Illinois Legislator Says Lorimer o.
fered Him Postoffee For Vote.


Chicago, Oct 1.-That William
Lorimer personally offered a sub
stantial consideration" for legisla-
tors vote in behalf of himself as a
candidate for United States senator,
was the sworn statement made be-
fore the senatorial investigating COM
mittee by Henry A. Shepard, Demo-
cratic member of the legislature from
Jerseyville. Shepard told the sena-
tors that Lorimer met HIN In an
ante-room of a hotel in Springfield
and promised to appoint anyone that
Shepard might name as postmaster
at Jerseyville. The prosecution de-
clared that Shepard's testimony
showed that Lorimer had an intimate
personal knowledge of the alleged
plot to purchase his election by re-
warding members OF the legislature
who voted for him.

A TOMBSTONE ADVT.

Americans are laughed at in Europe
for carrying the commercial spirit into
everything, but it is hardlv to be be-
believed that they ever carried it SO
far as it is seen to go in certain epi-
taph in one OF the lesser cemeteries OF
Paris. This epitaph reads, when trans
lated into English:
In sacred memory of Victor Pierre
Fourier, inventor of the patent endless
lamp, burning one centime's worth OF
oil per hour. He was good father,
good son, good husband. His in
consolable widow still carries on the

the sound OF happy Workers greets the

AS it may be in white clover time.
The weather is cold and chilly. No
nectar is forming The bees go out
and return empty handed. The activity
of the bees ceases-the work stands
still. Then a slight change i'll tenn
perature. The nectar begins to How.
A Jew bees go out with a half hope,
when 10, they soon are filled with the
new nectar and hurry home: immed-
lately the whole hive. rlcomes active.
Every bee that can be spared is sent
out to gather the nectar and the sound
OF earnest work in the bee kingdom IS
apparent. The change is as distinct
as the sound OF the mill that has been
standing idle because the mill race
was empty, now resounds with the
sound of the whirring wheels as the
water rushes over the driving wheel.
There are times during the summer,
usually just and August, when there is
little nectar i'll the blossoms. At such
times the housewife should be care
full about setting the jelly out TO cool
without covering It. and the candy
makers should keep the screens il the
doors and windows.
\ little incident occurred once,
which illustrates how bees talk. |
went out one Sunday afternoon and
noticed that our colony was having
grand time. The other colonies were
all quiet. But this colony was all
commotion. The bees w:re rushing
out and making bee line in a certain
direction and coming back SO heavily
lalen with honey that they could scar
cely make the fighting board. A bee
from that hive had discovered feast
over at neighbours apiary and had
come home and reported the find. and
they were industriously carrying the
honey home.
As the owner OF that ap:ary came
along the next morning, | called to
him and said, You had picnic among
the bees, yesterday" Why" he said
"how did you know" NV bees told
me-" | said, ''one OF my colonies sue
ceeding in getting an invitation" He
could not understand, but acknowledge
ed that one of his hives had melted
down and the honey melted down and
ran out on the bottc m board and that
was what my bees had found.
Probably the most delightful OF all
the sounds that express the feelings OF
the bees is that of harvest time. 1t is
the H'mu, Sweet Hum OF the honey
bee. When the nectar is flowing free
ly and all day long the bees are COM
ing loaded down and the bees that are
building comb can scarcely get the
cells built fast enough to store the
nectar, there is a continued song both
day aud night, expressive OF happy
contentment, and OF peace and joy.
During the whole night the hive is
a scene of great activity. The process
OF ripennS the honey goes on; the
testers examine the filed cells. and as
soon as they are sufficiently ripened
they are ordered sealed over. For no
unripe honey is ever sealed. And the
most accurate OF al chemists must
pass upon it before it is sealed. Spur
red on with the hopes OF continued
harvest the next day, they industrious
ly build more comb in which to store
it. This deep sounded hum sweet
hum" can be heard throughout the
night, during the height of the har-
vest at quite a distance from the
apiary.
These are just part OF the wonder
ful language OF the bees.
