Queer Beehlves.

In the prettily situated mountain vii.
lage of Hoefel in SILICA, there are a
number of curious beehives in the
shape of life size figures cleverly
carved in wood and painted in colors.
The figures were carved over a CEN

monastery, who were at that time in
possession of large farm in the dis
trict. There are 20 Of these strange
beehives, and they represent different
characters, ranging from Moses to a
military officer, a country girl, and a
night watchman with a spear. The fig.

RIDDLES ARE OLD AS TIME
But Boys Are Said to Be More Fond
of Them Than GirIs-First of
Which There Is Record.

1t is curious fact that boys are
more fond of conundrums than girls

While all conundrums are riddles,
all riddles are not conundrums, the
term conundrum being used more for
riddles which are based on some fan
cied resemblance, such as, why is a
pig looking out of a secOnd-story win
daw like the moon?" and the answer
is because it looks round. If anyone
objects that the moon does not always
look round, you can reply, Neither
does the pig"
Two of the most famous riddles
are at least 5000 years old. The first
of which there is any record is found
in the fourteenth chapter of Judges,
and was made up by Samson after his
fight with lion. He offered a prize
to anyone who could solve it within
seven days, but no one got it. 1t is
recorded that his wife pestered him
to tell her the answer, but he abso.

he kept it to himself, and some of his

One of the chief entertainments in
ancient times at any domestic gather

their lives in devising them and SELL

write their speeches for them.

Tracing the "Barber Shop Chord"

BARRIERS in the old days might well
charge heavily, for theirs must have
been a nerve-racking existence. Zithers
were provided instead of newspapers
and customers used to strum on these
while waiting for vacant chair. Dek'
l,ar, writing, refers to "a BARRIERS cit
tern for every man to play on" The
term BARRIERS music" was common
one in the days OF Pepys, who on June
5, 1860, records: "After supper my
lord called for the lieutenants Cit
tern, and with two candlesticks with
money in them for symballs, we made
BARRIERS music, with which my lord

consider" ton.
They met today in Buchheidts res
taurant, which is located in a bi)Cg

was renewed
There were only one or two witness

shoot him, when almost instantly the
pistol was fred, sending a bullet
through Overstreet's head, killing him
instantly.
Overstreet was young unmarried
man, the son Of Lou 0verstreet OF this

Washington, D. c.. Nov 29.--Thir-
tq-fve thousand fourth class postmas-
ters scattered throughout the country
who were placed under civil service
rules by President Taft on o t. 15,
1912, are wondering whether they will
remain this way or whether Presi-
dent-elect Wilson will nullify the or
der when he goes into the White
House.
With this situation pending tremen-
dous pressure will be brought to bear
on the new president by democrats
who want these offices to revoke the
Taft order. From all parts of the
country are coming demands that
democrats in small towns be given
a chance at the political pie thev have
closely watched for nearly twenty
yeais.
This sweeping order of President
-'aft did not create much interest in

in many hamlets and villages II gave
