WILL THE HONEY-bEE
SETTLE THE WAR?

You will possibly be surprised to
earn that the war in Europe is con |
nected with the bee industry, but it
is. The following is from The Boys
World:
The Hague has discovered secret
long cherished in the war depart
ment-the use Of bees as messeng
ers.
No longer will the aid de camp
spur his horse through shot and shell
to carry the message to the front.
instead he will don his gloves and
mask, and, going to the portable bee.
hive, seize one OF the faithful little
insects and send the well trained
messenger through the air.
The bee, like the carrier pigeon,
guided by his marvellous instinct, re
turns to the hive from wherever he
may be liberated. Tiny dispatches,
which can be deciphered with the
magnifying ass, can be attached to
its breast.
But something better still has
! been found. BY an ingenious process
| the wings OF the tiny insect are sen
sitized, and by means of microscopic
photography the message is imprint
ed on the wing, doing away with all
extra weight.
The people of Europe are certainly
adding injury to insult when they
wish to write messages all over the
poor bee.
The bee has borne the creation Of
the world. We hear OF the Peep e
OF Jerusalem living on milk and honey
even before the advent OF Christ.
The citizens OF the United States
when they hear the word honey
think OF the sting instead. Now II
these same people were in the poor
bees place they too would resent haV'
ing to supply the whole world oil
wa king giants with honey and wax
besides what they had to gather fol
their own use. The reason that the
bee stands being made the goat Ii
not because he is doing 1t for thu
people, but because he enjoys him
self most when busy.
When a honey flow Is on, the be,
is very congenial fellow, but whcl
nectar is scarce and there are hun
dred bees to every blossom his dispo
sition changes and he becomes sur
ly, looking into every crack and cre'
ice for something sweet to CONVEX
into honey.
Mr.. Bee keeps al his pillaging m
til cold weather shuts him off, an
while on these trips anything h
comes in contact with Is stung.
And now let us beekeepe-s hop
that by the bees taking up this mes
senger work they may get back tn
peoples respect which they have los
While on their pillaginC expeditions
Also that the people OF Europe ma
learn a esson OF thrift and industr
from the little bee, go to work, sto
lighting, turn about and think NOR
II OF peace than of war.

UMBRELLA HANDLES

The borrower OF umbrellas and the
absent minded person who carris Of
her friends parasols and forgets TO
return them for an indefinite period
OF time or, perhaps, never are not
countenanced in this season Of mag.
nificent and expensive parasols and
umbrella handles.
The fad for long handles allows OF
an elaborate piece of carving IN
jade, in both the green and the green
white variety. The latter iG more
fashionable and some Of the hand
soonest designs are in bamboo leaves.
flights OF birds, lotus flowers and
strange creatures of the sea.
Another popular parasol handle is
OF real bronze carved, beaten or ham
mered into beautiful shapes and hol
lowed in the middle with a secret
lid.
Costly bronze handles, finished at
the top with nothing less than a
Chinese inkpot, appear upon umbrel-
las. Beside the pot 10 the recepta-
Gle for holding the little brush with
which John Chinaman makes his
mark. In these handles a woman
carries her smelling salts, vinai-
grette or the essence which she af
fects.
While bronze and carved jade are
the most striking OF the odd and ar
tistic parasol, and umbrella handles,
now in vogue, heavy beaten silver
giving all the appearances OF having
been hammered out by hand, is also
in great demand. Like all other
handsome handles, they are made to
be detached from one stick and put
upon another as seasons and colors
change for paraso's. The dragon fly
and the daisy or wild rose designs
are fayorites The curious have pu'
to lift the body OF the dragon ny tc
discover between the wings a little
receptacle for smelling bottle.
Wavy lines in the metal. stone OIL
wood are popular in the best han
dies, and they are arranged to give
delicacy to the background of the fig
ures carved In relief.
A fanciful top to parasol handle
is a netsuke, or Japanese charm
against evil. The charm comes J.
quaint forms OF ivory, bronze o
metal. More Of these charms arr
sold than anything else to form tn
top of a parasol handle.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-12-12

Those unholy faces, those slouching, de-
filed bodies-they did appal one! How
could any ordinarily decent, normal man
live six months with such refuse? How
ever, I'm of fairly tenacious turn.
After a grimy two weeks apprentice
ship in the home ranch pens. l was alb
ruptly sent out, in crew of four men, to
establish an overflow lamb camp some
five miles off from the main sheds.
Our herd squad consisted. besides my
self. of Eric Ericsson, an eighteen-year-
old boy named Doak and a veined-nosed,
evil-minded, rather efficient middle
aged scoundrel called Whiskey Whiskey
Flynn, if remember.
Bizarre as it may seem, in sense cap

was. in the first place, the only one of the
four who had a horse and did not drink
raw alcohol out of bottle. Bull Dorgan
may have noted these slight points He
did not put me in actual charge; he merely
addressed all his orders to me.
So we four strangers settled down to
some weeks of living together in the toler-
ably narrow quarters of that foot-hill
shack. Every day or two, fresh squalling
battalions of ewes and lambs were driven
up to us. Ten empty days passed. Then
one evening, absolutely without prelude,
a new note filed the air.

hudde of thoroughbred Merino ewes and
lambs in a pen. Bull looked me over
scowlingly for one minute then. despite
my obvious greenness, gruffly told me to
spread my blankets in the hay-barn and
turn my horse into the corral. So that
night old Grow ranged out in the Pinto
with bunch of the Swallowfork ponies,
and | slipped into membership of the
lamb-smacking crew. Also, that night l
ate my first meal-a hearty. absolutely
satisfactory ranch supper-prepared by
the stubby freckled hands of Eric Erics-
son. Good old Ericsson, honest American
Swede-but for his tough arm and inn
penetrable head, should never have
lived to tell this tale!
THAT first night on the Swallowfork l
slept joyfully. But by daylight next
morning | was up and out in the pens
with the other smackers; and by shutdown
that night was ready to rave and froth at
the sinking, bawling mass Of ewes and
lambs with the best-or the worst-of
them. Or, no; must do myself that
credit. Not with the worst The worst
of those Swallowfork lamb-hands were
just about past belief. In the dewless
chill radiance of that first dawn. | caught
a good, comprehensive look at them, and
shoulders played up and down my spine.

Once On the Summer Range

the entire outside front of our shack 1t
was single unplaned plank, twelve inches
wide; but much rubbing of sleepy over
alls had worn it smooth, and you could,
at a pinch, stretch yourself sidewise full
length along it. This night was simply
sitting, to the right of the doorway. lolled
back as well as could against the round
logs of the shack wall, smoking pipe,
fairly comfortable and serene. AT the
extreme far end of the bench to the left
of the doorway, young Doak and the
grizzled man dubbed Whiskey had drawn
away together and were huskily whisper
ing. paid no attention to them. From
the very outset, we had instinctively
paired off. Eric Ericsson and l held to-
gether against Flynn and the boy. But to-
night my mate hadn't yet finished clean
ing up after supper; so smoked alone.
Suddenly, from across the doorway,
my inattentive ears picked up word.
ITS girl, tell you'll insisted Doak.
"You bloody old red-eye fool! Don't you
think | can savvy girl?"
In his fit of snaring vehemence, the boy
had burted the thing out. l couldn't but
hear Involuntary. Whiskey Flynn Kissed
sharply at Doak, and glanced warningly
over his shoulder in my direction. Then
their tones dropped low again. In mo-
ment or two they got up and moved off.
My curiosity was piqued. A woman?
Out here on the range? Impossible! A
woman? 1t had been so long since I'd
seen woman that | wondered if could
be altogether certain of 4savvying" one
if | came upon her. But-pshaw! On
this far edge of the Pinto Basin-this
womanless alkali desert hundred and
twenty miles from the railroad!
But, after all-"It's girl, tell you'll"
If there should happen to be woman
man? Fancy-a really feminine creature
being paved over in the minds of that
pair, there, on the end of the bench For
Whiskey and Doak had now come back
to their old place. They seemed to me
to be guarded, waiting.
Presently Eric Ericsson ambled out
from the shack, wiping his wet hands on
his overalls When he had lighted his
pipe, | proposed: Lets stroll up to the
spring for bucket of water.
"Sure!' he agreed, in his hearty broad
Swedish voice.
SWEDISH; but Erie Ericsson, should
explain. wasa good American-American
born Connecticut. He had gone couple
of terms to country school in upstate
New York; entered on his mans career,
at about thirteen or fourteen, in the Penn
sylvania woods; gradually worked his
way West, till now, at thirty-five. he was
contentedly earning his forty dollars
month and keep as cook and generally
helpful man on the Swallowfork ranch.
Il thought just now heard Doak and
Whiskey discussing a girl" casually
mentioned. "There's no girl anywhere
up around here, of course?'
Ericsson started. ! thrust my face close.
There isn't, is there?' l persisted.
He began to mutter: "Oh, mister!
No! So they've smelled her out already,
then, have they? By jimmy! That's
bad, mister-that's bad!'
"Then there is grip" | exclaimed.
He went on muttering: "By jimmy! l
