ines. Bee farmers are often applied 

 f by persons suffering from rheuma- 

 fm, who wish to place themselves in 

 tj way of being stung. And, strange 

 i it may seem, the virtue of the bee 

 cng does often act as a cure to per- 

 sris suffering from serious attacks of 

 mimatism." Now we are always 

 sxious to have the daily papers boom 

 t; bee business, but we would be 

 gid to have the Chronicle reporter 

 SDw us the man who has paid $200 

 i a queen bee. We would also like 

 t have him point out the man near 

 (tawa, Canada, who goes to Eu- 

 ne annually, bringing back with him 

 h-"s that aggregate in value into the 

 tDusands of pounds. We would also 

 Ij; to know where the firm is lo- 

 ced that insures bees in transit. We 

 h^e no objections to reporters mak- 

 ii the bee business look as big as 

 pisible, but we believe it would have 

 aetter effect in the end if they would 

 kp within the bounds of truth. We 

 fil like suggesting to all first-class 

 dlies that they employ a good bee- 

 k per and give him a position on the 

 sff of reporters, and then they will 

 n get so many wild stories m the 

 pter about bees, but they will be fur- 

 nhed with some things which will 

 p ve very interesting to their read-

 ambition, uplift and inspire him. Boys want 

 reading matter as much as "grown-"ups" if 

 they can get the right kind. If parents sup- 

 ply them the wishy-washv kind, or none at 

 all, they usually manage to get the kind they 

 oughtn't to have, and boy-bandits and would- 

 be "Deadwood Dicks" are the result.
