Thirsty and Disqusted,

On the line of the Missouri Pacific
railway, just over in Oklahoma from
Coffeyville, Kan, is a small place call
ed Nowatta. A state law in Kansas
prohibits the carrying by the railroads
of public drinking cups on trains. Not
long ago a farmer from Iowa, on Il
Missouri Pacific train in Kansas near
Coffeyville, wanted a drink of water
He did not know about the law. Going
to the water cooler, he began looking
for the cup. When he failed to find
1t he sought the chair car porter, q
negro, and asked for it,
Law doan' low no public cups on
desc heah trains" said the porter.
The Iowan was deeply disgusted. He
returned to his seat and grumbled until
the train crossed the Oklahoma Kan
Bas line. Shortly after that the negro
porter stuck his head in the door.
"Nowattaw he called.
That increased the Iowan's disgust.
''In Kansas they don't have no drink
In cups" he said to the man in the
next seat, "an' In Oklahoma no water
on trains. DANCED If l don't stay in

Food for Winter,

No colony should be considered
safe unless 1t has stored in the combs
at least 25 pounds of honey or syrup
and sealed most OF 1t over. The ar
rangement Of this food Is matter of
some Importance. for II the bees are
crowded upon a few frames and fed
literally they will fill every available
cell with syrup, and then they will be
compelled to cluster during the win
ter upon sealed combs instead Of
upon empty cells, as Is more natural,
and having stores above and around.
With the movable comb hive the ar
rangement Of the combs for winter Ia,
in the hands Of good bee-keeper, a
simple matter; but If feeding Is con-
tinued up to the middle of September,
and the proper amount of food is then
given, the bees will arrange 1t around
the brood, which gradually diminishes
by the bees Matching, accessible for
their comfort and convenience. II the
combs are arranged by the bee-keep-
er, the center ones should have seal
ed stores about half way down. the
amount of stores increasing to the
outside of the brood nest. During the
winter bees cluster below quite por-
ton Of the stores, therefore by keep
ing the honey warm, and of easy ac-
cess the most compact form and nor
NAL cluster can be maintained.

and, thinking perhaps his voice might

about the room setting things in order
for the night

to the kitchen below, where the old
cook, Aunt Phyllis, was awaiting her.

An expert may open a hive with
out smoke and without danger, and
may handle the combs and return
them to the hive without getting a
single sting by being quiet, steady and
fearless. 1t Is a fact that the fear
less apiarist may often be entirely
unharmed while others a rod away
may be stung by the very bees which
his manipulations anger. His quiet,
determined demeanor is his safeguard,
while the uninitiated strikes at the
angry bee and dances till he is stung
When you wish to open hive of bees,
II you wish to be perfectly safe arm
yourself with smoker cover your
head with veil and step boldly to the
front Of the hive; send smoke through
the opening for half minute, then
stop, and repeat the operation after
another half minute, or until they
make a steady hum, which will show
that they have given up the desire to
fight. Then open the hive, smoke
again gently, and you may lift the
combs one after another.

Words of Strenath.

There are three lessons 1 would write,
Three words as with burning pen,
In tracing of eternal light
Upon the hearts OF men.
Have hope! Though clouds environ now
And Gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow.
No night but has its morn.
Have faith where'er thy bark be driv.
The calm's disport, the tempests mIrth--
Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,
The Inhabitants of earth.
Have love! Not love alone for me,
But man as man thy brother call
And scatter like the circlng sun
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul
Hope. faith and love-and thou shalt
find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else were blind

The Brain Is vsrv AJsptabl..

Each vocation makes a different call
upon the brain and develops faculties
and qualities peculiar to itself, so that
as the various professions, trades and
specialties multiply the brain takes on
new adaptive qualities, thus giving
greater variety and strength to civ
ilization as a mass, says Orison SWEET
Marden in Success Magazine.
When the world was young the
brain of man was very primitive, be-
cause the demand upon it was largely
for self protection and the acquisition
of food, which called only for the de-
velopment of its lower, its animal
part. AS civilization advanced, how
ever, there was higher call upon the
brain and a more varied develop
ment until today, in the highest civ
llization, 1t has become exceedingly
complex.

A Persistent Office Seeker.

Governor Stanley Of Kansas was
once so pestered by office seekers that
he found It necessary publicly to make
the statement that in view of the ex-
ceedingly numerous applications for
office he had received through the
mails he should be unable to give any
attention to them, much less afford
any hope Of success to the various ap-
plicants.
In the course Of few days after
making the statement in question the
governor received the following note:
"My Dear Governor-I understand
that you have said that you were GO
ing to take week off to destroy the
pile Of letters asking for jobs. II ev-
erything else is gone, then, my dear
governor, should like the job Of tear
Ing up the letters"

WELLMAN SILENT.
Evidently Deciding Whether
to Continue Trip.
OLD RECORD Is SMASHED.
Weather officials of Opinion That Big
Balloon Has Been Blown Out of
Course and That May Explain
Absence Of Messages.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-An explana-
ton of the failure of the powerful
shore stations and incoming and out
going steamers to gather wireless It'd
ing of the progress of the dirigible
balloon America since Sunday is Of
fered by officials of the weather bu-
reau. They are of the opinion that
Mr.. Wellman's airship has been blown
out of the North Atlantic steamship
lane, the course which 1t had been the
intention Of Mr. Wellman to follow.
Wellman said just before he sailed
that he would start back for Atlantic
City the moment that his men decid-
ed that the voyage to Europe was i'm
practicable. Leroy Chamberlain, Wal
ter Wellman's son-in-law, says:
80 far as we can make out by study
of the maps and charts which we
have the America has reached a point
where 1t can be decided whether there
Is a chance to reach Europe. 1t Is al
most safe to say that this decision Is
being reached now or will be reached
within the next few hours by the men
aboard the America"
Wellman asked President Salus of
the Atlantic City syndicate that is
backing the adventure to keep the
Americas hangar up and ready for
him. Lots Of persons along the board
walk and around the hotels were bet
ting that Wellman will reach the
hangar before he does Europe.
If the America is still sailing she
has beaten all records for continuous
fight of dirigibles. possibly all records
for endurance by gas bags.
Count Zeppelin on May 81, 1909, sail
ed his dirigible thirty-seven hours from
Friedrichshafen to Bitterfeld and re-
turn, travelling more than $50 miles.
Assured that Wellman and his crew
will decided before night whether to
start the dash toward Europe or to
return to this city, families and
friends of the men on board and man.
ayers Of the expedition are awaiting
what they expect to be very important
messages to be received from the
America.

When Mr.. Carnegie started In the
steel business he was resolved to re.
duce the appalling accidents incidental
to the work. And he was very sue
cessful in executing this resolve. A
part of his success was due, no doubt,
to the blank slips that every foreman
had to fill up when one Of his hands
got hurt. A certain workman had one
day the bad luck to suffer a slight ac-
cident. His foreman, an illiterate but
honest chap, filed out promptly the
slip which is now preserved at Skibo.
The slip ran:
"Date-March 8, 1880.
"Name-James Miles.

How caused-Oxdentle blow from

ADVANTAGES OF KEEPING BEES.
Their Activity Insures Fertilization Of
Blossoms and Flowers.

BLOSSOMS ana FIoWeTs.
Bookkeeping is valuable aid in the
cultivation OF fruit and seed crops. In
sects which feed on nectar play an
important part In the fertilization OF
flowers. Fertilization Is effected In
other ways, but the agency Of insects
Is the more certain and efficacious,
and no other insect is comparable
with the honey bee in this respect. A
strong hive contains 10000 bees in
February, $4,000 in March, 10000 In
April, and from $4,000 to $4,000 in
May. It has been discovered by
Bkillful observers that the average
load OF nectar carried to the hive by
q bee is about $40 of a grain, so that
the collection of one pound of nectar
requires nearly $4,000 foraging excur-
sions. BY means of hives set on bal
ances 1t has been found that the daily
increase OF weight in May averages
8.3 pounds. Occasionally more than
IL pounds Is gained in one day. and
when the amount consumed by the
bees and the loss of weight by evapo-
ration are considered, 1t appears prob
able that the average daily quantity Of
nectar collected Is not less than II
pounds, which would load 250000
bees. AS bee visits ten flowers on
the average in collecting a single
load some $500, 900 flowers ere visited
in one day by the bees OF single
hive. An additional large number OF
visits is required for the collection Of
pollen. These figures explain why
many trees and plants bear small
crops In the absence OF bees.
