state that it is the creeping Lespede1a q. repens)

deza very much resembles clover in its properties,

"Gone to the city," replied the maid They

"Why, what time is it?'
"Nine O'Clock! But why didn't they call
me?
"You were called at six o'clock and wouldn t

"There is young man here who halls from
