 KstablisKed 188Q. 



Outlook Is Cheerful. 



By the Bee (Jr<nik. 



Sa'd a great cvaDgelical preacher. 

 "The h ^D is a beautiful creature," 

 And the hen, just for that, 

 Laid an egg in his hat. 

 And thus d;d the Hen-re-ward- 

 Beecher. 



A Florida hen cackled and thus 



betrayed 

 That a fine large egg she had just 



laid. 

 And a bee-man of fame 

 Was heard to exclaim, 

 "Oh beautiful thing : come under 



my wing; 

 It's us for the land where the 



mockingbirds sing, 

 —And if a 'jigger' bites me, I'll 



forget it.'' 



Whether the story is 

 true or not, there seems to be 

 some circumstantial evidence 

 to support it. Meanwhile I am 

 making a specialty of selling 

 Root's goods at Root's prices, 

 and have a very complete stock 

 of new goods. The indications 

 are that, during May and June, 

 the demand will be tremen- 

 dous, and I am prepared for 

 such an event. I could ship 

 a ton of foundation the day the 

 order reaches me, and still have 



a complete stock on 

 hand. My illustrated 

 catalog is free, and I 

 should like to send it to 

 you, and should be 

 pleased to quote an es- 

 timate on your wants; 

 or if in a hurry you can 

 order from the R ot 

 catalog, my prices being 

 identical with factory 

 list. This man sent for 

 an estimate, and then 

 wrote as follows : 



WulUr S. Pouder. Connersville. IND. 



Dejr Sir:— Your favor with estimate re- 

 ceived. When freights are taken into con- 

 sideration your prices are the lowest; and 

 when I buy Root's goods I know what I shall 

 get, which is worth sometning to me. In- 

 closed you will find check with order, and I 

 am sending my beeswax by express. 



Yours, Thos. H. White. 



Beeswax Wanted: — Don't 

 waste beeswax, but save it and 

 send it here. I pay highest 

 market price, cash or trade, and 

 I have an outlet for every pound 

 that I could secure, and could 

 use more.
