Farmer Stebbins pushed his chair
back from the breakfast able. Then
giving his overaIls an extra hitch, ana

continued: And what's more, wife, In
this fast age you've got to use your
wits. Deacon Jones is goin' to sell his
farm and run a milk route in the city,
and it's up to me to get hold OF some
of his bees. I awfully hate to drive
a bargain with Jones, for he has been
a pretty good neighbor and loaned me
everything I asked for, but business is
business"
Steobens kept his eye on Jones' pre-
misses until he saw his neighbor start
uptown with his rig, and then he went
across the way and IN a very polite
manner asked Mrs. Jones II he could
just step back and look at her grapes
to see how they were coming along.
Mrs. Jones agreed THAI the season had
been little slow; but as she was not
slow herself. she slipped up to the gar
ret and peeked from the upper window.
What she saw convinced her that Steb-

When Jones returned he was in
formed of his neighbours visit, and upon
going to the hives and making a close
examination, he found that each con-
tanning the choice Italian bees had been
marked with a cross. The day had
been pleasant, and the bees had come
out, so that their characteristics could
be easily noted.
The next day II rafned, but Stebbins
came over with neighbor Brown re-
marking that he was ready to take his
chances in selecting half OF the hives.
Stebbins little suspected that Jones had
posted Brown, ana had also erased the
cross marks and had placed them on
the hives containing hybrid bees. The
result was that Brown got off with
the good bees and Stebbins took the
bad ones.
The next day Stebbins and his wife
went out to inspect the hives. Great
trick 1 played" remarked Stebbins.
You see, went over and marked the
hives containing the Italian bees" He
confidently approached hive with
smile. These fellows are miId tenn

dangerous to handle.
Stebbins reached down, but drew his
hand back suddenly, simultaneously
slappIng his collar with the other hand.
The situation was puzzling. ssa

Then he moved toward the next hive.

apron over her head. The bees had
decided to do some investigating them

Jones and Brown were not surprised
the next Saturday night uptown when
they heard IT rumored that Stebbins

The Canadian parliament at its pres
ent session most probably will ratify a
tariff treaty with France, which will place
the Canadian intermediate tariff in eff
feet. This treaty, winch already has
been ratified by France, gives Canada
many advantages in France which the
United States cannot obtain. Reciprocal
ly, Canada gives France reductions which
the United States may not hope for. This.
on it's face, constitutes discrimination
against the United States by both France
and Canada. Will Mr.. Taft consider it
undue discrimination? And If Cana
da's action is considered undue" will re-
prisals be directed only against France
and Canada, or against England as we'll?
These are. some of the questions which
the president must decide before March
