SMOKING A BEE CITY

Bees are very brave little creat- ures and are frightened by nothing in the world except smoke and the smell of carbolic acid. When We
 wish to open the hive and to ex- amine the combs, we must first puff in little swoke at the door. or dinary tobacco smoke would do quite well, but we more often use rolled up piece of brown paper, or some old rag, which is allowed to smoider They are placed inside a tin which lis fixed to a pair of bellows. and bv working the bellows with our hand we are able to puff out any .ouantitv of smoke from the nozzle with which the tin is fitted. This is done to frighten the bees and not to stuperfy them, as most people think As soon as the smoke reaches them they rush to the storehOuses in order to take in provisions, for they think some terrible calamity is about to occur. They know that
 they would starve if they were forced to leave the hive without a supply of food. and so by filling their honey sacs they provide them selves with food to last at least a day or two. Though the bees are greatly frightened by the smoke, they have no intention of deserting the city they have built with so much labor. unless it is absolutely neces- sary; so after taking in supplies they wait to see what is going to happen While all this is going on we may look into the hive and eX- anime the combs and after doing so,
 the roof is replaced, the smell of smoke leaves the hive and the bees settle down again. The honey in their honey sacs is put back in the storehouses. the work goes on as usual throughout the bee ctty-From Bees Shown to the Children, by Ellison Hawks.

WHY DO WE NOT SHOUT FOR JOY

Robert Louis Stevenson used to sit a night on the platform of his house at Silverado, and listen to the song of the crickets and wonder why these creatures were so happy, and what was wrong with man that he also did not wind up his days with an hour or two of shouting. -J ohm Kelman

1OUISE'S POVERTY
 BARED IN BERLIN SUIT

BERLIN. Germany.-SOme interest ing and perhaps amusing disclosures as to the financial straits of Princess Louise of Belgium when in Berlin three or four years ago are expected to be made in a case shortly to be tried before the courts here.
 The accused in the case is 2 Countess Rischer von Treuberg, now aged 42 who will be charged with fraudulent dealing and usury in con nection with transactions in which she acted as intermediary for the princess.
 Among other possible piquant in ciGents. evidence will be given of stay at the Kaiserhof, leading hotel where Princess Louise of Belgium was given accommodation and en- tertainment to the value of $3, 7S4 On this credit being exhausted, she had tC pay the hotel each day before dln- ner time sum of $100 on penalty of immediate eviction in case of failure to pay.
 The result was that the princess friend, Lieutenant Mattachich, and her private secretary had to engage in financial quest each day to pro vide the necessary funds. These ap- pear tc have been procured in most cases on the princess notes of hand.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.- Giving
stage fright and headache as his ex-
cuse, William Winfield formerly
colored messenger in the office of
John D., Archbold, admitted to the
Clapp Investigating committee today
that he had made mis-statements in
his testimony yesterday regarding the
famous Archbold letters. WINFIELD
today said he was wrong in telling
about the letters having been taken
from the Standard Oil files. There
was one telegram, three patches of
letters and two copy books, five deliv-
cries in all, he made to a newspaper
office. The first batch was taken by
lStumph when Wingfield returned to
the office for his keys and found
Stumph there. He could not recall
the contents of these letters nor the
signatures but thought they were from
Penrose, Quay and Foraker. He
thought two letters were taken the
first time and his share Of the money
was 1888. Wingfield said he had been
instructed to get letters which passed
between the Standard Oil company
and members of congress. The second
time about four letters were taken.
His share this time was $500. In the
next lot there were three or five let
ters and he got one-third of $1,000.
The copy books were taken on the last
trip. He said he did not know wheth-
er Stumph was dividing equally with
him. but had to take his word for it.
,Wingfield said the letters were taken
from Mr. Archbold's desk.

ARRESTS MADE ON
JURY TRUE BILLS
Henry G. Warman and Fred
HERS Charged with En-
bezZlement.

Indictments were returned against
Henry c.. Warman and Fred HERS by
the grand jury today charging them
with embezzlement, in that for the
past two years they have been de-
frauding the local street car company
by selling tickets which belonged to
the company.
HERS Is said to have received the
tickets from Warman and sold them
to prominent citizens and merchants
in the city. Prosecutor Keller believes
that HERS is the instigator Of the
plan. Charges of receiving stolen
property were placed against Heirs
while a special statute of the state law
provides for the prosecution of any
person defrauding a street car com
pany. Warman will be prosecuted on
this charge.
The penalty for conviction of this Of
fense is Imprisonment from one to
five years. HERS implicated other
men here of doing the same work he
has been doing it Is said. Though he
admitted before the grand jury that he
was guilty of receiving stolen property
and knew it was obtained dishonesty,
he said this afternoon that he merely
used the tickets for his own personal
use and did not sell them.
According to the T. H, and E trad
ton officials, the stealing has been 60
ing on for the past two years. The
men were caught by Detective A. r
Owens of the company.
Roth man have haap p1aced 1p6ay
arrest. HERS was unable to give bond
of $500 and will be detained until he
does so. Warman gave bond.

A Singular System Employed
IN the Distribution of Booze

two holes in a fence and after giving
a signal bottle would be placed be-
fore one of the holes. The person
selling could easily see his customer
but the customer could not see who
gave out the liquor. Many times if
the customer was not known the sig
nal would be disregarded. The second
hole in the fence was used by the con-
sumers to return the bottles.
The fact that in this instance the
person distributing the liquor could
not be seen may be a hard case TO
prosecute. Nothing but circumstan-
tial evidence can be found to justify a
conviction, 1t is said

Booze was distributed in very

The witness admitted that he got
liquor in Centeryille in more than one
place. Whiskey was all that could be
obtained in town though there was a
place south of where the interurbans

the customer was furnished liquor
without even seeing the man who sold
it to him was explained. There were

competitive tariff are more easily
understood than the words a tarlft
for revenue only. \ competitive
tariff is one which gives the Ameri-
cans the AmeriC an market SO long
as they sell at fair prices. but would
let in foreign products if Americans
undertake to gouge Americans. A
competitive tariff would in practice
be "a tariff for revenue The reve-
nue. can be increased more frequent
" by reducing rates than by in
creasing them.
The present tariff, IL thoroughly
overhauled. could be made to pro-
duce a great deal more revenue and
at the same time not cost the tax
payers one-fourth OF what they now
pay, for under the present system
where one dollar goes into the led
eral treasury four or five dollars go
into the pockets Of the tariff barons.
The rates in a new bill or new
bills should be fully as low as the
rates in the bills which we passed
during this congress, and in some
cases lower.
.All the talk about the democrats
wanting to injure business is abso-
lutely preposterous.
what we want to do is to give
every man an equal opportunity IN
the race CT life, and not pamper
few at the expense OF many. That
plan would foster every legitimate
industry in the land and injure none.
That is one way in which congress
can aid in reducing the exceedingly
high cost of living, which is really
the most pressing. vexatious, and
important problem with which we
have to deal. that the people de-
mand is cheaper food, cheaper
clothing, cheaper necessarles OF lie
generally, and any cuts in tariff rates
which do not accomplish that are
not worth the trouble and labor OF
making.
THE revision ought to be made
carefully, scientifically, and in har-
mony with democratic promises.

ruary at the end. In .542 B. c. Feb
ruary was given its present place. At
that time the months had twenty-nine
and thirty days alternately, so that
che year had 345 days; to make this
more fortunate under the old super
stition that luck lies in odd num-
bers," one day was added. The moon
makes a revolution in about twenty

nations form period of 1854 days. To
get the civil calendar even with the
solar year Numa ordered All addition
al month to be inserted every second
year Letween the 23rd and oath Of
February, consisting Of twenty-five
and twenty-three days alternately.
Thus four years contained 1,465 days
and the mean length of the year was
1854 days. This was one day too
much. From an effort to adjust mat
tiers more confusion resulted.
Politicians Of that day were no less
prone to manipulate affairs to their
own advantage than they are today.
Every third period Of eight years was
to contain only three intercaiary
months instead of four. This would
reduce the mean length of the year to
1854 days, but the care of the calen-
dar was left with certain officials with
discretion to intercalate more or few
err days. TO prolong the terms of Of
flee or to hasten elections the ques-
ton of the calendar was ignored.
When julius Caesar came into power
he found the civil equinox differed
from the astronomical by three
months. Winter months had been car
ried back into autumn and autumn
into summer.
Sosigenes, an old mathematician
who was more familiar with the stars
than any man of his time, came to
Caesars rescue and devised plan
to put an end to the disorder. The
civil year was regulated entirely by
the sun and was fixed at 1854 days.

fourth year as we have it now. The
original plan was to have thirty-one
days each for the first, third, fifth,
seventh, ninth and eleventh months
and the other months thirty, except
