self in the classroom, explains Lippin-
cott’s Magazine; consequently his

lighted when he came home one noon
with the announcement, “I got one

Wild Honey.
The honey that comes out of a bee
tree Is not always as sweet as the old
time compliment, '‘sweet as a bee
tree,” might lead one to suppose. The
bees that run wild do not seem to have
the fine taste in nectar that their do-
mesticated cousins have. Sometimes
there are poisonous spots in wild hon-
ey—at least there are legends to that
effect—and often, if the colony is old
and the comb large, the honey is
black as right.
But the bee-hunter now, alas, to be
classed with professionals that have
passed on, cared little about discolora
tion and worried not at all about poi
eon. To find a bee tree meant the ex-
ercise of keen eyesight, woodcraft, pa-
tience and judgment. The wandering
bee seemed to have a prejudice against
. going straight Ut the hive. He mosey-
ed along from tlower toliower, stop-
ped to talk or fight with a fellow bee,
or, if ho knew he was being followed,
dived into thickets and hummed
straight across some bottomless bog.
So when the light tree was located,
and the comb laid bale, it was well
won. It was as treasure trove, earn-
ed by the blisters on the shoveler’s
bands.

In all there was not an entire 160

of which contained less than an acre.
Many of the tracts were narrow strips

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
Experience of a Southern Man,
"Pleafe allow mo to thank the origi-
nator of Postuin, which in my case,
speaks for itself,” writes a Fla. man.
“1 formerly drank fo much coffee
that my nervous system was almost a
■wreck.” (Tea is just as injurious be-
cause it contains caffeine, tho drug
found in coffee. 1 “My physician told
me to quit drinking it but I had to
have something, so I tried Fostum.
“To my great surprise 1 saw quite
a change in my nerves in about 10
days. That was a year ago and now
my nerves are steady and 1 don’t have
those bilious sick headaches which I
rcgularlj bad while drinking coffee.
“Fostum seems to have body-build-
ing properties and leaves the head
clear. And I do not have the bad
taste in my mouth when 1 get up morn-
ings. When Fostum is boiled good
and strong, it is far better in taste
than coffee. My advice to coffee drink-
ers ss to try Fostum and be con-
vinced.”
