YOUR FRIEND WHO SUCCEEDS.

You can remember that he never
amounted to much in his youth.
You always have grave doubts
whether he did it all himself, and II
his success is as great as reported.
You sometimes find it hard to be as
pleased with his good fortune as an old
friend should be.
When he appears to be glad to see
you, you cannot help being little sur
prised.
When he,does not appear to be over.
joyed at meeting you, it is recalled
that he always was that way-and
nothing to his credit.
1t is difficult to avoid speaking of his
poor old father and mother" wher
his family is mentioned.
Altogether, it is hard thing to re
gard his rise as an altogether credit.

its attendant circumstances without
the thought that there are some
things about them which you would

LITTLE HINTS OF FASHION.

White designs on colored grounds
are the latest effects in fine handker-
chiefs.
The all-black taffeta is an old
friend, but appears in new guise with
guipure lace medallion instead of the
cloth, satin or velvet bands.
One of the most comfortable break
fast Jackets is of quilted silk, made
with loose front and fitted back.
The rolling collar, sleeves and Dor
der are embroidered with colored
silk.
A novelty is an evening bSSuse of
tucked chiffon made over silk, which
comes ready TO wear in many light
shades. II is low-necked and sleeve
less, and has a garniture of flowers
TO match.
A new idea for weddings is to have
the bridesmaids carry silk muffs,
trimmed with flowers, instead of bou-
quets. These muffs, which are of
extra large size, and match the hat in
color, have double ruffles of silk at
the edge.
The fashion of decorating neck
wear with flowers has been revived,
and for this purpose great variety
of small blossoms, including hello
tropes, violets and small roses, can
be obtained. These are fashioned in
tiny clusters at the side or back of
the stock collar or ribbon.
There has hardly been a season on
record when there has been so gen
erous a use Of sachet powders. A
liberal supply is used in nearly every
article of the wardrobe. It is used
in the Innings of all frocks for
dressy occasions, and the latest
French wrinkle" is to stuff the hol-
low just at the front of the shout
ders with bag in which there lies
deal of violet sachet.

house. The discovery made no par
ticular impression on him until the
other day, when one of them stung
him.
Hot water was thereupon procured
and the spot whence the bees issued
was deluged with it, but hot water
was failure so far as concerns the
determination of the bees. So were
other devices for circumventing in
sect marauders in the homes of men.
While Mr.. Clements was still hot
upon the trail OF the bees another
member of the family came into con-
tact with one Of the small disturb
ers, and after a brief struggle, al
though the bee was destroyed, a
couple of pieces Of furniture were
sacrificed and the happiness of the
family was disturbed.
That night carpenters were sent
for, and upon the day following there
was a sound of loud hammering and
ripping and tearing Of wood. Mr..
Clements, from another part OF the
house, directed the attack.
The workmen tore away q couple
Of partitions and then discovered
that whole swarm of bees had
taken up its abode there. Many had
persisted, but still there was a large
active contingent, and they resisted
the intrusion. But sweet were the
fruits of victory.
Honey! bushels OF It'll" shouted
one of the carpenters, tearing into
the room where Mr.. Clements was
sitting.
Further investigation, after the
bees had been driven away, showed
the presence of 80 pounds of deli.
cious honey. 1t cost Mr.. Clements
$1s5 to put his house in repair.

BEES IN HIS PARLOR.
But Owner of the House Didn't Know
II Until the Busy Insects Began
to sting Him.

For some time past bees have been
annoying the family of James r.
Clements, of Rochester, N. Y. Every
Gay or so a bee would crawl out of
the opening made for one of the slid
ing doors between the sitting-room
and the parlor. Lazily posing itself,
the bee would fly about the room un-
til its career was cut short by a
slap from the palm of Mr.. Clements
or somebody else in the house. But
another bee would come forth to
take the place of the slaughtered
one.
1t finally dawned upon Mr.. Glenn

them be thoroughly cultivated. For
protection he uses rye straw. He
thinks this better than lath, as #

1t can be wound around the trees as
high up as the larger limbs.

ung, referring to the new dual alliance
| says;
"The Japanese alliance bears n
| great resemblance to the triple alli-
ance. II the United States has Joined
| Japan and Great Britain IN resisting
| the signing Of the Manchurlan treaty
| II must be inferred that the United
| States regards the new treaty sympa-
| thetically Since the immediate aims
| Of Japan and Great Britain are essen
| TALLY defensive, the treaty acquires UNI
| mistakable significance IN regard TO the
preservation OF peace in the orient"
The Vossische Zetung also infers
that the treaty win tend towards the
maintenance Of oriental tranquility,
and says that Il feels to that extent
| II can be viewed with satisfaction by
Germany. But the paper adds that
Germany's interest IN the far eastern
politics Is not sufficient to justify her
offending Russia by participation In
such an agreement.
The Neuste Nachrlchten sees In the
alliance a far greater practical adyan-
tage for Great Britain than for Japan,
Since a Japnese- Russian war Is the
most probable of all possible conflicts
In eastern Asia" The paper adds
1T is most unlikely that France will
actively assist Russia In such con-
nict Therefore Japan, with the agree
ment In her pocket, win have to reckon
with one on the costs of settlement
with Russia"
THE FRENCH VIEW.
Paris, Feb 12.-The view taken in
Il "a 4 al la IN Ia,
gl0-Japanese alliance, being purely
defensive, Is nowise "a disquleting ele-
ment in the eastern situation The
agreement It is claimed excludes Man
churia and Russia, therefore, Is not
menace thereby. The alliance is taxi
en- TO indicate that Great Britain has
abandoned her opportunist and vac
cilating attitude of recent years In the
far east for a fixed policy and that
the result will certainly make for the
peace CT the world. The question Of
Corea, provided for in the first artl-
Gle of the treaty, cannot lead 20 q
disturbance Of the peace, because Rus
sia has no aggressive aims In that
country.
Japan also Is not in an aggressive
mood One of the first results Of the
alliance will probably be new Japan
csc loan, as Japan has need Of money.
The Temps says "The new alliance
seems to Indicate that the British gov
eminent intends inaugurating a new
policy IN the far east. Il Is an in
notation without precedent for a cen
fury. England thereby changes her
policy of free hands for q policy of
tied hands There is perhaps direct
relation between this and the sort Of
diplomatic revolution and change Of
situation regarding Wei-Iai-Wei,"
The Journal des Debats remarks
1--WE think England gets the best of
the bargain, She merely assumes
theoretical obligations towards Japan,
whereas the latter's obligations towards
England take much more practlcai
character 1t does not seem as If
Japan has much reason to congratu
late ierself on the treaty while the
other powers cannot remain Indifferent
to an alliance which win leave England
much less accommodating in the far
east.

portant result will be to give England
greater freedom In the remainder Of the
world"
