Bees Swarm in Coupe.

A swarm of bees appeared on East Houston street the other afternoon, and after buzzing around for a while finally selected the electric coupe belonging to Mrs. Frank Winerieh, which was standing on the north side of Houston street, as the best place in which to settle. Hundreds of them gathered on the upholstered interior of the car and proceeded to make themselves at home in the imprbyised hive. Mrs. Winerieh came out of a store to find her electric occupied by the, unwelcome visitors. Three newsboys enlisted to drive them out, only to be driven back in- defeat by the usurpers. Then somebody thought of a smudge. Rags were wrapped on the end of a stick, then lighted, and the smoking weapon was tnrust through one of the windows. It proved effective, and shortly thereafter the .bees left in search of more friendly territory in which to make their future home.—San Antonio (Texas) Cor. New York Sun.
