GIu ALL! Queen Peggy Bee!"
IL buzzed the worker bees a
second time.
Hum! Hum! It's silly to make
her a queen just when I've got her
nicely trained as nursemaid," OBJ
jected Fuzzyhum. I'VE can raise
another queen without much trou-
BILE, but it is hard to get a new
nursemaid."
And it's silly setting up new
queen and wasting time right in our
busy season." added Busybuzz, who
had just arrived with load of
honey. Pm against it."
I'VE will have an election" de-
clarey Honeydew. "All those in
favor Of making Peggy Bee our
queen will say Buzz"
"Buzz-Z-Z-Z-Z." went all Honey
dew's followers.
"All those not in favor of making
Peggy Bee our queen will make a
noise like Judge OWL" said Honey
dew. There was not sound, though
the followers of BusybuzZ wrinkled
up their faces like a boy trying to
whistle while sucking a lemon.
II hear no noise like Judge Owl,
so l declare Peggy. Bee elected as
our queen" said Honeydew.
But we can't make a noise like
Judge Owl. We can make only bee
noises" protested Busybuzz.
Then say Buzz" said Honey
dew.
"Buzz-z-z-z," sand all the fol-
lowers of Busybuzz.
Good! Now everybody has voted
for Peggy for queen and she is
doubly elected" declared Honey
dew
but we said buzz" objected
Busybuzz angrily.
"To be sure you said buzz And
as l had said All those in favor of
Peggy Bee as queen will say buzz,
you've helped us elect her"
Buzz! Buzz, We will not stand
for trick like that We will leave
the hive" clustered the followers
Of Busybuzz, very angry over the
shrewd way in which Honeydew
had fooled them into voting for
Peggy.
Leave it, then, and take your
old queen with you," laughed
Honeydew. And away went Busy
buzz and all her hundreds of fol-
lowers to get ready to move.

PRESIDENT AND SHANTUNG.

The most astonishing admission that has
come from the White House in connection with
the conference at Paris is that OF the president
taking full responsibility for the settlement
awarding Shantung to Japan.
In justification of his action, Mr.. Wilson
presents the familiar argument that Japan's
great service in the war entitled that country
to special compensation. This had been agreed
to in advance by England and France. 1t was
plainly evident from the first that Japan had
cas-: its lot with the Allies just did Italy, in
expectation of gain. 1t has not yet been made
clear why this gain should be at the expense
of China, also an honorable ally, even though
a weak one. We would not think of granting
compensation at the expense of Brazil or Costa
Rica, SO why should China be mucted?
Remember, too, that one of Mr. Wilson's
fourteen points was justice to weak nations.
In November, 1915, Baron Shibusawa made
a hurried visit to this country for the purpose
OF consulting certain great hnanciers in New
York. As he was leaving for home he gave out
an interview, in which he proposed that the
United States provide the capital and Japan
would furnish the experts for management and
the two countries should thus Cooperate in the
exploitation OF China. This may not have had
anything to do with the action at Versailles, but
it does show the trend of Japanese thought
From Paris comes word that the notes made
of conversations covering the point are to be
written into the form of an agreement
definitely binding Japan to get out of Shantung
at future date. 1t is hoped such an arrange
ment will satisfy China and end the incident
In its present status it is far from acceptable
to the American sense of justice to the weaker
nations.

thought Peggy. and she started Tor
the door. Before she reached there,
however, figure appeared at tho
opening, coming at her with a
vicious buzz. 1t was the old queen.
I'm not be put out!" buzzed the
queen. IN sting you to death. Then
they'll have to let me stay until they
can rear a baby queen bee
Peggy saw that she was in for a
duel. She had to sting the old queen
or be stung herself.
But Peggy didn't want to kill the
queen, not even to save herself. Yet
she couldn't run away, and the
queen bee was coming at her. Sud
denly Peggy thought OF plan. She
began to sing u song like the bee
song, and the queen stopped to
listen:
Once there was silly bee,
Never idle. never free;
Always working hard, ah me,
What a silly. silly bee.
Till at last this silly bee
Worked until ii couldn't see.
Then it starved, oh mercy me.
What silly, silly bee!"
The queen bee was so busy listen
ing to Peggys queer song that she
didn't notice the bee guards enter
ing the room. Then, when she leap
ed forward to sting Peggy, it was
too late The guards stopped her
and hustled her away.
Again Peggy was left alone, but
her chance to escape was cut Off
The guards, before departing, sealed
the door tight with wax.
What shall | do? What shall !
do?" buzzed Peggy in despair.
Cheer up" buzzed muffied
voice. I'm coming to the rescue"
1t was Billy Bee. And Peggy, list
ening intently, could hear him cut
ting a hole through the wall Of the
room.
Tomorrow will be told how Billy Bee
gets badly stung and how the singing
has an unexpected result)

be elected queen that way" pro-
tested Peggy, who was too honest
to profit by such queer bee
politics.
You have nothing to say about
it. You're only the queen" buzzed
Honeydew. GO to your room until
we have cleared the hive of the old
queen and her crowd
Not giving Peggy a chance to say
another word they hustled her into
a large room near by. The whole
hive was by this time in an uproar.
The followers of the old queen were
hurrying to get away and the others
were hustling them along. In the
confusion Peggy was left alone in
the room.
Here's chance to escape"

strength of an American division is
rather more than $4,000 men. or

rocky ground under the spreading shade of something like stretch of woodland, Charlie, several years ago, had built a rough log shanty for his camp-one of two or three camps he had thus scattered for himself up and down the tout islands" where nearly all the land is no mans, and so every mans land. The particular camp at which we now arrived he had not vis- ited for long time.

Doctor Holmes social nature, as ex- pressed in conversation and in his books, drew him into communication with very large number of persons.

He had his own purposes to fulfill, hise own self-appointed tasks, and he preferred to take men only on his own terms.

'Fire away" answered the youth, blowing cloud of cigarette smoke in delicate spiral up into the morning sky; 'but I've really told you all I have to tell.'
 'No; you haven't told us how you came to know of our trip, what we were supposed to be after, and when we were starting."
 That's true" flushed the lad, mo- mentarily losing his composure. Then, partly regaining it: ''Is it necessary to answer that question:"
