THE suNFLowER..
Pretty Little Tale Of the Water
Nymph Clytie, Who was.
Turned Into One..

There ii$ hardly anyone who cannot
catch. q. glimpse of the sometimes
saucy, sometimes sad face in the pansy
and heartsease. BY just partially clos
ing the eyes lone can see many pretty
child faces in the pansy bed. But OF a
different class il the face of. Clytie (the
sun1l0wer).
She was a water nympH.. All Joy
and brightness of her life, she felt, came
from the glowing sun,aboye, to whom
she looked up in ever-growing wonder
and admiration. And it was butnatural
that her admiration should, change to
love, for whenever she looked away
from that bright face, to her. eyes,
blinded by it's brilliancy, the world and
and all things else seemed black and
comfortless.
Used as he was to worship, the heart
less sun god, Apollo, grew tired Of see
ing the countenance turned ever to-
ward him. Indeed, SO ardently did it
reflect his CLEAN that he seemed to be
held to that one spot with kind OF
fascination. OF course that would never
do. Grass and flowers and trees would
soon be so parched and dried that their
very life would wither away.
Still Clytie gazed with burning, pas
sionate eyes into the heart of her god,
but found it empty; Of all love for her.
Worse than blank it was. for g. great
anger toward that charm which: held
him transfxed.was fast filling it. With
last mighty effort he turned away
with a: resolve that he would never
again bless that land with his light.
Nine days Clytie sat; on the cold
ground, with her unbound hair stream
ing over her shoulders Other lovers
wooed her; the. gentle:breezek kissed her
and sought to turn. Her. thoughts from
her lost love- to-, himself: the dew
dropped quietly beside her and even en-
folded her in hissembrace., But there
she sat, tasting neither food'nor drink.
She gazed toward! the clouded sky in
vain longing. Still!as each day dawned
Sc caught but one glimpse of the sun
lYfore he turned his Horses away and
swept on to the west, :
Soon her limbs became rooted to the
ground and her"etreaming hair turned
into petals; flashing out around her
face like the rays of the sun god him
SELF. Every morning, so they say. this
sunfower turns on its stem, and Clytie.
sad and somber, looks'out' from her
golden halo of petals and follows with
mournful eyes the course of Apollo's

had been down town that there had
been q fire.
The smoke went all through the
building and this, with the fire. will
cause loss of between $4,000 and $4,000.
The upper part of the building will
have to be thoroughly cleaned and
painted. Down stairs new stills will
have to be put in and new floors laid.
The insurance on the building was SIG
