colonial days, where the Philadelphia
boats tied up at the old Burlington
wharf.
In the history Of his own life Frank
lin tells how he stopped in Burlington
as 9 poor boy while en- route from
New York to Philadelphia. He missed
the. Philadelphia boat and, awaiting
the next passage, stayed at the home
OF an old woman, who was very kind
and with utmost good will" gave him
a dinner Of beefsteak. When his
aged hostess learned he was a printer,
she advised that he open up a shop
IN this town; but with only a few cop
per coins in his pockets he could not
finance the project and went on to
Philadelphia, where he had already
procured a position.
His employer later received an or
der from the government of New Jer-
sey for a big issue of paper money,
and Franklin, as a trusted and expert
foreman, was sent to Burlington to
set up the pEint shop and print the
currency. He made Burlington his
home for many months before COM
plotting the. work and then returned to
Philadelphia, later to establish there
y publishing business still in exist
ence. During his employment here
the author OF Poor Richards Al
manac" won the close friendship Of
many prominent Burlingtonians and in
later years frequently visited this city.

Chicago Youngsters FIoundered Bad
iy When Asked to Describe One
OF the Simplest Flowers.

The pimpernel is q simple, sweet
little flower that grows widely, but it
would seem practically unknown to
the public school children of Chicago.
This. at least, was then 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 received. in
addition to those defining the pimper-
mel as "a frog" a "a small deer" "a
dragon ny" and "a small shrub like
a prickley pear"
The word pimpernef 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

A curious incident Is reported from
Canton, @. Christmas day Earl White,
aged sixteen, and blind for many
years, kne1t all day by the bier of his
brother, who was killed in a railroad
accident, praying that God would re
store his sight long enough to enable
him to see the face of his dead

were continued through the night and
in the morning his desire was grant
ed. His sight returned to him and he
looked on the face of the one he
loved. And then darkness returned.

CHAPTER xv.-contlnusd.


Hamlin stood a moment silent, half
inclined to ask another question. but
crushing back the inclination. Then
he walked down the hall to the quar-
ters assigned IN" troop. and across to
hls bed In the far corner. There were
only . few Of the men present, most
OF whom were busily engaged at a
game OF cards, and he sat down where
he could gaze out the window and
think. Here was q new complication,
2 fresh puzzle to be ~unraveled. He
had never expected this woman t.
come into his life again; she had be-
come . blurred, unpleasant memory, a
bit Of his past which he had supposed
was blotted out forever. Mrs. Dupont
then she had not married LIE Fevre
after AL! He duly wondered why,
yet was not altogether surprised. Even
- he turned this fact over and over
In his mind, specializing upon 1t, he
became aware OF q man leaving the
door OF McDonald's quarters. and
advancing back of officers row to-
wards the barracks. AS the fellow
drew near, Hamlin recognized the SOL
dier who had been driving the car.
rtAge. = moment later the man en-
tered the room. spoke to the group OF
GARD players. and then came straight
across toward him.

fellow disappeared. hesitating between
hope and dread. Which Of the two
women had ventured to write him?
What could be the unexpected mes
sagef Al last his eyes scanned the
three short lines:

understand each other. AZ ten to-

I do not know what the word

a small lizard covered with pimples

mine 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. l 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.

The Postage Stamp Code.

u SSe'F
Ever since l have had this depart
ment, 10, these many years, have
been besieged by youthful readers for
the stamp language" AS these little
messengers go around the world, some
one has devised these Specifications
~~accordings as to how they are placed
on the envelope. l cannot imagine re-
Numbering all the various positions,
but l am glad to print them as they
are, for all those who have asked for
them, and hope a long felt want has
been supplied.
A stamp placed at the top right
hand oorner means-Business; or l
wish your friendship.
Same corner, upside down-Write
no more.
Same corner, crosswise-I send a
kiss.
Same corner, horizontally-Do you
love me?
At the bottom right-hand corner
You are very cruel.
Same corner, upside down-Can you
not trust me?
Same corner, horizontally-You are
changed.
In the middle, at right side-Write
soon.

ry.

At the top left-hand corner-Good-
by, sweetheart.
Same corner, upside dowa-I love
you.
Same corner, crosswise-My heart
is another's.
Same corner, HORIZONTALLY hate
you.
At the bottom left-hana corner-I
seek your acquaintance.
Same corner, upside down. wish
you Joy.

tons.
Same place, horizontally-Are you
Jealous?
In the middle at the bottom-No.
Same place, upside down-You are
too loving.
Same place, horizontally-My par
ents object.
OF course all these messages are
carried by a single stamp-either a
two-cent one fixed on a letter or a
penny one on a postcard.
Two penny stamps on a letter carry
quite different set Of meanings, as the
following list will show:
Two stamps at the top right-hand
corner mean-Meet tonight, same
place.
Same corner, upside down-Your
father suspects.
Same corner, crosswise-Danger.
At the bottom right-hand corner
Going away.
Same corner, upside down-See you
on Sunday.
Same corner, crosswise-Can call?

Fire b Flame,

An English engineer named Bode
has invented a way to have nre with.
out flame. His apparatus consists Of
a porous plate or mass of nre-resist-
ing fragments. within which he mixes
infammable gas and air in the right
proportions.
When the a is first turned on and
lighted 1t burns with a flame at the
surface of the plate. When the air is
turned on the flame disappears, but
the heat increases. A temperature Of
5000 degrees is claimed.
Just what use Of this Invention can
be made is yet q question.

Daisy Party for Children.

Daisy Party for Children.
The daisy Is procurable nearly all the
year round, either wild, cultivated or
from the florist, and children love it,
SO with this in mind the party de-
scribed was given. At a paper novelty
house large daisies were obtained
having just eight petals. The children
were given the yellow centers, and
the petals were neatly cut off and
hidden through h rooms. The child
who first found eight petals was given
a tube OF paste and told to paste them
back ON to the center. These daisies
could easily be made at home, cutting
the center from yellow cardboard and
having the petals at least three inches
long. Award a prize to the child who
first gets the daisy completed. Then
another good stunt is to have them
make a daisy chain by giving each
child a coarse needle and thread and a
big bowl Of daisy petals and see who
can make the longest chain in four
minutes.
Daisy in the DELI is an enjoyable
game, and is played by forming he
children in a circle and having them
join hands, then choose one as daisy
picker, who run around the outside Of
the ring, crying: Daisy in the Dell.
Daisy in the Dell, I don't pick you, I
don't pick you, I do pick you"
The player whom the picker"
touches must try to run clear around
the circle and back to his place be-
fore the daisy picker touches him. If
successful he does not have to bo
"it," but if caught he takes the place
OF picker.
The refreshments may be madev very
attractive by having individual cakes
with daisies on top made with marsh
mallow petals and yellow frosting cen
tiers. Stems and leaves are made
from angelica. Place cards may have
real daisies thrust through the corner
OF card, and serve the icecream in
halves Of oranges; pierce holes around
the edge of the halves and insert a
daisy in each opening. This makes a
circle Of daisies around the top and
the effect is lovly. Orange gelatine
capped with whipped cream may be
used instead of icecream.

A Good Thing to Know.

To increase the lasting capacity Of
candles keep them in the icebox for "a
hours before using. They will burn
much slower, and to the up-to-date
hostess who uses candles constantly
this is quite an item. 1t is quite GUS
tomary to light the dining room al
most entirely with candles placed
around the room or the plate rail,
mantel and sideboard. These are not
shaded, and it is a very pretty idea to
have individual candles at each plate.
These are usually shaded.

Divides the future from the past;
Before it, sleeps the unborn hour,
In darkness, and beyond thy power;
Behind it's unreturning line,
The vanished hour, no longer thine;
One hour alone Is in thy hands
The now on which the shadow stands.
