The more John juniors father

Once more John junior found him
self in the wonderland Of grownups-
so many, many grownups-with mil
lions Of twinkling lights.
Suddenly out Of the babel about
him he heard a voice-the singing
lady's voice. And there she was, more
beautiful than ever, with her pink
cheeks and her shining eyes!
1t was very, very quiet while she
sang, but when she had finished every
body applauded John junior clapped
too. Then out she came again, and this
time she sang about "the sweetest lit

And when, bowling and smiling, she
walked quite out Of sight she tossed
one of her roses straight over to where
John junior sat with his father.

she heard John senior saying, Mighty

his eyes upon her as before, full of
love and unspoken admiration.

Buchner in his Psychic Life Of
Animals speaks of thievish bees
which, in order to save themselves the
trouble of working, attack well
stocked hives In masses, kill the SEN
tinels and the inhabitants, rob the
hives and carry of the provisions.
After repeated enterprises of this de-
scription they acquire taste for rob
berry and violence. They recruit whole
companies, which get more and more
numerous, and finally they form reg
ular colonies Of brigand bees But It
is a still more curious fact that these
brigand bees can be. produced arti-
ficiary by giving working bees a mix
ture Of honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire taste for this
beverage, which has the same dlsas-
trous effect upon them as upon men.
They become Ill disposed and irritable
and lose all desire for work, and final

they attack and plumber the well sup

The widow departed, and half an
hour later Abel was carrying the old
hen home under his arm. The three
days went past, and the widow re-
turned. She had only entered her
house when the farmer appeared with
the hen in a basket. He had her
wrapped In red wooden cloths. She
smelled of camphor and various lini-
ments. Her toes had been trimmed
and creased, and he had applied salve
to her comb. With proud deliberate
ness he removed wrap after wrap and
finally reached the last end and set the
hen down on the floor with:
There she is, Aunt Martha, and jest
as good as she was five years ago. I've
worked over her for three days, and
I'm tellin' you there hain't q hen In

If to corroborate her words the hen
raised her head, swelled out her breast
and tried to give utterance to crow.

not followed up, and no English paper

According to all accounts, the Cam
eron highlanders militia are fine
body of men physically. Not long ago
four of them occupied the least crowd
ed seat in full compartment on a
Scotland railway. Just as the train
was moving off diminutive little cler-
gyman jumped into the compartment
and tried to edge himself in between
two Of the highlanders. Not finding
it very comfortable, he turned to the
one on his right and said: "Sit up,

CONFEDERATE FLAG
is HARD TO find
Local Daughters" Seek One in
Mississippi, but Are
Disappointed
Governor Scours State, but All
P0ssess0rs Refuse to Part
With Them
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

JACKSON, Miss, June 12.-The Al
bert Sidney Johnston chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy of San
Francisco, wrote to Governor e. F..
Noel Of Mississippi, asking for con-
federate battle flag which saw service
during the civil war, and which the
daughters wished to hang as a decora-
tion in their chapter room.
Governor Noel sent to different parts
of the state in an endeavor to find a
flag for the San Francisco women, but
was unsuccessful, as every one who
had one refused to part with it,
claiming that the old flags were a
priceless treasure Governor Noel was
compelled to write to the San Fran
cisco chapter and let them know he
could not secure a flag.
The letter received by Governor Noel
was from Mrs. Virginia Foote Beebe of
San Francisco, granddaughter of Gov
ernor Henry S. Foote, who served from
1892 to 1854, and who resigned his
seat early in 1854 to be succeeded
by Governor Pettus, who was then
president of the senate
Being of good Mississippi stock it
was natural that Mrs. Beebe should
place her request in the hands of the
successor in direct line, though sep
arated by a bridge of nearly 16 years
time, to her illustrious ancestor and

MILITIA MEMBERSHIP
APPROVED BY UNIONS
Sacramento Labor Men Urged
to Join National Guard
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO. June IA meeting
of labor union men for the purpose of
suspending union men who served with
the militia at McCloud against the lum-
bermen, turned out to work a reverse
purpose the other night. Instead of
placing obstacles in the way of union
men joining the militia, the idea of
encouraging them to become soldiers
was given root. The federated trades
council took up the matter and. in
stead of sanctioning the suspension of
several truckmen under investiga tion
placed its approval upon their action.
The discussion has given rise to
new feeling toward the national guard
at least in Sacramento. The reasoning
is that instead of the national guard
capturing union labor in times of trou-
BILE. union labor should capture the ma
ttonal guard by giving aid to the
latter.
The question came up when the
truckmen's union referred the matter
of the suspension of several of the
members for obeying military orders
to the federated trades council.
