concealed annoyance, squeezing them
selves against the walls to make room

we arrange them so that no space
is lost and no material unnecessarily

you some cells that are Just being

so many masons constructing brick

Ex-County Commissioner
Hurt by Blow From Auto

DR.. J, R. Connolly. s2s Bancroft
street, former county commissioner,
received compound fracture OF the
left arm, fractured nose, fractured
left ankle, abrasions on the right knee
and other injuries when he was struck
by an automobile driven by Andrew
Meir, 25l7 South Twelfth street, Sat
urday evening. Police Surgeon Earl
Connolly, son Of the injured man,
was one Of the three other surgeons
who attended Mr.. Connolly. He
was taken to St. Joseph hospital, His
injuries are said to be serious.
Mr.. Connolly was waiting for a
street car at Fourteenth and Farnam
streets, In some way he darted in
between two automobiles which were
awaiting the signal of the traffic Of.

evidently failed to see the machine

but they would be too tempting to the
idlers in a metropolis. The lazy
drones would be always at them.
That reminds me, we are going to
kill off the drones today, and you can
stay and see the massacre"
What do you kill them for?" asked
the startled visitor, who perhaps felt
as Cortets soldiers did when they
found out how the Aztecs disposed

"Oh, just to get rid of them" re-
piled the hive bee lightly. They're no

run away? No. She makes her
nuptial fight, and all the drones, who
are males, of course, chase after her,
and the one who overtakes her be-
comes her mate. After the marriage
she kills him and we kill the rest"
Il remember" said the visitor, with
shuddering wings" that you said
something about your queens jeal-
ousy and her sluaghtering Of rivals"
If you had been here yesterday"
returned the hive bee, you might
have seen her dispose of one. | guess

now. We thought for while that the
queen herself would be the victim,
but just at the right moment she
drove home her stiletto."
But suppose she had been killed"
J Then we should have taken the
victor for queen, of course"
As the sun rose higher it became
uncomfortably warm in the hive.
Its time for the fans" said the
hive bee, impatiently, "Ah, there they
are at last"
