Your Name on the Knife.— Wbea orderiug^, be sure to say just what name and 

 address you wish put on the Kalle. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a aovelty The novelty lies In the handle. It is 

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as g'tass. Un- 

 derneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 the subscriber, and on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; 

 the blades are haud-forged out of the very finest Eng-lish razor-steel, and we war- 

 rant every blade. The bolsters are made of German silver, and will never rust or 

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the lining-s are plate brass; 

 the back spring-s of Sheffield spriag--steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-time, with proper usagre. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife ? In case a grood knife is lost, the chances are the 

 owner will never recover it; but if the " Novelty " is lost, having" name and address 

 of owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- 

 dress, would destrov the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so foi. 

 tunate as to have one of the ■' Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and ifi 

 case of death, your relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present! What more lasting- memento could a mother 

 g'ive to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a ladv to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on oae side ? 



The accompanying cu' gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 thls^eautiful kuife, as th^ " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Yaluable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.25, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us \ hkee new scbscribers to the Bee Journal (with $-"*.'».) We will club the Noveltj 

 Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.

The Fred W. Muth Co,, 



Front and Walnut, 



CINCI MINI ATI, OHIO. 



was called Thursday morning and I put in my 

 prosecuting Bvidence. 



I tool! in a liive which was a duplicate of 

 the stolen ones ra Root Colorado portico), 

 and showfil my markings. Under the hand- 

 hold was a number stenciled on which they 

 had scraped and battered with a hammer, and 

 then given a daub of paint and a new marl<- 

 ing. But up under the top of the portico I 

 had stenciled in inch letters F. H. H., which 

 they evidently had not seen, for there it was 

 and had Iwen for three years. I also had the 

 inspector for a witness, the constable as to 

 the finding and where, the lady that lives on 

 our ranch, where the bees were stolen from, 

 showing that the prisoners were there looking 

 the location over a few days before taking 

 them, and some of the best bee-keepers we 

 have as expert testimony as to the value of a 

 picked number of colonies at that season. 



They did not make any defense; did not go 

 on the witness stand at all, but their attorney 

 asked for a petit larceny charge. My attor- 

 neys asked to have them both bound over to 

 the district court for grand larceny. 



In my attorney's plea he said in part : " The 

 fact that five colonies were stolen at the same 

 time, although I could only identify three, 

 showed without a doubt that they took five, 

 and that it was unusual to find all the stolen 

 property in a thief's possession when making 

 a search." He said: "Look at them! They 

 show plainly what they are. They won't 

 work for a living like honest people, but steal 

 they will. But if stealing be their bent, why, 

 O why, will they steal the busy bee;'' 



The justice took it under advisement for 

 two days and then decided to discharge the 

 wife and bind the husband over for grand 

 larceny. The wife had an equity in some 

 property where she lived, so she was accepted 

 as bondsman for her husband's appearance. 



I then got back the three colonies that I 

 had identified. 



Aside from this, they were both under .$100 

 bonds on the Bouchenheimer charge. That 

 case was called soon after, but they did not 

 appear for trial, so the court declared the 

 bond forfeited. 



The district called my case for trial and 

 they did not appear there, either, so that bond 

 was declared forfeited, too. 



As near as I can find out they did not have 

 much reputation to lose, but what little they 

 might have had is gone, the bees are gone, 

 their equity in a home is gone, and they are 

 fugitives from justice. Verily the way of the 

 transgressor is hard. 



Now, just a word as to organization, both 

 local and national. It is pretty generally 

 known that Colorado bee-keepers have a 

 pretty strong State Association, and we also 

 have the Denver Bee-Keepers' Association, 

 which is pretty strong, too. They stand to- 

 gether for the right and the protection of 

 their interests. The encouragement it gives 

 one to be backed by such a body of brother 

 bee-keepers is worth many times the cost ; 

 Ijesides, it was remarked a number of times 

 that the effect of such a representation of in- 

 terested bee-keei)ers certainly would have con- 

 siderable influence with any judge. The 

 court-room was packed every day with Den- 

 ver bee-keepers, all interested and eager for 

 justice to be meted out to very guilty persons. 

 What can be accomplished locally by organi- 

 zation can more than be realized nationally. —
