Mr. and Mrs. Thds. Wm. Cowau. 



It will be remembered by our readers that Mr. and Mrs. 

 Cowan called on us last May, when on their way back to Eng- 

 land from California, where they had spent the previous 18 

 months. Id Gleanings for July 15 appeared the picture 

 which wo show on this page, and which that paper has kindly 

 loaned us. 



As our opinion of Mr. and Mrs. Cowan is so well echoed 

 in an editorial written by Ernest R. Root, that was printed in 



the same number of Gleanings in which the picture was 

 shown, we reproduce it almost entire, as follows : 



Some of our readers will remember that Mr. Thomas Wm. 

 Cowan, Mrs. Cowan, and their son, an electrical engineer, 

 have been sojourning in California for several months past 

 for their health. The condition of all three has greatly Im- 

 proved. While Mr. Cowan, Jr., remains, Mr. and Mrs. Cowan 

 left there a few weeks ago, stopping on their way at the 

 homes of some of the bee-keepers of the United States. They 

 called on Mr. York, of the American Bee Journal, and on Dr 

 C. C. Miller. In writing to Dr. Miller recently, I mentioned 



Mr. and Mrs. Cowan, and Mrs. E. R. and Master Leland Root.
