THE new RECIPROCITY TREATY

FIR the fist time in more than
fifty years the governments of
the United States and Canada have
5ern able to prepare a trade agree
menI that bo:h parties to the
negotiation believe will prove ac-
ceptable to the people and increa e
the already great business passing
over the border. The attempt to
drive the Dominion into the Union
has been definitely abandoned. The
ahroRation Of the reciprocity treaty
in 1866, the long period of notori-
ously< hostile tariff legislation
cuI ninating 10 the Mckinley and
Dinghy tariff acts, the constant
friction over fisheries and
hou1 lari's and bonding privileges
and iliHn labor laws all these have
ended in acknowledged defeat.
Canada has grown and prospered
in spite of them and Washington
has at last had the grace to
acknowledge that the Dominion
must hereafter be treated as the
nearest neighbor and one of the
best customers of the republic
should have been treated long ago.
1t is asserted in some quarters on
this side of the boundary that there
is an Interior motive behind
the change of attitude of the
United States, and that having
discovered that Canada could not
be coerced the political Btrategists
south Of the line are now seeking
to cajole and bride her into the
Union. That may be the motive
although there is no evidence Of il,
but anyone who believes that
Canada's future depends on tariff
or trade agreements knows
nothing of the intense loye of
country that is developing Among
the rising generation the
patriotic spirit nothing ~material
can destroy or even stake. -

DRUNKEN BEES MAKE LIFE
MERRY FOR THEIR OWNER

Alcohol has the same effect on
bees that it does on human beings,
according to j. F. franklin of
HALEY, WHO is the owner of large
apiary near that city. Franklin
fed his bees on a mixture of sugar
and alcohol during the first warm
days of the spring, and as a result
they alighted upon him, some APP
parently petting him. while others
fell to and stung him vigorously.
Franklin is one of those favored ly
some sort of mystic choice in
nature where by, as a rule, bees do
not bother him, but the comhina-
ton a lcohol and sugar was too
much for them and their natures
became perverted with the result
that Franklin wore bandages for
several days thereafter.
1T is the first experience | ever
had with drunken bees" said Mr..
Franklin at the state house ycstcr-
day were he went for the purpose of
visiting the officials of the state
horticultural department on bussi-
ness.
II lcidently. never was stung
in my life before and have
handled bees ever since ! was a boy
of 10 years of age. But | would
not advise anyone to experiment on
bees with sugar and alcohol unless
they are looking for trouble. -

4 WOMAN's SACRIFICE

Three years ago a startling tale
came 10 light concerning a promi-
nent business man in Austria. He
found himself on the brink of ruin,
and his wife came to his rescue at
the cost of her own life. Leaving
an over heated room one night, she
walked up and down a stone flag
ged passage bare foot and with
nothing on but nightdress, till
she caught chill which she
aggravated by series Of reckless
acts. Inflammation of the lungs
set in, and she died shortly after
ward. Her husband obtained the
large sum of money for which her
life was insured and with this, he
was able to pull through the crisis
successfully, He married for a
second time within three months of
his first wife's death. This husband
did not get off scot free. however.
A servant in his employ had
overheard the conversation in which
the heroic young wife had told her
husband her intention to die for
his sake. The servant informed
the police. Then the insurance
companies commended it was a case
of suicide and sued successfully for
the return of the money. The
husband was prosecuted for being
an accessory to his wife's death and
received the punishment he well
merited.

of that lease they are to receive

assuring a systematic development
of the property. Their new
locations lie within short distance

DROWNDED At PALISADE

to the Reno Journal says:
Within ten feet from solid land
and life, The bold Lukos a Greek
laborer was swept to death this
afternoon within sight of a group
of his fellow laborers, drowning in
the Humboldt after battling across
the stream on frdil raft aided
only by slim protection afforded
by wire guy rope strung across
the stream.
Excited efforts to save him were
futile. and even his body could OF
be recovered from the rushing
stream which has become a torrent
due to the floods above. Dynamite
has been resorted to through the
day in the hope of raising The body,

Llkus desired t. cross the river
at a point where no bridge was
near. His companions endeavored
to persuade him to go down stream
to the bridge. but he declared
that he could make it on the
improvised ferry that is frequently
used when the water is low and the
current safe. He set out despite
fears and managed to keep the
raft balanced against the swift
current by bracing himself agains t
the wire. When he got within ten
feet Of the opposite side, however,
the current eddied around q rock
and in bracing against the wire he
forgot his fouting, and stepped off
the center. The raft overturned
and shot down the stream with
Lukos grasping franticalIy at the
wire. He sunk in the torrent
holding on to the wire, but the
current was too strong and jerked
him down to his death in an
instant.
