Sunbeam
Conquered
A
Giant
BY JOHN S. REMY.

Ages ago there lived in a pro-
vince in India the most powerful
giant the world has ever known. Not
only was he stronger than ten 9th.
er giants together, but there was
nothing in the world he could not do.
He wandered up and down the land,
commanding people to give him tasks
70 perform, and he had never failed,
NO matter how difficult was the thing
asked, to at once accomplish it. He
was harsh and cruel giant, for, as
soon as he had done a persons bid
ding, he Immediately carried that per-
son off to his great palace in the
mountains, where he was held pris-
Oner.
At last the ruler Of this province
said he would give up his throne to
anyone who could ask this giant
something he would fail to do. ALI
the wise and great men Of the king
dom racked their brains to think Of
some impossible task, and many curl
Gus things were asked of the giant.
For instance, it was in the middle Of
the winter seas On, when no fruit,
not even buds, were on the trees,
and great landowner came to the
giant, and said, Make my hundreds
Of trees at once full Of ripe and lus-
cious fruits" Hardly had the words
left his mouth when flush Of color
ran over the trees, and buds and
blossoms burst into beauty, and then
the branches we're bending under
their load OF fruit; and OFF went the
wealthy landowner to the giants
castle.
Then came great physician. Il
need" said he, many herbs and
drugs that India does not produce
Get them for me at once one of
every herb that grows, in every land
in the world, or you shall drink
drug that will put an end to your
wicked power"
"Ah! hal" chuckled the giant. "You
are just the man 4 need in my castle.
There are too many slaves there.
You shall take your drugs with you,
and make deadly drink for the lazy
ones"
At once the physician was almost
buried beneath the herbs and drugs
that he had ordered, and he, too,
vent off to the castle.
The ruler Of the kingdom now
came to the giant He was kind
and tender-hearted man, and a wise
one also; and he thought to him.
self, well, this may be my last day
in my kingdom, SO I'll ask the giant
something which, if he can do it, will
at least leave my people comfortable,
and happy after l am gone"
So he said to the giant: For
once you shall use this magic power
Of yours Tor good. or else leave this
land forever. There are many poor,
many sick people in my country. II
you can make every one wealthy,
healthy, and happy, shall ban quite
content to 60 to your castle, md be
your slave forever"
The giant hated to do a kindly
decd, 90 he reared with rage, and
mid to the ruler: For this you
shall work in the mines OF my rock
Sound home. You shall never again
zee 9 ray Of sunlight or know any
sther pleasure In life. Solitary work
= the darkest corners Of the gold
mines shall be your portion"

and the eggs she drops in the small
cells hatch out females and those
she puts in the larger cells are al
ways males or drones.
More than that, she seems always
to know the exact condition of the
hive and to be able to limit her
egg laying according to its need or
otherwise Of population; for either
you see her filling only a few cells
each day in little patch of comb
that can be covered with the palm
of your hand or she goes to work on
a gigantic scale and in tWenty-four
hours produces eggs that weigh more
than twice as much as her whole
body.
Then" he goes on in Van Nor
denis Magazine, ito cap all, as the
honey season draws on to its height
you are forced to think that the
queen has conceived and is carrying
through a scheme for the good of her
wisest ruler ever born in human pur-
pie.
Every day of summer sunshine
has brought thousands of young bees
into life. The hive is getting over
crowded Sooner Or later one of two
things must happen-either the in
crease OF population must be checked
or great party must be formed to
leave the old home and go cut to es-
tablish another.
Then it is that the mother bee
seems to prove beyond doubt hcr
wisdom and queenliness. She decides
for the emigration, but as a leader
must be found for the party and none
is at hand she forms tt resolve to
lead it herself.
"a new ruler for the old realm
must be provided to take her place
when she has gone forever, and now
you see a party of bees set to work
on something that fairly beggars
your curiosity.
"At first it looks exactly like an
acorn cup in wax hanging from the
under edge of the comb. Perhaps the
next time you look the cup has grown
to twice it's original size and now you
see it is half full of glistening
white jelly.
THE next time, maybe, you open
the hive the accord has been added to
the cup, the queen cell is sealed over
and finished, and about week later
there comes out a full grown queen
bee twice the size of the ordinary
worker and quite different in shape
and often different in color.
IF the mother bee really brought
all this about queen would not be
good enough name for her, but the
truth is throughout all the wonder
workings of the hive the queen is
little more than an instrument,
kind of an automaton, merely doing
what the workers compel her to do.
"They are the real queens in the
hive and the mother bee is the one
and only subject. The birth Of a
queen is simply question Of where
the eggs are laid.
Thousands and thousands of
worker eggs are laid in a hive dur
ing the season, and each of those
could be made into queen if the
workers chose; but the worker egg
is laid in small cell and the larva
is bred on bare minimum of food
at the least possible cost in time,
trouble and space to the hive, while
when a new queen in wanted cell
as big as your finger top is built and
the larva is stuffed like prize pig
through all it's five days of active life
until, with unlimited food and time
and room to grow in, it comes out at
last a perfect mother bee."

FARMERS CLUBS WILL
COME OUT FOR REFORMS
Will Ask Explanation Why Liquor
Was Sold On State Fair
Grounds Last Fall

From advance information furnish
ed by Is. A. Holden, of WiXom, presi-
dent of the Michigan State Associa-
ton of Farmers Clubs, which began a
tow days session in the senate cham
Der OF the capitol yesterday, there Is
every reason to believe that some
red hot resolutions will be introduced
before the association adjourns Wed.
nesday evening
A. the last meeting OF the assocla-
ton held In this city a year ago, A.
j. Dougherty, OF Detroit. one of the
members or the Michigan State Fair
association. promised the farmers that
no liuor would be sold on the fair
grounds last summer, but inasmuch
as liquor was sold In the usual man
ner last fall, the members OF the as
sociation declare that Dougherty or
some members OF the State Fair as
societion handed them the double
cross, and il is said that they will
take cogniZance OF this before tie
meeting Is brought to a close.
Ii is said that a majority of the
delegates are In favor Of statewide
prohibition and there is possibility
that an attempt viii be made to have
a resolution passed calling for this
measure.
AT the meeting year ago some
one suggested such a resolution but IL
was not presented. President Holden

a resolution will be presented declar-
ing for a sweeping reform in the pres

HOW PRESS VIEWS
TAF1's MESSAGE
Evening Post Says 1t Is Not Inspiring

Commend 1t.

|. NEW YORK, Dec. How the New
York papers view the presidents mes
sage:
World-It Is standpat message,
conciliatory In language, but strangely
unresponsive to popular needs and as
pirations.
Sun--Look before you legislate, says
President Taft. How different was
the procedure consistently practiced
during the previous administration.
Herald--lt Is a message OF rest and
peace
Press-His carefulness In dealing
with situations which are difficult OF
management does not mean that al
the right moment he would not act
positively and with force.
American-The tone OF the presi
dents message Is admirable. IL is
as straightforward as the character OF
the man who wrote II.
Tribune-It is a persuasive and ut
terly honest document, marked
throughout by a patriotic intent &c
serve the nations interests.
Times-Of actual recommendation
, for new laws there are not few in
the message, but none of them is OF 8
disturbing nature.
Evening Post-It is not inspiring Il
gives no positive lead. Instead OF is
suing call to action, Mr. Taft has
written tedious practical review.
