HAD THE CHILDREN GUESSING
Chicago Youngsters FIoundered Bad
Iy When Asked to Describe One
Of the Simplest Flowers.

The pimpernel is simple, sweet
little flower that grows widely but II
would seem practically unknown to
the public school children of Chicago.
This, at least, was the conclusion
forced upon a certain teacher after
giving out a line from Tennyson's
Maud" and asking for its written
definition. The line was: AS the
pimpernel dozed on the lea," and here
are some of the answers received, in
addition to those defining the pimper-
mel as "a frog" "a small deer" "a
dragon fly" and "a small shrub like
a prickley pear"
The word pimpernel calls up to my
mind the image of a pampered cur.
He is a worthless brute who spends
most of his time doing in the sun
shine"
The pimpernel seems to me small
animal resembling an eel. II has short,
rounded ears and bright, beadlike
eyes. AS imagine 1t, the pimpernel
is lying half asleep on the grass near
the shore of lake, ready to slip into
the water at the slightest SOUND
"A pimpernel seems to me a tramp
or gypsy. He lies on the bank in the
sun with an old battered hat drawn
over his face
81 do not know what the word
means. but it instantly suggests to me
a small lizard covered with pimples
or warts. The image flashed upon my
mind as soon as the word was spoken
and is still vivid and distinct. Al
though | never heard the word before,
/ seem always to have known 1t and
TO attach this meaning to 1t. am alb
surdly confident that this Is the true
meaning"
All of which would seem to prove
that the juvenile imagination. given
free rein. can make strange work OF
almost any given thought or idea.

would request few moments of Johns
time, would walk in, lay down the let
ter, ask him if he had anything to say,
and then go home.
It was nearly eleven o'clock before
the slow-moving car reached Andover,
street. She might have taken the
train. But she wanted to spin out the
journey as long as possible.
She got down from the car and en-
tered the dreary Office building, high
up on the seventh floor of which
John had his business quarters. She
had never been there since their mar
riage. She knew that he had a book
keeper, a stenographer and an Office
boy. When she went in she saw the
same Office boy and bookkeeper; but
there was new stenographer.
"Why, Mary!" John was at the door,
looking at her with a puzzled express
sion. He was holding her hands.
MARY! What is wrong, dear?"
She could not help her tears. Send
that-woman away" she said in a fal-
tering voice, and the stenographer
withdrew softly, smiling a little. She
had seen mems wives go to their hus'
bands Offices before. Mary Benton
entered, put down her bag and, stand
ing like recording angel, flung down
the letter silently. John Benton read
it and suddenly began to laugh uproar-
iously.
John, what do you mean? Can you
offer any excuse at all? What is it?"
John Benton read solemnly:
my dearest, sweetest Jack-When
are you going to take me out to din
ner again, as you did on the goth,
sweetheart? | miss you every hour of
the day-more than miss Hairoff. the
new patent scissors for cutting your
own hair. When ] see my brothers
Hairoff | think of your own dark, lus'
trous locks. +"
"Oh. pshaw!" said John, throwing
the letter down. That's mimeo-
graphed' circular. Mary; we're flooding
the country with them. Everybody
will read them and want a pair. Look
at those stacks of letters up there,
dearest-they're all the same letter,
all those thousands of them. And you
thought-you really thought"
But Mary was past thinking now;
she was In his arms, and her tears
were those of relief, happiness and hui
initiation.

False Sore Throat.

If you come home after hard days
work with a raw, rasping feeling in
your throat, which becomes quite
painful, do not be deceived into be-
lieving that you are contracting a sore
throat, and accordingly take medicine
for this affection. The throat will oft
en- become dry and painful from great
fatigue, or from neglect to eat at the
proper time. II the subject will drink
cup of hot water. or take a table
spoonful of cocoanut or olive oil. and
thereafter lie down and relax for fif-
teen or twenty minutes. the feeling
will, most likely, disappear. The sub
ject should. under these circum-
stances, eat an easily digestible din
ner with little meat, and no acids of
any kind.

NOT A LOVE LETTER
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.

John Benson rose hurriedly from the
breakfast table and plunged for his
hat; then he plunged for his wife.
"Good-by. dearest" he said. claspipg
her as tightly as he could, considering
that he was holding a derby and bag
full of office papers. Il must catch
that S:27."
"Good.by, John" said Mary BentoD,
kissing him fondly. 81 do wish you
didn't have to hurry away to that old
Office" she added, pouting.
1T won't be for long, said her hus-
band. IF our great new advertising
scheme goes through well food the
country with notices of our new pat
ent. Everybody will read them It's
my own idea. Can't stop to tell you
now. Good-by" And, with a hurried
final kiss. he was through the door
and fastening toward the station.
Mary sighed little-then smiled.
She and John had been married only
six months and they we're very fond of
each other.
She put away the breakfast things:
then, still smiling at the thought Of her
husbands haste, she went into the lit.
tie room in which he worked at nights
upon the new advertising plan. A
piece of paper lay in one corner; 1t
had evidently fiuttered out of his desk
and fallen there, unnoticed. She
picked it up and, glancing at It. felt
her heart throb painfully. She could
hardly read the words that danced
before her eyes.
1t was a love letter, and 1t began:
my dearest, sweetest Jack" 1t wee
typewritten-evident that the writer
might remain immune against discov-
cry.
Worst Of all, It was headed 2247 An
dover street-her husbands business
address.
Mary Benton had the quick temper
which accompanies many lovable ma
lures. She flung the letter into cor
ner and packed her bag. She was de-
termined to 60 home to her mother.
Then at last she composed herself,
dabbed some cologne upon her eyes,
put the letter in her bag and started
down town. She would be very quiet
and very calm and give the woman no
occasion to triumph over her. She

Use Charcoal Freely.

Charcoal should be freely used in
the poultry yard. Pounded fine and
mixed with the soft feed fed to the
fowls, II cleanses the system of i'm
purities. AS it acts upon the blood it
acts upon the life of the fowl. When
the blood is thick and clotty, a dull,
sick chicken will soon follow. Thin
blood means vigorous circulation, and
on a good circulation of blood, health
largely depends. II your fowls lack
activity. they need something to stir
the blood out of its sluggishness. 1t
is best to keep the charcoal in a dry
place, and when needed. grind or
pound some fine and mix with soft
food.

TO AMEND FIRE LAWS
New Bill Would Restore Proven
tion Powers to Commissioner.

Alexander c. MacNulty. Assistant Cor
poration Counsel sent to Governor Gynl
yesterday a new bill, which he prepared
at the request of Abram /. E,lltus. counsel
for the State Factory investigating Com
mission. empowering the Fire Commits
sioner of New York TO enforce fire drills
in the schools, hospitals asylums and
other such institutions and to compel
owners of factories properly 10 safeguard
their employees from fire.
This power was taken from the Fire
Commissioner when the recent bills rec
commended by the factory investigatirE
committee became laws. and through an
inadvertence the authority was not dele
gated to any other responsible officer.
Mr. MacNulty said yesterday that this
state of affairs might eliminate in a
serious disaster at any moment, and for
that reason the new bill was prepared and
should be enacted. The Governor is re-
quested to bring it before the special scs-
sion Of the Legislature, which cOnvenCs
tomorrow.
In a letter 10 the Governor signed by
Mr.. Elkus. James NJ. Lynch, Commits
sioner of Labor: the Industrial Board OF
the State Labor Department and the Pub
lie Safety Commission, ii is explained that
should a great loss of life occur as the
result Of a fire resulting from violation
Of the fire laws, not one official or body
OF officials could be held responsible
Meanwhile, the Fire Commissioner has
been enforcing the drills and factory reg
ulations without due authority.
