LESSON FROM NATURE
There was a time when It waa
considered worth while to be decent
ly thoughtful of other people de
cently courteous to individuals we
know as well as to individuals in the
mass l ha t we don't Know.
Today, the fashion appears to bo
careless it everybody else's feelings
but our own and indignant of others
Who do not treat us as we refuse
to treat them. Exhibitions of sel
fishness are common and "set there"
regardless of the other fellow, by
force If necessary, is the rule, es
pecially traOBg the rottBf. One sex
Is as bad as the other, with
lions of course.
Iri certain parts there Is a wild
bee, with I wild Latin name which
we won't try to repeat, bill which is
familiar as the "bramble bee." Af
lei I be tantter has sheared off the
heads of brambles along comes the
velvety "bramble" bee. She picks a
likel) slalk, dies out the pith down
to the lirst Knot, which slops her
progress Then she fills this tube
clear to the lop with cells, one at
a time, placing a little honey in each
eel) and deposit ing an egg with the
honey.
The egg in the cell at the bottom

hatch first. But the only way out
to flie free air is through all the
other cells. If the baby bee busied
through she'd of course kill all the
umiaicneu Dees. So I lie amateur

Bant omnivorous hog of them all
clean out your sweet corn and ex
cavate your potato patch and mow
down your early peas and then sit
around and sneer at the castor
beans you planted to keep them out
of the garden.
When you plow you will doubtless
discover a wasp's nest, too late.
If you spray an apple tree, a pro
testing bee or two or twain or twen
ly will light on you and warm the
corner where they light.
Hazard, interest, danger, the un
timely arrival of the unexpected,
thrills; do you desire these things
in abundance.' 1 hen get you to the
farm any farm, anywhere.
THE STAYER
t ve studied mankind from sun to
sun, an' ravelled 'em all to bits, and
I find, the man wuth dependin' on,
is the feller that never quits. . .
Most any chap in the common herd
can bring a few things to pass, but
he's apt to prove an unlucky bird,
unless ho can show some class.
I've watched the boys as they sallied
forth, to garner a share of fame, an'
I've seen 'em collapse, an' come to
earth, when trifles would queer their
game. There's no reward fer the
shifty guy that straddles in forty
ways, with allers some bran new
scheme to try, that promises better
days. But the feller that marks his
life-course well, an' studies his les
sons by heart, will ring as clear as
a weddin' bell, and win, from the
very start. There ain't much room
fer the soft-uoaa toy, that juggles
with artless wits. . . . But we
bust right out into songs of joy fer
the feller that never quits.
Jan Smuts of South Africa, pre
mier, has been successful in bring
ing the Sinn Fein Irish leaders to a
conference with the British govern
ment under an armistice. He is
said to have found conditions in
Ireland so appaling that he has forc
ed a meeting for settlement, which
so far meets with approval from the
warring factions. Some of the pre
dictions are that Ireland will have
the same kind of rule as Canada.
