 Locomotive Engineer.
 T was lettering around the streets last night" said Jim Nelson, one of the old locomotive engineers running into New Orleans. AS had nothing to do I dropped into concert and heard q sleek looking Frenchman play a plano in a way that made me feel all over in spots. AS soon as he sat down on the stool l knew by the way he handled himself that he understood the machine he was running, He tapped the keys away up one end, just as If they were gauges and he wanted to see if he had water enough. Then he looked up as if he wanted to know how much steam he was carrying, and the next moment he pulled open the throttle and sailed on to the main line as If he was half an hour late. You could hear her thunder over culverts and bridges and getting faster and faster, until the fellow rocked about in his seat like a cradle Somehow ] thought it was old 38 pulling pas senger train and getting out of the way of a special. The fellow worked the keys on the middle division like lightning, and then he few along the north end of the line until the drivers went around like a buzz saw and I got excited. About the time was fixing to tell him to cut her o6 little he licked the dampers under the machine wide open, pulled the throttle away back in the tender, and how he did run! I couldn't stand 1t any longer, and yelled to him that hs was pound ing in the left side, and f he wasn't careful he'd drop bis ash pan. But he didn't hear. No one heard me. Everything was flying and whizzing Telegraph poles on ths side of the track looked like . row of cornstalks, and trees appeared to b mudbank. and all the time the exhaust of the old machine sounded like the hum of bumblebee. tried to yell out, but my tongue wouldn't move He went around the curves like bullet, slipped an eccentric. blew out his soft plug went down grades fifty feet to the mile and not controlltns brake set She went by the meeting point at mile and a half . minute, and calling for more steas!. My hdr stood up straight, becaatS., knew tie game was up. Sure eEuash, dead ihead of us was the headlight of special. In daze heard the crash as sthey struck, and saw cars shivered into atoms, people smashed and mngled and bleeding and gasping fc water. heard another crash as the French professor struck the deep keys away down on the lower end ofthe southern division, and then came to my senses. There he was at a dead standstin, with the door of the frebox of the machine open. wiping the perspiration oil his face and bowinSh the people before him.

LATHAM RE-ELEC1ED PRESIDENT
State Beelcepers Ask That Fruit Tree Spraying Be De
 ferred Until Blossoms Fall.

The twentieth annual meeting of the Connecticut Bee Keepers association was held at Hartford Friday at Jew- ell hall. There was 8 large attendance and spirited discussion of the many matters in the question box.
 Town presided. The morning session began at l0.30. Prayer was offered by the vice president, Rev. David D. Marsh of West Hartford.
 The minutes of the last annual meeting and the meeting last fall were read by Secretary and Treasurer James A. Smith. It was voted to raise the annual dues from 50 cents to 75 cents. The dues include a subscTip- tion to the Connecticut Farmer for the year.
 MI. Smith presented his report as MT. Smith also presented his report as treasurer.
 President Latham said the associa- ton had asked for an appropriation of $2,000 for the next two years by the state. He said the committee on priation and he hoped that the appro- priations committee would report in favor of the appropriation
 He said that no bill had been intro duced in the legislature changing the foul brood law. because such action Mlkut cause iOa6 or one year III lu- spection. He said the appropriation of S2,000, if passed, would probably be divided into three parts, so that two years from now there would be funds for inspection, even if bill was introduced in the legislature.
 Mir. Latham said the interest in bee keeping in this state was largely on the increase. He received many re- quests for information about bee keep ing, especially from those who want
