travels. IT'S always an assistance to
a bee-hunter to get one creature
fairly off, as it helps him to line
the next with greater sartainty."
Ben would say actyve, and sar-
tain, though he was above say
ing creatoore, or creatur'. This is
the difference between a, Penn
sylvanian and Yankee. We shall
not stop, however, to note all these
little peculiarities in each individ-
ual, but use the proper or the
peculiar dialect, as may happen to
be most convenient to ourselves.
But there was no time for dis
QUESTION, the second bee being
now ready for a start. Like his
companion, this insect rose and en-
circled the stump several times,
ere il darted away toward its hive,
in an AIRLINE. So small was the OBJ
ject, and so rapid its movement,
that no one but the bee-hunter
saw the animal after it had begun
its journey in earnest. To his dis
appointment, instead of flying in
the same direction as the bee first
taken, this little fellow went buzz
zing off fairly at a right angle |
1t was consequently clear that
there were two hives, and that
they lay in very different direc-
tons.

WELLSVILLE, Mo-, July 81
came several hundred miles to
talk to an unassuming little
country girl and find out whether
the marvellous stories told of her
are true. For if they are, she is
probably the most wonderful girl
in America. And this is what l
discovered:
Bessies Stewart sees i'm the dark
as well as in the light.
She dances as gracefully as
Genee, though she has never
practiced dancing.
She delivers lectures and re-
cites poems that she has merely
heard or read.
She cOmposes excellent music,
though she has only the rudi-
ments of a musical education.
She sings songs that she has
never learned.
She tells her friends the secret
record of their lives.
She describes events taking
place hundreds of miles away.
Miss Bessie Is the 20-year-old
daughter of Charles Stewart, a
farmer living five miles southwest
of this village. These strange
things are done while she is in a
state of trance which physicians
are unable to explain. During
the past year she has often fallen
into this state, remaining in it
from two days to week. She
seems transformed into another
person-in fact, she acts the part
of several persons.
Bessie is a tall, slender girl,
with brown hair, high white
forehead and touch of pink in
her cheeks. She looks strong
and healthy. Her frances do not
seem to have affected her general
health. She feels no bad effects
from smoking.

that the complaints should properly

A representative of the company

explain why the new laid street was

anything but satisfactory to those
