or at least a spoon that has 

 a device in its handle that 

 will prevent it from drop- 

 ping down in the jar of hon- 

 ey on the dining-table, thus 

 soiling the fingers and spoil- 

 ing the table-cloth. It is a 

 very ingenious idea, and 

 should have extensive de- 

 mand among honey-cnnsu- 

 mers, especially bee-keep- 

 ers. It is well plated on 

 high-class nickel, and has 

 a beautiful raised design 

 on the upper side of the 

 handle, as indicated in 

 the picture herewith. 

 We have secured some 

 of tliese very unioue 

 spoons, and will mail 

 them at 00 cents each. 

 lOr we will send spoon 

 and the American Bee 

 [Journal one year— both 

 for $L75. 



The spoon would be 

 fine as a gift for Christ- 

 mas, birthdays, etc. 



The editor of the Bee 

 Journal has used one of 

 these spoons for a num- 

 ber of months in the 

 honey-glass which is al- 

 ways on his table, and he would not like to 

 be without this spoon again, as it is so con- 

 venient, and also unusual in this country. 

 We can fill orders promptly now. You cer- 

 tainly would be pleased with this honey- 

 spoon, and so would anyone to whom you 

 might present it. Send all orders to.

Early Christmas Shopping- 

 it is ail very well to talk about early Christ- 

 mas shopping, but nine out of ten of us have 

 not the early Christmas shopping where- 

 withal. What with shoes for Johnnie, and 

 a coat for Susan, and gentle reminders from 

 the coalman and other trustingones. most of 

 us come bump up against the week before 

 Christmas before we can spare a cent for 

 Christmas doings. Then the question is. 

 What? The stores are jammed, there are 

 heaps of foolish notions tocatch the belated 

 shopper. 



And yet how easy it is to get just the right 

 thing at a modest cost, namely, a year's sub- 

 scription to The Youth's Companion! 



It costs S175. and how can you invest $i. 75 

 to better advantage if you wish to make a 

 gift that will benefit as well as gratify the 

 friend or family to whom you send it ? And 

 if you can subscribe early, you get just so 

 much more for the money— all the issues for 

 the remaining weeks of ion free. 



Then. too. your present will be as fresh 

 and pleasing a year from now as on Christ- 

 mas morning, and of how many presents 

 can that be said ? 



The one to whom you give the subscrip 

 tion will receive free The Companion's Cal- 

 endar for 1012. lithographed in ten colors and 

 gold, and you, too. as giver of the subscrip- 

 tion, will receive a copy of the Calendar. 



Only $[.75 now for the 52 weekly issues, 

 but on January i, 1012, the subscription price 

 will be advanced to S2-00.
