SOME Joys OF MODERN LIFE
Short Conversation Wherein the
Rooster Explains Few Things
to the Patient Hen.

The Hen first looked at the pre-.
MUM notice On the insurance policy.
1T is about twice as large as 1t
ought to be-" explained the Rooster,
this being due 10 the fine Offices the
company maintains, the exorbitant sal
aries paid to the officers, and to 9TH
er things besides"
Il see," said the Hen. How about
that gas bill?"
Same principle" replied the Roost-
er. In this case, we are charged
correctly on the face Of II, according
to the reading Of the meter, but In
reality we are paying double. because
the gas company fixed the thing up
with the legislature. Besides. we are
paying for poor quality of gas. We
are obliged to do this because there is
only one gas company allowed"
II ,see," said the Hen. How about
this carpenters bill?"
That's about one-third more than
1t ought to be. The lumber was
bought from a syndicate, who allowed
the carpenter a commission. Then
his men, who belong to labor union,
shirked their work because, If one
of them set too high standard. all
the rest would have to live UP to it."
II see," said the Hen. How about
this feed bill?"
"The feed, as you know. was half
husks. The Corn Thresher's trust is
responsible for this. They got bill
through the last legislature enabling
them TO control the output. OF course
- But what on earth are you doing !?

Nothing much" replied the Hen.

BEE THE FARMERS FRIEND
In Cultivation Of Fruit and Seed Crops,
Busy Insect Is an Invaluable
Aid.

Beekeeping Is a valuable aid In the
cultivation of fruit and seed crops. In
sects which feed on nectar play an I'm
portant 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 10000 to $4,000 In
May. 1t has been discovered by skill
full observers that the average load
of nectar carried to the hive by q bee
is about three-tenths OF a grain, SO
that the collection of one pound oil
nectar requires nearly $4,000 forag-
ing excursions.
BY means of hives set on balances
II has been found that the daily In
crease in weight In May averages
s.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 evap'
grafton are considered, II appears
probable that the average daily guam
tity OF nectar collected is not less than
IL pounds, which would load 25O,OOO
bees.
AS a bee visits ten flowers on the
average in collecting single load
some 100000 flowers are visited In
one day by the bees Of single hive
An additional large number OF visits
is required for the collection OIL
pollen.
These figures explain why many
trees and plants bear small crops In
the absence of bees.
The bee is charged with various
Imaginary crimes. It's sting is formid'
able. but chiefly to the imprudent. IL
is accused of ravaging fruit, but Its
tongue is formed exclusively for the
extraction of sweet juices. and It's
mandibles are unable to pierce the
skin of a fruit-Cosmos.

BEGINNING OF THE END.
Movement to Take Telephone Poles
Down Met Many Obstacles.

IL is now three years since the prof.
ect of taking down the poles and over
head wires on Quincy street was first
agitated, and the taking down of the
first pole yesterday marked the begin
ming of the end.
The movement to take the poles
down met with many obstacles, and
the attempts of the city through it's
agents and street commissioners to
take down poles were stopped by an
injunction secured by the telephone
company restraining the city from fur
ther action. 1t was not until about a
year ago that plan was devised by
Engineer f. n. Bosson of Calumet for
a sub-surface conduit system, that met
the approval OF the telephone and elec-
trio light companies. One great diff
Guilty was found in securing the nec-
essary easements for crossing private
property with wires and erecting poles
I'm the rear of lots. Through the ener-
getic efforts OF Mayor James and a
committee of members of the council
all the easements were finally secured,
and the laying of the conduits was
begun, extending from Mesnard street
through East Hancock and terminal
ing at point east of the county
bridge on the Ripley road. During the
winter the cables were strung through
the conduits, connections made with
service wires and during the past two
weeks the taking down OF the over
head wires has been In progress,
reaching a point finally at which the
taking down Of the poles could he
started yesterday. The injunction was
withdrawn last fall when the phone
and other companies agreed to the
taking down of the wires and poles.
There was no speechmaking accom-
panying the ceremony of taking down
the first pole yesterday morning De-

length of quincy street. as next season
the laying of conduits will be extended
further west from Mesnard street un-
I'll, within a couple OF years, all the
wires along Quincy street as far az
the cemetery will be placed under
ground.
Five telephone poles down was the
net result of yesterdays efforts on
the part of the telephone company's
force of men towards carrying out the
final steps necessary to bring the
oity's mandates regarding overhead
wires to a complete consummation.
After the first was down. interest
diminished and only an occasional
spectator remained to watch the con-
tinuance OF the job.

Giants Feared pw,rfs.

In the seventeenth century all the
abnornally large and small folks Of
Austria were assembled in Vienna in
response to a whim of the empress.
AS circumstances required that all
should be housed in one building there
was fear that the imposing proper
tions of the giants would terrify the
dwarfs. But the dwarfs teased and
tormented the giants so that these
overgrown mortals complained with
tears in their eyes and as a conse-
quence sentinels had to be placed to
protect the giants from their pygmy
prosecutors. For the smallest men

MISSIONARY DAY AT
OLD EMMAUS
One Of the Largest Crowdg Ever
Congrated al the Noted Old

The day being a beautiful one

Bro. w. X. Gibbs preached a
splendid sermon on missions
and he made il so plain and con-
vincing the duties and the nee
essity Of missions that when the
call came fer donations every
body seemed anxious to give
something for the cause and be-
yond the expectations of every
one there was S50.27 raised. In
addition to the splendid sermon
that Bro. Gibbs preached, the
choir led by Bro Geo. ID. Kinsol-
wing rendered some beautiful
songs and they were very APP
propriate for the occasion.
The dinner hour came and
when dinner was announced
ready, well your scribe never
witnessed such a bountiful sup
ply Of delicious patables, and Il
any one went away hunrgy it
was their own fault. for there
was enough left 70 feed as many
more as was there.
The afternoon services came
on and Bro. Blackburn delivered
one OF his able sermons on the
duties of the Deacons after
which Bro. Geo. ID. Kinsolving
was ordained one of the deacons

Winning Both Game By Score
OF 6-2 and 20

On last Thursday Morganfeld
visited our city for a game of ball
and were engaged by our boys in
what has been termed. one of
the hottest games of the season.
The score stood at close of ninth
inning 6 to 2 in favor of the Wis

the greatest battle ever fought
on local diamond resulting in
another victory for the visitors
by the score of 2 too.
We failed to get a report of
the games by innings in time for
publication. Thanks to our

a report that we made an effort
to get in. but failed. We were
absent when the games were
played and as no one reported to
us we have done the best we
could.
The visitors played a clean
game and there is nothing for
US. but regrets that we could not
win instead of loosing. How
