UNHAPPY FATE OF DRONES
Few Indeed Are Their Hours Of En-
joyment and Sad the End That
Awaits Them All.

Drones are usually looked upon as
lazy. useless creatures. They never
do any work, but are fed by the work
er bees on the best the hive can af-
ford, and this in a season of the year
when the workers are busiest for "a
hours day with the gathering and
curing of honey. Why do tho bees
treat them with such respect in the
busy harvest time? The reason is
that the bees are raising a number of
young queens at this time, for the fu-
ture generation. The queen is des-
tined to be the mother of all the bees
reared in the hive for the next year
or two. She is the only one in the
hive that can lay eggs. and she win
some day lay them at a rate of from
two to four thousand a day. The
drones are the male bees raised at the
same time with the queens From
their midst the virgin queen will some
day select her mate. Without them
she could not attain maternity, held
by the bees in greatest honor. For
this reason they are treated royalty
until the wedding trip of the queen.
When she returns widow, leaving
her drone-mate usually the most per-
sistent of all suitsEsl dead in the
field, the bees make short work of the
remaining drones. They seize them
by the neck and throw them out OF
the hive bodily to die of hunger in
the midst of plenty.-Francis Jaeger.

Col. Gardner is booming himself

We don't know just what merit
the land bank plan has, it may
be good or it may be bad; but as

made a medium for the attain

Itappears the Legislature will
raise the passenger fare maxi
mum to two and a half cents per
mile. To this increase there is
I pretty general assent on part
Of the public, which indicates
that the public is not so serious
ly artagonistic to the railroads
rs is frequently intimated. The
half cent increase, if it is estab
lished, means that the travelling
public will receive 20 cents less
transportation for every dollar
it spends in railroad fares. On
the other hand it will mean that
the railroads will be given an ar
bitrary raise of twenty per cent
in their passenger revenue for
the same service they are now
performing for two cents. Any
business man or intelligent farm
er will quickly conceive what
this means. Take the merchant,
for instance, who may be guild
ing his business precariously
clear of the rocks of failure in
these days of trade depression,
it would be a happy outcome of
his troubles if he could get a law
which would increase his re-
ceipts 20 per cent without any
advance in cost. And the farm
er, how would he like q law that
would add 20 cents to every
dollars worth of his products
brought to market. The rail
roads want a three cent maxi
mum, but we imagine they will
be quite happy with the two and
a half-cent rate-when they get

never menaced social welfare in
anything like the degree that it
is menaced by the liquor habit,

look with complacency upon the

One Christmas game that is as old
as the records Of games is usually
known by the name Of Lively Tom
A small stick is lighted at one end and
allowed to burn for few minutes IN
til, when the fame Is extinguished,
there remains lively glowing point.
The players being ranged In a circle,
the stick is passed from hand to hand.
Zach player before handing the stick
to his neighbor must repeat the words,
Toms alive" So soon as the words
are uttered the next player must re-
cetve the stick offered to him. The
unlucky one who has Tom die in bis
hands must pay forfeit. The most
convenient forfeit for this game Is that
the one who Is the victim should sub.
init to wearing a mustache or eye
brows drawn on the face by the charred
end Of the stick itself.

The pleasantest, most convenient
and most scientific method for the
treatment Of catarrh is Hyomei.
Simply put few drops of Hyomei in
the inhaier that comes with every
complete package and then breathe its
air for few minutes, four times
day.
It seems remarkable that so simple
a way Of treating catarrh will effect
such quick reliet, but the most impor
tant discoveries of science have al
WAYS been the simplest. By breath
ing Hyomei in this way every particle
of air that enters the air passages OF
the throat and head and goes into
the lungs is charged with a healing
balsam that kills the germs and bacilli
of catarrh and soothes and allays all
irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show an Improvement and in short
time there should be no further trou-
bic from catarrh. It's action is rapid
and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei
