BEARS AS HONEY HUNTERS.
In Their Search They Destroy Apiaries
of Texas Farmers.

The beekeepers of the Wharton sec
ton frequently suffer losses from the
depredations of bears. Various kinds of
devices are used to protect the apiaries
from the invasion of these animals. The
trap gun is one of the most effective
guardians of the beehives The fact.
however, that more or less danger is
incurred to innocent human beings who
might accidentally throw the spring of
a trap gun causes many of the apiarists
to prefer to keep an armed guard over
their beehives.
The C3ney bottoms, situated a short
distance from Wharton, are the natural
habitat of many black bears. The ami
mails seem to have keen scent for
honey, and they make nightly inc ursions
into the adjacent territory in search of
a feast of their favortite sweets. One
bear can play havoc with an an ary in
short order. he knocks the standc over
one by one with his ponderous paws
and quickly obtains an opening into
honey compartments. The average bear
mas a large capacity for honey and one
of the animals has been known to clean
up score of bee stands in a single
night.
Henry Carter. who has large apiary
in the Boiling neighborhood, had an ex-
citing experience with two honey loving
bears recently. He has a pack of bear
dogs which have been used principally
to guard his bees against the attacks of
bruin. The kennel of these dogs is
close to the hives and no bear cared to
venture close to the spot. A neighbor
borrowed the pack to trail down some
bears that had been giving him trouble
and failed to return the dogs at night.
MIR. Garter was awakened about mid
night by noise which came from his
orchard, where his bee colonies were To-
Gated. He quickly OWNED that a bear
raid was on. He grabbed a ritie and
hurried out of the house toward the
apiary.
He took sudden backward jump
when big black bear rose upon it's
hind feet from behind a beehive and
started toward him. Mr.. Carter fired at
the animal at close range. The bullet
wounded bruin and stopped his progress
temporarily. At this moment Mr.. Car
ter noticed another bear running off
from another part of the apiary. He
took a shot at it but must have missed.
as no sign of blood was found after
ward. The first bear which he had
wounded soon regained its feet and got
so close to Mr. Carter as TO strike at
him viciously with one of its paws Mr.
Carter bounded behind an adjacent tree
where he got in two more shots from
his rifle before the bear could reach
him. These bullets put an end to bruin
The bears had completely destroyed his
apiary before he arrived on the scene

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The prairies to the mountains call,
The mountains TO the sea;
From shore TO shore nation keeps
Her martyrs memory.
Though lowly born, the seal of God
Was in that rugged face
Still from the humble NazaFeths come
The sayiors of the race.
With patient heart and vision clear
He wrought through trying days
malice toward none, wlIn love for ALL
Unswerved by blame or praise
And when the morn of Peace broke
through
The battles cloud and din,
He hailed with joy the promised land
-4e might not enter in.
He seemed as set by God apart
The winepress trod alone;
Now stands he forth an uncrowned king,
peoples heart his throne.
Land of our loyal love and hope
o Land he died to save,
Bow down, renew today thy vows
Beside his martyr grave.

The organization at Defiance, Ohio, of
the Chicago Toledo-C Cincinnati Deep Wa
terway association is further evidence
of the fact that deep waterway senti-
ment is running amuck over dry land.
The association wants 100000 for II
survey of routes for proposed canals
from Lake Michigan to Lake Erie, by
way of the Maumee river, and from the
Maumee river to Cincinnati. Deep ca
mails could doubtless be dug on these
routes, but there is a grave doubt as TO
their utility. The much mooted short
cut to Lake Erie across the southern
portion of the state of Michigan is hard
~ worthy of consideration. and as for
the Cincinnati ditch, a project of that
kind is now being promoted by Cleve-
land interests.

The Independent, a newspaper of
Sheffield, England, announces that a
manufacturing firm of that city is now
placing on the market a steel which has
from three to seven times the cutting
power of existing high grade steels, and
which can be hardened in water, oil or
blast, This is an important discovery. The
mechanical trades are the foundation of
ali handiwork, because they produce the
tools which other workmen must have in
order to he producers. Therefore steel
that has from three to seven times the
cutting power of the best steel that has
heretofore been used can be made into
tools that will increase the efficiency of
all workers who use tools.

the invention of life-belt of rubber
which is inflated automatically in emer-

the idea is not entirely new, the gas
belt is notable contrivanee; but
its utility will be comparatively
short-lived, as rubber decays rapidly
when exposed to the air and the acid
carried by smoke and SCOT. A modern
passenger steamer might be in active
service for decades without meeting with

One of the largest dairymen of the
upper peninsula of Michigan is advanc-
ing a novel explanation of the cause of
the prevailing high prices of feed for
cattle and the consequent high prices
of dairy products and meats He says
that nearly every family in the United
States is now eating breakfast foods and
other prepared foods every day, and
these foods are made from cattle feed.
For bran, middlings corn cobs, etc, in
the form of breakfast foods, the people
are paying from five to ten cents a
pound, while we formerly paid one-half
of a cent a pound for the same sub
stances for cattle feed" In other words,
this dairyman says that consumption by
the people of what was formerly mere
cattle feed has driven upward the prices
of grains and made it more expensive
to maintain daires. This is interesting,
aside from the libel on breakfast foods.

Sad news from the city of Mexico
shows that the Cactus Republic is fol-

the United States. In this country there
have been several disastrous demonstra-
tons of the fire danger at moving pic

explodes there is a panic near the ma
chine; then a stampede for the exits. If
the exits are few. narrow or not easily
reached, people are sure TO be hurt by
crushing or trampling, while others may
be suffocated or burned. OF course the
moving picture show should never be
permitted under conditions inviting these
horrors in case of the ignition of the
film. But even in the United States.
where serious lessons have been many
and narrow escapes innumerable, the
risk is frequently run. How could it be
expected that the Mexi:aus. without
warning examples, would be more vigi-
liant than the Americans. with many?
