My stock is from J. P. Moore's long-tongue strain, 

 A. I. Root's famous 8200 queen, and from the stock of 

 J. F. Mclntyre that filled supers when other colonies 

 were starving. I sell warranted queens in any quan- 

 tity, at 50 cts. each. If a queen proves impurely mat- 

 ed, another is sent free of charge. All queens go by 

 return mail unless otherwise ordered. I guarantee 

 safe arrival and entire satisfaction. Otherwise, the

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Don't stop Gleanings, please. I don't want to 

 miss its bright face even once ; neither do I want to 

 miss Uncle Amos' talks. K. C. Luckey. 



Poy Sippi, Wis., May 31. 



I bought a queen from you five years ago, and I be- 

 lieve my stock from her is the best in ike world. I wish 

 to test your strain again. I will give it a fair, critical 

 test, and report to you. Evan E. Edwards. 



Alexandria, Ind., May 11. 



The premium queen you sent me last July is a beau- 

 ty. I bought myself a rule with lOOths of an inch on 

 it, a small microscope, and some chloroform. I meas- 

 ured some of her bees' tongues the other day, and 

 they were nearly j\\f of an inch long. I have several 

 virgin queens ready to mate, and some in cells almost 

 ready to come out, from the premium queen you sent 

 me. ly. A. Hammond. 



Keedysville, Md. 



Having spent 17 years in a salaried pastorate in Il- 

 linois and Colorado, and now 6 years as a faith mis- 

 sionary in the desert, I know the advantages of both 

 God's and man's promises ; and as a working capital 

 in anj/ circumstance I prefer God's word every time. 

 Tell your people to have faith in God. H^e eat at the 

 same table with our Indian children ; and if you come 

 out here to visit us I would invite you to do the same, 

 and make no apology. Howard R. Antes. 



Anath, Utah. 



THE "age of consent." 



Afr. Root .-—On page 447 you say that the age of con- 

 sent in Ohio is 14 years. The W. C. T. U. of Ohio suc- 

 ceeded in getting the age raised to 16 years in 1898. I 

 enjoy reading your Home Papers. 



Annie W. Clark, Pres. Ohio W. C. T. U. 



Columbus, O., May 20. 



May the Lord be praised for this informa- 

 tion, dear sister. Now, it is of great impor- 

 tance that the misstatement which I copied 

 from the book, "Traffic in Girls," be correct- 

 ed at once. Let it not be said of such a book 

 that it contains one misrepresentation or ex- 

 aggeration. Thank God for the raising of the 

 age of consent from 14 to 16 years. But why 

 not have Ohio stand beside New York and 

 make it 18? But doubtless the age given, 14, 

 was correct when printed.
