Florenzio and the Bee.
A Fairy Story.

stings sustained the day before, Floren- zio was called to his aunt's room. ''Go and gather enough honey for this days supper" she ordered Yesterday you brought in only enough for AdalIna and Edwardo. Today you must fetch enough for the entire household, barring the serv- ants, of course.'
 But, Aunt, I got so badly stung yes terday that my arms and hands are swol- len and sore. Just look at my hands," And the orphan boy held up for his aunt's inspection swollen and sore hand the result of his gathering honey from rebel lious bees on the previous day.
 Well, you must learn how <o gather honey without fighting with the bees,'' declared the unsympathetic aunt. There are people who can gather ~honey without the least trouble to either themselves or the bees. Go you and fetch in full earthen jar of honey; and be quick about it. too.'

bread spread thick with honey But as they put the delicate food to their mouths the honey became alive with bees, and the bees began to sting them viciously. With loud cry of pain the uncle and aunt threw the honey-spread bread from them and at the same moment the children fell to- the stone floor, crying out with pain and trying to drive the bees from their heads and hands. But fight as they might, the bees swarmed about them, stinging and stinging. Florenzio was amazed, but did not move from his chair in the corner. He watched the bees fighting his uncle, aunt and cousins, but had no thought of going to drive away the vicious insects.
 Well, l guess they have enough of honey now" said the fairys voice in Florenzio's ear. Let them retire to their rooms now and have a week of suf- fering In the meanwhile you follow me. I shall lead you to a place of safety and happiness.
 <. Florenzio had no difficulty In leaving the hall, for neither his uncle nor aunt were watching him, They were so intent on their injuries. Both were suffering
 
 hands. Their son and daughter were as badly stung. The four presented a sorry sight us they dragged themselves to their rooms, crying out to their servants to come and cover them with healing oils.
 Florenzio followed the big bee all that day, and when night came he found him self in pretty fishing village, where the good fisher folk welcomed him among them. And there in that quiet, happy spot Florenzio remained till he was man; then he became one of the greatest sea captains of his time, sailing into strange seas and discovering strange lands. And never did he forget the good fairy, who, in the disguise of q bee led him from "the house of bondage" into liberty and happiness
 But all that happened in the days of fairies.

~ LORENZO was little boy. He lived a long, long time ago in the country now known as Italy. His parents were dead and he lived
 with his uncle and aunt, very wicked people, who had a son and daugh- ter of their own, but who treated Floren- zio without sympathy or kindness, oblig- ing him to wait upon their own children from morning till night. Florenzio's cousins were named Adalina and EdTardo |and they were as domineering and un- kind as were their parents.
 One of the many duties set for Flor enzio to perform for his cousins was the gathering of honey. And as he lived be- fore the days of the modern beehive he was obliged to run the risk of being seriously stung by the little honey-mak- DTS whenever he made a raid on their store of sweets in some hollow stump or lree-trunk.
 One day. while suffering from bee

A ATURDAY morning came clear and tN bright It was the last week in September, and the Jones children ~ had planned all week on going nut
 ting on this day if the weather man were kind enough to send them fine sunshine and cool breezes. And the weather man had responded to their wish by keeping the sky clear and the sun bright, and the wind mild and brac- ing.
 "Is there any time in all the year so glorious as the early autumn asked An nette, the oldest of the three Jones chil- dren. She was putting on her hat prepar- atory for the start to the country and was looking from her window upon the grassy lawn.
 "Oh, every season seems the best, laughed May, the youngest of the three Jones children. She was 10 years old; Annette was IA and Paul was 12 And they were inseparable comrades, these two sisters and one brother. To be sure, Paul was considered "the head" or ''the leader" being the boy. But he never abused his privilege. He was just as

 Of course the Italian was somewhat startled to hear voice from treetop. but on seeing the children, and learning that 1t was Beppo who had sent them there for safety, he told them to come down, and promised them that they should have "a fine exhibition of Beppo's tricks as payment for their din- ner." So the children came to earth and enjoyed us fine an exhibition of bear tricks as one could wish for, and after the Italian and Beppo had departed they sat down to talk over their strange ex- perience before starting homeward. And they all agreed it had been most enjoy. able, though rather startling at first.

RothschfId's Rules.

The greater financiers or business
men frequently give to the public
wise maxims for success. But 1t is
not always definitely known whether
these maxims were formulated when
the particular Captain of Industry
was a barefooted boy selling news
papers or since arrival at the pinnacle
Of fame.
1t Is, therefore. the more interesting
to read the rules formulated before
final success by Rothschild-the Roths-
child. the man who founded the house
and was Europe's greatest financier.
He placarded the walls of his banks
and counting rooms with maxims.
Here are few OF them:
Carefully examine every detail of
your business.
Be prompt in everything.
Take time to consider. and then de-
eide quickly.
Dare to go forward.
Be brave In the struggle OF life.
Make no useless acqualntances.
Pay your debts promptly.
Learn how to risk your money at
the right moment.
Employ your time well.
Be polite to everybody.
Never be discouraged
Then work hard and you will be
certain to succeed.
