THE REEs SING CrFFY.

As Cuffy Bear stood there on his
hind legs looking up at the nest IN the
old tree he saw so many bees come Out
and fly away that he thought that
there could not be any bees left at
home--at least, not more that a half
dozen. And Cuffy didn't believe that
six bees would trouble him. There was
one good thing in having coat like
his. he told himself; even if it was
warm in summer. it was SO thick that
he didn't see how a bee could sting
him through it.
And with that, Cuffy started to
climb the old tree. 1t took him no
time at all to hitch himself up the tree

ing Discovery in Piaon Min
ing District.

Whitewater, Cal.-While on a camp
ing trip in the Painted Hills in the
Pinon mining district, northeast Of
here, 0. l. Kennedy Of San Bernardino
discovered what may prove to be the
relics of a 100-year-old tragedy.
In an inaccessible spot, but one dis
tinctly visible from the foot trail, in
the face of the mountain, he discovered
n musket and a row Of Indian water
vessels. On examining the weapon
through high-p0wer glass, it proved
to be tlintlOck OfNancient design, and
Kennedy believes from the peculiar
formation of the stock it is of Spanish
origin.
Kennedy expects to return in short
time with a supply Of ropes by which
he will have himself lowered into the
dry sea cavern where the relics were
discovered. He brought with him sam
pies of large sea shells, which he gath
cred on the edge OF a great deposit of
shells located at an altitude of 1850
feet.
