of a very little newsboy who so appre-
ciated her kindness to him at news
boys dinner that he went to the extent
of great suffering for her sake. At

but others have doubts. At all events,
the young woman who, with a number
Of others, was engaged in serving the
boys, noticed this little boy way of at
one end Of the table. Many Of his lar
ger fellows were already hard at work
on the various good things, but this lit
tie fellow had evidently been neglected.

he did not lack for anything. Plate
after plate Of turkey was literally
showered upon him. Finally, as she
set another piece Of plum pudding In
front Of him, he rolled his eyes meekly
toward her and said in muffied tones:

Mama In India.

While India was suffering from the
greatest famine 1t had ever experienced
mama was found in the central prov
inces, where the scarcity had been
most keenly felt Mr.. David Hooper
Of the Indian museum. Calcutta. re-
Gently called attention to this fact In
The Mirror OF Trinidad. In March last
the strange appearance Of mamma on
the stems OF the bamboo was reported.
and notices Of the phenomenon were
published. The form In which the
mama occurred was that Of rods about
an inch long and pleasantly sweet. The
bamboo forests of Bhanda consist OF
bushy plants from 20 to 80 feet In
height, which grow upon the northerly
and westerly slopes OF central and
southern India. This is said to be the
first time in the history Of these forests
that sweet and gummy substance has
been known to exude from the trees.
The gum has exuded In some abun-
dance, and it has been found very pala-
table to the natives Of the neighbor-
hood, who have consumed it as food as
did the Israclites of old.
