BUM WAS A VERY
AsTUTE OLD BEE
He 0utIived Thirty Generations
and Loafed on the Job All
the Time.
SLAIN FOR STEALING
Had Too Much Sense to Work Him
self to Death, But Finally Fell In
With Bad Company and Was
Caught

Chicago.-F. l. Stuebling OF West
Pullman has been keeping bees for
years and years. Mr.. Stuebling is =
great student of bee life and knows
the little merchant of the sweet as do
few. He told the following about a
bonny rover of the clover patches to
the beekeepers in session In Chicago.
recently. as published In the Advance
Mr.. Stuebling may be nature faker
Of the insect world. but the following
is very interesting reading:
Bum was born" began Mr.. Stueb-
ling, Sin 1894. He outlived 80 genera
tions OF ordinary bees and. except for
an untimely death, might still be buzz
ing around the old hive. / noticed
him first one warm, sunny day when
the rest of his relatives were out gath
ering honey. Bum wasn't. Instead
he was standing kidding with the
guards at the front of the hive.
He had hooked body and long nat
wings. You know an old beekeeper
can recognize bees Just as cowman
recognizes cattle. It's easy when you
learn how. After that first look at
Bum l got interested in him and used
to keep track of his goings and COM
ings. They were worth watching.
The average bee travels a mile a
minute. Bum never went faster than
ten miles an hour unsil he got within
ten feet Of the hive. Then he speeded
up and shot down to the door so fast
you couldn't see him. The average
bee works himself to death in five
weeks. Fact! or course. it doesn't
make much difference. because the
queen is busy laying eggs at the rate
OF 1000 day, SO there are always
plenty of young fellows on the way.
with the first spring flowers, they
go on the wing, and by the middle OF
June the most of them are dead.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Mrs. Eliza-
beth Bonemont. known throughout the

further improvements. The money
contributed by the States does not only
build more roads. it makes better those
that other money builds.
At the present time there are in the
United States 20,741 miles Of roads
improved either wholly or in part by
State aid. This is nearly the mile
age of the French routes nationales,
the system Of great National highways
which is the envy of every civilized
nation. The routes n~ationales are, Of
course, only a small part of the total
mileage of France, where practically
every road of Importance is an i'm
proved road. and France is a vastly
smaller country, both in area and in
population than the United States, 50
that his comparison is not, in itself,
very fattering to our progressiveness.
1t shows, however, that we have az
least made a beginning. Of the 2,226.-
S42 miles Of roads in the United States,
22S,774 miles, or approximately 10 per
cent, are classed as improved.

THE PIPE.

Talk now comes that the cost of
pipes is going up because the manu-
f~acturers import the meerschaum from
Austria. the amber from Germany and
the brter root from France. This may
hold good in so far as it refers to the
two first mentioned articles of import
but we do net apprehend any cause for
a rise In the price of brier-root pipes
a large proportion of the French
bE1er-root pipes sold in this countr1
is made of native North Carolina lau
rel roots. The laurel root industry If
the mountain counties Of the State
recently assumed considerable import
ance. The roots are sawed into
blocks of convenient size and shipped
to the pipe makers and from these the
country has been pretty well stocked
with fine French brier roots. ALI nee
essary to make the deception COM
plete was to give the pipe the brier-.
root trade mark, just as in the case of
refined cotton oil it was but necessary
to put an olive oil label on the bot
tie. As long as the supply of North
Carolina laurel root holds out there
should be no excus for a raise in the
tariff on the brier-root pipe.-Char-
llotte Observer.

MRS. SANDIFER, LIBRARIAN.

Appointed by City Commissioners;
History of Carnegie Library.
The city commissioners at a special
meeting Saturday light appointed Mrs
Norma Bryson Sandifer as librarian
for the new Carnegie library, fixing the
monthly salary at S25.
While Mrs. Sandifer has had no ex
perience In a library the commission
ers considered her admirably suitabl
for the position in view of her ef1ci
ency in the work that she has beer
following. For a number of year Mrs.
Sandifer has devoted the greater por-
ton of her time to bookkeeping and
s~tenographic work. About six years
ago she filled a position in the Office
of the French Broad Hustler and af-
ter that spent three years at bookkeep-
ing and stenographic work in Char
lotte. During the past summer she.
conducted a service stenographic
Office in Hendersonville.
The institution was opened Monday
with Miss Emma Sample in charge
during the illness of Mrs. Sandifer's
child. The hours for opening and
closing will soon be determined by tho
following library committee named by
the board of commissioners: Commits
.sioners Freeze and Ful1bright, Miss
Bessie Steedman, Mrs. Barnwell ard
the librarian.
Mrs. Sandifer will, as soon as the
health of her child, permits, enter the
library and index and systematize 1t so
as to facilitate the handling of the
books and the furnishing of informa-
ton with the greatest possible con-
ven1ence.

BUILDING MANY GOOD ROADS.
EOw the Government and States En-
courage Road Construction.

EOW the Government and States En-
courage Road Construction.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES $685..
100000 was spent last year on public
roads In the United States, according
to statistics prepared by the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
nine years, therefore, the increase has
teen over $50 per cent.
This awakening on the part of the
country to the Importance of good
roads has. experts say, been due in
great measure to the principle OF
State aid to counties and other local
communities. New Jersey began the
movement in 1891 when it passed its
State highway law. Massachusetts
and Vermont followed a year later,
but for the most part the other States
were slow to move. In 1904 only Is
had State highway departments; to-
day there are only six that have not.
In 1913 the individual States appro-
rriated a total of $3S. 755, O8S to sup
.pIement local expenditures.
The value of this State aid is, how
ever not to be measured by the fig
ures alone, for the bulk of the money
comes, and always must come, from
the counties and townships. Thus, IN
1912, the cash outlay by counties. dis
tricts and townships, was $1S7,493, 1856.
Complete figures for 1913 are not ye-
available, but it is safe to estimate the
sum at approximately $751; ,000, 600. To
this must be added some SIS, OO0, 900 to
represent the value of the labor con-
tributed instead of cash in districts
where this practice prevails. Last
year, THEREFORE, local communities
contributed, in round numbers, one
hundred and sixty millions of dollars.
as against appropriations from State
treasures of $3S,755,OS The true
Importance of this SS millions lies in
the fact that it mean expert supervi-
sion Of the expenditure of a consider
able portion of the vest sum of two
hundred millions. When each county
built as it chose and when it chose,
the services of trained engineers were
Usually out of the question. There
was little opportunity to test innova-
lions. little advance in the science of
rcad-building, and-there was also diff
Guilty In aroasing each county indivfd-
ualIy to do it's best to improve condi-
lions within its own limits. State aid
has changed all this. The best en-
cheering skill is available for all
works of Importance, there is CO.
operation and a constant stimulus to

tract1Ve In appearance and admirable
IN its arrangements. Upon entering the
door a short flight of steps leads to
the main floor where several tables
are arranged for the convenience of
the visitors. Ample light is afforded.
A sufficient number Of book cases
have beeh Installed to hold a large
volume of books. From the main en-
trance to the building a set of steps
leads to the lower floor, where two
large furnaces have been installed for
heating the building. Here are foxnd
two toilet rooms and a large assembly
room provided with lights and chairs.
Folding or sliding doors separate this
part of the building into two rooms,
making suitable quarters for lectures
or meetings. It is not known what
arrangements can be be made for pub
lie meetings where about 100 people
can gather, but the room is. considered
an admirable place.
History of Building.
The following brief history of the
library, said to be the only one given
be of interest:
Charles French Toms of Asheville,
formerly Of Hendersonville, took the
question of a library up with his
friend S. S. Everett of Ohio, a close
friend to Andrew Carnegie. Their eff
forts resulted in the donation4from Mr..
Carnegie and Mr.. Toms father, Capt.
M. C. Toms, made a gift Of the lot on
which the building stands.
Captain Toms, Brownlow Jackson
end w. C. Rector were named as a
committee to perform those things
necessary to erecting and euipping the
building.
The library shower given On last
Thursday was attended by showers of
rain and the results were not what had
been expected, although few books
and>some money were collected.
