ZIMMERMAN.

!
in town last Wednesday evening. Fol
several days several persons hac
passed remarks to the effect that they
had succeeded in lining up bee tree
and expected to have winters sup
ply of fine honey. On that night as il
happened all had made arrangements
to hive the bees and in some peculiar
manner they all seemed to have the
same tree. Promptly in the early
part of the evening, as though it had
been previously arranged, the follow
ing persons gathered on the school,
house grounds: w. R. HURT, C. A.
Stillman, j. M. Cook, John Looney, En-
gene Lowell and Billy Walker, bringing
with them tubs, wash boilers, pals
tin cans and cups in which to put the
| honey. No one seemed to think it
strange that all were going the same
way until they reached the school
grounds, when they seemed to realize
that all were bent on the same errand
and here, when in the sight of the
precious bee tree, beheld Harry Pratt
with saw working with might and
main to cut that tree down. It was
the prize they we're all seeking and
they had to acknowledge their defeat.
Pratt, after a half hours strenuous
labor, completed the work. On ex-
tracing the honey he found that there
was such bounteous supply that it
could all be put into a pint jar. Pratt
felt his work was not repaid, while
the rest Of the bunch were so discour-
aged they wanted to hire a dray to
haul their utensils home again. So
much for the bee liners.
