CLOSE GUEss-An evening or two since
a lady residing in Washington whose baby
! was sick, sent little girl to drug store in
Sacramento for quantity of sweet fennel.
As she did not know how to express what
she wanted in English, she wrote the name
i'll German. Evidently the drug clerk
knew less about German than the woman
did about English, for he sent back by the
messenger a paper bag filled with corks.
