to catch one.


But, after all, says writer for Little
Men and Women. there is no thistle so inter-
esting as the common purple thistle of Scot
land. While it is not handsome, it is the ma
tional flower of Scotland, the land of Walter
Scott. and we must honor it for that reason.
The motto which goes with the thistle is
"Temo me impune laceSsit." 1t is Latin and
means, Touch me who dares." There is an
ancient order of Scotch knights, the Order
of the Thistle, and this is their motto.
Over the gate of the now ruined palace Of
Linlithgow, where Mary, Queen of Scots,
was born, the thistle with this motto is en-
graved. You will seeiU in many other places
in Scotland.
The earliest mention Of the thistle, as the
badge of Scotland, is found in an old poem
called THE Thrissel and the Rois,n which
would be written now 1.-THE Thistle and the
Rose"

A Message.

She wasn't on the playground, she wasn't on the
lawn.
The little one was missing and bedtime coming on.
We hunted in the garden, we peeped about TO see
If sleeping under rose tree or lilac she might be.
But nothing came in answer to all our anxious
call
Until at length we FASTENED within the darkening
hall
And then upon the stiffness there broke a silvery
tone
The darling mite was standing before the tele-
phone,
And softly, as we listened came stealing down the
stairs:
"H'lo. Central. Give me heaven. want to say
my prayers"

An Entertaining Description of Various
Members of the Thistle Family - The
barometer Thistle, the Wind Witch This
tie and the National Thistle of Scotland.
There are many kinds of thistles. There is
the thistle which the people of France and
Germany use for barometer The people
hang it out beside the door, When the thistle
closes it is sure to rain. When it opens the
storm Is about to cease and the sun to shine.
Then there is thistle called the Wind Witch
which grows on the plains of Tartary. 1t is
very large, and the flower dries into ball
as light as a feather which, falling off. goes
flying over the plains before the wind. 1t
flies so fast that nobody has ever been known
to catch one

4 Good Sto-y About an Ex-Governor Who
Was Too Courteous

Good sto-y About an Ex-Governor Who
Was Too Courteous.
Ex-Governor and Representative McCre-
airy, of Kentucky, is noted for his politeness.
On one occasion be was tie guest of friend
in the country. When he sat down TO supper
the lady of the house asked him whether he
wished coffee or tea. The governor replied:
Coffee, If you please, madam
His fondness for hot coffee is known 60 his
friends, who can well imagine his feelings
when TIE hostess informed him that the cook
he'd neglected to warm the coffee for supper
and that 1t was cold. Even this information
of the cooks neglect did not affect the gov
ernors politeness, and with smile he re-
piled:
How fortunate, madam. Do you know,
madam, that / am so eccentric as TO prefer
cold coffee, and do not care for it in any
other way. Your cooks neglect is good news
to me.n
The relief of the housekeeper can be under
stood as she handed Governor McCreary the
coffee, which he slipped with well feigned pleas
ure
The weather the next day was cold and
bracing. 1t was just such day as TO make
the heart Of a coffee drinker long for his IA
vorite drink. Governor McCreary had for
gotten the incident of the night before when
he sat down to breakfast. But if it had es-
capped his memory it had not that of his
hostess
Il have the coffee cold for you this morn
ing, governor" she said, sweetly. you see
remember that you said you never liked it
in any other way.n
Il
was hardly as angelic as it was the night be-
fore, but he drank the cold coffee without
murmur. 1t was with difficulty, however,
that the other guests restrained their laugh
ter over the unfortunate predicament in
which the governor had placed himself by
his politeness.-New York Tribune.
