to prevent many people from keep
ing bees. Any n can soon learn to
work with bees so as TO get only an
occasional sting. No one, however,
should attempt to handle bees without
first providing a bee-hat or veil.
Smoke is also usually necessary, but
should be used sparingly. Some colo
MES can be handled without the use
of smoke, but a good smoker should
always be ready.
The bee is not a trouble hunter,
but when trouble calls at its door
it is ready to retaliate. Before open
ing a hive, a person should use 4 lit
tie smoke at the entrance and as the
cover is raised a little should be used
to drive the bees down into the hive
where they fill themselves with honey
and are then more docile and easier
to handle. The movable comb hive
is so simple that any child can go
into it and take out honey or make
any necessary examination. Always
go into the hive in the middle of the
day when they are busy collecting
honey.

Missouri has 10000 ~beekeepers, or
bee keepers ~so-called, with nearly
200, 900 stands of bees which produce
annually 100000 worth of 'honey.

ture, however, lies in the fact that it
is the most helpful of all insects in
carrying pollen for, cross-pollenizStion
Of blossoms of fruits and other crops.
Bookkeeping in Missouri is largely a
hobby. The farmers most faithful
friends, the bees, are too often left
to take care of themselves, to starve
when food is not available and freeze
in winter in some unprotected place.
When Bookkeeping in Missouri is prac-
ticed as it should be, when each farm
has a few prosperous colonies of bees
properly cared for, our honey products
will not be worth one but many mil
lion dollars.
Bookkeeping must be studied care
fully. Each colony must be kept in
prime condition, queens must be sup
planted by better ones properly
mated, swarming regulated, hives
properly shaded. room for storing
honey provided and protection given
during winter. Bookkeeping is not c

And when, a few weeks later, Wal

care Of his widowed mother, the gos-

other as much as to say, Il told you
So"
: Walter had been the unsuccessful
one of the family. His sister married
q rich lawyer in New York; his elder
brother was a successful lawyer in the
same city. But Walter had never sue
rceeded. At last his father had bought
him a ticket to Nevada-it was in the
days of the gold boom-and told him
not to let him see his face again.
Walter did not feel any particular
regret at leaving a father who had
never shown him any affection. But
his mother had cried, and that made
him feel badly-also leaving Nancy
Dayton. They had been sweethearts
once. But that was when they were
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Walter had shown
himself a ne'er-do-well.
Nobody had believed in him, and
Nancy least of all. She grew up to
be a flirt. When he told her he loved
her-the second time he came home
penniiess--she laughed in his face.
I'll win, you yet, Nancy" he an
swered, and went away.
Yes, there was one person besides
his mother who believed in Walter,
but he did not know it. That was
Elizabeth, Nancy's little sister. She
had all the faith that a child has in
one whom she instinctively recognizes
to be misjudged. But a man in love
with a young woman of twenty-three
pays scant attention to her sister of
fifteen.
And now Walter was back. And, to
his mother, he was still the boy who
was going to make SO much of his
life, though he was almost thirty. He
had been gone six years that time.

me, DEAR" she said. 1T will be hard

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee,

Many cases Of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cot
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
MY son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.

left only two thousand in insurance,
but we will do our best together"
But she looked wistfully after him
the morning after his arrival, as he
walked over to the Dayton house. She
had seen Nancy Dayton grow into a
%sullen, disconnected girl of twenty
nine. Nancy had never married. She
had refused several good chances, be-
she wanted to begin life where
her parents had left of-with a com
Portable income.
When Walter reached the door he
was astonished at the vision that he
saw before him. 1t looked like Nancy,
but it was an idealized Nancy, the
Nancy of whom he had dreamed dur
ing those lonely years in Nevada.
"Why!-this isn't Nancy" he
gssped, staring at the beautiful young
girl who stood smiling at him.
mo, I'm Elizabeth" answered the
girl, b~lushing at his frank stare of
admiration. Nancy is out this eve
ming. Won't you come In, Mr.. Jane
SOM"
The news Of Walters arrival had al
ready spread through the village and
reached the Dayton home. 1t was
we'll for him that he had not heard the
soathing remarks that Nancy had
made about him.
When he took his leave an hour
later. the young man realized that.
whatever his love for Nancy might
have been, the image that he carried
in his heart had now a striking re-
semblance to Elizabeth.
And he was bound In honor to ask
Nancy to be his wife. That was the
irony Of 1t! When he called the next
evening and met her his heart sank.
How could he ever have loved Nancy,
this woman with the affected air and
the peevish lines about her mouth?
Though his welcome was not an ef-
fusive one, Nancy was hospitable, in
virtue Of old associations. Her talk
was ~vivacious, and all about the balls
and parties to which she had leen.
She spoke Of her beaux, with a sly
glance at Walter, and lamented the
tediousness of life in a small town.
1t was not until he was about to
leave that Walter summoned up cour-
age to say what was uppermost in bis
mind.
Nancy, do you remember what /
told you last time we parted?" he
asked.
Nancy's heart beat quickly, but II
was not with love. She had not had
a proposal for six months, and she
was longing for another scalp to hang
at her girdle.
mo, Mr.. Jameson. What was it?"
she inquired archly.
That l was coming back to marry

about coming back" she answered.
But al for, the second-why. ! think
you have another guess coming. Nj.
Jameson
Walters face turned crimson. After
oil, il is not exactly pleasant to have
ene's offer OF marriage laughed to
scorn, even though one has made it
cut OF a sense of duty.
He looked into Nancy's mocking
face and said good-by. But that was
rot his last visit to the Dayton home.
On the contrary, he called frequently
after that-only it was to see Miss
Elizabeth. And sometimes words were
said which brought the color into her
fair face and a look of unutterable
happiness into her eyes.
OF course, Nancy was not slow to
see what was transpiring. She taunt-
ed Elizabeth in her sisterly manner.
Well, Elizabeth, IL you want my
CASTOR beau, of course it's all right"
she said. only he'll always be a
pauper, and If l were you l would
send him right about face without de-
lay"
That Walter had asked Nancy to
marry him since his return Elizabeth
did not know. The words stung her.
Walter was not slow to notice the
change In her manner the next time
he called.
Elizabeth, what have i done to Of
fend your" he pleaded.
You haven't offended me, Mr.. Jane
son." replied the girl. "Only-people
are saying"
What, dear?" asked Walter taking
her hand In his.
"That-that you are making love
to me because you can't get Nancy"
she faltered, and tried to run away.
But Walter caught her.
Now you listen to me-" he said,

me when l came back. But it wasn't

and pressed his lips to hers.

And Elizabeth said yes" And then
he told her the momentous secret
which was shortly to set all the town
gaping.
For 1t was really true. And when
he bought his mother the finest house
in the place, and it became known thai
he had made his fortune in the Jane

to invite him to its homes. But Wal

their preparations for the coming

NEEDLESS WASTING OF TIME
Man Who Heedlessly Interrupts Busy
Worker May Properly Be
Termed a Thief.

There are in this great world of
peculiar contradictions many men who
would never fitch another mans prop
erty, but have no moral scruples
against stealing his time.
To the busy worker time is a valu-
able commodity, minutes are reck-
oned in terms of dollars and cents.
Needless interruption of their work
therefore steals from them dollars and
cents.
Who steals another mans time, by
Longing around and engaging him
in conversation foreign to the work
in hand-often foreign to any work
that concerns either of them--is self
branded as more than a 'time thief"
He is stamped as a man whose own
time is without value; a drone who
has come idly buzzing into a hive of
workers.
When a young man needlessly dis
tracts the attention Of his fellow
workers when those fellow workers
are "ears over" in work that must be
done he steals time, not only from
the fellow workers, but from his en-
ployer as well. That time is being
paid for by his employer.
Furthermore he is stealing from his
fellow workers a measurable amount
of their efficiency by hampering them
in turning out their work.
And it reacts upon himself. His
employer, observing, says: "This
young man not only frivols instead OF
trying to keep busy, but interferes
with the work Of others. / cannot af-
ford to keep him in my employ. He is
stealing from me--doubly ~stealing!"
II a young man is not a worker with
those whose time he steals, but mere
ly an idle visitor, he Is an industrial
porch climber, none the less a time
thief.

The worker bees do all the manual

H0IFFURE caps are almost a neces-
~ sity for those light-footed young
wopen who dance the airy and the
rather acrobatic steps of the modern
dances.
Here are two from earlier Of Paris
that are attractive and becoming to
the youthful faces they are pictured
with, and even more becoming to older
faces that belong to equally energetic
dancers.
The foundation of the first cap is
Of silk messaline or other light weight
and highly lustrous fabric. Over it a
rather heavy lace cap is placed. A
rosette made of tinsel petals and a
tinsel cord finish the decoration.
The cap is confined to the head by
an elastic cord, which adjusts it firmly
to place.
The second cap is made of a heavier
silk, with a spangled net draped with

fact, a sort of oriental turban which
sets close to the head and falls, with
much grace, to the nape of the neck.
1t is impossible to keep the hair
confined during the buoyant steps and
frolicsome springing about in which
the new dances abound. These little
caps have proved the best solution to
the difficulty Of keeping the head neat
looking at the dancing party.
There are many other designs in
caps, made Of beads or of tulle or of
beaded and spangled materials. In
fact, the designs are almost as
GUS as the steps that are danced.
There is no limit to the latter; every
one invents one for himself and his
partner and presents it to the devotees

as a painter takes in a masterpiece Of
his art. JULIA BOTToMLEY.
