" He is the man / want to sec. then, said
Davis ''Will you write blm now recommend
ing my proposition I will take the letter dl-
rectlv TO him and explain the Details
The general superintendent gave him the
letter ...
Twenty four hours later Davis arrived in
New York and at once called on Mr.. Adams,
the general manager Of the Commercial Tclc~
graph company
Briefly Davis outlined his proposition
''You say that the leading firms in your
city will give their telegraph business to
whichever company you want them tol'
asked the president, his manner expressing
increduity.
'I say that they will allow me TO place
their business with the company that will
give them the quickest service. Here arc con-
tracts with number Of firms to that effect.
Many other firms With whom 7 did not make
written contract verbally agreed to do so.
Now, the substance Of my proposition is
this--your company is to open two branch Of
fees in the business district. put in the ad-
dtioual wires, and make tho improvements
that I have inlicated. These improvements
will give our city the best service it has ever
had | viii then turn over the business that

doubled. I am to be appointed manager of the
branch Offices with commission on the IN
creased receipts

manager, ''Your plan involves the e1pendi'
ture of considerable sum-

ever, to make the necessary outlay, the other
company will consid-'
''suppose 1 give you larger commission

the business you give it TO us anyway,
and both you and our company will make

''Tbat is not 10 be thought of for au in
slant T promised better service, aul it is on
that condition alone that your company can
get the business
"What is your estimate Of the cost of the
improvemeut9h'
"In round numbers $4,000, but as pro-
pose TO increase your receipts $4,000
month it makes good investment. Gou will
find the estimated cost fully itemized in
these papers.
HMr Davis said the general manager,
rising. 81 Will 20 over your papers at once
and give your proposition careful considera-
ton. I will wire my decision to the superin-
tendeut, who will advise you. My answer will
be awaiting you when you reach home. Good
day. sir.

The supcrint endent, however, when Davis
saw him. said he would have to hear from the

the general superintendent ''but is it in

least, / may want YOU to help me later, but

get better ones. -
Davis always energetic, unusually ac.
tive during the next few days He saw ali
business. He called their attention to the fact,
which most Of them knew, that he had great
" improved the telegraph service from that
city. He had secured direct wires TO New
York and other important cities, The rival
telegraph company had been forced TO I'M

the business, Hc proposed TO further improve
the service. Did they want faster service and
quicker answers 10 their mcssagcs' OF course
they did. Then he had a confidential propose
ton to make. Would they agree TO his con Ii

Four days before the date on which his res
ignatIou was to take effect. Davis called upon
Cameron. the local manager Of the CONNER
cial Telegraph company Although compctI-
tors for business, and each kcenly alive 10
the interests of his company. they were per-

Later in the dav he turned the manage

sor While Davis well knew that Brooks was
in no way responsible for his discharge, he
could not help feeling that he was a usurpers
Their intercourse was, therefore, formal and
as brief as consistent with the business at
hand. Thus ended his work for the Unon
Telegraph company.
For the next week he was a busy man. lie
opened two branch Offices, directed tbc work
of four gangs of liuemen who were Strns

ments at the main Office for handling the lu-
creased business.
In the meanwhile the superintendent was

BEE KEEPING IS DECREASING

Diseases Of Insects.

The census OF 1910 shows &c.
o-eose ~ almost 100000 colonies OF
hoes ON the farms OF the uhiteu
States There Is also a considerao'o
decrease in the number OF farms re-
nor,Ips bees. Since bee keeping Is
one OF the important and proh'au!e
minor branches OF agriculture. this
decrease among farmer bee keepers
is unfortunate.
Bee keeping is fast becoming the
business of the specialist, and inc

idly increasing. However, there Is no
reason why the average farmer can
not keep few colonies OF bees 10

Tho United States department oi
agriculture attributes most Of the re-
ported decrease to the brood diseases
Of bees which are now found widely
distributed IN the United states.
Where disease exists the bee keepers
often lose colonies and attribute their
loss 10 some other cause. II is quito
possible to keep bees with profit with
disease prevalent in the neiGhborhoad
provided the bee keeper knows how

BARLEY THRESHED By MOTOR
Ohio Farmer Breaks Record for Time
When He Adopts Electrical Meth.
cd for Quick Work.

William Stroop, who has a farm In
the Miami valley. near Dayton. o..
had a crop Of barley that he wanted
threshed last fall. so he sent for the
owner Of the local threshing outfit TO
do the work. He came with his 3d.
inch separator and his big steam trac-
ton engine and proceeded TO set up
for business.
Mr.. Stroop had been using 10
horsepower electric motor about his
farm buildings for cutting and
grinding feed. saving wood, etc, shift
ing il 10 various positions, as desired,
and making connections with little
trouble. He suggested 10 the owner
Of the thresher that the motor be used
in place Of his engine, 10 which the
latter agreed. though his engineer
doubted the ability OF the small motor
TO run the separator At full capacity
The machine was set. however, and
the belt adjusted. and when the pow.
er was turned on its strength was
speedily demonstrated by the rapidity
with which the sheaves disappeared
and the grain poured out Hour after
hour the work proceeded without
stopping, and when the Job was fin.
ished 1t was found that in less than
i hours more than 100 bushels of
grain had been threshed. an average
OF $50 bushels an hour.

Keeping Bees.

The census shows q decrease OF
almost 100000 colonies OF bees on
the farms OF the United States. There
is also a considerable decrease In
the number of farms reporting bees.
Since bee keeping is one of the i'm.
portant and profitable minor
branches Of agriculture, this decrease
among farmer bee keepers is unfor.
tunate. No returns are available for
bee keepers in towns and cities.
Bee keeping is fast becoming the
business of the specialist and the
number OF men who devote their en-.
tire attention TO the business Is ran
idly increasing. However. there Is no
reason why the average farmer can
not keep a few colonies Of bees 10

USE FOR ELECTRIC TRUCKS
Boston Terminal Railroad Company
Employs Electricity for Handling
Baggage and Freight.

Small electric trucks are used for
the South station Boston, for handl-
ling both freight and baggage.
The adoption OF the electric truck
has been brought about by the huge
volume OF material handled at this
railway terminal. When the freight
was handled BY hand, It was almost
impossible TO properly take care OF it
These trucks are built low 10 the
ground, and have a wheel base Of So
inches. A platform is provided on
which the operator may stand when
the truck is in service. The battery
box is located directly under the plat.
form, but In such a position as will
not interfere with the wheels in max
ing the sharp turns TO which the truck
Is subjected.
For this class of work the cleo.
trio vehicle has been found ideal in
every respect The simple and easy
control. the reliability, the safety and
lack OF any disagreeable odors or
noise. are the reasons why It has been
adopted in Boston.

Physicians tell Us that e5 per cent

nurses who attend the pupils have per-
formed good service In correcting tenn

seriously to not only fed the hungry,
but TO furnish medicated baths for
children suffering from skin troubles.
II is also urged that more attention
should be paid TO school clinics by
teachers and parents cooperating for
that purpose. A wise medical sugges-
ton is made that there should be less
competitive work in the schools and
that the pupils should be relieved OF
some studies, homo lessons abolished
and children promoted or graduated
with more regard TO their actual men,
