BEES NJ

Once Upon a time there was a little
old lady who lived with her grand
child in a house not very far from the
magic woods.
People said the magic woods were
full of elves and fairies, and they were
afraid to go there. Little Hans loved
the woods, though. Whenever his
grandmother would allow him he went
wandering away in the forest.
Perhaps, grannie, l may some day
meet with the kind fairy folk, and If l
do l will not let them go until they tell
me how | can be a useful little boy"
he said.
you are a useful little boy, dearie,"
his grandmother would answer.
But l wish l could carr some money
to make you more comfortable" he
said. when I'm a great big man l
shall work so hard that you can wear
a silk dress every day in the week."
One day when Hans was out in the
forest he noticed a huge spiders web,
and right in the middle of it was a
poor bee buzzing and struggling to get
free.
Hans was a kind hearted boy, and
he was sorry for the insect.
He broke the web so that the bee
could fly away. 1t did not go far, but
perched ON the branch of a tree. Hans
was surprised to hear it speak.
"Thank you, Hans" it said. Il am
the king of the bees, and l must re-
ward you for saving me from wicked
old Ogre Spider, who would soon have
made a meal of me. If you will do as
l tell you you shall always have de-
licious honey to eat and SELL"
Then the bee told Hans to gather the
seed of certain flowers that grew in
the magic wood and plant them in his
grandmother's garden.
The little boy took the seed home and
planted them. When the magic flow
ers bloomed they were all yellow and
gave off a delicious fragrance. Hosts
of bees swarmed to the garden and
worked busily filing the hives with
honey. When the queen came by one
day in her carriage she stopped to look
at the garden and taste of the honey,
So delicious was the sweet that she
ordered that it should be put up in
golden pots for her own special use.
The queen paid the little old lady so
much for this honey that the little
boys wish came true-his grandmoth-
err could have afforded a silk gown for
every day in the week if she had cared
to have one.

Power of the President.

In time of var the president of the
United States is actually a dictator.
There is nothing theoretical about his

None of them may be removed without
his consent except by impeachment
Moreover, he can suspend the writ OF

A story was circulated at one time
that when Robert Louis Stevenson first
came to America he went to the office

was not cordially received. In 1887
Richard Watson Glider wrote to Tai
colt Williams "a letter in which he gave
his idea of the occurrence:
II have no doubt that Stevenson used

"He brought no manuscript and SIM

He doesn't seem to remember the
words of the conversation. For all that
is known, he may have been asked to

say SO. OF course, any answer to such
a vague and unintroduced application
would have to be of the vaguest. He
said he was rather surprised at getting

Later Mr.. Glider wrote to another
friend:
"Never mind! Mrs. Stevenson tells
me that if l had seen Louis l would

looked the part, and every n did turn
him out! Was it a dig or a compliment
when she said likewise that l remind

RIFLEMEN FINISH
AHEAD OF HELENA
Corvallis Marksmen Beat
Other Montana Team.

Corvallis, March S0.- (Special)-
Scoring 9sS at ne final and tenth
match of the national indoor rifle tour
nament, which closed this week, the
local rifle club made a total of 1901 of
n possible 10000. They finished 80
points in the lead of the Helena team.
The individual scores of the last match
were, w. H. Christofferson, 1873; Larse
Christofferson, 1893; Barnes, 1871; Ash
by, 1876, and Hans De Young, 1913. The
best record during the tournament was
made by c. L. Magni, who scored 1888
of a possible 1000. w. II. Christoffer-
son was second with 1928 and Hans
De Young made lS49. Christofferson
made the record of the highest mimi
mum, scoring no less than 1S9. The
official returns from Washington will
be received in about three weaks and
the average of each contestant may
be different from the record of the
local club. For amateurs, as Christof-
ferson insists they are, the members
of the Corvallis team have shot re
markedly we'll. and have worked up {
good eye and steady nerve for tn
summers outdoor matches.

MONTANA TO HAVE
PLENTY OF WATER

Helena. March 30.-With the normal
amount of rain during the spring and
summer Montana should have plenty
of moisture this year, says Meteorolo-
gist Henry F.. Alps of the local office
of the United States weather bureau.
who has just returned from the con-
tinental division of the Rockies. north
of Bald Butte where he went to make
snow measurements from which to
estimate the seasons water supply.
Mr.. Alps and a companion had to
use skis to reach the divide. The
weather bureau official found the
snow unusually deep. on the wind
swept ranges there was little snow,
while at other places the drifts We're
found as deep as 20 feet. The snow
was very light and was not packed at
all near the 5000 foot elevation. where
there were no thaws until this week.
Mr.. Alps reports that the snow.
while deeper than last year. is not so
heavy in water.
