west press recently about the work OF
Charles B Heseltine, of Spokane,
who has established whai is beIiev-
ed to be a fraudulent get rich

poor people were touched for sums
varying from few dollars to several
thousands. Eesseltin' has been ar

woman is alleged to have been
separated from $4,000, insurance
money received upon the death of
her husband and Hesseltine and his

In commenting on Mr.. Alwin's meth.

The use of two pieces of tarred paper
In place of one will facilitate very ma

where the top piece overaps the bot
tom one, wind and water would beat
in; and If the hive is tipped a little
sidewise the water would run down
between the packing Perhaps you
overCame this in some way
1T is a little surprise to us that You
secured as good results after feeding
in such cold weather, even though the
strip was given them hot. 1t would
have been our opinion that this hot
strip would have so stirred mp the col
ony that bad results would have fol,
lowed. At all events, we would say
that beginners should be cautioned;
for unless hives are well packed, and
colonies very strong, such feeding
would be a very doubtful proceeding
.. I'm a general way we observe that,
where your hives were packed with
newspapers under tarred paper, you
not only secured excellent results in
winter, but increased materially the
amount of honey. We see no reason
why hives well papered under caps
should not winter their colonies just
as well as those having a wooden cap
over them. 1t was demonstrated last
winter in our own yard, and reports
went to prove it. that a mere paper
cap without packing under it is hardly
sufficient protection for outdoor-win.

hardly be considered on account of

SQUIRREL VICTIM
OF HIGH Living
POACHED ONCE TOO OFTEN ON
THE FOOD FOR CANADIAN
GEESE.
The Feathered Tribe Caught the Agile
Fence Runner When Overfed and
Drowned Him in a Pond.

NEW YORK, June Jack, big
gray squirrel, who, with his mate
Jill, inhabited the island in the duck
Enclosure in the Bronx Park Zoo, sac
rificed his life to his love of high
living. 1t was this way: Jack and Ji!i
long ago discovered that by crossing
over the ten-foot-wide stream of water
which separates the island from the
mainland they could reach a trough
filled with corn, which was replen-
ished daily for the ducks and geese
that inhabt the pond and island. A
wire fence dividing the Enclosure used
by the mallard ducks from that en-
ioyed by the Canada geese offered
means of communication between the
island and the corn trough, and Jack
and Jill long ago became expert in
running along the top of this ticklish
pathway.
Daily the two squirrels have made
pilgrimages to the corn trough, eaten
to repletion and then returned to the
island. The ducks and geese always
swan close to the fence, flapping their
wings and uttering hoarse cries of
rage, but were never able to catch the
nimble squirrels. Little by little, how
ever Jack lost his native agility as he
partook of more and more of the rich
food, and today when he started back
from a particularly heavy feast he
waddled slowly along the top of the
fence instead of hopping nimbly along,
as had been his wont.
One of the mallards saw him and
realized that he was too heavy and too
well fed to move hurriedly. The
duck sounded a cry which brought al
of its mates, and they attacked Jack
viciously. The squirrel tried to hurry
but at last was pushed off the fence
and fell into the pond.
In an instant he was surrounded by
big Canada geese. Persons on shore
saw him fight desperately for life
but finally he was forced under the
water. The geese churned the pond
into foam and when they swan ma
jestically away there was nothing tt
be seen of Jack.
Jill, who ran back and forth on the
shore of the island while Jack was
fighting for his life, retired to a tree
after the tragedy and has not beer
seen since.

COUNTED BY
BILLIONS

NEW YORK, June IA requssi-
ton for $l,5OO,0OO to lengthen station
platforms in the subway has been
sent to the board of estimate by the
public service commission. Plans for
the extensions had already been
agreed upon between the commission
and the interborough, and the work
is about to begin. The approval of
the plans and the appropriation Of the
money are regarded as a mere form

The lengthening Of the platforms in
Manhattan will cost, according to the
estimate, $1,15O,0OO; the Brooklyn eX-
tensions S35O,0OO
In its letter the commission says the
increase in the length Of platforms will
increase capacity % per cent. At pres
ent only eight-car expresses and five
car locals can be run. The length
ened stations will accommodate ten-car
expresses and six-car locals.

"The total number of passengers car
ried in the subway in 1905 was 49,
