CARBON PLANT
BY Royal Dixon.

An interesting plant whose odor Is
considered unusually offensive is the car
rion plant (Smilax herbacea) II is one
of the most eXquisitely beautiful climbers,
and II has delicate tendrils almost as
slender as the threads OF a spiders WEBB
that wind round and round the little twigs
and branches of trees IT often grows -
the height of from twenty TO twenty-five
feet. and has small clusters of greenish
flowers which have an extremely un-
pleasant odor. Thoreau said the odOr was
IKE that "of dead rat in the wall"
The carrion plant has lance-shaped
leaves. but sometimes almost rounded,
and they are from two to five inches in
length; its fruit is red, often almost black,
and very abundant. The carrion plant
grove from Canada TO Texas. and Is
usually found in thick woods, especially
where the ground is low. 1t likes to climb
on pine trees. and it is not uncommon in
the South for reed birds to build their
nests in or near the carrion vine.

DISHONESTY IN CONTESTS.

Among the stories that we received
for the story conte't. we regret TO say
that there were several which were
not original. One story in particular
was copied word for word from book
Now. ANYBODY who has the time can
do this sort of thing. and we wonder
what the child who did this thought
he or she would win by doing IT. An
other story was not an original one
but was changed a little bit, in an
attempt TO make il seem original.
These things are. of course, very dlS-
honest and are the quickest means oil
weakening your character. You VIII
never as long as you live gain by
copying or depending upon other
people's work. You who have done
these things have lost not only win
the Judges of this contest but with
YOUR own selves, which is far more
serious.
We hope. however. that the reason
for these seeming diShonestieS was
because OF misunderstanding OF the
rules of the contest. and that after
this YOU will all try TO remember that
contests call for original work unless
the rules very plainly state otherwise

NATURES PLAN.

Some flowers look their fragrance; 9TH
ers startle us by the contrast between
their appearance and their odors. But
nature is very wise and each plant IS
given the peculiar odor that is necessary
IN attracting 10 II a certain kind Of a bee
or insect to distribute its pollen. Notice
the bees humming around the glaucous
willows. how they fly from flower TO
flower. They are hunting for food, but
the plant is having its yellow grains Of
pollen dust distributed so that it may
produce seeds. If this did not happen we
would have no new plants. SO nature
has wisely provided that every plant and
insect shall work in wonderful harmony
each helping the other TO carry on the
necessary work.

COlLON' GROWN
JOSTLED A BIT
[By Latest MALL

KEN0SHA, Wis. = Johnny Coulon,
the bantam weight champion, had his
crown jostIed here in his 10-round bout
with frankie Burns, which proved the
best fight ever held near Chicago.
Coulon showed his, old time speed,
but Burns clevernessN was surprise,
and Burns got an even break, and
many of the fight critics at the ring
side insisted he had a shade over the
champion.
1t was slashing mill from the first
tap of the gong and for four rounds
the two bantams boxed toe to toe
without either gaining an advantage.
The fifth round went TO Burns by a
Zig margin, the sixth was even, but
in the seventh Coulon's old time speed
gave him the advantage. In the eighth
and ninth both boys seemed tired and
both were willing to rush into clinch-
es. Coulon started the tenth with a
rush, but Burns met him half way
and had a shade the better OF the
round.
