HkFscovery in the
BFnD NEAR SAPULPA.
BF McKay, a well-known oil
■From Sapulpa, related a very odd
ISffy to a Democrat reporter to-day.
was that of a bee sting resulting
■n the finding of a gold mine of honey
Fin the rock banks near Sapulpji.
[ M. L. Kelley and John Chaney, two
prominent oil men of Sapulpa, are
the parties implicated in the story.
Mr. Kelley and Mr. Chaney started
out Monday morning from Sapulpa to
drive to a well they are drilling on
the boggy land, seven miles west of
Sapulpa. The men were about half
way to the well when suddenly they
were attacked by a large drove of
bees. The bees swarmed about the
buggy and stung the men and horses
until they were compelled to seek
refuge. They whipped up their team
and drove to the cabin of an Indian
named Watahee. Here they told of
their adventure and had the pain
alleviated by the Indian, who put
some kind of preparation on their
wounds.
In conversation with the Indian
concerning the occurrence they were
told of the many bees in the hills
and caves about three miles west of
Sapulpa. They did not believe this
story at first. He said that the In
dians around his cabin were getting
gallons of honey in the caves every
day. This set the oil men to think
ing. That afternoon they went to
the place he told them of. On th^ir
way they met an old Indian woman
who was carrying two pails of spark
ling strained honey. This encouraged
them.
They came upon a big post oak in
the field. This had been hacked in
several places and the honey was
dripping from the cut in the tree
into regular pools on the ground.
They did not stop at the tree, but
went on to the caves. As they
neared the rock cliffs hey could hear
a droning like that of sighing pine
trees, so many in number were the
bees. As they came closer they could
see a kind of black cloud hovering
before the rocks. There must have
been fifty big swarms of bees around
the rocks.
When they were close up to the
cliffs they noticed huge cracks in the
rocks, and large holes. In these the
honey was dripping almost in small
streams. There were some twenty
buckets and pails setting in the rocks
catching the honey. The Indians are
said to break the cobs of honey with
sticks, and let the honey run out into
pails. A pail will fill in two days’
time. It is said that the finding of ■
this great. bee industry by the oil j
men accounts for the great amount I
of strained honey the Indians have I
been marketing. It was thought be- I
fore that the Indians raised the bees.
The oil men say that the sand
stones in the cliffs are just saturated
with honey and a little piece of stone
in a. bucket of water will sweeten it.
The discoverers are at a loss to know
how the bees eame to be there. It
is said by Indians and other old
timers in this section that about ten
years ago an old Indian who had a
few bees was killed. It is thought ;
by them that his bees went wild and 1
multiplied and increased in number
until at present there are millions of
honeymakers.—Tulsa Democrat.

Fought Fish With an Axe.
Hon. Thomas McEvoy, of Chicago,
to-day performed the unusual feat of
catching a big fish with an axe.
Mr. McEvoy was wading out to
trim off some piles that form the
foundation for the pier in front of ■
his palatial summer home. Friends ।
on shore were surprised to see him
jump almost out of the water, and
then swing his axe as if he were at
tacking the winter's wood supply.
Five minutes later he waded ashore
with a thirty-two-pound red horse.
Mr. McEvoy said the fish tried to
bite a chunk out of his left leg, and
he had to kill It in self-defense. —

Mexico's Forgotten Towns.
The Geographical Commission ap
pointed seven years ago to map the
towns of Mexico has reported the dis
covery of 7679 towns which were
not officially known to exist and were
subject to no Federal control. While
some of these places range from 5000
to 15,000 population, most of them
are presumably small villages.—New
York World.
At the Boarding House.
“It must have been a very tender
hearted butcher who killed this
lamb,” said the Cheerful Idiot, paus
ing in the sawing of his chop.
“Why?” kindly asked the oldest
boarder.
“He must have hesitated three or
four years before striking the fatal
blow.” —Judge.
Against the Open Pulpit.
Thirty widely known clergymen
and 1300 communicants of the Pro
testant Episcopal church have peti
tioned Bishop Ozi W. Whitaker
against.‘the open pulpit,” but he re
fused to act, saying that he is fully
persuaded that the amendment is in
no sense an infringement upon the
fundamental law of the church.
In a Nutshell.
“Big talker,” declared the Indian
who had been listening to a local
candidate. “Heap scrap.”
“And what if he is not elected?”

the pretty soft silks and satins, crepe
de chine and chiffon and materials of
the sort are much in vogue for the
odd waists and for the gowns cash-
•
I mere, challis, voile and the like are
to be extensively worn this season.
This model has the great advantage
of allowing a choice of the chemisette
edged with banding or of a plainer
waist with the tucks extended to the
collar and made of one material
throughout. The sleeves are dis
tinctly novel and graceful and can be
made with the long deep cuffs match
ing the blouse of one material extend
ing over the wrists or can be cut off
in three-quarter lengths, all new
styles being popular for blouses of
the sort. They are laid in tucks at
the inside edges and fall in graceful
folds at the other.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing, and itself consists of the front
and the backs. It is laid in fine
tucks, and when the chemisette is
used it is cut out on indicated lines.
The sleeves are in one piece each,
but arranged over fitted linings,
made with upper and under portions,
and these linings are faced to form
deep cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size is three and
three-quarter yards twenty-one or
twenty-four, two and a half yards
thirty-two or two and one-quarter
yards forty-four inches wide with
1 seven-eighth yard of all-over lace and

Torchon Lace.
Many sets of underlinen made for
the brides and debutantes of the com
ing season are trimmed with real tor
chon lace. This is a durable, service
able lace that should never have gone
out of fashion.
Misses' Five Gored Skirt.
The skirts that close at the front,
in what is known as coat style, are
among the latest developments of
fashion and are exceedingly smart in
effect. They suit young girls admir
ably well, and this one will be found
available for the future as well as
for present needs. In the illustration
it is made of serge stitched and
closed with buttons and buttonholes,
and serge is favorite for the present
and incoming seasons, but linen, pop-
Imette and the like are charming so
made, and new skirts of the sort are
quite likely to be in demand, while
also all the heavier skirting and suit
ing materials will be found admlr
aole.
The skirt is cut on the new lines,
and gives the fashionable slender ef
fect to the figure, yet it has width
enough at the lower edge to mean
comfort in walking. It can be made
with habit back or inverted pleats as
liked. There are five gores and the
front gore is finished with a hem at
its left edge and buttoned over onto
the side gore. The upper edge is at
tached to a belt. When inverted
pleats are used they are stitched flat
for several inches below the belt. For

ion this season is the matching of
the sleeve to the bodice instead of to
the yoke. This does not mean that
the sleeve is of the same material as

CAUGHT A SEA BAT.
Strange Fish Taken in a Seine Off
North Carolina Coast.
One of the rarest specimens of the
fish kingdom known to wat^s co»-
•tiguous to the North Carolixa coast
was captured in a seine at Mason
boro Sound Monday by William
Hewlett, a fisherman. The fish, which
was brought to the city last even
ing, is what is called “the sea bat”
and It is a perfect reproduction of a
leather wing bat on a large scale.
The fish is about fifteen inches long
and about thirty inches across the
back.
Strange to state it had a thin
threadlike tail about fifteen inches
in length and on each side of t.he
rear appendage were two perfectly
formed gloved feet, with a smaller
diversion having the exact appear
ance of a thumb, with the other part
of the hand mittened. The mouth
of the strange specimen was about
five inches across and on each side
of the mouth or the under side of
me body there wore five “strainers”
or holes through which the fish is
said to rid itself of refuse products
resulting from the forage it picks up
at the bottom of the sea. The top
of the fish was a dark slate color
and the under part of the body was
white.
One old negro fisherman more than
70 years of age stated that this was
only the second specimen of the sea
bat he had ever seen in his long ex
perience as a fisherman. The sped-
UPWARD START
After Changing From Coffee to Pos
turn.
Many a talented person is kept
back because of the interference of
coffee with the nourishment of the
body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils, and a Tenn, lady’s ex
perience along these Unes is worth
considering. She says:
“Almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By
the time I was fifteen I was almost a
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung,
no strength to endure the most triv
ial thing, either work or fun.
"There was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with me.
The little I did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth. J
finally quit coffee and drank hot wat
er, but there was so little food J
could digest, I was literally starving;
was so weak I could not sit up long
at a time. ,
“It was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. I drank part of
it and after an hour I felt as though
I had had something to eat — felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Pos
tum in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day I can eat and
digest anything I want, walk as much
as I want. My nerves are steady.
“I believe the first thing that did
me any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and I use it alto
gether now instead of coffee.”
"There’s a Reason.”
