This speech had to be revised in

he knew would take up much of his
morning. The senator's speech was
"The South of the Future" which he
would deliver when recognized by the
president Of the senate In connection
with the naval base bill, that officer
having agreed to recognize Langdon al
$3.50, at which time the report of the
naval affairs committee would be re-

Equally as mercenary as "the boss Of

Stevens ate heartily to strengthen

Waving away the hotel waiter who

THE HONEYBIRD.

IN the African jungle dwells pretty
little bird that lives on honey.
The saccharine dainty is there
i found in the hollows Of trees and
under the bark, where what is known
ss the carpenter bee bores and depos-
as his extract from the buds and
blossoms of the tropical forest.
The bird is called the "honeybird"
nacouse IT is a sure guide TO the de-
nosits of the delicacy. The bird dis
likes the laborious task Of pecking its
way through the bark to reach the
honey. and so, wise in the ways of
men, 1t procures help. 1t locates a
nest of honey, then flies about until 1t
sees some natives or hunters, to whom
n shows itself. They know the honey
bird and know that it will lead them
10 the treasure store. Following the
bird which fits just In advance, they
reach the cache of dripping sweetness
and readily lay 1t open with hatchets
or knives. Taking what they want,
there is always enough left clinging
10 the tree and easily accessible to sat
isfy the appetite Of the clever little
