TEXAN NOT AFRAID OF BEES
Charles Potehenlek Appears 70 HaVe
Unusual Control Over Busy Little
Honey oatherers.

San Antonio. Tex.-Charles Potche-
nick, employed by the Maverick apia-
ries near this city, appears to have un-
usual control over bees. He handles
them with as much apparent ease as
one would in playing with kittens or
harmless pet. He is used to their
ways and appears absolutely obliviouS
to the fact that they can sting.
While working with them he goes
bare-armed and bare faced and pays
no attention to the insects as they
crawl over his exposed hands and
arms or pile up in great clumps on
his face.
Recently he had a picture taken
holding a small limb In his teeth on
which a swarm had settled. The bees
formed a kind Of long beard hanging
below his waist and his entire face
was covered with those that crawled
from the limb. Old beekeepers say
that his feats in handling bees are the
most remarkable in the world. He
claims he has not been stung In two
years.

come-between Naples and Rome.
The dress Of one differs from that Of

Of living old masters.
In these days Of compulsory educa.

fairly intelligent people in Italy can
not read nor write, SO that lack Of
even q smattering Of book knowledge

ciociare's intellectual horizon does not

careless and unhampered. with no
