and their little home like cells are filled with honey they get lazy and swarming will follow. If you remove their honey when the combs are just about filled they will immediately go to work and refill them and not think of swarming.
 MT. Wagner's little workers generally keep busy for about forty-One days, when their tiny wings get tired and they gradually die off.
 MT. Wagner, by careful breeding of the Italian bees, has been successful in acquiring perfect queens. He has had l colonies that produced in one season as much as three hundred pounds of honey.

Poor Animal

"Little boy" asked the well-meaning reformer, ''is that your mamma over wonder with the beautiful set of furs ?"
 "Yes. sir," answered the bright lad.
 "Well, do you know what poor animal it is that had to suffer in order that your mamma might have the furs with which she adorns herself so proudly?"
 'Yes, sir-my papa. ."-Chicago Even ing Post.

NEW HAVEN ROAD PLAN
West Chester Purchase Means Addi-
 tional New England Line.

West Chester Purchase Means Addi-
 tionaI New England Line.
 The acquisition by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com pany of new trolley interests in West Chester county, New York, together with it's plan of extending it's New York and West Chester line northward in that county, are believed in railroad circles to forecast an important ultimate railroad plan. By it's New York & West Chester line through the Bronx the New Haven will ere long acquire by subway a new entrance into New York ness from the Grand Central terminal.
 On the other hand, from the upper end of it's West Chester extension only small gap will remain to be spanned to connect with the New Haven system at or not far from Brewsters station. With that connection made along with its new entrance into New York, the New Haven company would have an additional line in New England which can be used for freight and to a much less extent passenger business and what is of greater importance, a close con- nection with it's Poughkeepsie bridge system and its Ontario and Western line for western and coal business. This, It is believed, is one of the most significant features of the New Hayen's terminal work at New York and its West Chester extension Hartford COurant.

The Popular Woman

The popular woman usually enjoys a brief but very pleasant hold on general favoritism, unless she is endowed with a phenomenal supply of tact.
 The most reliable form of feminine popularity, however, lies in maintaining a gentle, pleasant and refined personality and tender consideration of the feelings of others upon ,.., occasions, and wIse use of speech.

EXPECT GREAT CROWDS
Estimated That 500 Educators Will AT
tend Convention in Racine

Between 700 and 800 public school
educators who are members of the
Southern Wisconsin Teachers Associa-
ton, are expected to be in Racine on
Friday and Saturday to attend the
annual convention of the association.
Sessions of the convention will be
held in the mornings, afternoons and
evenings. Prominent educators, men in
charge of colleges and normal schools
in Wisconsin and Illinois will be pres
Hen5 at the meetings and will deliver ad-
dresses. The teachers will come to
Racine not to be entertained at ban
quets, automobile rides and theater
parties, but to hear addresses and dis
cussions which will be of value to them
in their work
If a. program of entertainment had
been mapped out the Racine teachers
would have been compelled to donate a
large amount and it was decided some
years ago that there should not be any
entertainment at these conventions
With between 700 and 800 visitors
in the city all hotels will be crowded to
their capacity and hundreds could not
obtain rooms in the hotels. A commit
tee consisting Of Professors Smith, Nc
Collins and Hubbard have called on the
residents of Racine to take into their
homes some Of the teachers. The Wis
itors will pay for their board and lodg-
ing while in Racine. The committee
found no difficulty in securing a. long
list of people who were ready to act
as hosts to the teachers who will be
in Racine next week.

The matter Of opening Elizabeth
street, which is now blocked by the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Rail
way Company, was referred to com
/ mittee composed Of the aldermen of
the ward with the mayor and city at
/ torIey added
| There was long discussion in regard
to the flushing Of a private sewer at
which was finally referred to the com
mittee on streets and alleys.
The mayor and the city attorney
brought in a report in regard to con-
ference with the officials of the rail
way company in regard to reforms de-
manded and while the report showed
that nothing nad as yet been accom-
plished there is some reason to believe
that the company will eventually come
to the terms Of the city. It was re-
ported that the company was consider
ing plan of protecting crossings with
electric bells, but this brought storm
of protest from the people living in
the neighborhood of the crossings. The
company has also consented to take
up the question Of lowering the grade
of the tracks Of the western division
and the company's engineer will be
sent to Kenosha to confer with the
engineer of the city in regard to the
matter and report will be rendered
to the Council at the next meeting
Alderman Swift made very good sug
gestion in this regard when he request
ed that the company be asked to con
slider plan for building viaduct at
, the Main street crossing This is one
of the most dangerous crossings in the
city and it is a great nuisance to the
travelling public. The matter will be
taken up with the company later and an
effort made to have the plan carried
out.
The action of the Commission in
opening Linden street together with
awards of benefits and damages was
confirmed by the Council by unani-
nous vote.
BY the time these little things had
been disposed of together with the
oratory attending them the members Of
the Council were SO completely worn
out that they adjourned without taking
up the ordinance to provide switch
track to the Jacobs warehouse. This
matter will be taken up at the next
meeting Of the Council.

LIBRARY NOTES
New Books, Picture Collection, Costume
Pictures, Etc.

Many new books are being constantly
added to Simmons Library, covering as
far as possible, all subjects that may
prove Of interest or benft to the people
Of Kenosha. IF material on a given
subject seems to be lacking, patrons are
urged to make this known to the Ii
brarian, as the aim of the library is to
meet the wishes and provide desired
reading for all.
Knights american Mechanical Die
tionary, in 4 vols. has just been pur-
chased, as we'll as a number of books
on mechanical subjects, which should
prove very useful to those interested
in these subjects.
AS there has always been quite a
demand for subjects, such as after din
lner speeches, toasts, fortune telling, ven
triloquism, etc., an effort has been made
to meet them, and a number of books
have just been added upon these and
allied subjects.
Photography has also been a subject
much sought after and new illustrated
book on "Color Photography" has just
been placed upon the shelves. Also,
the little magazine called "Photo Mini
allure" can now be found at the IL
brary and ought to appeal to every one
interested in the subject. Each num-
Der is a complete monograph on some
branch, as, Photographic Post Cards, -
Development (gaslight) Papers, etc.
One of the most recent undertakings
at the library is the gathering together
Of a picture collection, which is begin
ming to assume considerable proportions
already, and is at the service Of ALL
It consists of colored pictures of all
kinds of birds, insects, animals, flowers,
minerals, ETC., as well as copies Of the
paintings of great artists, portraits of
prominent people, etc. 1000 pictures,
| illustrating Greek and Roman Sculpture,
| Italian art and art of the Netherlands
and Germany, have been ordered and
will make continuous history Of art,
in pictures.
| Besides the above, a collection of
what is called ssCostume Pictures has
been started, to meet requests we are
very frequently receiving for fancy
dress parties, hallow zen parties, cos
tunes of the different nations and diff
ferent periods of each nation, Shakes
peare costumes, ETC., etc. Any assist
ance that could be given the library
| in making this collection would be very
acceptable, especiallys in colored illus
trations, and everyone is urged to help,
if possible, in furnishing small pictures
which could be used in this way.

GLEE CLUB PLEASES
Singers From Lawrence University En-
terrain Large Crowd at the Rhode
(From Tuesdays Daily

The Lawrence Glee Club came to
town Monday in a, special car with
blue and white pennants flying. In
the concert last night the club amply
fulfilled the predictions that had been
made for it. The humorous element in
the program and the scenes affording a
glimpse into college life, made pleas
ing contrast of the more difficult Sc
lections, which were, however, rendered
with a dash and harmony, showing
considerable training. The audience
which comfortably filed the Opera
House was highly appreciative and
applause was liberal. The reading and
whistling of st. John were thoroughly
enjoyed. Mr.. Harper, the director of
the club, duplicated the record he made
here last year by failing to appear on
the program, thus disappointing those
who had come expecting to hear him.

An examination into the manner in
which the City Councils have met the
problem of retiring the general bonds
of the city, shows that there is no war
lrant that future Councils would devise
a scheme for the retirement Of water
bonds. Under the provisions of the
Wisconsin state law governing the is
sue Of bonds by municipalities, the city
lof Kenosha should have levied each
year since the issue of the refunding
bonds, one twentieth of the amount of
| the principal. The bonds have now
run tor ten years and there should be
a sinking fund at this time of $4,000.
Ii the same policy is followed in the
future as has been in the past ten years
not one cent will be available for the
payment Of any part of the principal
Of these bonds when it becomes due.
The committee believes that the
city should avoid a similar condition in
handling the bonds of the Kenosha City
Water Company.
If the city ceases to levy tax for
the payment of the hydrant rental and
the surplus revenue Of the Water Com
pany is diverted to other uses, the city
will be obliged to issue bonds from
time to time as new equipment is de-
manded for the promotion of the bust
ness of the company, and the water
mains extended.
"There can of course be no assurance
that future issues of bonds can
be placed at even as advantageous
figures as the ones now outstanding.
1--WE find that the change Of bond
issue to a serial issue bearing four and
a half per cent interest would save the
city less than $500 annually and after
considering the matter with all of
these conditions attached, we can not
see that the city would be materially
benefited by the change and we would
therefore recommend that nothing be
done toward the refunding of these
bonds at this time. +"

the wedding couple and they were given
great reception by members of the
