BOTH BUSY AND BRAVE Never Seeks Notoriety But ResenU Interference With a Vigor That Arouses Respect.

It was Maeterlinck who idylized the bee. The master of modern playcraft found in the busy insect a bookful of entertaining marvels. The bee is not only the symbol of industry, but it is the exponent of good government, of good order, of practical socialism. Incidentally, the tiny creature is fiercely sensitive regarding its place, its home and its right to pursue happiness in its own uneventful way. In the Omaha Union depot two hives of bees fell off a truck, and the inmates buffeted and disturbed, swarmed through the great inclosure seeking the unknown enemy and speedily clearing the floor of everything animate.

For an hour they held possession of the station, held it against all comers, until expert advice was called in and the marauders were lured back to confinement. In England an accident of a similar character occurred when a hand hive was broken open in Waterloo station and a panic promptly followed. But all the stories concerning the bee cannot be accepted without investigation. The tee never poses. It never seeks notoriety.

All it asks Is to be let alone and it resents interference with a vigor and effect that are at 'times overwhelming. A creature so tiny and yet so resolute, that can hold up all traffic at one of the leading railway centers of the country is entitled to a good dal of respect and respect is a tribute which the bee has commanded even as fac back as the promised land, which flowed with milk and honey.

Miles, pulled from the over the smoking Iiot light bisc uits, all ready to eat. It was just 3:44 o'clock when the first bite was taken, or half an hour to the minute from the time the grain was standing in the field.

He insisted on weighing and measuring each part used, and had to make a second batch after getting too much baking powder in the first one. Had the oven been real hot to begin with the baking would have taken but three minutes instead of ten, which also would have reduced the time seven minutes, but I cut that hour record in two and was satisfied." Gabel says he has Investigated carefully and is postive that he has established a world's record. A Ne- braska farmer has a record of six teen minutes, but he ground the wheat in a ceffee mill in the field and baked it in the field. This record is outlawed, because the grain did not pass through the ordinary processes and the product wasn't real flour.

He Sailed from Palos Fiiday, August SI, and Had a Stormy Voyage, Lasting Seventy-One Days-First Sight of Land. On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus knew positively that he had found land. He mistccfk it for India, which country he was seeking, but it proved to be islands off the coast of America. This slight error on the part of Columbus may be forgiven in view of his courage in sailing away from Spain on what was regarded as a flat ocean over the edge of which his pessimistis friends confidently predicted he would tumble, if he ever reached it. But Chris was a Booster and he ignored the Knockers, insisting that the world was round and that he could sail westward and reach India, a land de-eloping great riches in commerce.

Columbus sailed from Palos in the Santa Maria on Friday, August 3, 1492, and had a stormy voyage, the weather and the crew combining to break his determination. On the night of October 11, Columbus, who was straining his weary eyes for a sign of land, and knowing that a few more days of failure meant mutiny, thought he saw a light ahead-There was $100 reward standing for the first sailor who saw land, but he could not be sure of his anxious vision. "Early the next morning," says the historian, "a sailor of the Pinta first saw land; but the award was given to Columbus, who saw the light on land.

A group of naked native, with skins of copper hue, watched their movements with awe, and regarded the strangers as gods. Believing he was in India, Cclumbus called the inhabitants Columbus took possession of the land in the name of the crown of Castile. He soon discovered it to be an island one of the Bahamas and he named it San Salvador. Sailing southward he discovered Cuba, Haiti and other islands, which he denominated the West Indies." The Santa Maria was wrecked on Haiti. Columbus built a fort, left 39 men in charge and sailed for Spain in January, 1493, taking several natives.

He reached Tagus in March and was warmly received by the King of Portugal and later by the Spanish rulers. Honors were heaped upon him and in September 1493 he sailed again with 17 ships and 1,500 people, mcstly adventurers. PRISONER WANTS THE MONEY. Declines to Sun-ender $1,000 to Man Who Put Up Rond. Ottawa, Oct.

12. When T. Ferguson, one time friend of John Carson of Rantoul, deposited $1,000 to the credit of Sheriff Latimer in lieu cf a bond for John Carson, who was waiting trial on a charge of maintaining a nuisance, he didn't know how much of a mess he was getting into by depositing cash. When County Attorney Page came into court and filed a motion to subject the $1,000 cash deposit to the payment of Carson's $300 fine and tests, contending that the $1,000 was, when deposited in lieu of bond, the property of Carson, under the statute that provides that the defendant only can put up a cash bona. Judge Smart ruled that the money be returned to the owner Ferguson had moved to have his money returned.

But Carson contends that the money is his and refuses to give an order to the sheriff to turn over the money. The county can't get $300 of it, the amount of the fine Mr. Carson owes. Mr. Ferguson can't say the money is his, for it is in Sheriff Latimer's name.

Sheriff Latimer would like to get rid of it, legally. NOW A STARGAZERS' TRUST. An Astronomer Advises the Union of Observatories to Save Expense. Philadelphia, Oct. 12.

An "astronomical trust," with a central body making observations for the world and spending the money now spread in various observatories is predicted by Prof. C. L. Dociittle of the University of Pennsylvania. In addressing the first meeting of the graduate school in Boston Hall, Prof.

Doolittle declared that by the year 3000 astronomy will be a more exact science, and that the distance of the earth from the stars will be more accurately calculated. "Much time wasted by astcnom-ers," he said, 'would be saved by the formation of a 'trust, which would 1iave concentrated power and unlimited money for instruments and research.

S. GABEL, IJELOIT, CLAIMS A UNIQUE RECORD. He Ate Biscuits Made from Wheat Grown on His Farm Just One-half Hour from the Time tlio Grain Was Cut. Kansas City, Oct. 12.

A unique "world's championship" is held by "Will S. Gabel of Beloit, secretary of the Mitchell County Statewide Fair Association, who this week is visiting the American Royal Stock Show. Gabel claims, the world's short time championship in transforming standing grain to "light" biscuits. His record is thirty minutes flat. There have been numerous endeavors in this particular class, he says.

Mr. Gabel's record was made with the aid of his motor car, and the wheat in the process passed through all the ordinary stages the field, header box, thresher, mill and bakery all in thirty minutes. "Some of us farmers got into a discussion as to how quickly this could be done," said Mr. Gabel yesterday. "It arose over an article in a farm journal which stated that someone had done it in just an hour.

I thought I cculd beat that, despite the fact that my farm was a mile and a half from the mill. "I made arrangements with the harvesters, millers and an uptown baker. The header entered the wheat field on my farm at 3:14 the afternoon of the day of contest-that was a few weeks ago. After one minute we gathered the heads from the box, carried them to a theshing machine which was under full steam in the same field. After another About half a bushel was sacked.

We placed it in the mctor car and made quick time to the door of the Beloit Milling Company's mill, a mile and a half from my farm. "The mill hands grabbed the sack and poured it' into the feed pipes just above the rollers. In three min-u'es it was crushed nd sifted. At 3:29 o'clock we hastened with the flour in the motor car to a bakery, three blocks away. Fourteen minu- THEY APPLY TO ALL KINDS OF VEHICLES RIG MUST NOT STAND AT NIGHT WITHOUT LIGHTS.

Dawson, attorney general, asserts thstt the governor has had less cause for complaint about the enforcement of the prohibitory law in his administration than in the term of Fred S. Jackson, who preceded Dawson. The statement was addressed to the people of Kansas and not to the governor. It said in part: "I have been absent from my office almost constantly for two weeks on official business, in which time Governor Stubbs has published throughout the state of Kansas and elsewhere the charge that he is 'compelled continuously to keep after me on matters of law and that during the term of my predecessor he 'could not recall a single controversy with him on any "In the closing six months of Attorney General Jackson's term Governor Stubbs referred seventy-two liquor complaints to Mr. Jackson.
