Little Mishap to an Automobile Wag-

Not so many things happen to auto
mobiles now as once did, but eveI so
not all mishaps are as easily and
quickly adjusted as was this one.
Going around corner the drive
chain on one side of an automobile
delivery wagon came off the rear
sCrGcket, mishap which the driver
almost instantly discovered. When
the wagon stopped the man with the
driver picked up pair Of gloves and
jumped off and ran around to the
wheel from which the chain had drop
ped.
He lifted up the chain and set two
or three links of it over as many teeth
CT the froward part of the sprocket
wheel, and holding the chain there he
called to the driver;
"Back her"
And the driver backed gently, the
man holding the chain, and in a mo-
ment the chain clicked back all right
on the sprocket wheel.
"rhat sounds good to muh,' said
the man, and then he ran around and
climbed to his place on the wagon
seat again, and the next moment the
outfit was again On it's way.

BEES MASTER OF THE ROAD.
Farmers Mishap That Stopped Travel
on French Highway.

VII IilSu"dys
A curious incident is reported from
st. Prieure, near Chambery,~ where
two colonies Of bees in a stata
of instruction have routed ey-
erybody from the neighborhood and
are still masters of the road.
The cure of neighboring place,
accompanied by a farmer, came to
take possession of two beehives,
which the farmer loaded on a cart
drawn by two oxen. Halfway home
one of the hives fell off the cart and
was broken up. The bees on being
liberated attacked the farmer with
fury and stung him so violently that
the poor man tainted and fell on tho
road. The cure came to his rescue,
but in his hurry upset the other hive,
from which the bees also escaped and
attacked him in turn.
Workmen from the fields round
about heard the cries and rescued
both men, who had to be carried to a
house and attended by a doctor.
Meanwhile the bees attacked the OK
en- and stung them so fercely that
the two beasts started on a mad race
down the road and were finally STOP
ped by woman, who in turn was
surrounded not only by the bees of
the first two hives but apparently by
all the bees in the neighborhood, and
had herself to be rescued by the vii
