Srain had just arrived and taken its place on

rushing over the same track. There was a shout
and rushing on every side, and the engine

there was . little girl. . very small me-.
that did something very funny. She
was playing with the other children
waiting for the grown-up people To be

he hoped there would be some jelly-pie
left. and this little girl opened the door
and popped her head in. and told the
people: Please don't eat up all the
jelly-pie-' Laughter.1 There is no
such thing as iclly-Pie. They made =

Licorice plant grows wild in low land,
moist soil and along rivers and water
courses. The best is to be found in
the vicinity of the river Ebru and in
the neighborhood of Cordova. There
are to be found great many varieties
OF Spanish ~licorice root, which are
to be distinguished BY the color of the
root bark-red, brown or yellow. Some
are hbrous and quite spongy. while
others are a hard As wood. Licorice
isa perfect weed; when once il has got a
foothold ii is next to impossible to get
nd OF it. Every three or four sun
dry trenches are dug and every root ex-
posed. pulled out as far as possible. un-
