BEES MAKING PEACH HONEY
Problem of Using Juice of Ripe Fruit
Is Solved by the Owner of a
Ranch in New Mexico.
Roswell, N. M.—Bees in the Pecos
valley have solved the problem of
making honey from the juice of ripe
peaches. It is the latest and most
dainty product from the fertile and
famous Pecos valley. The first public
exhibition of the peach honey will be
seen at the Roswell Products Exposi¬
tion October 5, 6 and 7.
The peach honey will come from
the ranch of E. W. Mirable, located
near Artesia. So far as peach grow¬
ers and bee-keepers can ascertain this
will be the first honey made from the
juice of ripe peaches in the country.
Honey has been produced in many
places made partly from the nectar of
peach blooms, but not before from the
ripe fruit
On Mr. Mirable’s ranch he pro¬
duces large quantities of honey each
year from alfalfa and mesquite
blooms, and thus far the bees have
been satisfied with that sort of mate¬
rial. This year there has been an
abundance of both kinds of blooms,
but the bees decided to try ripe
peaches.
Recently Mr. Mirable found the
bees at work in his peach orchard. On
some large peaches he found as many
as a dozen bees hard at work. They
were able to puncture the skin of the
peach and not harm the fruit, and get
all the peach juice they wanted.
For three weeks he kept a close
watch and the bees have worked with
great diligence in the big peach or¬
chards through the valley near Arte¬
sia. They have stored the peach
sweets in the hives at the ranch and
the new crop of peach honey will be
ready for market during the coming
month. The first to be taken will be
shown at the Roswell exposition
October 5, 6 and 7.
The quality of peach honey is some¬
thing that must be left to the readers
imagination. Being a new product
there are no samples, nor are there
experts to dilate on its daintiness.
The announcement of the new prod¬
uct has aroused a great deal of inter¬
est and Mr. Mirable has been advised
to re-christen his ranch and caU it
Peach Honey Ranoh.

OPEN-AIR THEATER POPULAR
Danish House In Denmark Is Throng¬
ed by Patrons of Drama in Deer
Park, Just Out of Capital.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—Among the most
interesting experiences of travelers in
Scandinavia this summer has boen
open-air theatergoing. For the splen
did weather has induced numerous
dramatic enterprises in scenes of
quite unusual beauty. Such has been
their success that the forest theater
is likely to become a summer institu¬
tion in northern Europe.
Probably the finest natural theater
In the world is in Denmark, in the
royal deer park, about six miles out
of the capital. There the avenues of
mighty trees Berve as wings and
background to a stage fronted by a
beech encircled slope that forms a
perfect auditorium. Eight thousand
people can be accommodated at every
performance and the scene, when the
space Is filled with gayly dressed
patrons of the drama, far surpasses
that of a gala performance In more
pretentious but artificial surround¬
ings.
For such scenery a careful selec¬
tion of plays is needed, but when that
has been done the materials are there
for infinitely greater realism than Is
possible in a brick and mortar play¬
house. For instance, there is space
shade and distance in which to open
ate advancing and receding players
while the effect of the singing Is con
vincing because it has no reliance on
behind the scenes tricks.
With no performance marred by the
weather, the Copenhagen open-air
theater has had a wonderful season.
Their "playhouse” has been the one
cool spot In all the range of entertain¬
ments.
Four plays have been given— “A
Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Schiller’s
“Die Raueber,” Sophocles “Antigone,"
and an old Danish love story with a
tragic vein. As the stars in those per¬
formances came the chief actors and
actresses from the state and other
leading Copenhagen theaters, so there
was the best of talent as well as the
most ideal setting.
Spectators, both from home and for¬
eign points, were thrilled by the fight
in “Die Raeuber” between the bri¬
gands and a troop of pursuing horse¬
men, and charmed by Mme. Clara
Wieth’s original conception of Puck
in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Reluctantly have they returned to
town by the light of the moon and
from this fascinating playing In the
noble forest under the blue sky.
MOTORMAN SEES MANY BUGS
Army of Potato Beetles Halts 8treet
Car Many Minutes at North
Rehoboth, Mass.
-'rovidence, R. I.—“What in thun¬
der?” exclaimed a moto: aan on the
Taunton & Pawtucket street railway
as his car came to a sliding stop at
the foot of a hill in North Rehoboth
with the power on and the wheels
spinning at top speed. Then he stared
with fascinated gaze at a wide yellow
streak waving across the road ahead
of him and felt of his head.
“Don’t turn off the power, Char¬
ley; keep the wheels turning bo’s
they can t invade the car," shouted
the conductor.
“So s what can’t invade the car?”
queried the motorman. "You don’t
have to go batty just because I’m
seein’ things.”
"You’re not seeing things, Char¬
ley. Them’s potato bugs oh a migra¬
tion.”
"Sure enough,” the motorman ac¬
quiesced, gazing at the moving mass.
“Gee, just look at the way they dig
the grass out by the roots! That’s
the cause of all the dust, too, isn’t it?”
As ter as the curious pair and the
passengers could see was one moving
mass of potato bugs. They kept go¬
ing by for nearly an hour, it is said,
polishing pebbles on their way,
scratching bark off trees, and actually
running to each other’s defense and
clinging to the legs of birds when at¬
tacked.
Finally, the motorman managed to
get his car started over the slippery
insect mass by using sand. When he
reached the barn he put in a requi¬
sition for a large can of paris green.
RULES HUSBAND COMES FIRST
Massachusetts Court Upholds Man’s
Right to Umbrella If but One In
the Household.
Northampton, Mass.—In district
court the other day Henry Johnson,
carpenter at the State Agricultural
college, was charged with assaulting
his wife. Wife, son and daughter tes¬
tified against him. Johnson said the
incident occurred on a recent rainy
day. There was but one umbrella In
the house and a dispute arose wheth¬
er he or his wife should have It. John¬
son said his wife took possession of
the umbrella and he used no more
force than was necessary to wrest tt
from her. As there was but one um¬
brella it seemed to him only fitting
that as the head of the family he
should have first claim upon it. The
court held that Johnson acted within
his rights and acquitted him.
Autos Pay State $230,000.
Hartford, Conn.—The ConnecUcut
automobile registration bureau’s col¬
lections for the year ended September
30 shows fees totaling $230,000. Of
this amount $2,700 was finee.
WEDDING TANGLE IS CURIOUS
Boyhood Chums Unknowingly Ex¬
change Mates After Divorce
Meeting Was Accidental.
Los Angeles, Cal.—A matrimonial
tangle whereby two men who had
been boyhood friends married unknow¬
ingly each other’s divorced wife, was
disclosed the other day w-hen the two
couples met by accident at a Los An¬
geles hotel, and found that they had
traveled across the continent on the
same train.
They are Mr. and Mrs. George
Richardson of New York and Mr. and
Mrs. William S. Holmes of Boston.
Mrs. Richardson was Mrs. Holmes and
Mrs. Holmes had been Mrs. Richard¬
son.
The four came upon one another by
accident, and the men recognizing
each other as old boyhood friends, had
grasped hands when the formal intro¬
duction of the wives brought about the
discovery.
The women laughed merrily, and
took the whole matter as a joke, while
the men appeared perplexed and d-um
founded. The men had shaken hands
cordially, and each turned to his wife
to proudly introduce her to his old
friend when the women spied their
divorced husbands.
“Why, Mary,” said Mr. Richardson,
“On my word, if it isn't Edith," ex¬
claimed Mr. Holmes. The women gig¬
gled and laughed merrily, although
disconcerted when they, too, learned
the truth.
Hangs Head Downward.
Pittsburg, Pa.—Abraham Motley, a
painter, while on a 60-foot stack, fell
and his foot caught in a number of
guy wires 45 feet above the top of a
building. After hanging head down¬
ward for an hour, he was rescued un¬
injured.
