And then in her little heart q wicked

never stir from that settle until her
father believed she was sick, and was
sorry for being so cruel.
Just then Johnny Brockway, her
cousin, drove into the yard in light

head or open her eyes.
"HclloI Are you sick again, Louise"
he called. cheerfully.
Louise did not answer. He sprang out
of the wagon and came to the side of
the old settle.
"Sick?" he asked again.
Louise shut her eyes tighter.

Johnny. Did you have another spell?
I'll call Aunt Kate
Johnny Brockway, don't you call

He came back to the settle again.

THE COLUMBINE.
Her Claims to Be Chosen As the Ma
tional Emblem.


tional Emblem.
On Jan. 1, 1898, the people who are
interested in the selection of a national
flower will have an opportunity tc vote
for their favorites.
New Years day, the Floral Emblem
society of Boston will keep open mousse
for everyone who desires to ballot for
a flower, one of four which have been
much talked about.
1--WE will take the two of the four
having the greatest numbers of regis
tration as the future candidate and
during the year exploit them as candi-
dates; when the public is ready, we
will have them voted upon, and submit
the victorious candidate to congress,
to be made legally an emblem" Thus
writes the secretary of the society.
1t is going to be an interesting ques-
ton. Which viii prove to be the flower
candidate?
While the Floral Emblem society is
in earnest upon this subject, it is in no
haste to arrive at an ultimate decision.
1t makes haste slowly, and is directing
its best efforts to get the society in
readiness for helping to choose flower
by education in special subjects, such
as botany, forestry, symbolism in ar
chitecture, music, emblems and SYM
bols, the flag and state seals, patriot
ism. the rationalizing of tie celebration
of July 4 being a special care.
At their monthly meetings the So
ciety listens to papers and lectures
upon such subjects as Flowers of the
Sky" "Emblems and Symbols of the
Ancient Religions, " THE Battle of the
Forests''-this by the chief of the di-
vision of forestry. United States de-
partment of Flags and
Earth 1t is broad culture, you no.
tice, that the society seeks, before even
attempting to guide the choice of a
single flower.
The columbine is going to roll up an
immense number of votes at the COM
ing election If you are in favor Of
this pretty flower, why not do a little
electioneering in it's behalf between
now and New Years day?
In trying to interest your neighbor in
the columbine, tell her that it grows
wild in every state of the union, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
Canada to the gulf, with the exception
of very small region about the lower
Mississippi, but even here it will grow
from seed. The flowers very name
suggests our beloved Columbia. The
botanical name of the flower. Aquile-
gia, was given to it for the reason that
eagles talons. Here comes in the ap-
propriate emblem of the eagle, our
country's bird, emblematic of fearless
power.
Nor is this all the symbolism we can
trace in the flower. A front view shows
the outline to be beautiful, five-rayed
star, and a single petal is in shape a
horn of plenty; among different cOlors
there is the brilliant red, pure white
and blue-Our national cOlors-and the
further significant fact is that the
leaf of the columbine. being made up
of many segments, exemplifies our
motto, = Pluribus Unum. E. L.

long time, and what was Luella's sur
prise to see them come down hand in /
hand and so out to the old settle IN
der the pine trees.
And there they sat and talked, and
her fathers arm was around Louise,
and Louise nestled her head against
him.
Luella watched them enviously from
the window. She had never dared in
amy Way TO express ner love Tor 0er
father and mother.
When Louise was years old she had
spent a winter with her grandmother in
a distant city. The children she had
met there were not like the country
children she had known.
Luella had listened with wonder and
longing to Louise's account of the love
parents and children showed each other
in the city.
I'm not going to be afraid of ma and
pa any more" she announced in con-
clusion You just wait and see."
Her father and mother after the first
surprised acceptance of LOuise's ca
resses came to believe that she loved
them more than Luella, and often told
Luella so when she was naughty.
Nov, she's just coaxing pa to be-
lieve she was not to blame. Luella
thought, taking another peep out of the
window.
And then Luella dreamed a day
dream often dreamed before-she was
sitting on her fathers knee out on the
old settle, and he was calling her pet
names, just as he did Louise.
She looked out of the window again
and the day dream ended. Louise was
crying and her fathers face was very
stern.
After a few minutes Louise came into

And Louise stayed in the house and
finished setting the table, and Luella
went out to the old settle.
i've been talking to Louise. and she
understood why she was punished, and
I've made her see that she has been
working on our feelings to get more
than her share of attention. You have
been thinking that we care more for
Louise than we do for you, havent
you, daughter?"
Luella's eyes filed with tears. Yes,
sir" she answered timidly, L have.
Her father put his arms around her.

to show what we feel, and I'm afraid
our thinking Louise was delicate has
made her take her own way with us.
Luella nestled her head against him.
You're the elder, but you've got
perfect right to your share of the pet
ting"
Luella jumped up and threw her arms
around his neck.
II love you Just as much as Louise
does, but I've been afraid to show it,
she said.
