THE WIT OF BEES.
Industrious Insects Seem to Be En-.
dowed With Reasoning Power.

A Virginia farmer had a few
swarms of bees which he kept il
what are called box hives. Inside
these were small boxes which would
hold about two or three pounds o1
honey each. About eight of these
were placed in the top Of the hive
and as at least one side of each boz
was Of glass the keeper could easily
look into the hive and see when the
boxes were filled with honey.
The farmer usually chose to dc
this early in the morning, before
the bees came out to begin the Ia
bors of the day, or at night when
they had finished them. Bees do not
like to have their dwelling places
molested and generally try to sting
the intruder.
One day some friends were at the
farmers house, and as they wanted
honey very much the farmer thought
he would venture to take it out in
the afternoon. He knew that some
of the boxes were quite full. The
hives stood a few rods from the
house, and on that side of the house
were large doors leading into the
cellar.
It has been mentioned that the
boxes were partly of glass; but the
bottom of each was made of little
Stats, so that the bees could go in
and out as they liked.
The farmer took out several box
es, carried them into the cellar, shut
the cellar doors nearly together, and
hurried away. He put the boxes in
to the cellar in order to allow any
bees which might be in them to fly
out and return to the hive; but, in
his haste to avoid being stung, the
farmer left the doors open too much.
so that the cellar was quite light,
whereas it should have been nearly
dark.
The bees were so excited and en-
ragged that they fled in all directions,
every one who came in
their way. A woman on the porch
was stung on her cheek; neighbor
passing along the road Jared no bet
ter; and a great running and scream
ing ensued.
When supper time came there were
80 many bees flying about the cellar
doors that no one cared to go near
them. Eary the next morning the
farmer looked out of the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full Of bees.
At about 10 o'clock he looked
again and not bee could be seen.

He went down and brought up the
boxes. But, instead of being heavy
with honey, as they were the day
before when taken from the hive,
they were almost as light as air.
being filled only with empty comb.
The bees had worked with will and
carried all the honey back to the
hives.-Harper's Weekly.

LYRIC GARDEN THEATRE.


The popularity and drawing power
OF the Dorner stock actors, with that
clever little comedienne, Miss June
Agnott, is on the daily increase, and
this weeks audiences thus far in at
tendance ofs the four-act drama of
life, Master and Slave" have been
considerably larger than that of la st
week. First of all, the present week s
splendid offering affords the entire
company every avenue in the display
of their individual ability, as each
member is most happily cast. The
play itself is a most worthy one, of
the common sense order. natural and
convincing throughout. In the cast
away part of Chick the child of
the fishing coast, Miss Agnot gives IL
most exhilarating portrayal of a char
acter soubrette role, which bubbles
over with vim and laughter, and oc-
casiona BILE touches of childlike pathos.
She made an emphatic hit, at the
same time adding to her popularity.

AviatorS Have
Thrilling Race
Around England
Andre Beaumont Wins $4,000
Offered by London Daily Mail
for Flight
Especial from United Press

Brooklands. Eng, July 26.-Aftar
the most thrilling contest in the his
tory of the cross country aviation,
Lieutenant Conneau, who races under
the name Of Andre Beaumont, today,
won the $4,000 prize offered by the
London Daily Mail for a successful
flight around England and Scotland.
Vedrines, a fellow country man will
get second prize, the two Frenchmen
having distanced all of their competi-
tors.
For miles along the route they
chimes going faster than a mile a
minute. Beaumont took wing at
Bristol at 4:50 this morning. Ved-
rines was in the air two minutes
later. Beaumont, the French naval
lieutenant, had go minutes and one
second the better of it on the credit
so far and Vedrines was determined
to overcome this lead in the final
stage of the race. Vedrines pushed
his plane to the utmost. For miles
the two birdmen swept along almost
side by side.
Vedrines flew low and Beaumont
very high. A thick. heavy mist blot
ted out the two men from each 9TH
er's view but both plunged on with
unslackened speed. The mist devel-
oped into drizzling rain. Reaching
Exeter, Vedrines was delighted TO
find that he had outdistanced Beau
mont, who came in sight as Vedrines
re-ascended. Not far from Excite r
both aviators plunged into a series
of thunderstorms and gusty winds
that rocked the big monoplanes dan
gerously. Discretion counseled a
descent, but each kept on. At Sails
bury Plains, the second control sta
ton of today's route, 83 miles from
Exeter, Vedrines was again the first
to descend and then began a flight
of 76 miles to Brighton, much of the
route along the English Channel
A great throng greeted the two
Frenchmen here. Vedrines had
maintained his position and was the
first to sweep down at the Aero
drome. Vedrines had cut down Beau
mont's lead to 81 minutes and 20
seconds on the 224 mile flight from
Bristol. Beaumont arrived IL min
utes behind Vedrines. Both were so
exhausted that they agreed to take a
brief rest.
With only a short lap of Al miles
to the starting point at Brooklands

ton at 1928 p. m. The total flying
time for Beaumont was % hours. %

MAYOR GOT TIRED

The party" was opened by a little
reading" to which Jim" felt himself
obliged to answer guilty, and then the
surprise was Sprung"
I'm getting tired of seeing you
here. Jim, and the people at the coun-
ty Jail don't like to see you," COM
menced the mayor. THE only rea-
son they tolerate you is because they
get some profit from feeding you and
they want all the profit in this way
they can get. Now I'm going to let
you fine yourself. What do you
think you should be fined?"
So astonished that he could hardly
speak, as he was expecting to hear
the mayor say "$100 and costs and
30 days" Maher suffered: why
Doc, l think I'll not fine myself any
thing"
"Then will you promise you won't
get drunk for a year," the mayor in
| terrogated.
Upon being answered in the affirma-
tive, the mayor ordered Jim to "git,"
| and q ripple of laughter passed over
| the court room.

Rain Once More Prevents
Playing of Fourth Game
of Worlds Series.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19.-The
fourth game Of the worlds series be-
tween the Giants and the Athletics
was again postponed by the National
Commission today because of rain and
wet grounds. During the early morn
ing the rain, which had been falling
all night subsidized and hopes are en-
played. Nursing this hope the fans
journeyed to Shibe park When they
reached there the rain began falling
again. 1t was then that the National
Commission decided on postpone
ment.
Rube Oldring, the Athletic center
fielder, received telegram today that
his sister, Miss Lillian Oldring. %
years old, Mt Vernon, N. Y, died last
night. While Rube was upset over the
death of his sister he announced he
would stick to the team, saying that
he thought it was his duty to Manager
Mack and the Philadelphia public to
remain with the team until the
worlds pennant was won.
Indications are that either Ames or
Marquard will face the Athletics Fri
day. Rube was anxious to pitch in
order that he might vindicate himself
for Mondays defeat.

Quakers in the initial contest, and
lost, seems to be Manager Connie
Mack's choice
There is a promise that center field
