MONEY IN BEES.

A lady who, when asked by friend whom she was visiting if she would like to see their apiary, replied that she didn't believe she would, as she didn't care for monkeys.
 Some people consider the keeping of bees not only unattractive but small busineSsg yet with modern methods and equipment, and little attention occasionally, it would be difficult to find an occupation yielding a better profit for the amount invested.
 Rev. A. B. Crichton and Sam Hitch cock are the local experts in bee. .ology, and to prove that they know their business we will state that from one colony the Reverend has harvested 96 pounds of honey this season, and Sam. has taken 94 pounds from one of his hives. Although MT. Crichton has not marketed all of his honey, Sam. soll all that came from this particular colony, and the receipts were SIS. SO. AS the original investment in this case was less than $600, which includes bees, hives and all material, the result over 300 per cent profit-looks good to Sam.

A LUCKY HORSE.

That k. W. Adams horse is alive is no fault of the horse-it is simply a case of good luck. Clarence rode the animal to Twin Lakes, Sunday, and hitched it to await the homeward trip later in the day. Evidently Clarence was noG ready to go home as soon as the horse thought he ought to, so the brute disconnected itself from its "mooring" and sauntered forth on the home stretch. When arriving at the Blake summit crossing it took the short cut down the track, after which no one knows what happened except that the west bound afternoon passenger train passed the horse somewhere enroute, until it was seen by c. H. Pease, from his place, standing between the rails, with a saddle on, like piece of statp- ary, within a few feet of the Rousa- tonic river bridge, evidently commun- ing with itself as to the most feasible way of getting over the bridge As the tracks indicated trial at crossing the bridge head first, before being seen, every indication pointed towards an anticipated attempt to cross 1t back wards. This move was interferred with. however, by MT. Pease, who ap- peared on the scene and led the animal up the track to the first gateway and from thence to the highway. A few moments later a double e-header freight train came down the hill, and had the horse been still posing where it was found, there would have been little chance of its escaping alive. A little telephoning succeeded in locating the owner, who immediately came to the rescue and showed the horse the way home. Aside from one bruise on the | trump, where it evidently came in con- tact with the train, or the rocks when dodging the train the animal was un. hurt

CHILDREN AND THE STREETS.

School opens within a few days and the number of children who will be obliged to cross streets on the way to and from school four times day will doubtless be increased although these streams of juvenile humanity will be more easy to regulate than they are during the summer season. In view of the fatal street accidents in which children were the victims in collisions with automobiles it should be unneces sary for parents and all other authori. ties to be reminded of the necessity of great care that further lives may not be needlessly sacrificed. It is in- human and sinful to place the major responsibility on the children them- selves, although the facts make it ap- pear that such accidents were unavoid. able. It is up to the whole com. munity to cooperate to the end that the horrible records of the streets of New York and othec large cities may not be duplicated here, as the city 8 school population grows.-Waterbur Republican.
