BEES STING A FERRY CROWD
Considerable Action When Box Hold
ing Hives Splits Open and 1000
Are Released.

Philadelphia.-Two thousand busy
little bees raised much turmoil and
excitement at the Market street ferry.
A large packing box containing two
hives with 1000 bees was being
shipped to Paulsboro, N. j. When the
drayman reached the ferryhouse the
box slipped off and fell to the street
and burst open. The enraged bees
at once mixed with a crowd of 1000
commuters and then action began.
Lieutenant Buehler on spirited horse
rode into the fray. His steed was
stung and tried to stampede into the
crowd. Finally the crate was pulled
on the ferry boat Camden and when
she left her slip the 1000 bees flew
after it, making life uncomfortable
for everybody on the boat. Had the
queens left either of the hives it Is
estimated that traffic at the ferry
would have been suspended for the
rest of the day.

BABY SAVES GIRLS LIFE
Little Five-Year-oid Hero Is Youngest
Applicant for Carnegie
Medal.

New York.-Perhaps the youngest
applicant for Carnegie hero medal
is little Freddie Smith, the five-yeaT-
old son of Sergt. f. s. Smith of the
Columbus corps of the Salvation
Army. He is credited with having
saved his playmate, Tenia Daily, a
few months younger than himself,
from drowning. The rescue, accord
ing to eyewitnesses, was dramatic.
Col. J. E. Margetts, chief secretary
for the children's Salvation Army
work in the United States, is SO inn
pressed with the story that when he
started for Pittsburgh he carried a
quantity of evidence which he will
submit to the Carnegie Hero Fund
commission on behalf of the little fell
low.
Tenia was playing on the bank of
the Scioto river on June 4 when she
lost her footing and fell in. Freddie,
who was a block away, heard her
screams and ran to the river bank as
Tenia was sinking. Although he
could not swim, he jumped into the
water without hesitation. He was up
to his neck about three feet from
where the little girl was struggling.
Fortunately her long hair floated on
the water toward him. He grasped 1t
between his tiny fingers and dragged
her to the shore.

The Beers are certainly not, for their
Robin Hood kept up national senti-
ment and nurses covert distrust and
hate not under the greenwood tree,
but under the rooftree of government,
and their Herewards lurked in no fens,

Saxons, it is true, were in great ma
jority, but opposite those pensions

language of church and state; Eng
lish, we may say, is neither today in
South Africa. Again we see the back
bone of society, loyal to the voice of
the land" and the brilliant top dress
ing proudly maintaining the tongue of
their fathers. But, then, in those
feudal days of no board schools, and
with as big a gulf between conQueror
and conquered almost as between
white man and Kafir there could be
little question Of an advanced coales-
cence or of the bilingualfsm so appar.
ent today in the educated strata of
South African society.

TRAPPED IN BURNING TREE
Chased by Bull, Farmer Has to Beat
Out Flames In Topmost
Branches.

Muskegon, Mich.-Attacked by a
bull and forced to take refuge in a
tree, which later caught fire from
burning brush, was the thrilling ex-
perience Of r. T. Lane, an Eggleston
township farmer living near here.
Lane managed to beat out the fire
in the tree. He had his eyebrows
burned off and his clothing scorched.
He climbed go feet into the tree be-
fore he was able to check the flames
that spread through the branches.
The bull kept in the neighborhood Of
the tree and Lane was unable to make
his escape for several hours.
Finally line of fire forced the bull
away from the tree and Lane was
able to descend. He fled through the
hot embers of the brush fire and had
one foot burned.

loose, and one Is liable to lose a
plume. Whenever a plume is fastened
to the hat it should be tied rather
than sewed, but several stitches are
needed as we'll as the tied thread, to
hold the plume securely.
Do not make the mistake of drawing
theNplume tightly against the hat. Let
it fall naturally. Then, TO keep it in
position, tie the thread about the rib
and then attach 1t (the thread), to the
hat, leaving the thread sufficiently
long to give the plume little play.
The whole object is to fasten the
plume in place, but in such way as
to make the fastening unnoticeable.
1t is a feature of this reasons mil
linery that a pair of plumes back to
back, or one curling within the other,
is mounted at the same point on the
hat.
One or two plumes are seen more
often than a great number. For the
season demands that the lines OF
shape must be preserved, not lost, b.
too abundant trimming.
White plumes clean and dye salts
factorily. In buying black plumes, .
good quality may be depended on for
many seasons wear But one must
select glossy and deep black ones, for
the color of these will not grow less
rich with wear. Very good plumes are
not much affected by moisture. II
they become damp hold them over the
stove or a radiator, and shake them
until thoroughly dry.

BASKETS FOR THE
HOMEMADE CANDIES
EASY TO FASHION

NOW that it has become difficult to
~ buy really good candy without pay
ing an extravagant price, those who
know how to make the delicious home
made candies can be certain of max
ing the most palatable Of gifts for
friends who haven't time or ability to
make them. It is too early to make
up candies for the holidays, but one
may prepare in advance pretty boxes
or baskets in which to place them
when they are made.
Secure at the ten cent store or
wherever you can find them the bright
little splint baskets, such as are pic
tured here. Cut and pull out the
strand of colored shavings that have
been placed in them for ornament.
Run in, instead of the shavings a rib
bon of the same width. A thin, in
expensive satin ribbon is just the
right kind for this purpose. Tie the
ribbon in a small bow at the front OF
the basket, Light green and light

FOOD ostrich feathers require the
" investment of more money than
almost any other millinery trimming
but they last much longer. They are
always in fashion and they stand
cleaning and dyeing so that the life
of a good feather extends over several
years. A handsome pair of plumes is
shown here. They are the only trim
ming required or shape, and it is a
mistake to use any other with them,
unless it Is a little band and bow Of
ribbon about the crown. This will
serve to conceal the mounting of the
feathers.
AS will be seen in the picture, the
plumes are mounted at the back of the
hat, with one falling toward the front
and the other standing almost upright
They are placed back to back.
BY buying a readymade velvet
shape the owner of plume, or Of two
or three, may mount them herself by
going about it in the right way. 1t is
usual to first sew the wire stem of
each plume to a little square or disk
of buckram. This should be about the
size of half dollar. The stems must
be sewed securely to the buckram
with strong linen thread. When the
needle is thrust through the buckram
first, leave several inches of the
thread free. After many stitches are
made (holding the plume securely to
the buckram), this free end is used to
tie with the remainder of the thread
The piece of buckram fastened in
this way to the stems of the plumes
make it possible to mount them grace
fully. When sewing the buckram to
the shape an end of thread is left free

Dress Shields.

Instead of sewing or pinning shields
in a waist, sew a narrow piece Of tape
or baby ribbon at each end Of the
shield, and sew similar pieces at the
proper distance apart in the armholes
of all your waists. The shields are
quickly tied in place, they are easily
changed In wash waists, and there are
no pins to rust or prick.

IF a diner pays his check with a

not the walters business to remind
him.
THE waiter is employed to induce
diners to come to his table, suggest
the most expensive, refuse to serve
one portion for two, and to throw ST.

domestic wines. This is enough to
keep any waiter busy, and he earns

WANTS SOCIALIST WOMAN
ON SCHOOL BOARD.

Seattle, Wash, Sunday.
Dear Comrade Shipley:
| want you to bring this (the fol-
lowing) matter up in the local We'd
nesday night. You can verify the
date. The school election, school
board member, occurs December 9Th.
The time is ripe to begin the cam
paign now. The candidate should be
nominated by the locals now, and
should begin a thorough study Of
school questions including the history
of education The election of school
officers is the most revolutionary
thing we can do and will be opposed
more bitterly than anything else.
MY idea would be to nominate wo-
man. We have never done so and we
have fine material l will be living
here from now on and cannot do much
to help the campaign except by
Pencil l will. however, contribute
Seattle news whenever possible.
If you do not care to bring this
matter up yourself, you can get some
one else to do SO. Use this letter
publicly or privately as you see fit.
Yours for the revolution,

MORE REVOLUTIONARY AC
TIVITY COMRADE PILL
ON THE JOB AGAIN.

When Conrade Pilz gets tired OF
Mukilteo, and wants to rest up bit,
he invades Everett. And when he
does there is usually something do
ing, something for the revolution.
Last weeks edition of the COM
MONWEALTH got his angora, so to
speak. And when Comrade Pilz gets
excited there is going to be some
thing doing, then and there.
So what did he do this time?
All he did was to grab a bundle OF
the COMMONWEALTH and hustle
down to the waterfront, and sold fifty
six copies at cents each before he
thought that he had done his duty.
Was this a revolutionary act, or
not?

Charleston, Wash.

Charleston, Wash.
On the evening of August %, the
writer spent very pleasant evening
at the home of Mrs. E. Blackmore, in
Bremerton, in company with number
of the Bremerton Socialists. The gath
ering was planned as farewell sur
prise to Mr. and Mrs. J. Hoover, who
have left Bremerton, for their new
home at Seattle Heights.
The rooms were prettily trimmed
with evergreens and the reddest of
red geraniums, dahlias and lilies.
Mrs. Hoover was conducted to the
house by Mrs. Callahan of Charles
ton, who had been assisting Mrs.
Hoover in her farewell preparations,
and found awaiting her the following
comrades: Mr.. and Mrs. Libby, Mr..
and Mrs. Camanga, Mr.. and Mrs. Cor
ency and son, Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore
and daughter, Mrs. Bailee and daugh-
ter Mercedes, Mrs. Armstrong, Com
rade Nelson, Comrade Martell, Misses
Lucille and Hazel Camanga, Mamie
Camanga, Freeman Callahan in addi-
ton to Mr. and Mrs. Blackmore and
family.
Though tired with the labor of pack
ing, the comrade entered heartily into
the fun of the evening and even the
delicious lunch served at II p. m, of
cake, ice cream and lemonade, could
not check the merry hum of talk which
is always heard among Socialists.
We parted at midnight, with best
wishes for our comrades future in
their new home. e. l.. A.

ABOUT THAT SATURDAY
NIGHT DANCE AT
LIBERTY HALL.

Every comrade or sympathizer who
has any dance in him or her should
make it a special point at this time to
patronize the Saturday evening dance
at Liberty hall.
The competition dance elsewhere
is being boosted and advertised to the
limit by many persons who would like
to see the Socialists loose control of
Liberty hall. And there is no way to
hold the hall for our regular porpa-
ganda meetings excepting through the
income derived from the Saturday
evening dances. If you can dance,
reader, make it point to come out
Saturday night and help to keep
things moving!
Don't let our political opponents
gloat over a closed Socialist dance
hall LET'S KEEP 1T OPEN.
