Do not let a word go forth From your lips so strong. That could count of little worth, Or commit a wrong-. A Pleasant Re-Union occurred at Detroit last week. Many of the prominent apiarists of North America were present, and we think there never was a more enthu- siastic gathering of bee-keepers in America. Had the banquet been added, it would have very much resMiibled the European gath- erings. Mr. Geo, E.

Harrison, of Peoria, Ills., the most prominent lady-bee-keeper of America, with some other lady apiarists, were present at the Detroit Convention last week. Mrs. Harrison was elected as the Vice- President for Illinois. Mr. H. Cliapnian, of Versailles, N.

He is a firm friend
