r. Little Licorice.

Pretty nearly two millions of dol
lars worth of licorice is used up in
this country every year. 1t all comes
from the lands bordering on the
Mediterranean.
Most people think that licorice
comes from the, wooden tWigs and
branches of a tree. But in reality the
licorice wood is the root part of a
very pretty. dainty plant, which has
beautifully shaped leaves that are col
ored bright green on one side and a
pale silvery green on the other.
The licorice plant is a perennial,
and in England, where they are trying
to make an industry of raising it, the
experimenters plant it in rows be-
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean and Oriental countries
great plantations are given up to it
altogether.
The 1icorice plant throws out i'm
mense feshy roots, full of juice when
they are fresh. They spread and bur-
row far in the earth, and a good big
hole has to be dug to get them all
out
The 1icorice wood, as we see it here,
represents only about half the original
weight and size of the root, for fully
so per cent. of its juice is lost in dry
ing it. Therefore the licorice dealers
are getting to be more and more in
favor of squeezing the juice out of
the roots on the spot and then ship
ping this extract.

And the Maids of Honor stood on
their tiptoes, and gazed and gazed.
They go to the MILL" said one
finally.
But the mill has stopped" said the
youngest Maid, who was all in scar
let, and who had raven hair and
cheeks like cherries and lips like wine.
Then as puff of wind ruf1ed her
curls she took long Whit
What ravishing smell" she cried.
Then all of the other maids shifted
eagerly.
"Ah," they cried, your gracious
majesty, it is most ravishing smell"
for, poor things, they had eaten only
one little cake each for lunch, and
they were very, very hungry.
But the Princess was not hungry,
for she was living on love.
60, Floribella,' she said to the lit
tie Maid in the scarlet robe, ''go, and
| find out what carries the people to
the MILL
Away flew the little maid, and pres
emily the three other maids pleaded
for permission to follow, and to escort
them went four gentlemen-in-wa waiting,
and the Princess was left alone on her
high terrace.
| She saw the Maids and Gentlemen
all in blue and gold and scarlet at the
end of the long line, and in front OF
them were the elders, and in front OF
the elders the youth and maidens, and
in front of them the eager children
And when they reached the mill, the
Miller came out to meet them. anc
the children cried:
ooh, Miller, what do you grind?"
i And the Miller laughed gay laugh
and flung open the door, and there
heaped on great table, piled UP in
great pan, and Overlooking to the
floor, they saw the wonderful white
: popped corn, which gave out such +;
tempting fragrance that all the little
boys and girls smacked their lips, anc
reached out their hands. But theil
elders held them back.
!: Who knows they whispered, q
1t is good to eat 1t may harm them.
But Floribella tossed her head anc
pushed her way through the GROVE

their heads he smiled at the scarlet
gowned little Maid, who huttered here
and there popping white, sweet bits
into the mouths of the tiniest ones
and helping the feeble old folks in the
rear
"And now," said the Miller, wher
everyone had eaten his fill of the won
derful corn, 1--WE will go to ths
Princess" and he filled fine white
bag with hot corn, flung it over his
shoulder, and with Floribella by his
side led the way to the Palace.
Taste, your gracious Majesty" he
cried, as he knelt at the Princess
feet, and the Princess tasted and clap
ped her hands with delight.
1T is yours, gracious Majesty" said
the Miller, proudly, as he stood before
her, with his golden curls like crown
and his blue eyes dancing with happi-
ness. "You shall be the popcorn
princess, and grow rich, and your PEG
pie shall be prosperous" and ther
everybody shouted and laughed fol-
Joy, and the Miller smiled at Flori-
bella, and Florihella smiled at the
Miller.
But the Princess looked away to-
wards the dark tower.
"And / can marry my Prince" she
thought, but she did not say it aloud
for it is not we'll that the people
should see into the heart of a
Princess.
And as the time went on the peo-
pie planted the purple corn, and made
popcorn balls, and pink popcorn, and
penny bags of popcorn, and grew rich
and famous, and the Miller was made
the Keeper of the Royal Grain.
And the Princess married the
Prince, and lived happy ever after.
Oh, yes, and Floribella married the
Miller, which was the very best thing
of all, and always from their castle
heights foated flag of scarlet, in the
center of which was snowy popcorn
ball.

they will make your fortune. You

Tacoma has boosted that $50 pupils

schools this year. Spokane can give
Tacoma cards and spades and then
win out.
There have been 144 pupils gradu-
ated already this year from Spokane
grammar schools and there are at
present 443 pupils enrolled in the
grammar grade, all of whom expect
to be graduated this June. Or TINS
number it is not likely, through COM
parison with former years, that more
than 43 will fail to pass.
Granting, however, that 100 Of this
number will fail in the final examina-
tions, Spokane will still have lead
over the Anticipated coast city OF ~
pupils. 1t is more likely, however,
that Spokane's lead will be nearer the
100 mark, If it is not in excess of 1t.
