bum" WAS A SMART BEE.
He Loafed on the Job and Managed
to Live for Four Years.


F.. L. Stueging, of West Pullman,
near Chicago, has been keeping bees
for years and years. Mr.. Stuebing
is great student Of bee life, and
knows the little merchant of the
sweet, sweet as do few. He told the
following about bonny rover of the
clover patches to the bee-keepers in
session in Chicago recently, as pub
lished in a big city daily.
Mr.. Stuebing may be a nature fax
er of the insect world, but the fol-
lowing is very interesting reading:
Bum was born," began Mr..
Stuebling, ''in 1894. He outlived
thirty generations of ordinary bees,
and, except for an untimely death,
might still be buzzing around the old
hive. l noticed him first one warm,
sunny day, when the rest of his re-
latives were out gathering honey.
Bum wasn't. Instead he was stand
ing kidding with the guards at the
front of the hive, looking as if he
didn't have a care in the world. 1t
struck me as peculiar, and I sized
him up.
He had a hooked body and long
fiat wings. You know an old bee
keeper can recognize bees just as a
cow-man recognizes cattle. It's easy
when you know how. After that
first look at Bum l got interested
in him, and used to keep track of
his goings and comings. They were
worth watching. The average bee
travels mile minute. Bum never
went faster than ten miles an hour
until 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! Of course, it doesn't make
much difference, because the queen
is busying laying eggs at the rate of
1000 a day, so there are always
plenty of young fellows to take his
place. In September, when the flow
ers are beginning to die, the bees
which happen to be alive start TAX
ing things easy, the queen quits lay
ing eggs and by the first of October
there are about 10000 bees left to
the average hive. With good luck
nine-tenths of them will live through
the winter, hardly moving wing.
Their only job is to take care of the
brood-usually about 1000.
With the first flowers, though,
they go on the wing again, and by
the middle of June the most of the
10000 are dead. 1 might add that

STREET SPRINKLING in this
city does not seem to be entirely
satisfactory 1t isn't cons an I

territory. The city should control
this service, and make it more ex-

only generally disagreeable, but it
is also sn expensive nuisance to
shopkeepers. On the more thickly
populated residence streets the dust
is also an uncomfortably prominent
nuisance A street sprinkling Sys,

THE MURDER of four "gun-
men" in New York was officially
performed Monday to atone for the
murder Of the gambler Rosenthal
The murder of Rosenthal was re-
suit of the hatred between two
gangs of gamblers. The murder of
the four gunner was cold.blooded
slaughter, la Mexico, in accord
ance with the law which is meant
to prevent murder and other crime.
New York allowed influences to
surround the lives of these young
men which, from their earliest youth,
associated them with crime. The
law could find this no excuse, how
ever, for a prison sentence in an
attempt at reform. The gunner
had learned their lesson of crime,
and learned it we'll, and for this
they were murdered at dawn Mon

ECONOMISTS FOR THE PEOPLE

We believe that store which
recognizes moral business code is
factor in the up-building of the
business life of the city in which it
is located and that instead of Great
ing destructive C m p e t i n
against other stores in the town, it
is helpful to them through the con-
fdence that has been added in the
minds of the people who trade in
that city. A few of the rules incor-
porated in our business policy aud
strictly adhered to are: Strictly
one price "-you buy at our store at
the same price as your neighbor;
money refunded cheerfully;" Civ
ing the best possible merchandise
at the least possible price right at
the beginning of the season and not
loading our goods with exorbitant
prices early in the season and de-
pending on fictitious sales to dupe
the people with later on" a guaran-
tee in our store is an obligation"
if we buy for less we will sell to
you for less;" no misrepresenta
ton of values;" courteous, square,
broad minded treatment of our Gus
toners" To live up to these rules,
mark true to the line in every detail.
Also we call our store The store
with a conscience. We live up to
that, too. We also believe Chick
ems come home to roost.''

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK

has during the years of its life here
tried In various ways to do two
things:
FIRST to impress upon people, es-
pecially the young men, the neces-
sity, in order to be successful, of
spending less than they earn. If a
man earns salary of 100000
yearly and spends it all he is a fail
ure. He is a spendthrift now and
will become pauper late in life
when his earning powers are i'm
paired. Such habit is az ainst an
applicant for any position of respon-
sibility.
Secondly, that a successful man
carries bank account. In these
days man who has no bank con-
nection is a poor man Howevar
worthy it is hard for such man to
get credit. Independent of any
selfish purpose we rejoice in the
success of any young man who has
the evidence of his prosperity. if
it is true, as Booker T. Washington
says to the colore6 man, that a
negro who is property owner is
seldom seen in the courts, that it is
the improvident classes that COM
NIT the crimes and fill the jails of
the country is it not also true that
the white people follow along the
same lines?
AS a national banker | plead
guilty to an alliance with the men
who succeed. The man who sue
ceeds is first of all the man of char
acter. That is necessary and inn
portant asset in obtaining a credit
standing at bank. If you do not
show a disposition to make good
the promises made to bank do not
complain if you cannot borrow
money there. A standing with the
banks of this country helps a man
to success and every young man
ought to know it.

people believe that because a mer

necessarily do business in a small

they do in the big city stores. This

GOOD REASON FOR
PROSPERITY

"How do you explain it?" I ask
ed.
"Well," said Jim, "it's this way.
Some years ago the farmers
around here began to get the mail
order habit. They all had a cat
alogue of mail order house at
home and read it more than they
did their Bibles. All of them had
their experience in buying cheap
stuff at cheap prices.
"But they're a pretty wide-a-
wake bunch and some of them fin
ally woke up and called a confab
of some of the leading merchants
and talked it over. The merchants
were on their jobs and instead of
being sore, they looked the matter
in the face and made the PROPOSE
ton to the farmers that if they
would buy at home and in as large
quantities as they would of a mail
order house and pay cash, they
would see that the prices were no
higher, quality considered.
A NATURAL RESULT
"The result is that not only the
people in the town but the farmers
themselves around here are about
the most prosperous bunch you
need to know.
HEorro uoI11nc ord foxr7~o
ty values have increased stead
lily from year to year. Rents are
good and taxes are low. Of
course, this is made possible from
the fact that many improvements
are made and that the taxable
property value is large, which nat
urally means low percentage of
taxation for each one. And, best
of all, find that the young folks
when they come to the age when
in most communities they are
leaving home for the big city, are
staying here and working the old
folks farm or working in the store
at home where they receive better
pay and far better treatment than
they would in the city.
A GOOD TOWN TO LIVE IN
"There's plenty of entertain
ment, too. You saw that theat-
rical company just getting off the
train. Well, they don't usually
! make these tank towns but they
say that this town is one best one
on the circuit and they would
rather pass up many others sever
al times the size of this one. More
than this, the town is increasing
in population, for people coming
in to visit find that it is a live
proposition, that the people are
pleasant to deal with and in 4
| social way, and, of course, when
new families come in, it means new
money, also and larger markets
| created for the farmers produce
and the merchants goods. Yes, |
am told on good AUTHORITY that
there is very little mail order
| buying done in this town or sur
rounding country now. That is the
reason, old boss, that this town is
growing and, let me tell you, if
ever move my family, this burg is
going to have first consideration.

there is not much danger to the local
third leaguers from any other team in
the league.
Some of Hank O'Day's pitchers
could put in several mornings when
they get back home learning to field
their positions. Failure in this line
yesterday was the direct cause of the
loss Of the first game to the Phil
lies. HUMPHREYS was pitching in the
twelfth, and failed to handle three
successive hunts.
The winning pitchers are the boys
who can field their positions. Once
let the opposition get wise to their
weakness, and the stuff is off. A flock
of safe bunts do more to unsettle
a pitcher than anything else, and then
it is a small task for the opposition
to wade in and plug his offerings to
the far territories.
kniseIey displaced Schultz in left
during the second game. He failed
to hit safely, but cracked the pill
solidly, being robbed of homer with
the bases full by remarkable one
hand catch by CraVath.
Whether KniseIey will get the reg
ular assignment is still undecided.
He may be used solely against south
paw pitchers, Schultz going to work
when a Highlander faces the Cubs.
Vaughn pitched exceIIentIy to win
the afterpiece. Tim poled two hits
per game, and each wallop doomed in
the scoring.
