The Bee That Saved 4 kingdom.

"J.ek in the Pulpit" 81. Nicholas for Feb.
Here is fable that has never been
told in print, though it is very popu-
lar in the bee country.
Once upon a time, there was a bad
king, and the people wished him to
make certain good law.
''No," said he, II will not make
that law,-it is too good. 1t will make
peace. Here is the law wish to make
Then all my people will 60 to war"
The two documents lay in front of
him on the table all written out, and
whichever one he signed would be the
law of the land. He took up big
quill pen, drew the bad law nearer to
him, and dipped the pen in the ink.
just then, bee began to buzz. It
was wise bee.
"Z.zz-z.z! No zuch Flaw zhall pazz!'
buZZed the bee, over and over again;
but no one noticed him. Zign ze ozzer
Ze.0ZZer..Ze OZzer...Ze OZZZer!',
The king would not listen; so the
wise bee lit on his nose and stung him
justa little, still buzzing: ''Sign ze
oZzer ,ze ozZer, re ozzer!"
''0pen the window" roared the
king. "and drive out this bee, or kill
him!"
They opened the window. Out flew
the bee, and in rushed the wind. It
blew very hard. The papers tapped
and flew across the table. The bad
king was so mad that he stamped his
foot, seized one of the papers, and
signed it in a rage. There was his
name,-''King Blunderbuss,' ''.---and
nothing could alter it. Then he saw
that in his haste and rage he had
signed the good law. But he was too
proud to own his mistake.
The bee hurried to the garden and
whispered to the honeysuckles:
"Zome of your beet, t,----zome of your
bezt! Zhe good law is zigned, and all
zhall be peaze and happinezz!''
So the honeysuckles gave him all
their best honey. and the people out
side of the kings palace built great
bonfires and shouted with joy:
"Long live the king! Long live the
good King Blunderbuss!''
"Oho!" said the king to himself,
when he heard this; "that is the best
sound have heard for many year.
s'And after that, he was afraid to
give way to anger, for fear he might
sign bad law by mistake. The bee
did not have to light on hisno again
The king made only good laws. and to
the end Of his days his people shouted:
''Long live the king"

Minnesota Matters.

TIE MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
The annual report of the State His
torical Society has just been printed and laid
before the Legislature. It shows very graft
flying condition OF prosperity on the part of
the Society. During the past year there were
received over 700 works. The Library now
comprises 1908 bound, and 1C.015 unbound
books, or total of II, 900 publications, being
the largest collection in the State, and COM
prising great number of rare, curious and
valuable works, in addition to General Stand
ard literature, the whole valued at $4,000.
One Of the main objects, of course, is the COL
lection of material for tue history Of Minne-
sofa. On this subject, it's library is very
complete, and there is nothing too small or
apparently valueless to escape it's notice. It
endeavors to preserve every newspaper, book
and pamphlet printed in Minnesota, or else
where, relating to it, It has now 558 bound
volumes of Minnesota newspapers alone, a
collection Of the utmost value to futnre gen.
erations, as material tor the history of the
State, and of great use even at present. OF
most of these journals, it has the only copies
in existence, and persons frequently make
Journeys of considerable length for the pur-
pose OF consulting them. The necessity Of
afire proof building, tor the safe keeping Of
these, and other irreplaceable records of our
state, is noticed. If once destroyed, they
could never be secured again. The Society
wish to secure complete history of every
county, town and village in the, State, which
ought to lie done by some competent person
before the old settlers are all taken away, as
most of this material is preserved only in the
memory of our pioneers. Gov. Pillsbury, in
Ms message, warmly commends the Society
tor its usefulness, and the good management
it has been under. J. F. Williams, who for 10
years past, has been its Secretary and Librar-
ian, still holds that position, and is working
the Society. Contributions towards the
Library Of the Society should be sent to
him.

A Thrilling Scene.

The following incident occurred dur.
ing general review of the Austrian
cavalry a few months ago. Not far
from 10000 cavalry were in line. A
little child-a girl of not more than
four years, standing in the front row
of spectators, either from fright or
some other cause, rushed out into the
open field just as squadron Of hus-
sars came sweeping around from the
main body. They made the detOur for
the purpose of saluting the Empress,
whose carriage was drawn up in that
part of the parade ground. Down
came the flying squadron, charging at
a mad gallop-down directly upon the
child. The mother was paralyzed, as
were others, for there could be no res
cue from the line Of spectators.
The Empress uttered cry of hor
ror, for the child's destruction seemed
inevitable-and such terrible destruc-
ti0n-the trampling to death by q
thousand iron hoofs. Directly under
the feet of the hor ses was the little
one another instant must seal its
doom-when stalwart hussar, who
was in the front line, without slacken-
ing his speed or loosening his hold,
threw himself over by the side of his
horses neck, seized and lifted the
child and placed it in safety upon his
saddle-boW; and this he did without
changing his pace or breaking tho cor.
rect alignment Of the squadron.
Ten thousand voices hailed with
rapturous applause the gallant deed
and other thousands applauded when
they knew. Two women there were
who could only sob forth their graft
tude in broken accents-the mother
and the Empress. And a proud and
happy moment must it have been for
the hussar when his Emperor, taking
from his own breast the richly enam.
elled Cross of the Order of Maria
Theresa, hung it upon the breast of
his brave and gallant trooper.

Review Of the Markets,

Review Of the Markets.
Trade in the mercantile line has been
unusually good tor mid-winter, in Wholesale
quarters. The only important changes in
prices to note in groceries. Java coffees and
refined sugars are down handsomely. 1t
seems to be the opinion that cotton goods
will rule strong during the coming season,
and that further advance may be expected.
Flour is quite unsettled since the recent rise
in wheat. There is quite broad margin in
the quotations. Some brands of xxx Of
very good reputation are held at 5000 v bbl,
while choice family -four and .sstraight"
xxx is held firmly at $3.50 tor wholesale
and job lots, and s675@7.00 for small. In
terror qualities are not now in much demand,
and quotations are nominal. 'tPatent Pro-
cess" flour, which is in demand throughout
the country as the equal if not superior of the
very best winter wheat brands, sells to DEAL
ers and consumers at $8.60@1OO0 Y bbl. Rye
flour is in moderate demand at IS, ,5O@6. 90 "
bbl; buckwheat is not much inquired tor, and
with very small stocks on hand quotations
are mostly if not entirely nominal
The local offerings of wheat have been un-
usually liberal, stimulated Of course by the
very high rates which have prevailed. We
have to note very sharp decline within the
week, aggregating l0c Y bushel on all quail
ties. The decline is largely in excess of any
similar movement in the great markets, and
can only be accounted for by the supposition
that buyers found themselves paying more
for grain than it was worth, or than it was
likely to be worth in the spring. The sudden
hutting down ofa large number OF the flour
ing mills Of the State, not only in Minnneapo-
lis but in nearly all the principal centres of
flour manufacture, has undoubtedly had de-
pressing influence on the current buying
price OF wheat. The reason given for this
evidently concerted movement is the alleged
disproportion between the price of wheat and
its product, flour. Millers asserted that they
lost money on every bushel of wheat that
they bought and manufactured, although they
were careful not to give figures to support the
statement, or to give producers credit for the
profits made on the vast amounts of flour
formerly sold on advancing markets, which
was manufactured from low priced wheat.
But there will be no serious embarrassment
likely to follow the sudden disinclination of
local manufacturers to buy our leading cereal.
Millers will want wheat in the spring, if they
do not now, and will then be compelled to
pay all that it is worth.

ent Of the Chicago Tribune states that the

AT the time when Congress was investiga-

others of the Louisiana Returning Board
together with some Of the Hayes electors
In Louisiana, had offered to sell the vote of
that state to Tilden, a statement was nub-

the effect that he had approached the
Hon. John Morrissey with the view to
