n, sting u ) Bee.

An eastern fable tells OF potentaeo
who demanded that there should b
brought to him the stings of = thou.
sand bees killed because one OF theft
colony had dared commit lese majesty
by singing the hand of royalty. When
they were brought In tiny golden
thlmble the King was 20 nnlazpd TO
find that II thousand OF the hypoder-
mic points mnde such a little mass
that lie issued a manifesto 10 the eff
feel thai 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 burt because they are exag
gerntcd In the mind: that when they
nre seen In their actunl proportions
they nre so slight as to uierit only
contempt How much comfort would
come 10 the minority OF persons n
they could but see the tiny size of the
bee stin.s that lead Them to acts Of
petulance. words of anger. expressions
of reproach. The bee sting annoy

to take the place of love and fealty.-
