by stinging the hand Of royalty. When
they were brought in tiny golden

mic points made such a little mass
that he issued a manifesto to the ef-
feet that thereafter no person within
the bounds Of the kingdom should
complain at the sting Of bee. The
lesson Of the fable is that petty an
noyances hurt because they are exag-

are seen in their actual proportions
they are 30 slight as to merit only
contempt. How much comfort would
come to the majority of persons II

Something eatable was produced and
an absorbing new game invented
which she could play quite by herself.
so they breathed freely and began.
The talk at length reached point
involving the latest scandal Of the
neighborhood and the retailing Of
some inside information which must
not become public property. A hurried
look at the child on the door found
her apparently so occupied with her
game that 1t seemed quite safe to go
on If one observed a decent discretion.
Voices were accordingly lowered and
direct allusion veiled. but when the
matter had been thrashed out to their
satisfaction the child raised her eyes
