But all of sudden up out of the
ocean popped an Old Man Of the
Sea. On his back was II pack and
in the pack was grinder machine.
for he sharpened the scissors of
the Mermaids who made dress for
themselves from seawecd.
''Here! You let Uncle .Wiggily
alone! !" shouted the Old Man of
the Sea. With that he started his
grinding machine to whizzimg.
Around and around swung the grind
ing stone. The Old Man of the
Sea held his grinder against the
sharp teeth of the bad Bear. He
ground the Bears teeth down so
they were short, and stubby and
dull.
"'Now you can't nibble Uncle
WiggiIy s ears!' laughed the Sea
Man.
EGurra, Gurra! No. / can n't!}'
growled the Bear, and, putting his
empty lunch box on his back again,
away he numbered, shaking his head.
"Thank you for saving my ears, =
spoke the rabbit politely. And
will you please come and sharpen

Casualty List Is
Appalling When
Bees Get Liquor

Many a bootlegger has met his
downfall because he drank his own
booze. The most colossal example
of the dangers of such an indiscre-
tion was reported this week at
Holtville where $4,000 bees met
their death from the effect of acute
alcoholism following wild orgy of
honey making.
The bees, which belonged to Da-
vid James were somehow inveigled
TO eulist in the moonshine business,
and despite the proverbial monnlck-
er. "busy bee attached to honey
makers, these particular residents
of Mr.. james, apiary proscrastinat-
ed long enough and frequently
enough during their rounds, to be
come very "pie- eyed'i, or "well
boiled. -
Mr.. James told authorities that
he had detected faint odor Of llq-
uor during the day. but it was not
until he went to the hives to take
some honey, that he found out the
source of the not unpleasant aroma.
Every one of the hives was still,
and in each were thousands of dead
bees Tasting the honey, Mr.. James
found that the bees had not only
been getting drunk. but had been
engaged in rum-running and had
stored the bootleg in the honey
combs.
1t is believed that the bees had
made the acquaintance with some
local bootlegger and had attempted
to carry off his liquor. Their con
genital weakness for demon ruin,
however, wrought havoc with the
enterprise.
