An Ingenious Rest Cure.

Some managers crave responsible

away from them and their spirits
drop and they lose. their stamina.
The Office manager of a vigorous
wholesale house was once given a
months vacation, supposedly to re-
fresh his mind and get his thoughts
on other lines. He left a hale.
hearty and vitality sturdy man. He
was supposed to be basking in the
sunshine of mountain lake, taking
life easy, far away from the toll and
care of the greedy mart. In reality
he was eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Honey Crop $50, 600. 900 A Year

For a body of workers of which
so little is seen by the public the
bees of the Unittd States are a high
ly desirable lot of producers, the
value Of their yearly store of honey
being estimated by the United States
Bureau of Entomology at $20,OOO,-
600. Nor does that fix the limit of
their usefulness, for their services in
fertilizing the blossoms of fruit trees
and plants are said to be worth even
more than their honey.
1t is unfortunate that this impor-
tant non-trust industry should be sub
Jected to regulation, but on account
OF the recent development of con-
gious diseases among bees it is recon-
mended that agriculture be not popu-
larized, but rather that it be con-
nned to specialists having a sufficient
financial stake in the business to in
sure proper attention to the healt.l
OF the bees.-New York Mail.

widows And Matrimony.

Passing from these higher emo
lions OF the soul, there remain many
and numerous practical reasons for
marrying widow. In the first place
she knows man, all his little weak
nesses and foibles. She makes allow
ances for them, and even INDUCES the
poor fellow in his more harmless fol-
lies, just as the experienced trainer
from time to time gives tho colt the
rein. There is wisdom in this
that the young thing just graduated
from an unbroken course of ice
cream, soda water and theater par
ties might we'll desire to possess; it
would save many a rude shock in be-
ginning the stern realities of mar
ried existence. Another thing, she
can cook. No. may have lived to
eat the ffaky biscuit and unimpeach-
able pastry of her making, but it is
doubtful whether he was ever able
to enjoy them. BY the time she had
mastered the art his indigestion had
become irreparably damaged; he
could only look and long and re-
turn to dry toast and tea. In a thou
sand little ways the second husband
was the beneficiary and could truth
fully acknowledge that dear John S
loss was his own great gain. All
of the testimony, however, is not of
this character. Marriage is a lot
terry at best, and one may draw q
blank in picking a widow just as
easily as through the choice of an
untried mate.-Washingto Post.

a mass of technicalities, Of which
his lawyer took every advantage.
Before the final argument and hand

client was forced to take a journey

result Of the trial, but told him to
so word his telegram that the ad-

The result was the awarding OF a
verdict IN favor of the litigant in

Sawed Way To Freedom.

Christiansburg.-A wholesale JAN
delivery took place here when three
prisoners made good their escape by
saving their way out OF Jail with
instruments evidently furnished
them by friends on the outside.
CHARLES Reimer, alias Harry Hoff-
man. alias Harry Freelan, the mu-
sical genius, who claims to be a Ger
man count and who was serving a
term for horse stealing, was one OF
the convicts to escape. A peniten-
tlary sentence Is now hanging over
the head of Freelan at Bloomfield,
MO-, where he IS also wanted for
horse stealing. Marshall Hoffman,
an ex-convfct, who was under iudict-
ment for forgery, also escaped, this
being his third escape from jail here
In three years. The man made his
escape two months ago, but return
ed Saturday night and surrendered.
Charles Furrow, a vagrant, was the
third man to take French leave.
HeiEer. or Hoffman, or Freelan, has
created a sensation since his incar-
ceration In jail by organizing a VIC
lin class OF girls. who visit him In
his cell at the jail every day to re-
ceive his instructions. The man has
been lionized by society since before
his arrest Almost daily baskets of
flowers are sent to him by his wom-
en- friends The man sings in a
church choir every Sunday, attend
ing services under the espionage of
an officer. He has also been invited
to many social gatherings since he
has been III Jail, and several of them
he has attended, accompanied by a
guard. Reimer is said to have done
the same social stunt in Missouri
and other places before coming to
Virginia. He is handsome and Of
good address.

A Leading Question

A young English suffragette tells
of an incident that happened at a
meeting in the Scottish Highlands.
Speeches had been made to a
large crowd. Questions had been
replied to amid applause. Imbecile
young men making remarks about,
minding babies and mending socks
had been silenced. Then, Just as
there was a temporary lull before the
putting Of the resolution, a great
bucolic Scotch voice from the back
of the crowd rasped slowly in with
lethe inquiry, obviously the result of
prolonged rumination:
Wha made a mess of Adam?'"
