Exciting Time with Bundle.
bees,

s j. oots, a prominent farmer of
near Slater is recovering from an
attack by bumblebees that came
near causing him to lose his life.
While cutting grass recently with
a mower on his farm he ran across
bumblebees' nest and decided to
burn them out. While doing so he
stirred up another nest near by
and had unknowingly sluatted
down upon it. When he realized
that he was besieged by hundreds
of bees-the nest was large one
he got up and started to run and
as he did so number of them set
tied on his face and neck and their
united attack and stings felled him
helpless to the ground. His sons
working nearby saw his predica-
ment and came to his rescue. They
literally tore his shirt off his back
andn killed the bumblebees which
had crawled inside his pants and
shirt as quickly as possible and
took Mr.. Oots home. He showed
us some of the scars remaining on
his arms and neck, which were nu-
merous. He estimates that he was
stung possibly 500 times. Mr..
oots says it wasn't fair fight at
all. AS honey bees sting only once
he thinks bumblebees ought not to
be allowed to sting oftener.

charter members now living, n me-
ly. Mrs, Elizabeth Wiilhite, Mrs. M

justly be prowd. During the civil

ly,s without interference, Rev. Jam 6
was pastor during this period"
After the reading of the inter
esting historical sketch by the pas
to-, Prof. I. N. Evrard made very
able and interesting talk, after
which the large assemblagc was
dismissed.
In addition to the above histori-
cal facts, the editor gathered the
following interesting bits of in
| formation:
The four living charter members
were all present and OF course The
service was a memorable one to
them. Mrs. M. c. Freet, of near
Slater is now 81 years old. She
has been member of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church 81 years
and, Of Mt. Horeb SO years. She
looks hale and hearty still.
w. Z. Ford, of Slater, said his
father David Ford, had charge oi
building the church, getting all OF
the lumber from St. Louis. He was
assisted by Elijah Ancell, Slater
Adam Swisher, of Marshall; J. B
Ford of Henrietta Texas, and some
who have passed away. His moth
er also did the cooking for the
men while the church was being
buik.
Mrs. w. E. Ford, the first or.
ganist of Mt. Horeb in 1879, pre-,
sided at the organ in an able man
ner- Sunday .-..
Prof. w. H. Morrison who taugh
music in the church 81 years age
lead the singing.
Rev. 2. It. Orr, the prescnt prs
tor, has greatly built up the church
during the two years of his minis
try. Owing 20 many removals il
had become missionary church
and is now again self-suppo"tinR

the woman Is that she threw away
certain happiness for short-lived
dream, discarded the man who real
~ loved her for the Scoundrel who
had no right even to look at her.
Bitter indeed must be her thoughts
might have been and learns that
the man she loved ana trusted, the
man for whom she broke her pledge
to another, has deceived her and
now refuses even to see her.
But there may be II chance for
her yet. Last Sunday the people
sitting under the shade of the alge-
robas at the Seaside and watching
the bathers and surf-riders noticed
a man sitting quietly by himself on
q bench. Suddenly little boy,
playing alone Ia the sand, caught
sight of him and with glad cry
ian to him, threw his baby arms
around the mans neck, aud covered
his face with kisses.
The man gasped, then strained the
boy to him and kissed him eagerly.
The man was the deserted lover, the
bridegroom that was to he; the lit
tie boy YVES the child of the suppos-
ed wife of Raymond W Baker. The
child recognized in the man friend
of long standing, Il friend whom he
loved and trusted. And he was too
young To realize what had happened,
to know that this man who was to
have been his new papa had been
displaced by the suave, welldressed
man who had married his mother a
few weeks before, Doubtless he had
been wondering In his baby mind
why they did not go to see the friend
whom his mother had told him they
were coming to Honolulu to live with
always.
Now the little boy once more Is
fatherless, and his mother is worse
than a widow; she is a deceived and
forsaken woman whose husband Is
probably not her husband. though
she did not know 1t until yesterday.
What the outcome will he no one
knows. But there have been other
incidents before this when little
child has brought together an es-
tranged couple, Perhaps there may
yet be happiness ahead for Eva NJ.
Wallace.
As to Raymond Az. Baker, he sits
in his prison cell and says nothing.
But the impression among the Fed
eral officials is that he will confess
and take his medicine as the best
and only way out of the mess he is
in. He has not communicated with
his father, and If the father really
has cast him off, there probably
