The Lesson That Ended His Kicks
About Morning Baths
When Emperor william II. was q
small boy he had strong objection to
being washed 10 the morning, and his
governess, having had some unpleaS-
ant experiences with him and being in
some doubt as to what she had better
do. appealed 20 his father. the then
Crown Prince Frederick Frederick an
gwered, The next time he gives any
trOable on this score leave him alone
to his own pleasure and report to me-"
Naturally It was not long before the
young prince refused 10 80 through
the publication process, and the gov

Now, the boy had a little carriage
and V8s very fond OF driving out IN

His Dinner Guests

In a volume published In London,
'EPiecadfily to Pail Mall" there is this
queer anecdote Of the vagaries Of So
cial life In the capital: Some years ago
an eminent parsonage accepted or sug
gested a dinner with a certain million
atTe, at that time comparatively un-
known. The first guest to arrive, hav-
ing explained to the butler that, being
unacQuainted with his host, he would
wait TIL some one else came who could
introduce him, fingered In the ball.
The second was IN the same predica-
ment, as were the third, fourth, fifth
and other guests up TO the ninth, who
Glanced to be ''the eminent parsonage"
himself. Upon the dilemma being eI-
plained 10 him he cheerfuIly said: '+Oh,
come along with me! win introduce
you al. know him"

Had Them Tested.

The loss and recovery Of a $500
pearl necklace recall the story Of a
similar experience which New York
woman had after the last Old Guard
ball. She also missed her necklace
when she arrived at her home. and
the next day it was brought to her by
a woman who had shared her car
riage on her way home. Handing the
necklace to her friend, the finder said:

THE QUEEN BEE.
Her Household Service the Most Per-
feet In the World.

feet In the World.
"We must go to the bee for the real
solution Of the servant question" said
a housewife. "The queen bees serv-
ice is the most perfect in the world.
Why, she even has servants who di-
gest her food for her.
THE queen bee is so entirely occu-
pied in egg laying-she lays $500
eggs, twice her own weight, daily
that all other things must be done for
her.
"And so a. corps OF servants makes
her toilet. This corps all day long
cleans and brushes and polishes her
person. 1t is as though her life were
passed divinely in a beautiful parlor.
Another corps of servants has
charge of the air she breathes. The
air must be the purest, that her eggs
may be the finest So, standing in a
circle about her, tanning with their
wings, these bees make a living ven
tilating system.
Her most important servants are
perhaps her feeders. Their training
may be said to begin before birth,
since they must be born, from special
ly nodded eggs, with glands in their
heads for the reception of bee milk,
the chosen predigested food Of the
queen. The feeders stand always at
attention, presenting, like a brimming
cup, their head glands. swollen with
predigested food, to the queen bee,

MARROW PARDONED.

Special to The NesoS.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 12.-Drue N.
Marrow, white man sent up from
Monroe county in March, 1909, on
sentence of two years for shooting
with intent to kill, has been pardoned
by the governor. No conditions are
attached to the pardon. It was urged
in behalf of the pardon that Marrow
had been exceedingly useful in nurs-
ing other prisoners in the Aberdeen
jail before he was sent up during an
epidemic of smallpox at time when
it would have been impossible to
secure anyone from the outside to do
the work. Another point urged in his
favor was that he has a sick mother
who is dependent upon him for sup
port.
