NEW BOAT
Princess M*y is Being Made
Over
Aooor'ing to the description of the
f'nworemenu being made on the Prin
cess May, received by H. B. Dunn,
agwnt of the Canadian Pacific Steam
?hip Company, when she appears in
this port atom Ma* 1, she will be prac
tica'.'y a new vessel and will hardly be
"*x>g aiied by those familiar with her.
"Mil be fasfier than before by sever
ed.
aany respects the interior of the
e*s May will resemble that of the
*ss Victoria. She is luxuriously
up She will hare double the
ofer accommodation she had be
, there being 73 staterooms, where
she had only 41.
fre are on the upper deck 35 state
all of which open on the promo
te le walk There ts also an observa
Son-room forward on this deck, after
s p an of the one on the Princess Vic
toria. From the observation -room a
stair runs down to the main deok. At
the afterpart of the ship on tbe upper
deck is a smoking room, which is also
on the same plan as that on tbe Prin
cess Victoria. About amidships a wide
?pace has been left for p-omenade pur
poses, where one can go from one side
of tbe ?hip to tbe other without wa!k
entire length of the vessel.
On tm afterpart of the upper deck is
a sxall saloon ana social hail, as for
merly. - 1
^On the main tfeck great changes
have been wrought. From the smok
ing-room. running aft, the whole inte
rior of the ship is one large social hall,
the rooc> on e.ther side openimg Into
iv. On this deck there are 43 first- 1
c!as? ?tat rooms, ail large andjeomfort
abie. with doub e lower and single up- j
per berths. There are also two bath !
rooms and several toilet rooms. The
staterooms open into the large social
ball.
The dining sa'oon has been moved'
from amidsbins to the sfterpait of the
?hip on the main deck ard will be one
of the feature* of the boat. Onegrrat
advantage the Princess Mav will have
over her previous arrangement will be |
that a pa-senger can get to and from
any part of ihe vessel without going i
OJt?ide on deck. From the upper deck
taere are two 2'gh's of stairs, either of i
which can be used as a means of com
municator wiib the ma r. cock.
Tbe bath snd toilet room* will be ?
fitted up in tbe most modern style; and
taken all in a.l the Princess May will
be one of the finest ve>sels running up |
and down t his coast.
Though some of '<er freight space has
been atcrinced for tbe betterment of j
her pass Dger accommodations she will
be able to handle a large cargo.

"Pa Ferklns, hare you gone and got
J a sunstroke or hit your foot a whack
with the ioeT"
"N-no. I've got an Idea!"
"Shoo: Now. Pa Ferklns, dont you
|> to roolin' with them squashes and
tryin' to make citrons or pumpkins out
of them. When people want squashes
they don't want anything else."
"Squashes be hanged:" he indignant
ly shouted. "I tell you I've got nn Idea
that will make us rich as John Jacob
Astor within two years! It's goin' to
upset the hull world!"
"La met Sit down on the steps and
tell me about It while I finish this pie
and get It into the oven. If you've got
an !dea It's something new, and I hope
It won't strike In and make you sick.
Now, then, what is It?"
"You've 8 eon a beehive, of course?"
"I wasn't born blind."
"You know that a swarm of bees
swarms ewry year?"
"Of course."
"But why do they swarm ?"
"Why does a bull go around pawin'
the earth and bellerin' ? He does It be
cause if s his nature. It's the nature of
bees to swarm every spring, anil what
are you goln' to do about it?"
"That's it? that's the idea? that's Just
what I wanted you to say!" exclaimed
Pa Perkins as he rolled off the door
steps in his excitement.
"Well, I've said It, and now what
?f It?"
| A Four-story Story
"A swarm or Dees swarms uecausu
the swarm pets so large that there
ain't room for all In the hire. If there
was room there'd be 110 swarmln'.
Can't you understand that?"
"Y-e-s, you may be right."
"For two weeks before the swarmin'
takes place they are all upsot and
loatin' around. The same Is the case
for two weeks afterward. There's a
workin' month lost. S'pose that could
be saved? Wouldn't they produce a
heap more money? Wouldn't the own
er of the hives be saved a heap of
bother and trouble?"
"It looks that way, pa, but"?
"Now don't go to throwin' any cold
water until you hear it all. S'posin' I
bad a four story beehive. That would
give two swarms twice the room they |
have now. Havln' twice the room,
they wouldn't swarm ouly ouce In two
years instead of every year. Do you
seethe p'int?"
"I seem to, but lemme see how that
pie is comin' on. Now go ahead ag in.
Why not make an eight story hive, and
then they wouldn't swarm but once In
four years?"
"It would have to be as big as a
house for that," answered th.i man
with an idea. "I'll start with a fouf
story and see how that works."
"What! Are you goln' into bees?"
"I am, Hanner. I'll set to work this
very day on a four story hive and be
fore sundown toinorrer I'll have two
swarms of bees into It By thunder,
but I've hit it!"
"Now, pa!'*
"I ain't swearin'; I'm jest a leetle ex
cited. How on earth Christopher Co- ;
lumbus. George Washington and Napo
leon Bonaparte passed over the idea I
can't understand. It's the biggest thing
mortal man ever thunk out, and 1 11
see about havin' it patented nest week.
Meanwhile don't you lisp a word. On
your life, don't mention it to a single
person. If they ask what the four sto
ry beehive Is, tell 'em It's a henhouse."
The wife promised, and the husband
went to the barn and began his work
at once. It was two days before he had
the hive in place. Each swarm had
two full floors to itself, and when they
got too large the first could move up
Into the second and the third Into the
fourth. Each swarm had its own front
and back doors, and if they didn't get
along in a neighborly way It was not
the builder's fault. A farmer six miles
sway had swarms to sell, and when
the big hive was ready Mr. Perkins
got a hoi ?e and wagon and went after
inmates. The farmer wanted to talk
about bees, their habits, their little idi
oms, and to give his customer some
pointers, but Mr. Perkins was on his
guard. Not a word did he say to
give his secret away. He brought the
bees home at night and arranged the
hives so that they must leave them in
the morning for the larger affair, and
when he went to bed he rubbed his
hands and said to bis wife:
"Hanner, I can't comprehend bow I
ever got that idea, but it s goin to
bring us in bar'ls and bar'ls of money.
When you are rollin' in diamonds you 11
know who to be thankful to."
The sun came up hot and red next
morning, and as soon as it burned up
the mist the bees were heard from.
Each swarm was willing to occupy the
new hive, bnt each wanted it all for
Itself. It didn't take long to start a
scrap and three minutes after it start
ed it took In all the Insects. After a
beautiful old row they suddenly made
op their minds that "the man higher
up" was responsible for the whole
thln(T and they went after him. In
cidentally they jabbed Aunt Hanner
about a dozen times. Incidentally also
they went for the neighbors on either
side and then continued on into town
and the number of victims finally tal
lied up about 150. There was mourn
ing and lamentation galore and when
the mob finally reached the Perkins'
house to wreak its vengeance they
found the hens trying to take posses
sion of the big hive and Pa Perkins
so swathed in bandages that they could
not even see an eyelash as he feebly
explained:
"Them bees ought to have goue In
there and behaved themselves, but they
wouldn't do it and here I've lost as
good as three days and them squasbea
won't amount to shucks."
