Wild Honey-Bee Thaws Out in Kitchen
 and Gets Busy.
 The exploit of a party of bee hunters on the domain of William Miles. near Twin Lakes was chronicled in a recent issue of The News. But the exploit had a sequel which has not been chrOnicled. It relates to the daughter of one of the bee hunters, who was presented with goodly chunk of the rich honey comb. She deposited the sweet mass ln the kitchen, where the genial warmth soon revived into life and activity two or three bees that were hidden i'll the bottom of the comb. They crawled out and started on an exploration tour of the premises. The young lady gave the first intimation of the little marauders' obtrusive presence by emitting a shriek of pain and alarm and rushing wildly from the room in the direction of her boudoir. When she returned she ex- plained that an Over-inquisitive, bold, bad bee had overstepped the bounds in it's explorations, and that ill order to liberate the little villain, she was obliged to disrobe. She was so mad about it that she refused to sit down for long time afterWard

THAT TWIN LAKES TOWER
Oesigred to OutIast Judge Roraback's
 Tower and Bear Mountain.

The secret motive that impels John Avoid to erect the monument at tho Island, at Twin Lakes is out at last. Julian H. Sterling, the retired bald head journalist formerly of the New York World and other papers, in an article written for the Bridgeport Standard, re- peats a conversation he had with his friend George Flames in Bridgeport on Thanksgiving day, Sterling used to camp out at Twin Lakes, generation or two ago, and, being told by Flames that Avoid was building a concrete monument l50 feet tall with a 95lfoot diameter base, he asked Eames what it was all about Flames replied
 II asked John why he was doing such a thing, and John said, Oh l suppose you will call it fool reason-you see Judge Roraback has put a wooden tower on his,propertv overlooking the lakes Battell of Norfolk has put up stone monument on Bear Mountain which is the highest point in Connecticut and oYcrlooks the island. Judge Rorabaok's tower will decay by time and the Bear Mountain monument gets struck by lighting every little while and that too will perish in time Now I propose to put up something that will last for thousand years.
 MT. Avoid who is bachelor con- tinued, you know when you get stuck on beautiful woman you like to be 8 sort of fool and give her diamonds. Now I'm stuck on that island, I love the spot more than anything on earth and 1 am going to give that island a monument that will last almost for ever , "

BALD-HEAO CLUB
How it Developed from a Chance
 Meeting of Bare Polls.


 The remarkable furore which the first annual banquet of the Bald Head Club of America, held at Langs' Inn, Falls Village, has created all over the coun- try, goes to show the results that may spring from a small beginning. When those six bald headed gentlemen-D. E. Moore, w. H. Hart. F. E. Eggleston, A, P Chapman, Rufus H. Whitford, and John H. Belden-chanced to meet on the front stoop of John BeIdens clothing store in Falls Village a few years ago, and were caught by discern ing photographer, they little thought that from that chance assemblage would grow movement that would create a sensation from Maine to California.
 The picture, taken at that time, was printed on postcards and sold about town and outside, as souvenirs. A num- Der of years went by and the incident was we'll nigh forgotten, when a news

 Moore 6 Roger, of East Canaan, whose store was burned 8 few weeks ago. have advertised to sell their horses, wagons, harness, etc., at auction tOmor- row foreno( at 10 o'clock.
 Insurance on the stock of merchandise etc., was adjusted last week, the com- panies paying $500. The full amount of insurance was $4. 500 and the value of the stock destroyed, according to MT. Moore, was fully $5,0O0.
 The safe, which went through the fire, was badly cracked, and the backs of the books practically burned off. The ao- counts. however. were unharmed, though Mr. Moore asserts that had 1t not been for the work of the Canaan Hose Company the entire contents would have been rendered worthless. The firemen cooled the safe as much as possible until they could drag it out of the burning ruins.
 / I6 is to be understood the store will not be rebuilt, and that MT. Roberts offers the site for sale. The village hall, which is owned by MT. Roberts, may be remodeled and fitted up for Moore 6 Roger as store.

COUNTY TIRED OF FEEDING BOWMAN NEGRO HAPPENING IN JAIL SEBASTIAN WILL THEREFORE PAY COURT COSTS AND
 HANG HIM.

Little Rock, June 2O.-If it depend ed upon the contingent fund of the attorney generals office to pay $30 for a mandate from the supreme court of the United States showing the dismissal of writ of error in the Will Bowman case, Bowman would at least have lease on life until the next leg stature makes a new appro- priation for the attorney general.
 Thus, because the state has not $50 1t can spend for the bit of paper, Bowman, sentenced to hang for crm- inal assault committed three years ago, goes right on fattening up in the county jail at Fort Smith.
 But is it not to continue so, for County Judge Harp of Sebastion county has notified Attorney General Norwood that his county will supply the required amount, and in this man. her put the case up to Governor Don- aghey, so that date may be set for the execution. It is costing the coun- ty of Sebastian 75 cents a day to feed Bowman, and as it has been doing this for several years, Judge Harp is anxious to spend the $50 and save considerable for the county by do- ing so.
 3on man was convicted at Fort Smith for criminally assaulting girl Il years of age. The crime was com mitted upon that portion of Fort Smith which is known as the "Choc- taw Strip having been a part of the Choctaw nation before Oklahoma be- came state. Bowman claims to be part Indian. After the supreme court of Arkansas affirmed the lower court in the Bowman case, his attorneys claimed Arkansas had no jurisdiction in the matter and appeal to the Unit led States supreme court, the appeal recently being dism ssed. The man. date showing the dismissal is not sent out until the costs are paid. The Bow man attorneys have no use for a man date, and if Judge Harp had not come in with the offer to pay for it, Bow man would be good for at least an- other year in jail
 When Bowman is executed it will be the first white man hanged there by the state authorit es since the civil war. Fort Smith was rather popu- lar hanging point before the United States court was removed, or the Ok iahoma courts established with crim- inal jurisdiction over the portion of the country which supplied the talent for the Border City legal hanging carnivals.

PLANS ANOTHER
 WHEELS" TRIP
TOUR NORTHERN STATES
W. B. FOLSOM, BRINKLEY PRO- MOTER, PLANS BETTER
 TRAIN THIS YEAR.

Little Rock, June 2O.-Preliminary plans for the annual Arkansas on Wheels excursion were made here Wednesday by w. B. Folsom of Brlnkley, the originator of the yearly northern junkets, who called upon state officials and railroad men to see what could be done regarding better advertising train than was ever sent out before.
 It is the intention of the promoter to cut down the size of the train this year, limiting the number of passen- gers to 100, and making it a case of quality rather than of quantity. The train used last year was too cumber- some to handle, and by taking greater care in the selection of exhibits and the limiting of the attendants, Mr. Folsom believes he can take out an advertising medium which will do much more for Arkansas than the previous ones. As the value of this sort of train has been satisfactorily demonstrated, through the many land sales which can be directly traced to former tours of Arkansas on Wheels, MT. Folsom expects little difficulty in getting the spaces all contracted for in a short time.
 The promoter expects to have the train all equipped several days before the time of departure in October, and have it placed upon side track in front of the state capitol building, where the people of Arkansas may en- joy the great exhibits of their state, as well as the people in the states which will be toured by the train.
 In the contracts for space on the train will be a clause which will re- quire the turning over of the exhibits, at the completion of the journey, to the agricultural department of the state of Arkansas, or some other in- st tut.on in Little Rock, which will agree to keep them permanently on exhibition.
 Mir. Folsom expects the train to be out about two weeks this year, tour ing Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, with return through Ken lucky. The big stops will be made in Chicago and Kansas City. This route has been selected, as 1t comprises the territory from which Arkansas draws heaviest for it's new citizens.

SEVEN CONWAY
 BOYS IN CLASS

Seven Conway young men were in the class which received diplomas at the graduating exercises at Hendrix College yesterday, the number being the largest ever graduating in one year from one county The local members of the class were J. Hern- don Burr, George F. Hartje, B. Moore Harton, Arch E. Pearson, J. Baxter Stevenson, c. Rice Wilson and w. Claud Vaughter.
 The graduating class of 20 was near.y double that of the next largest class in the history of the college. Next years class, however, will be a small one, as the junior class of 1912 IS composed of only about 12 members and some of these will possibly not re- turn. But after 1913, the senior class, 1t is believed, will never again be a small one. The attendance in the col legiate classes is constantly increas- ing, the number of freshmen and so- phomores dur ng the past year being much greater than ever before.

President Doyne advised him that all could be admitted, as there will doubtless be counties from which the full quota will not attend.
 The fifth annual catalogue of the Normal is just off the press and is be- ing mailed to county examiners and prospective students.
