BEES IN BATTLE.
The Contest as Viewed by Spectator at
 a Safe Distance.

The Contest as Viewed by Spectator at
 Safe Distance.
 The movements of the c0mbatants arc 50 rapid in battle that it is difficult to follow them through all of their evolu- tions, but the plan of battle seems to bo very simple, says The Ghautauqnan. Two bees from the hive arc sent to kill one intruder, and the latter always tries to force an entrance, even at the risk of it's lifo. Once inside, it makes room for others of its companions to enter and then, gathering up it's abdomen in as small 9 space as possible, it assumes the defensive. Two of the hive bees bounce upon it and eollaring it tlercely they seek to find vulnerable point between the rings of it's body to sting it to death. The attacking bee just IS determinelly struggles to cover every unprotected spot. If sufficient time can be gained and the attacking swarm is large enough to force an entrance the badly mauled bees that have not been stung to death will suddenly assume the offensive and pursue the tactics of their enemies Tho eontortions and eyolutions of the yari- ous fighters are interesting 10 the ob- server.
 should the battle go against the at- tacking body the balance of the swarm flies away 10 seek safety, and the dead careasses of their companions are thrown eontemptuously out of the hive.
 But in the event of an opposite fer imitation of the struggle the poor in- habitants are slaughtered When their fa6e has been practically decided, many of them turn traitors to their cause, and in order to save their own lives they join the forces of the attacking party and display great vigor in killing their former companions. But there $ honest patriotism even among bees. In every hive there are some who fight to the last and prolmg the struggle for hours

A ROYAL CORNER.

H0w She Sacred. if Lonely, Precinct Was
 Invaded by an American.
 An American attending q wedding re-. ception in great house in London con- graduated bride and bridegroom and passed the usual compliments with the host and hostess.
 There was q great throng of guests and he could not finger at the entrance of the drawing room when there were many behind him anxious to offer their greetings.
 Perceiving qniet corner to the right of the bride where q gentleman and & lady were standing apart from the other guests he went directly to if, unwit tingly coming to s stop between two royal personages.
 The American was not aware of the fact that he was face to face with one of the queens daughters and had turned his back upon another member of the royal family. lie stood quietly looking about, hoping to see some acquaintance in the company with whom he might have q chat, and soon became uneoms fortably conscious that be was attracting attention and that the hostess and brida were casting uneasy glances iii the di Keetion of the corner where he hGd taken shelter While the drawing room was crowded, tho company of guests with one consent avoided the secluded corner where he and his two royal companions were stationed
 An acquaintance in the background perceived his mistake, and coming with In hailing distance 'uotioned to him. He left his two companions in exclusive occupation of the corner turning his back upon both as he edged his way through the throng, while everybody stared at him. When he reached the spot where his acquaintance was wait tug for him, the stage whisper wai breathed into his ear:
 You have been poaching on royal preserves. You are a privileged eharao. ter because you are all American, but no EnglishmRn ventures to turn his back upon prince or a princess People were staging you out of countenance because they took 1t for granted that you must be royal parsonage, yet they were un, able to identify you. ;
 The answer might have been mads that every American is A sovereign by the divine right of equality of free cit. izenship. but this would have been a meaningless pleasantly in ali English drawing room, where social etiquette has 8 sanotiiy superior to loyalty to democratic principle.
 The American thanked his friend fol rescuing him from an embarrassing po' sition, and then stood by and watched the corner where royalty was isolated from too close contact with the world of wealth and fashion.
 No guest approached the royal pair. Their presence was an act of oondescen. sion 10 the host and hostess, and they remained on exhibition as the patron. of this social function without having their corner invaded. Everybody Wal careful not to approach them too close. ly, and there was d general sense of re, lief when they departed and the neces. sity for backing away from them on side tracks was removed.

 try Editor.

try Editor.
 The old time devil was keen to learn He had gall. He wasn't afraid to ask tho 1nilliners for advertising or print ing. He dreamed of owning a paper of his own. He experimented in 9 thou. sand ways. lie lived in the office al- most, being there carly and late. He made q battery and copper plated types before the first type founder thought of doing it. He did stereotyping in a rude way, making a matrix from plotting paper. Desiring to do his work better, he tried to buy proper materials for stereotyping, but he was blutfed so easily by the prices or talk given him by the dealers that for many years he supposed he was She victim of some infamously jealous trusts
 A tramp printer from Chicago made ahn believe that gasoline could be made. The Chicago man pointed to big can of the fluid and insisted that he had made it. Gasoline was high priced then. The devil sold che gasoline the printer said he had made to a rival office, and tho two divided the money. Make some more, said the devil. There is demand fer it. ' The Chi eago printer left that night, and tEe editor made the devil pay for the gaso- line.
 The editor can recall his last visit from the tramp printer he learned the traden with, the one who made gaso- line. He came into the shop and was denied work by the foreman. He saw at a glance that the old days and loose ways were gone. Neatly dressed, well kept young men and women were at work in an office as clean as a parlor
 Whose runnin this sheet now?" he inquired.
 Jack Hill. was the reply.

 And then they saw him drift into the sanctum and heard him say Hello, Jack You're doin well. 1 want some thin to eat and drink

The next morning he called on his editor friend again. and when he found him discussing prohibition with two or three ministers and one or two of the elders of fine town he lurched right into the editorial den and joined ill the talk to help the editor along. He was very drunk. He cried and said thatuaturally he was a prohibitionist, but he really longed to die and go to heaven, only he had become such d----d slleptic he didn believe there was such a place. '' Then he went to sleep. The preachers looked at him in pity. The editor spoke kindly of him as comrade who had seen better days. AS the editor talked Gasoline" awoke and said
 Jack, if you don't gimme a quarter to buy 8 drink with I'll sit here and holler
 And holler7 he did.
 He ''hollercd" until the ministers left

Bad Story Yelling.

If Oscar Wilde's assumption were to be taken seriously, that all fiction is ly. ing, it might account for much that Rftficts readers, since the lack of morale affects the intellect, and what is done without conscience is apt to be done badly. Of course all fiction is not lying, as all killing is not murder, but it is a sad fact that many writers of novel; and short stories seem to have left their consoiences and much of their brains behind when they go forth to Worl1-as II these belongings might safely remain ln seclusion, with the dress coat and the white tie, to be brought out only for especial occasions.
