WHAT HAPPENED TO BROWN.

Incidentally a Few Singing Remarks
ON the Late Busy Bee.
Steve Brown of this place, while
hoeing in his garden yesterday, acci-
dentally upset a beehive, and will be
confined to the house for some days"
This news dispatch does not tell the
whole story, but ar~tistically leaves
something to the Imagination Of the
reader. Why must Steve Brown be
confined to the house for some days
because he accidentally upset a bee
hive? Here is where the imagination
Of the reader is supposed to work. The
labor will really not be difficult to per-
sons who have taken a course in ma
ture study and who have some slight
understanding of the bee. A man need
not be a goggled entomologist to know
what happened to Brown. Anybody
who has ever experienced the animated
sensation which a bee can inspire viii
comprehend the reason for Steve
Browns retirement. Upsetting a bee
hive is one of the most careless things
a man can do. No bee Is able to re-
tain his composure under such circum-
stances. Bees seem to view with dis
favor a man who thus fnyades their
privacy or interrupts the happy con-
cord Of their domestic life. Any man
who looks for trouble is apt to find
it, but this is especially true If he
looks for it in q beehive. Bees take
pleasure in furnishing trouble to any
body who wants 1t. The bee has q
sharp tongue, which he wears in his
pistol pocket.
Another unfortunate phase of a con-
troversy between q man and bees Is
that most men find it difficult to pre-
serve their dignity in a mix-up Of this
kind. Bees seem not to be bound by
any of the rules governing civilized
warfare. The weight of opinion among
men acquainted with the idiosyncra-
cies Of bees is that they are disinclined
to give quarter to the upsetter Of q
hive. No doubt Steve Brown feels
this.
The man who compounded the al
ItcIduf0 puIdSo OuSy Dcc hucW
whereof he spoke. OF course, IL the
bee should busy himself strictly about
his own business, no just complaint
could be made against him; but this II
perhaps too much to ask either Of bee
nature or human nature.
There is a good deal Of conceit In the
bee. The bee has other almost human
traits Of character. There is a very
little reason for the bee to be conceit-
ed. Time was when we depended on
him, or her, for our honey That time
was Now the bee is no more essen
tial to the production Of honey than
the COW is to butter or the sugar ma
pie to maple sugar. The bee is q
has-been. Nowadays we get our "wild-
flower and a~pple-blossom honey" out
of parafin and -glucose-Washington

of chrysanthemums rising from the CEN

rank among the high priced souvenirs.
A place card Stimulating a wishbone
is an apt suggestion. And so, too, the
dinner favor in football form.

Babette's arms and back ached almost
beyond endurance, yet the brush con-
tinued to play over Pauline Malling's
hair as it hung In luxuriant profusion
down her back. Pauline was deep in
thought, for the Duke Of Bennoir had
just sent her the exquisite bunch Of
roses she held in her hand, with the lit
tie note lying open on the table, and she
was making up her mind as to whether
she should accept or reject the offer she
knew he would make when he called by
and by.
did l look really well last night,
Babette?' she asked.
"Mademoiselle is irresistible when she
chooses" murmured the French woman.
Miss Mailing again relapsed iato deep
thought
IF I could only be sure Of the past
remaining the. past, If l were only GER
tain that ugly facts would not turn up
Unexpectedly TO face me, l would marry
this poor creature with a title-I would,
if only to save me from myself. Surely,
after six years of safety and prosperity, /
am never going to be such an utter idiot
as to risk loss Of everything, because this
poor painter is good looking and charm
ingly candid. I hate myself for my
weakness. Only ten days ago l began
this Irritation for my own amusement
and to annoy that big-eyed. pale-faced
child, to give her q few unhappy hours
as a set-off against the perpetual anxiety
her mere existence causes me, and, before
l am certain that either of these purposes
is accomplished, l wake up to the humil-
iating knowledge that / am caught in my
own trap, that for the first time in my
life l nave fallen in love-"
She burst into scornful laughter, SO
startling Babette that the iv~ory-backed
brush few out of her hand, and she
stood with round eyes and open mouth
regarding her mistress face In the glass.
What is the matter with you? Why
are you staring at me like thatF'
By an effort Babette recovered her
usual subdued, respectful expression.
II feared mademoiselle was not we'll"
she murmured, ALPHABETICALLY.
Nonsense! Go on with your brush
ing, and do not take notice of what does
not concern you"
"She is a very cat.' Babette said, con-
| fdentially, to the brush, as she picked 1t
up. 81 should like to know what wicked
ness she is plannig now"
perhaps it is not to be wondered at
after ALL" Pauline Unused. He is SO
different from the men one usually meets
so honestly simple, 80 bright and true,
so sensitively honorable. 1 believe he
would marry that chit in spite Of me IL
the release did not come from her. 1t
shall! If l cannot have him, she never
shall! On that one point my mind L.

FIGHT OVER AN ESTATE.
Mrs. Wood Seeks to Secure Her Per-
ton of Property.

From Saturdays Daily.
Suit has been brought by Mrs. Jose
phine S. Wood through Attorneys
Young & Jones to set aside a will made
by the late Jay NJ. Jewett, making his
nephew, William j. Jewett the sole
legatee to the fortune of the deceased
This will has been filed by the younger
Jewett The will was made after papers
had been served on Jay NJ. Jewett to
put him under guardianship because of
his age. Two days after this will was
made, a guardian was appointed.
Three or four months before the guar
dian was appointed, guardianship was
petitioned for and refused. On the day
on which the guardianship was refused,
Jay NJ. Jewett had will in which he
left his property to Mrs. Josephine S.
Wood and William j. Jewett, his
nephew.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff that
the second will is not good for three
reasons: First, because papers had
been filed asking for guardianship at
the time of making of that will; second,
because Jay NJ. Jewett was at that time
incompetent to make WILL third, be-
cause of undue influence exercised over
him by William Jewett and his wife.

ASKS FOR DAMAGES.
George Atchison Brings Suit to Clear
His Title.

An action has been started in the
district court by George Atchison
against C. p. Buckley. 1t appears from
the complaint that the defendant on
Jan. 18th, 1901, secured Judgment
against the plaintiff for $4,000 On
March 22nd, 1901, the plaintiff went in
to bankruptcy, and his debts were wiped
out. Mr.. Buckley, however, refuses to
satisfy and discharge the Judgment
which he secured and it is a cloud on
the title to the property since accumu-
lated by the plaintiff. The latter asks
the court to have the judgment declared
null and void and also asks for $500
damages because of the trouble that he
has been put to. w. A. Funk is Mr.
Atchison's attorney.
