For long time ago it vas a man som vas 

 name Adam. He vas a gooti man, an he never 

 had dun anyting long, but he vas decieved by 

 da evil sperit. an lie ete of da frute vat he vas 

 told not to ete. He make plenty big mistake, 

 an becaus of das mistake ve iss bornd sinners, 

 an da vorld is full of sin an misery, and ve 

 half to vork four ours daily bread. 



Hut in von vay .\dam vos lak odder peoples. 

 \\:n da Lord ask him vy for he ete of da frute 

 vot he vas commanded not to ete, he say it 

 vas da voman's folt. Now, if you vil read da 

 bible careful you vil fine dat'Adam vas given 

 das commandment before Eve vas created, 

 and it vos Adam's an not Eve's fault. An' da 

 Lord cursed the ground for Adam's sake, an 

 so it iss even now, it iss easy to mak niistak, 

 but it iss plenty hard yob to lix it up lak it 

 vos before. An' if ve don't votch out, a lit- 

 tle mistake grow plenty fast, an' by and by 

 ve goan to bay big harvest, an" vot ve sow ve 

 goan to reap. 



Yen bad peoples mak mistak it iss bad. but 

 ven good peoples mak mistake it iss lots 

 vorser, cause deir inllunee go so much f urder 

 an' du more harm. 



Now, somebody mak plenty awful big mis- 

 take about da lection of da yeneral manager, 

 an' dom is all good mans, so it dun lots of 

 harm. Now, everyboddy vat mak dat mistak 

 let dom not rest till dom mak it rite. Now, 

 ven ay got card to vote for yeneral manager, 

 ay got paper vot dom call report, an it say 

 dom never got da mony from Abbott vot he 

 collect; but Abbot he pay das mony for long 

 time ago, an got receet vot he carried till it 

 soon be vord out. An' on nodder von paper 

 it say, Ten dom try to explain 'bout von dom 

 call " da late unpleasantness'' — dat is very 

 nice name for plenty bad ting — but it say da 

 directors don't can lect yeneral manager ven 

 it don't vas any vacancy. But, my goodness, 

 dom knowed dom dun it. Vy for dom goan 

 to du someting dom can't do? An' den be- 

 caus dom can't do it, dom blame Abbott for da 

 hoi ting. Dat iss lak little boy vot bought 

 gum, an after he svalered it he von't to trade 

 bak. Ay don't can uuderstan' vy for dom go 

 to so much trubble to bete Abbott. 



If Mr. Abbott dun sumting awful rong let 

 him Stan up an everyboddy vat never dun .any 

 ting rong let him trow big stone at Abbott. 

 A> tank it don't goan to tak very big pile ma 

 stones to supply da demand before dom vas 

 all good frientis, an dom sed nice tings bout 

 each odder. But ven good friends vork to- 

 gedder to du good den Satan he sneeak up 

 behine an' to mak dom to disagree, an it he 

 can yust make dom to quvarl den ay tank he 

 make big laf, an rejoice. But ven Satan re- 

 joice den da angels veep. 



Mr. A. I. (Jleanings, he bean rite sermans 

 for long time, an he du lots of good, an if you 

 tak notes all dom big bee-mans iss good mans, 

 an' dom iss nearly all Christians an tem- 

 prence mans. Dom don't even chaw tobacker, 

 cause dom follow Mr. A. I. Gleanings teach- 

 ings, an dom don't smoke corncob pipe, cause 

 Gleanings he giv da Clark's cold-blast smoker 

 so dom can keep cool. Derr is no odder bis- 

 nesB vat got so many Christian leaders som 

 bee-keeping, an' if dom vil yousl yoin hands 

 and file Satan den Satan vil hav to run lak 

 sixty. An' ve don't goan to hav any more 

 trouble; an ve can turn ours attention to 

 honey-plants an shookted svarms, an pupa- 

 skinniE castofiica' (little cord vot dom ty der 

 quveens up ven dom git too hi lifed and vant 

 to svarm) . 



Now, ay tank all dom little bee-mans lak 

 Yon Yonson vot belong to N. B. K. A. should 

 vote vot dom tank is best, but all dom direc- 

 tors vot vote for an' lect Abbott before, dom 

 aught to vote for Abbott das time, cause dom 

 is honest an' acknowledge it vas all deir fault, 

 an' dom shud undo da rong dom allreddy dun 

 to Abbott. In place of trying to pull a good 

 brudder down, du lak da good Samaritan, 

 cause ve should prefer ours neighbor before 

 ourselv. 



Now, if it bean anybody vot don't lak Yon 

 Yonson cause he express hiss opinion about

" Bees in Colo rado" 



I still have several hundred copies of 

 the souvenir with the above title. The 

 bee-papers and a good many people 

 without visible axes to grind have said 

 it is a valuable and attractive thing. 

 If you should like to have a copy, send 

 me a silver dime or 5 two-cent stamps, 

 and I will mail you a copy. 



" Bees in Colorado " is the title of a 4.S- 

 page and cover pamphlet gotten up to boom 

 the Denver convention. Its author is D. W. 

 Working, the alert secretary of the Colorado 

 State Bee-Keepers' Association. It is Ireauti- 

 fully illustrated, and printed on enameled 

 paper. It is a credit to Mr. Working, and 

 will be a great help in acquainting those out- 

 side of Colorado with the bee and honey 

 characteristics and opportunites of that 

 State. — American Bee .lournal.
