you uad been there, You never did
run across "A nest along the old fence
row, or down In the orchard or alonb
the ditch, that you didn't remember
Just exactly whore II was ana IN the
majority Of cases you Carelessly left
Il weed or two standing near TO the
nest that it might be located better
And ON Sunday, Too!
When you come TO think Of IT,
"whippm' out" bumblebees nests
used to be a favorite Sunday pastime
and yourself and M your brothers
and other kids Of the neighborhood
put in the greater part Of the Sunday
Of summer time fighting them TO the
death grapple Sometimes you took
along the dogs, but not many Of the
dogs would stay until the battle was
over. There used to be one shaggy
old dog in the lot, though, that would
wade right in like Cossack, stand
his ground and snap bee after bee
TO death in his massive Jaws. There
would be dozen or more entangled
In his long hair but he first concern
ed himself with those which were
rying for his eyes Having disposed ot
! them. he would then pick out the en-
shared and irate bu2zers.
A shngle or an old clap-hoard was
the proper thing with which to fight
'em. You took the shinglc or the
clap-board and Whitfield it thin or II
| Il was already thin enough YOU whit
| tied one end small ana INTO a handle.
| II was either that or a handful Of
stiff and unyielding weeds with
which you fought SlNuney and l1d
land Bud and all the other bows used
! to "comc over" about Q o'clock sun
! dav morning and you went aft'r
| thcu A whole lot dependod on the
wcapous at hand, and each one of
vou took particular pains and pride
| in having the very best "pa ldle" You
could make. Perhaps If a certain
nest had given father a long -winded
! chase a few days before he voluutaIi-
Iv tool, a haIf-hour off and made
nnoiph naddles 10 supply every boy
for three milcs around.
