lie Assurecl, once for all. 



That no step is in vain 

 Which is made against wrong. 



In defence of the right ; 

 And that every true thought 



Is a tangible gain 

 Toward putting the legions 



Of error to flight. 

 Then continue to hope, 



While you do what you can 

 For the progress of truth 



And the glory of man. — Selected. 



World's Fair Pictures — did you 



read about them on page 165 of this number 

 of the Bee Journal ? 



Xliree "^Velconie Visitors favored 

 us with their beneficent presence one day 

 last week. They were Dr. C. C. Miller and 

 "the two blessed women'' that help to 

 make his life so happy — Mrs. Miller and her 

 sister, Miss Emma Wilson. What a joyful 

 trio they are ! And it's hard to tell which 

 of the three enjoys this life most. The 

 Bee Journal not only invites them to 

 come often, and stay longer, but wishes 

 them all long life and Heaven's best bless- 

 ings. 



Xlie j^tiiiger and Rambler. — 



These " conumberfums " are sent us by 

 Bro. C. H. Pond, of Kasson, Minn., for the 

 benefit of "The Stinger" and "Rambler:" 



Why is the American Bee Journal's 

 "Stinger" like the American hedgehog? 

 Ans. : Because he carries a back load of 

 stings. 



Why is a "kid" playing in front of a 

 hive of bees like Gleauings^ Rambler ? Ans. : 

 Because if he doesn't keep quiet, he is sure 

 to get stung. 



I*rof. Coolc is the new President of 

 the Calfornia State Bee-Keepers' Associa- 

 tion. That's a mutual honor, deserved by 

 both Association and Professor. Rambler 

 was re-elected Secretary, and Bro. Geo. W. 

 Brodbeck, the retiring President, was 

 elected Treasurer. That's a strong set of 

 officers. The report of the meeting held on 

 Jan. 23rd and 24th, will appear soon in the 

 Bee Journal.
