LITERARY NOTES. 



The August number of the J. W. Pepper Piano 

 Music M<agazine opens with a song peculiarly ap- 

 Xiropriate to the season. "Down by the Sea." by 

 Joseph 8. V\ illing a writer who in this piece 

 worthily sustj^ins his reputation as a writer of ex- 

 ceptional ability. The magazine contains twenty- 

 one complet3 pieces of original copyright music fiT 

 the piano— ten songs and eleven instrumental. 

 Ten cents, at all music dealers. 



Mr. William Allen ^\ hite has just returned from 

 Lawton, where he went to write for The Saturday 

 Evening lost, of Philadelphia, the story of the 

 opening of the Indian lands. Mr. White's vivid 

 account of the mushroom city that sjirang up in a 

 night is of striking and timely interest. 



Aftera long rest in h^outh Africa, Mr. Rudyard 

 Kipling has returned to England and is busily oc- 

 cupied with his literary labors. One of his most 

 recent stories is 'How the Leopard Got His Spots," 

 which will be published soon in The Ladies" Home 

 Journal. 



Frederick Austin Ogg, in Modern Culture for 

 September writes: In the political and constitu- 

 tional realm, in which, be it remembered, the 

 supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon lies, at no time has 

 the tie binding the present to the past been wholly 

 rent asunder. Never, under any circumstances, 

 have Englishmen sat down to frame a new constitu- 

 tion in obedience to some dazzling theory. Each 

 step in the growth of the English constitution has 

 been the natural consequence of some earlier step: 

 each change in English law and custom has been, 

 not the bringing in of anything wholly new, but 

 the development and improvent of something that 

 was already old. 



"Adversity is the spur which urges many 

 men on to efforts which bring success." 



ABOUT THAT CONVENTION. 



Station B. Toledo, O., Aug. .^(j, "01. 



Yes. Mr. Editor, as you say on page 

 1.52 of the Bee-keeper for August, the 

 big Convention will surely be held as 

 advertised, in Buffalo, September 10, 11 

 and 12. and everything is now ready for 

 the good time coming, and you and your 

 readers had better be on hand and help 

 to enjoy it, and to help you all I can you 

 may say that I can furnish about sixty 

 delegates with places where they can 

 get lodging and breakfast in nice, clean, 

 private families for 7.5 cents, if they will 

 apply to me before or at the Convention. 

 All other delegates can secure accommo- 

 dations at what I am assured are reason- 

 able and satisfactory terms by applying 

 to Dr. Pierce's Free Bureau of Informa- 

 tion at (i.52 Main iStreet. and calling for 

 Mr. Sidney S. Sleeper. 



The Ontario Bee-keepers" Association 



has been invited to attend the Buffalo 

 meeting, and I am just ' in receipt of 

 President Newton's' reply of acceptance, 

 and we're expecting a large turnout of 

 York State bee-keepers. 



Very truly yours, 



A. B. Masox, Sec'y. 



" The best thing to do in a hurry is — 

 nothing." 



Honey Wanted. 



Good fiure extracted, light amber to dark amber 

 honey wanted. A good price paid.

Patent Wired Comb Foundation 



has no Sag in Brood Frames. 



Thin Flat Bottom Foundation 



has no Fish-bone in Surplus Honey. 



Being the cleanest is usually worked the quickest 

 of any Foundation made. The talk about wiring 

 frames seems absurd. We furnish a Wired Foun- 

 dation that is BETTER, CHEAPER and not half the 

 trouble to use that it is to wire brood frames. 



Circulars and samples free.

^pon Looking 

 Backward? 



We think not. The West is the direction to look 

 forward to for business. Have you either Bee or 

 Poultry Supplies, or Stock, that you wish to sell in 

 the West ? The
