handsome and gorgeous flowers grow

of b flowers look like dainty pink
and white and yellow and purple and
crimson dahlias. Others look almost
like daisies. with lacel.ke petals.
Others look like little star flowers, all
pure white and perfect. These flowers
are of all sizes, from tiny ones barely
large enough to see to great ones al
most large enough to fill a saucer
But If you will watch these flow
ers" for a few minutes you will jump
suddenly, for all at once you will see
one move Its petals. Then you will
see another and another do 1t. Slowly
the petals unfold or contract, with
little Jerking movements. sometimes
twining in the water like snakes.
Tap smartly on the table on which
the tanks stand, and like lightning all
the petals Will have disappeared.

ers at all. They are living creatures.

HOW THE INDIANS o T
They Are Very deliberate and Then
Have IA Simple Method.

Have IA simple Method.
The Chickasaw Indians cast their
vote differently from the way the
white man Goe- It. They meet the day
before the election, and none but
vote. No white man or intermarried
citizens have the right of suffrage.
They 90 of to themselves and have a
pow wow. They decide for whom they
will vote after considering the matter
for twenty-four hours.
The polling place is quite unlike that
Of the white man. There is a great
sheet of paper, white, yellow or brown
as the case may be, about three feet
square. Upon this sheet OF paper are
a vast number of cross lines, regularly
ruled OF with a pencil. Then down
one side of the sheet of paper are
placed the names of all candidates for
office, beginning with the candidates
for governor and running on down to
precinct officers. AT the top of the
sheet are the number Of blank spaces
that will be required for the names Of
the voters. The judges Of election sit
by and pass OF those entitled to vote.
and there Is a certainty that no Illegal
votes are cast.
The Indian is thoroughly deliberate.
He takes his time when 1t comes I o
voting. He proceeds to the polling
place, looks carefully over the poll
sheet. and II he is ready to cast his
ballot he calls out his name. and the
clerk records II on the sheet. Then the
clerk reads of the names OF the can
didates for governor. The voter DELHI
crates awhile, calls out the name of
the candidate for whom he desires to
vote, bis vote is recorded. and the
names OF the candidates for the next
ONCE are called out. and so on through
the list. till all the offices represented
are voted for.
Thus 1t is hat every voter knows
exactly how every other voter has asst
his ballot, and there are no remarks,
no suggestions and no quarrels over
differences Of opinion.
