BRETSCH'S BEES
BID HIM BY-BY
And School Principal
Truck Farmer Has DObbs
Ferry Police on Hunt.

The six policemen Of Dobbs Ferry
paced the streets with hurried tread
and anxious gaze last night. Some des-
perado had fouted them by stealing a
swarm of bees, hive and all, from Mo-
hican Park, and Captain Patrick Cos
tello had given the word that miscreant
| and bees must be found.
II. l.. Bretsch, whose bees the insects
would be had not the thief violated
the park, strode the piazza of his home
in Hastings with quick, nervous steps,
breaking of his sentry-go at brief in
teryals TO telephone Captain Costello
and demand tidings Of the bees. Mr..
Bretsch had set his heart on those bees.
Mr.. Bretsch is principal Of Public
School as, in New York. His fame as
an agriculturist, however, far exceeds
in the Locust Hills section of Hastings
his pedagogical renown. When he
boards the train for the city all ordi-
nary talk OF beans. peas. lettuce, eggs
and other topics that enliven the life
Of the commuter is dropped. and the
gossips question him deferentially as
10 the feed he is using now and his
method of heading. For the peas, the
Rocks of Mr.. Bretsch outdo the seed
and poultry catalogues.
When a man like that decides 70 take
up bee culture it is a sad blow to have
his bees stolen before he even sets
eye on them.
It was early in the spring that Mr..
Bretsch decided 10 90 in for bees. He
spoke to some OF his neighbors about
it, and several eagerly offered swarm
Of their choicest. Mr.. Bretsch perused
the encyclopedias in his own library
and various technical magazine articles
before naming the happy man whose
bees he should select. About a month
ago he notified his friend that the
choice was made.
From the very beginning however,
fate seemed opposed to his project.
The weather was cold and raw. Day
after day it rained. The bees obsti-
nately refused to swarm. Other and
more plebeian insects made half-heart-
ed attempts, but the artistocrats of the
hive stuck to their snug little home.
Saturday evening, mellow and golden,
brought them 20 the verge Of departure,
however. Mr. Bretsch, warned that the
wanderlust was upon them, hastened
10 set hive of the most approved de-
sign upon the green of Mohican Park,
conveniently adjacent to the democile
of his bees.
They swarmed The glad tidings
reached Mr. Bretsch within five min
utes after he got home. Later in the
evening he was informed that they
were snugly ensconced in their new
home. The dreams of Mr.. Bretsch were
rosy. He awoke with a smile and bare
ly tasted his new strawberries. his lus-
cious cream and the fresh Plymouth
Rock eggs that adorned his breakfast
table.
Straightway he sped TO Mohican Park.
A slight depression in the sod showed
where the luxurious hive had rested.
Bees and hive were gone.

ability and a guarantee of pensions to
professors widows will be made BY the
foundation.
Of the admitted facts of the old
plan, Mr.. Pritchett says:
Under existing rules, a college
teacher acquires a claim for pension
only after twenty-five or thirty years
Of service. This means that the typi-
cal teacher is between ffty-five and
sixty years old before he has any pro-
lection for himself or his family.
"The fundamental defect lies in the
assumption that free pensions for col
lege teachers would be permanently
justified. In the light of ten years ex-
perience, this assumption seems TO resi-
upon a defective social philosophy.
No permanent advantage will accrue 70
any profession by lifting from the
shoulders Of its members load which,
under moral and economic laws, they
ought TO bear.
"Study seems to show conclusive!y y
that there will develop in the long run
= tendency 20 use the pensions as an
Offset to higher salaries for teachers,
so that free pension is likely 10 be
paid for by him who receives II at a
higher rate than II actually costs.
Thus an instructor at $1,000 year
who receives an offer OF SlS00 from
another college is induced to remain
where he is, under the expectation OF
d pension thirty years after"
Speaking Of its present system OF
pensions, in a report made public two
years ago. the Foundation said:
Pensions are justified upon two
grounds: first, those of larger So
cial Justice; second, as a necessary
condition to an efficient social system" "

Joshua, There is a noise OF war in
our camp tonight"
Selfish politicians have brought on
this war" said the speaker. 1t is
true enough that the Mexicans have
released the seventeen troopers, but
we must not forget the forty-odd that
were killed. We must intervene 20
save Mexico if the present situation
continues on the border, but u Mexico
will insure the safety Of American
citizens we will cooperate. We were
eager for war until we saw our own
men marching in khaki, and then we
thought better. We should have war
