BEES MASTER OF THE ROAD.
farmers Mishap that Stopped Travel

A curious incident is reported from
ST. Prieure, near Chambery, where two
colonies of bees in a state of insurrec-
ton have routed everybody from the
neishborhood and are still masters OF
the road.

possession OF two beehives. which the
farmer loaded On cart drawn by two
oxen. Half way home one OF the hives
fell of the cart and was broken up.
The bees on being liberated attacked
the farmer with fury, and stung him SO
violently that the poor man tainted
and fell on the road, The cure came
10 his rescue, but I'm his hurry upset
the other hive. from which the bees
also escaped and attacked him in turn,
Workmen from the fields round

stung them so fercely that the two
beasts started on n mad race down the
road, and were finally surrounded not
only by bees OF the first two hives,
but apparently by all the bees in the
neighborhood, and had herself TO be
rescued by the villagers.

The Reason.

He lost his friends, because
He was always wounding their feel
ings, making sarcastic or funny re-
marks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner, cranky, gloomy, pessimistic.
He was suspicious of everybody.
He never threw the doors OF his
heart wide open to people, or took
them into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive as
sistance from them, but always too
busy or too stingy to assist them in
their time of need.
He regarded friendship as a luxury
to be enjoyed, instead of an oppor-
tunity for service.
He never learned that implicit, gen.
erous trust is the very foundation
stone of friendship.
He never thought it worth while to
spend time in keeping up his friend
ships.
He did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiment alone;
that there must be service to nourish
it.
He did not know the value OF
thoughtfulness in little things.
He borrowed money from them.
He was not loyal to them.
He never hesitated to sacrifice their
reputation for his advantage.
He was always saying mean things
about them in their absence.
He measured them by their ability
to advance him.-From the Brooklyn

There are really no drawbacks
to life in Greeley. the things that
require, improving are being bettered
as fast as possible. The health of
the city averages better than almost
any other city OF its size in the coun-
try, as indicated by health officers
reports.
The altitude of Greeley Is 1864
feet, being 600 feet lower than Den
yer, and Of course very much lower
than the other principal towns of
the State, and on that account is
generally held to be a more desir-
able place for residence than the
extreme high attitudes.
1t is but one days drive from
Greeley to Estes Park, one OF the
finest mountains resorts in the
world, having an elevation of 1900
to 5000 feet, and surrounded by
mountains and peaks famous for
their grandeur.

OUR HOME LIFE
IN GREELEY

'oUN DOANE
r.marked. Greeley reminds me OF
New England town" and il is re-
markable that in less than 40 years
this city could acquire the air OF
long settled community. Steadily
and healthfully Greeley has grown
20 its present size. New homes are
rapidly euCroaChng upon the prairie
boundaries of the city, reaching out
beyond Normal HilI' where are
commanded magnificent views of
the mountains and the irrigated and
fertile valleys OF the Platte and
Cache la Poudre. There are few
elegant mansions. but street after
street is lined with comfortable
homes.
The State Normal School with its
1900 students, an unsurpassed sys-
TEN OF public schools with a nigh
school enrolling more pupils than
any other town of its size in the
country and other educational facil-
tiles, give to the community an
atmosphere OF intelligence and coed
breeding. Many churches, some OF
them with beautiful buildings, and
all of them well attended. testify to
the religious character of the homes
Society high life has gained but a
scanty footing in the face OF these
forces and the integrity of the home
has not been invaded by its perni-
cious influence. The faculties of the
schools include some of the best
educators of the land, among them
men of national repute, and almost
without exception the teachers are
men and women o. religious con
victions and life.
The markets of Greeley furnish
the best that can be had and even
an epiCure might be happy here An
abundant supply of pure, soft water
from the mountains is unsurpassed
anywhere. The shops of the city
should satisfy any but the over
fast!dious. Table and wardrobe and
rooms may be healthfully and artisti-
cally furnished from the local stores
and at reasonable prices. These
are important items in the making o.
the home.
1t is not true that Greeley is a
Utopia. Much is still to be desired
to make it perfect. But ideals are
high and standards are true and a
conservative spnlt OF progress will
insure steady growth toward that
home life which shall be a foretaste
| of heaven.

The Paris HatpinS.

Time was when women fastened staid
bonnets on their simply coiffed hair with
hatplns-just pins with small black knobs
on the enc-no oruamentation about them.
Now things are different. some clever
person designed few pins with fancy
tops-smaH gilt balls. lovers knots. and
other simple devices. But the hats grew
and grew in size; the arrangement OF
the hair grew and grew IL splendoy. and
now a woman pins her platter hat 10 her
curls and mareelled pompadour by long
spikes with heads the same size as the
old-fashi0ned butter plates.
The newest pins. just arrived from
Paris, have round heads two inches in
diameter. The center Of the circle is an
imitation OF some semi precious stone
turquoise matTiX malachite, jade. am
ethyst-and around the enormous iewel is
a border Of silver-gilt Gligree.
The heads of some pins are made en-
trely Of the lillgree work. and others are
huge squares OF enamel eF Mosaic.
These new pins form a large percentage
OF the hat-trimming, and make even the
plainest black toque quite dressy.

Gentleness, strength, chivalry, are the
quickest avenues 10 a woman's heart
II you are a woman and your heart is
set on winning the love OF some man.
the one thing TO do is not to let him see
that you care too much.
Be merry and gentle and sweet. but no;
too easy Of conquest On the other hand
don't err on the side Of indifference.
But whether your desire be business OF
sentiment, you are the one most inter
egted, you can't sit by and make no ef-
fort
The world is a very busy place, you
know. and every one. man. woman. OF
child. is working principally in his OWL
interest
Your neighbor Is too much concerned IN
bis own affairs to have more than a
friendly interest in yours.
One great secret Of success along any
