For the Children
A Charming Little Girl
Is Mies Gloria Gould.
1910, by American Press Association.
MISS GT.OltIA GOULD.
Don't you think that a Uttlo girl of
six Is rather young to be Interviewed
by it newspaper reporter and to have
her picture- snapped by the camera
man? Well, this experience happened
recently to little Miss Gloria Gould
when she was an Interested spectator
nt a society circus given at Georgian
Court, the magnificent home of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. George J. Gould,
nt LaUewood, N. J.
Miss Gloria was not at all scared at
having the camern pointed at her; but,
like many grownup people, she object
ed, just nt first, to bo photographed for
publication. The picture shows what
n charming little girl she Is in her play
clothes.
This little lady, who some day will
have a splendid big coming out party
Kke those of her older Bisters, was
very much broken up the day this pic
ture was taken over the sudden death
f her pet dog. Buster Brown, which
was her constant companion and the
family pet. Miss Gloria and the fortu
nate Buster used to have many a tine
romp on the lawns at Georgian Court,
itnd the small heiress felt very much
aggrieved that her comrade had quit
Iter companionship for that of the oth
er doggies In dog heaven.
Fox and Hounds.
The boys and girls in the school at
Monticello, N. Y., might have thought
that they were having an object les
son In the gnmo of fox and hounds
when a wild fox ran into the school
room with two doga in close pursuit.
It was not really an object lesson.
No teacher would make so much
excitement over the teaching of any
ne subject. The excitement was
great enough at first, but as the fox
and the dogs circled the room the lit
tle girls climbed up on the desks and
screamed and the little boys helped
the dogs chase the for. The hunted
beast finally found refugo under the
teacher's desk, where ho snarled at the
dogs and the children and kept them
at bay. He would not let any ono
touch hlin, but at last ono of the boys
succeeded in putting a noose over his
head. The boys tried to get him out
sdiTC, but he struggled so bard that
be choked to death.
8hip' Eyes.
In the oldeu days, when the science
of navigation was not as well under
stood as now, It was tho custom to
earve in the bows of ships a pair of
largo eyes, with tho notion thnt they
would watch the dangers of tho deep
and avoid catastrophes. Faith in such
an Idea has long been dead, but the
eyes aro still to bo seen on ships.
Through them pass the anchor chains
when tho ship Is safe In port, and thus,
though useless In tho days of the old
fancy, they fill n good purpose now.
Tho Rejected Valentine.
Sambo went a-courtln'
Of Miss 'Phella Green.
Phella was the hardsom'st
Gal he'd ever seen.
Sambo with his banjo
Stopped to play a tune
Neath Miss 'Phella's window
In the lleht o' tho moon.
Played ho there bo softly,
SaiiR he Bone of love;
Then all of a sudden
Cried voice from above:
"What you want dar, nlBgahT
Stop dat noise, I say I
Why are you hangln'
noun' heah anyway I"
Sambo, sort of frightened.
Lifted up his eye.
Saw Miss 'Phella's mommer,
Thought that he should diet
Vain he tried to answer.
He couldn't speak at all.
So he leaned In anguish
For strength against the wall.
"Git you off I" cried mommer
Of Miss 'Phella, mind.

EC KEEPING
PROTECTING BEES IN SPUING.
Beehives Must Be Kept Warm la
the Springtime.
For obtninlng the best results the
beehives must be kept warm In the
spring. Some advocate putting the
hives In wintering cases when re
moved rrom the -ellar. This, how
ever entails extra work nnd expense,
for the apiarist that practices cel
lar wintering has generally no win
tor cases.
The following method ol protection
requires slight expense nnd little
work anil s at the samu Hiiih eliic
lont. A piece of dark colored build
ing paper Is cut as wide as the hivo
COVERING HIVES WITH PAPEU.
Is hlsjh without the bottom hnard
and the cover and long enough to
reach around tho hive with the ends
overlapping several Inches.
The paper should be started at
tho center of one of the ends and
fastened at each of the cornprs as
It is folded, with strips of wood
about an inch v.ide nnd
as long as tho hive one uses Is
deep The paper can be used more
than one season. It should be left
on until surplus apartments are to
be given.
KnsUMihif; n Queen Cell In n IIIvh.
When a queen-cell Is given to a
nucleus. It is generally fastened on
a central part of one of the combs.
This Is done, oven If tho coll be out
from the same comb and fastened on
again, for bees are quite likely to
Dull', queen-cells on the edges of
the conibs, where they are kept
warm enough In a strong colony,
but - re In danger of being chilled in
a nucleus The Instruction former
ly was to cut with the cell a wed re
shaped piece of the comb, then cut
a like-shaped hole In the comb and
Insert the cell. An easier way Is
to lay the cell directly against the
surface of tho comb and fasten It
there ".lth a hive staple. Let the
cell be at one end of the staple, and
press the othe. teg of the staple
deep into the comb.
Hero Is still another way that can
be used only with self-spacing
frames: Lay one of the brood-combs
on its side and iay the cell upon it.
Lay upon this another comh. take
hold of both together by the top
bars and set them In tho hive. Of
course, the cell with the adhering
part of comb must be sufficiently
large to be slightly pinched by tho
opposing sides of the two combs.
This last way Is especially good
for putting a queen-cage In a hive.
Troubles of n Bee Fancier.
A West Philadelphia bee fancier
Is being greatly troubled by a swarm
of dragon flies. He could not Imag
ine at first what attracted them
every evening around his beehives,
until by clote observation he dis
covered that they waylaid Uie re
turning bees when they were heav
ily laden with honey and ate them.
He does not know how to get rid of
the pests. Tie cannot poison them,
they are too quick to oe caught In a
net, and too small to bo shot. He Is
racking his orains for a method to
stop their depredations. The loss
of a fow bees would not hurt him,
but '-ne entire swarm has become un
easy, and consequently the output
of honey is much diminished. Phil
adelphia Record.
Carbolic Acid for Swarms.
A bottle of diluted carbolic acid,
a (iece of sponge and a long
pole. are recommended to Do
always on hand in the api
ary at the swarming- time. If a
swarm settles in a high or unde
sirable place, quickly pour some acid
on the sponge, thrust it up where
the swarm Is and like a cloud the
bees scatter. If the swarm settles
In a'place still undesirable, the act
Is to be repeated, and the tendency
each time Is for the swarm to settle
lower; but the editor warns that too
many applications may cause tho
swarm to leave.
Air-Slacked Lime for Hobbcr-Becs.
I wish to give some experience
with robber-bees among my bees,
and tho way I have stopped them.
When I found robbing going on I
closed the hive-entrance till only a
single bee could pass through, and
then took air slacked Umc and ap
plied It freely at all places where
robbcr-becs were trying to force an
entrance. I applied It directly on
the bees and awaited results. I
could also find the one.i that wero
robbing. E. Phillips. Cantrll, la.
Keep Bee. Strong
Leaving plenty of honey In the fall,
equalizing stores In the spring and
giving protection to the hives In the
spring, If they are not already In a
sheltered place, will help much in
keeping colonies strong throughout
even a season such as this one.
A Strange
CclS
The Artist and the Pictures
of Mystery
By CARROL II. PIERCE
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation. 1911.
I am an artist. Being in poor health
my doctor ordered mo abroad, and 1 1
went to Florence, Italy.
I rented rooms of n widow aud her
laughter, of the name of Mlccle. They
occupied tho top lloor of a building ou 1
the river Arno. I used n front room
for a studio and a rear room for a bed- j
room. The mother was n middle aged
woman, the daughter about twenty
five. Their ancestors had boon well ,
off. but their estate had melted away,
and Sonora Mlccle nnd her daughter I
got on with difficulty. Blanca, tha !
daughter, was an artist but ai Indlf
fcront one.
Nevertheless there was something
remarkable about Blanca Mlccle. Shu
was neither pretty nor homely. Tha
eyes of the Itnlinns are handsome, but
Sennrlna Micelo's eyes were more than
handsome; they were, so to speak,
compelling. Thnt is, when she looked
out of them at me I felt a strango
force compelling me to do her bidding.
Not that there was apparent exorcise
of will. She wns gentleness Itself. Tho
power she exercised was rather per
suasive than forceful.
Not long after 1 arrived in Florence
I foil ill and did not leave my bed for
weeks. Sonora Mlccle nnd her daugh
ter both nursed tne.
A portion of tho time I was in either
a stupor or delirium, I don't know
which. At such times 1 was very
weak and on coming to myself usually
felt as if I had been doing exhaustivo
work, though I had been in my bed
all the while, where it would not have
been possible for me to do any work
even If I had been mentally capable.
My illness occurred during the win
ter, and when tho spring came on and
tho weather began to warm up Sonora
Mlccle used to put me in an easy chair
and wheel me out on to one of those
little balconies common in Florence
houses. We were on tho Arno em
bankment (the Lung Arno, they call It
there), in sight of the green hills that
surround the city. Indeed, from my
balcony I could see some six or seven
miles distant the heights on which
Fiosole, the origiunl Florentine settle
ment, was made. During three more
months I spent much of the day on
this balcony in fancy painting pictures
of the scenes spread out before me.
One of these was the undulntlug plain
beyond the city's edge and the heights
of Flosule beyond the plain. There is
a big clock tower at Fiosole which it
seemed to me would make an attrac
tive feature in my Imaginary picture,
and 1 t-peut hours working It in. An
other view I dreamed of was the Arno,
directly beneath mo. winding under
its arched bridges toward the south,
nnd other nearer and consequently
greener hills. There is something in
the atmosphere of Italy to intensify
the color of a landscape, and on such
days 1 delighted in the imaginative
painting I could not do in reality.
But 1 always noticed that such days
instead of giving me strength drew
upon what I had.
Fortunately I recovered before the
hot weather set in and after convalesc
ing In tho Invigorating climate of the
Swiss Alps went to Paris, where I re
mained some time.
Strolling one day down one of the
Pnrlslnn boulevards, I stepped into a
picture shop. The dealer, fancying to
make n customer of me, advanced nnd
questioned me as to what I was look
ing for. It occurred to mo to ask for
ono of my own pictures, not that I ex
pected to find one, but that to ask for
the work of any speclnl artist would
make it appear that I was not looking
nt his wares with no Intention of buy
ing. "nave you anything of Adrian
Giles?" I asked.
"Giles, the American?"
"Yes."
"Certainly. I hnve n very remark
able piece of bis work. Come this
way."
He led me to one of his display
rooms nnd up to a picture that had
evidently been hung with considera
ble care. The subject was certainly
famlllnr to me, for it was the plain I
had overlooked nt Florence with tho
hills nnd Fiosole In tho distance. And
as I stood looking at It I recognized
not only tho Identical scene I had
painted In my day dreams, but my In
dividual style. Quickly bending to tho
lower left hand corner, n cap was put
upon ray nstonlshmont by seeing my
own nnme.
1 caught with both hands at tho rail
that extended nround tho room to
guard tho pictures. Here was a view
I had no remembrance of presenting,
but which I must have painted. It
was somo time before I recovered suf
ficient equanimity to further cxnmlno
ho painting, but when I did so I saw
nt onco that for tho first tlmo in my
life I had portrayed a scene exactly
as I saw It. What I mean Is that It
possessed nil the reality and beauty
with which my Imagination had en
dowed It.
"W-h e-r-e did you get It?" I Btam
mered.
"From a dealer whom I never saw
"flow do you know It Is n
flllcs?"
"I know It because I have koim t .
i-rnl of the artist's pictures. O u.li
I tried to Ivuy, but failed to tu .
deal, is now displayed In n su- p In i'
Boulevard des Itulleus. You may tit
It there. There Is the same iniinlMtiil;
able Individuality about It ns In this"
"What Is tho subject?"
"It Is also a Florentine scene, call"
'Up tho Arno." It taken In tln river
with the hills beyond. It, too. Is n
great picture."
Sly knees began to knok tore'liiM
My Jaws chattered; but not sudlcleiitl
to prevent my asking. "What do you
ask for this picture?"
"Twenty thousand francs."
"Great heavens! I had never re
ceived the half of that for a picture.
I looked at the man so astonished that
he lmstened to say:
"My profit will bo but TOO francs. 1
paid 10.500 francs for It."
Taking the number of the sho.i
whore he said the other picture was
to bo seen, I staggered out of the store
.nd was soon before the picture I had
also created In dreams. It. too, far
exceeded nny work I had over done.
The dealer told me ho had paid 27.000
francs for It.
Fortunately I occupied rooms with
an American friend In the Quat'ilrr
Latin and rushed home to tell h!ui
that I had discovered something which
if not explained would drive mo ernay.
lie listened to my story, but I could
see by his expression that he, too.
feared something had occurred to dis
turb my mental balance. Ho would
express no opinion till ho hud seen
tho paintings, nnd as I could not re
main quiet I Insisted on his going v.ilh
me at once for the purpose. lie did
so, and, being familiar with my work,
he pronounced tho pictures mine,
though they wero far beyond nny of
my work he had ever seen.
On our way back to our rooms
neither ho nor I said anything about
tho strange occurrence, but "when we
reached them ho sat down before mo.
lit a pipe aud said:
"While you were ill in Florence and
out of your head you undoubtedly
painted those pictures, not knowing
what you were doing; consequently
you retained no remembrance of
them."
"But I wasn't out of my head when
I was wrapped in the views given In
the pictures. Besides, how could 1
have done the work without the
Micelcs knowing It? And, knowing It.
they would have called my attention
to it."
My friend pondered awhile, blowluv
at the same time clouds of smoke, nnd
finally said:
"Whatever you have been physically
I'm sure you are all right now. But
If you wish an explanation go back
to Florence, see the people you board
ed with and got It from them."
Acting on his advice, I started that
evening. On the way I had time to
think over the matter of my Investiga
tion and decided to approach the
Mlivles without being known to them
On arrival I asked about them and
learned that they had been left a
legacy of some fifty thousand francs
Tills at onco assured me that they had
received the amount paid for my plf
tures. One morning I rang their bell
P.lanca answered the summons and
seeing me at the door, turned pale.
Going in, I asked her to call her
mother and told both of my experience
in Paris. At first they assumed to be
as much surprised as I; but, seeing that
I was not to be deceived, Sonora Ml
-e!e finally began a confession which
tlie senorlna finished.
"We did not suppose that you wouIl
ever happen to see your pictures," said
the former.
"Well, tell me where they came
from." 1 asked her. She looked at her
daughter.
"I can only tell you," said Blanca
"thnt I painted them while you were
sitting out In your chair on tho bal
conyhow I know not. All I do know
Is that It seemed to mo that It wai
your brain working with my hand."
I questioned her nnd cross questioned
her, eliciting nothing further except
that she had discovered some time bo
fore meetlug mo that she possessed
some strange power of the order com
monly called clairvoyant. My own In
terprotatlon of the Incident was that
not being able to do good work herself,
she had exercised this power over nic
to utilize my nblllty. Since she had
painted the pictures herself the oul)
fraud involved was her placing my
name on them. She did this not re
allzlug the pecuniary value of the pic
tures themselves and supposed she
could not sell them without n name
to them. She nnd her mother were
tempted chiefly because they were
financially In desperate straits. They
had sold the paintings through a
friend who appreciated their worth
and paid them all they brought ex
cept a bare commission. I told them
that they wero welcome to all they
had received for tho paintings. Tho
solo Interest I took in the matter was
a curiosity to know how the work had
been executed.
Every year brings to light new evl
donee to show that there aro subtle
forces acting psychically within us
that wo do not understand. I believe
thnt just as surely as the invention of
wireless telegraphy will como an ex
plnnntion of how Bianca MIcelo united
Vy nrtlstlc ability with her own per
sonnllty and of the union made a far
better work of art than I could have
produced by myself. It Is possible that
tho ndvantago came merely through a
certain suppleness' in her wrist or In
some other mechanlcnl feature that
was superior to mine, thus enabling
mo to attain an Ideal that I had never
been able to attain before with my less
perfect member. But this is a mere
hypothetical exposition of my own,
He Started the Trouble.
Mrs. Johnson had begun to learn
French nnd wns gleefully Informing
her husband of the rapid progress she
was making in her studies.'
"I'm afraid." remarked Johnson,
"that you'll soon grow tired. I've
known people tackle a foreign tongue,
expecting to know all about It In n few
weeks, but before they have mastered
even the rudiments their enthusiasm
has evaporated and they have given up
the task ns hopeless."
"Oh, that's not the case with me,"
declared Mrs. Johnson confidently. "I
am getting on splendidly, and Pro
fessor Dubois says I shnll soon begin
to think In French."
"Well." the husband murmured. "I
won't Interpose any further objection,
nnd I shall be glad when you nro able
to think In French. It will be some
thing you have been unable to do In
nny other language!"
The rule In carving holds pood ns t
