Twas dream that I had OF a money

Nobody was begging with tremulous
hand.
Nobody was worrying over his bills.
Nobody was striving to fill up his tilIs.
Nobody was plotting for profit and gain.
Nobody was trading on hunger and pain.

Some said It was heaven. some said Il

When anyone worked-as they all did.
He toilsd for the pleasure he had in the
act:
Some labored with cheeriness all Of the
while,
Some grumbled and srowlsd and werv
not seen to smile;
Each did what he could for his fellows
each day
But everyone knew there was no coin for
pay.
The Joy Of achievement was all that he
got
Some said 1t was heaven. some said Il
No bargains on Monday brought people
downtown,
No worrying debtors faced anyons's
frown:
There wasn't a cent in the whole OF tho
And some people thought tho arrange
ment was grand,
While others declared that no money to
spend
was simply wearying, pleasureless
end,
No dollar sign there. nor a decimal dot

thought 1t was not

Some people were happy with nothing to

Some people were sorry with nothing to

use Potts queen-cages, which can
also be used a. cell-protectors or nur.
series The difference between these
and the regular Benton cages are:
l. The candy-hole 10 made from the
end. using only a half-inch bit.
2. A half-inch hole IL made through
the side into the center compart-
ment.
8. The top and side covers are OF
perforated metal. and cut 80 that they
do not catch the clothing.
4. These covers are put on with A
screw. which serves as a hinge. and
can be frightened with one turn of the
screWdriver. so that the imprisoned
bees cannot force open the doors and
escape. which l have seen them do
when laid down temporarily.
The convenience and advantage Of
these cages will be readily seen in the
following operations:
10 to your nucleus colony and pick
up the comb with the queen; grasp 1t
with the left hand, also hold your
queen cage with the same hand, your
thumb over the opened side door.
NOW with the right hand pick off your
queen and she will easily pass
through the half-inch door. A three
eighth or quarter inch is not nearly
so convenient. You can cage as many
bees as you wish. with.seldom a sting.
Inc covers are so cut that they will
not catch the clothing and pull open
on the way to the out-apiary.
