GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

vice may take two hours more— that is, 

 provided you have an evening service in 

 summer. Most of you can get quite a little 

 exercise in going to these places and coming 

 home. You can see your neighbors' yards 

 and shrubbery on the way to church and 

 back again. Some of you can go out to your 

 own woods on Sunday afternoon between 

 services; or you can get outdoor exercise by 

 going to see somebody who is sick or old— 

 perhaps some relative whom you can bright- 

 en and encourage. May be there is some- 

 body around you who would be glad to have 

 you read the Bible to him. Invite your 

 friends to go to church. Ask your minister 

 what you can do to help him. Take a class 

 in Sunday-school. That, surely, will give 

 you •* exercise," especially with such a class 

 as I had yesterday. There were fifteen 

 boys who averaged about a dozen years old. 

 I had a good nice talk with them. They 

 enjoyed it, and so did I ; and the memory of 

 their bright faces has been with me almost 

 ever since. I am away from home so much 

 that I do not have any regular class in Me- 

 dina just now; but I am a sort of supply 

 teacher to fill vacancies. 



THE NEW ROOT GENEALOGY. 



About 35 years ago a pretty good-sized 

 book was published called " The Root Gene- 

 alogy." It included the greater part of the 

 Roots in the United States at that period. 

 We succeeded in carrying our ancestry back 

 to England. They came over to America 

 some time before the Puritans landed. Well, 

 just now a much larger book is being com- 

 piled; and if any one who sees this is in any 

 way connected with anybody known by the 

 name of Root, Roote, or Roots, the compil- 

 ers of the book (Root Genealogy Co., Wood- 

 men of World Building, Omaha, Neb.) will 

 be glad to hear from such party. Here is 

 what they say in regard to their work of 

 collecting notes: 



Ernest R. Root:— We are beg-inning to think there are 

 more Roots out of the book than in — at least one-third 

 of all the replies we receive do not have a direct con- 

 nection. We are now engaged in the Canada quest, 

 and shall doubtless find descendants from the solid old 

 tory, Solomon Root, who left Hebron, Ct., for Canada 

 during the Revolution. There were quite a number of 

 Roots during the Revolution who were counted tories; 

 but I don't think we are descended from that stock. 



Our A. I. Root (A. I. Root of Omaha, Neb.) sails for 

 England June 6, and will endeavor to look up some 

 early family history. C. M. Root. 



Omaha, Neb. 



I have thought best to give this notice be- 

 cause so many are writing to me whose 

 name is Root or who are connected by mar- 

 riage to some one of that name.

Men's Negligee Shirts, $1.00 



Now while we are aware of the fact that every 

 merchant carries a dollar shirt, yet such shirts are 

 not to be confounded with our famous Staghead 

 brand at the dollar price. 



We personally superintend the making of these 

 shirts; we see to it that they are made of materials 

 that will launder, that will give good service; we 

 allow no fckimping; we demand that they fit per- 

 fectly. 



The colored shirts are made of madras— there 

 are stripes of different widths and colors on white 

 grounds, and many small figure effects on white 

 and colored grounds. 



There are shirts with attached cuffs and others 

 with the cuffs detachable. 



At this same price of $1.00 we make a specialty 

 of a white negligee shirt; made of a good grade of 

 cambric, pleated bosom without cuffs or with cuffs 

 attached. 



The man who wants the best shirt $1.00 can buy 

 should let us have his order for two or three of 

 these shirts at once.
