XIiaiiksg-iTing- I>:iy with all its joys, 



And hallowed memories, too, 

 Has come again to bless and cheer 



The grateful and the true. 

 O, that from each this thought might go — 

 " Praise God from whom all blessings flow," 



1'iirlcey will have its downfall and 

 complete destruction to-day. We don't re- 

 fer to Turkey in Europe or Asia, however. 



Religion <tn<l Politic!^ are two 



realms of discussion and argument into 

 which the American Bee Journal does not 

 propose to enter. The reason for this must 

 be quite apparent to any thinking reader of 

 this paper. While we will adhere to the 

 above statement, we would like to have it 

 understood at the same time, that its edi- 

 tor is in favor of the highest morality of 

 life, and is deeply interested in the kind of 

 politics that shall most improve the condi- 

 tion of every individual in these United 

 States. We may say further that we will 

 always respect everybody's honest opin- 

 ions, upon whatever subject, whether we 

 can agree with them or not, and trust that 

 all matters that seem dark and mysterious 

 here, may be all made clear in the eternal 

 hereafter. 



Clareiuont, Calif*., (care of Pomona 

 College) will be Prof. A, J, Cook's perma- 

 nent address after December 4, as he starts 

 on that day for his future home beyond the 

 Rockies. In a private letter he says: "I 

 shall always be glad to hear from my 

 friends." TheProfessor needn't worry, for 

 his friends will " keep an eye on him," 

 though he should go to the "uttermost 

 parts of the earth." 



We expect, from time to time, to have 

 something from the Professor's able pen, 

 which we know will be read with interest 

 by our readers. The Bee Journal desires 

 to express the hope that health, happiness, 

 and prosperity may ever be with Prof. 

 Cook and his family in their new home. 



Xlioina^ii Yoi'lc Aicliley, the little 

 2}^-year-old that was named for Bro, New- 

 man and us, we learn was stung by a bee a 

 few weeks ago, for the first time, and his 

 mother says '"it did not hurt him much," 

 We will watch the development of this 

 young bee-keeper, who, we are informed, is 

 appropriately called "the little editor," for 

 short. We shall expect a good deal from 

 him some day — he may really be at the 

 head of the old American Bee Journal, 

 who knows ? 



In a letter received from Mrs, Atchley, 

 dated Nov. 18th, she writes that they were 

 having another fine rain, which almost 

 assures a good honey crop next year in 

 Beeville, Tex. Her bees were gathering 

 pollen and honey at the time she wrote, 

 and she enclosed some blossoms of the 

 flowers that the bees were working on then. 

 Here in Chicago, at the same time, we were 

 just getting a foretaste of a Northern win- 

 ter. Such is the greatness of our country.
