THE PRIZE LETTER.

Dear Editor: During vacation several of US girls
vent 10 Bergen Beach outing, and met
with quite adventure there.
We went in the shoot the chutes'' first, and
what fun had Then rode the Inerry-go
round, and my friend caught the brass ring which
gave her a ride free. After leaving there came
10 long. low building. the front Of which was
f. sign Come in and get lost; the Mystic Maze"
The place certainly did look mysterious and as We
were all very curious, my friend bought the tickets
sn6 we went inside At first went into
row passage, and from there into room about
four feet square, with four red doors, all alike
and { skylight N the roof. We went through one
OF these doors only 10 come into another room
.ust the same as the first, with four more red
doors We tried TO open one Of these doors, but 1t
was locked. and across the top was written
.'Skiddoo. g" We then went through of the
other doors, and came into another room similar
70 the first ones. We kept going from one room
10 another for nearly hour, each time going
into room so like the first that we could not
tell whether II was the same
There was hardly any one n the maze besides
ourselves, and last il was getting dark we
tacaroe frightened for We could not find our way
out To add 70 our alarm four big boys came yell
ing through the rooms at the top Of their voices
They saw how scared we We're and so screamed
Mamma come and take out; We are lost!' AT
this nv small sister began TO cry, and altogether
we were a very forIorn looking party. We called
loudly for the guard take out At first he
did not hear Us; but at last after we had al
screamed together, he came, and angrLy asked us
what we wanted. We told him fast enough, and
we're hustled out in short order. We had really
only been through four ROOMS, ell the time we
we're n the maze. You we had gone around IN
{ circle the whole time.
TteI you we were glad 10 get out. and got home
as fast as We could One thing am sure Of and

HER FIRST HIGH HEELS.

On rainy days my sister and I always take our
lunch TO school. Before going into school we
always go next door to little order coffee.
We also take in going for 1t. Just before you
enter the lunch room in the school is iron mat
to scrape the mud off your shoes.
1t happened the day went for the coffee had
a pair Of the first high heel shoes on I had
worn, and Just l L the stairs of the
lunch room my heel caught in the mat and I was
thrown headlong down the stairs, with the coffee
in my hand The jar that held the coffee was
smashed into a thousand pieces and the coffee was
spashed all over.
The principal came rushing down. very angry.
and wanted to kno-y who did IL. After the girls
told who did II and now 1t happened he asked If
not well and If hadn't better go home. When
I told him that was not III but that it was the
high heel shoes that did the damage, he laughed
very heartily and told all the teachers in the build

These mem branes are liable TO

IrOnynOnK ger.

The word "ironmonger" has rs curl
ous an origin rs any other word in the
English language. 1t means literally
ON eater of iron and came to its present
use in this way. There was once law
that forbade buying fish to sell again,
and the fish hawkcrs, who still carried
on their trade in spite of this law, were
facctiously termed fish eaters or fish
mongers, for to cvadc the law, their
large purchases OF fish were said to hc
for their own consumption. Gradually
the term mongcr was applied to other
trades, as checsemonger, until Mt last
it came to mean any middle man, as
distinguished from manufacturer. and
so was applied to the dealer in hard
ware.-London Graphic.

AQUATIC PLANTS
How They May he Successfully Culti-
waited In Tubs.


The cultivation Of aquatic plants in
tubs makes it possible for any one to
try his skill with them. OF course he
need not expect to be able to grow the
rarcr sorts Of nymphaea, but he can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
of water lily and other plants of that
class. half barrel is not very at
tractiye In itself, but its lack Of beauty
may be concealed by the plants, or 1t
may be sunk its depth in the earth.
When II contains fine specimen Of
some aquatic plant we VIII forget all
about its lack OF grace. When prepar-
ing for these plants put In rich black
mud from the bed Of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth OF Il foot;
then plant your roots In 1t and fill with
water. Add enough water from time
to time TO make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub
sunny place in the yard or garden. lf
YOU want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate, 1t Is good
plan to take four, five, six. or az many
as you may decide on, and have them
sunk in the ground close together, so
that the general effect will be some
thing like that which large tank
would give. \ better plan, though a
more expensive one to carry out. IS
to have tank constructed Of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolt
cd at the ends and the joints made
tight by white lead In the grooves.

The General Treasurer has adver-
tised the sale of $600.0 worth of state
bonds. The money received for these
bonds will be used in the construction
of macadam roads i'm various parts of
the state. This bond issue was voted by
the people and II seems to be a very
general opinion that the object for
which the funds will be used is desir-
able and practical. In the expenditure
of this large sum of money care and
Judgment should be used. Very likely
the State Highway Commission is
made up of careful and practical men.
This Board however, should be eau
tious in there very laudable endeavor
to build as much road as possible with
the funds available, not to build too
cheap roads.
For example the road from Pocasset
west towards North Scituate is alto.
gether too light and fragile for the
teaming that goes over IL. The road
has been constructed only a short
time, but even now II is showing evi-
dences of long and hard wear. In fact
IL is very badly cut up. Such road
building is not profitable for the state.
Hartford Pike is one of the main
thoroughfares into Providence and
pleasure riding i'm autos and light car.
riages takes secondary place to
heavy teaming. A road of light con.
struction might be all right in some
parts of the state but on Hartford
pike is as out of place as a bull i'm a
china shop.
