Growing Bees in Iowa

Frank c. Pellet, Of Atlantic,
state bee Inspector, asserts that
Iowa is overlooking q valuable
money-producing agent by dis
daining the culture of the bee.
No doubt Mr.. Pellet is right.
Iowa is the leading agricultural
state in the union and she
might as we'll take first place
in the production of honey. It
is certain no state in the union
has so great a wealth of honey.
making flowers and blossoms as
Iowa.
Mr.. Pellet calls attention to
a fact often overlooked which
is, that the value of bees is by
| no means confined to TIE
amount of honey produced. Of
more Importance is the in
creased yield of fruit and crops
because of better pollenization
of blossoms through the assist
ance of the bee. Suppose that
ten times as much honey were
gathered in Iowa as is now col
lected and that in addition the
fruit output of the state were
greatly augmented, would it
not seem that bee culture might
be a paying investment for the
Iowan?
Mr.. Pellet believes that
Am s college should arrange to
give special instruction to the
young man who wishes to &c

The Patient People
Omaha World Herald: The
number of automobile accidents
is constantly increasing and in
one or two cities they have
been 80 numerous that a spec
ial court has been provided in
which these offenders are to be
tried. The accidents in New
York City for the last month
were double those of the same
month last year. There does
not seem to be any remedy for
the killing and manning, but
more severe penalties and
closer control by the police. If
any man should ride or drive a
horse at full speed along the
streets where there were multi
tudes of people, he would re-.
ceive no mercy in the courts,
but an automobilist who drives
his machine that is just as dam
gerous as q horse at greater
speed among the people, is
fined $40 or $25, even when he
has been previously convicted
or pleaded guilty several times
for the same offense. Many
men who are wealthy enough
own automobiles care little for
such a fine, in fact, it is no pun
ishment at all. Riding over
the streets was actually one of
the causes Of the French revolt
ution. There have been q
great many more people run
down and killed by automobiles
in the United States during the
last few years than we're run
over by the carriages of the
aristocrats in France, and the
people have borne with it very
patiently.

The Late General Bragg

New York Sun: General
Bragg was a good man, weigh.

who always spoke his mind
with q robust eloquence that
made men forget his size. 1t
was said of his service in con-
gress that while "there were
ADLER men in the house he new
er met his match in debate, and
no one was more feared. not
even Thomas B. Reed" The
little general was always strong
lin his cause, and his advocacy
of it was irresistible because
he was utterly fearless and
used a vocabulary Of terrible
intensity. After one bout with
Bragg most men had had
enough. In fact his tongue
was such a formidable weapon
that silence was often the bet
ter part of valor. Many of his
sharp sayings have been hand
ed down and are we'll known
Who but Gen. Bragg could
have made this reply to annoy
ing cries of "Louder!!" in the
democratic national convention
of 1888: "When Gabriel blows
his trumpet some jackass will
call out 'Louder!!' I" Naturally
he was not interrupted again.
