FLOWERS BROKEN IN LIES STORM WANDER
AMONG PERFECT FLOWERS AT SHOW
BY JANE whitaker

Did you ever see a garden after a
storm when the flowers, so exquisite,
are still beautiful, but they lean on
broken stems?
There were exquisite flower faces
of children roaming around in the
garden Of flowers at the Coliseum
yesterday, sixty of them, tiny tots
with dark eyes heavily fringed with
black lashes or with blue eyes and
brown lashes, looking for all the
world like big white daisies with vel
low centers and yellow daisies with
brown centers, but the flowers leaned
on broken stems.
They were the crippled children
from the Home for Crippled Children,
from the County hospital and from
the Home for Convalescent Women
and Children. brought to the flower
show by members of the Sunbeam
league, young girls and women who
called for the children and drove
them to the flower exhibition in their
own cars.
They roamed around, some of
them imping on crutches, some not
able to walk at all, but pushed in
chairs, some bent over with crooked
backs-but the beauty of the flow
ers was reflected in each little face
as each chubby hand or thin hand
cIutched a rose given to them by
Wittbold's or a chrysanthemum do
mated by the show officials.
Ooh, look at them dandelions!"

a medium-sized yellow chrysanthe-

f1irtatiously through her lashes.
do you see that tiny fellow sitting
on the steps," asked Miss G. A. Nc
CHM, kindergarten teacher in the
Crippled Children's Home, a part of
the philanthropy of the Sunbeam
league. Every tot is bringing things
to him. His name is Danny and he is
so crippled he can scarcely feed him
self, but the children love him to
death. The little fellow next to him
emptied his pockets of candy and the
tot in front of him gave him rose"
l looked, but what l noticed most
was a little fellow with very crook
ed back, sitting hunched up, looking
down into the heart of large, dark
red chrysanthemum-his face, old
for that of child, pressed close to it,
while on the steps below sat another
little tot, her clutches lying beside
her, as she stared out over the dis
play with serious eyes.
What does it all look like to your"
l asked her. She did not smile nor
look back at me. Her eyes were still
on the flowers and she opened her
lips for just one word: Pretty" Then
she ignored me entirely, but the pu-
pills Of her eyes seem to contract and
expand as though they were trying
to impress on her beauty-hungry lit

of the flowers.

Precious Stones.

II is not definitely known how the
names Of certain months became asso-
ciated with the names Of certain
stones L is thought, however. that
there is a relation, real or supposed,
between the character of the month
and the stone which has come to rep
resent it. April, for instance. marks
the beginning of spring weather, when
the sun shines brilliantly In contrast
with the winter sun. and the diamond
appropriately represents this month.
In May green foliage appears. and the
emerald is therefore a fitting gem.
There are many different lists of
months and the birthstones assigned
to them, but the one which follows 10
commonly accepted. II was adopted
by the American National Retail Jew
elers' in convention, August s, 1913:
January, garnet; February, amethyst;
March. bloodstone and aquamarine;
April, diamond; May, emerald; June,
pearl and moonstone; July, ruby; Au-
gust. sardonyx and peridot; Septem-
Der, sapphire; October, opal and tour
maline; November, topaz; December.

the Chinaman. retiring obsequiously
backward
And il was evident that Count
Okuma had not the slightest suspicion
OF what had happened. Sir Arthur
had stepped hastily back to his side.
and the American minister was in the
room.
Il have the great sorrow OF an
nouncing to you, sir. the demise of his
imperial majesty, ten minutes ago.
said Count Okuma to the minister
With few murmured words of sor.
row. the minister quickly produced .
written memorandum OF coincidence.
which the count placed among the
others on his desk.
Your excellency.' he continued,
there is a communication Of some i'm
portance which / have to make to
you on behalf Of the imperial japanese
government, do so. for reasons
which this communication makes ap.
parent in the presence Of his excel
lency. the British ambassador"
And he handed the minister the red
envelope
The American minister took the en-.
velope and. bowing. withdrew. He
hesitated at the door, and seemed de-
sirous OF addressing Sir Arthur but
the latter hurried past him to his
apartment and we left together a few
minutes later. as the thunder of guns
announced the accession OF Yoshi
hito. the new emperor of Japan.
How nearly great war between
Japan and America, and another be-
tween the two English-speaking ma.
tions, was frustrated. becomes clear
from the following letter. which I re-
ceived from Sir Arthur in Shanghai:
The American minister called on
me at ten o'clock the morning Of the
day you left.
Il never heard that the Japanese
were an absent-minded people. Sir Ar
thur, he said. laughingly, but this is
too good to hold. Permit me to show
you what Count Okuma handed to me
last night. ] telephoned to ask il a
mistake had been made, but the count
had been taken III and was in bed, his
secretary told me-
And he pulled the red envelope out
OF his pocket and handed me-Count
Okuma's laundry list: Three pairs OF
silk paiamas, a dozen linen handker-
chiefs. and numerous other items
prove that the counts Spartan sim.
plicity is more apparent than real. No
wonder that Okuma was taken ill af.
ter the discovery.
Il owe you a thousand thanks for
your assistance. Doctor Fongs re.
venge had all the Chinese subtlety,
did il not? But often wonder wheth-
er the laundryman received a COM
munication instructing him to aban-
don his premises under threat of naval

FOR PROLONGATION OF YOUTH
Hope-At so or so Man Cannot
Be Called Aged.

II there be any one thing that dis.
tinguishes our age from the ages
which have preceded it. it is the pro-
longation OF youth, remarks the Roch
ester Post-Express. Formerly a girl
who did not marry before her twenty.
sixth summer was looked upon as
passe. At thirty-ive, if she remained
unwedded, she was described as a con.
firmed old maid Now she may be
young at twenty-six, and no sane per
son considers her unmarriageable at
thirty-fve.
A man is no longer old at fifty, OF
even at sixty. AS DR.. c. W. Saleeby.

thing about psychology, admirably
puts ii: eff your arteries are soft, If
you still believe in life and love and
friendship and the future, it does not
matter a straw how old your body may
be; you are still young, for your soul
is young. and youth is state of the
soul" He adds that the revolution
which is taking place in our ideas OF
youth and age means the union of two
precious things, enthusiasm and ex.
perience. which to our ancestors ap
peared incompatible.
One result Of the change must be
that we shall have fewer youthful
prodigies. William Pitt was prime
minister OF England at twenty-four,
but in the future politicians in the
early twenties will be only boy ora.

ship for the work OF government.
Youth will have to wait longer be-
cause it will last longer. Withal, age
will be genial. not harsh. and the
young may learn from those who,
though growing old. still retain the
spirit Of youth. how to enjoy the pass
ing years wisely.

Doctor Fong.
Sir Arthur turned the paper up.
Upon the other side was written:
This is to certify that I have COM
plete confidence in Doctor Fong"
You are not conscious OF the lapse
Of any interval Of time since began
this experiment, your excellency?"
Fong inquired.

Of minutes" / explained, as Sir Ar
thur looked from the paper to US in
bewilderment. And it took a couple
OF minutes more before We could get
him to understand. Then Fong ex-
planned.
Extract OF venatica," he explained,
taking out the vial and tapping il
with his lean forefnger. The For
mosan head-hunters are acquainted
with its peculiar properties. In China
We use something better. However,
this enables them to get heads. The
drug not only produces immediate un-
consciousness, when inhaled-you
were inhaling it when you thought
you were looking at it-but there is
no remembrance. after awakening. of
anything that has happened since the
first inhalation"
All the innate pharisaism OF the
Englishman came to the surface as
Sir Arthur answered:
Il can't countenance that method,
DOCTOR" he said, little pompously,
and, / thought. q little humiliated.
But IL you think you can get the doc
ument in"
Il understand. your exceIlency." re-
piled Doctor Fong blandiy. The doc
ument is the first consideration, after
which We can proceed to analyze the
means we have employed. By the
way, his majesty's end is expected at
any moment now, and I must return to
my post OF duty. You can trust me,
your excellency," he added. as he
bowed himself through the door.
At five O'Clock we we're still In Sir
Arthur's quarters. The American
minister had returned twice, to inform
us that Mutsuhito was at deaths door.
The French minister had looked in TO

do you know" he said to me,
when the minister had gone, that sort
OF man makes the best possible am
bassador? Directness, guilelessness
are awfully puzzling for the sophisti-
Gated japanese mind. However-here
is our friend"
Doctor Fong was just entering the
doorway. and, though it was years
since | had seen him, knew him i'm
mediately. The yellow, wrinkled skin
looked as much like parchment, the
wiry, thin mustache still drooped
blackly on either side Of the sensi-
tive mouth, and the eyes. behind their
heavy convex lenses, were shrewd,
kindly, and yet impenetrable.
Doctor Fong murmured my name as
he shook hands with me.
Il see you have a long memory for
faces, doctor" said Sir Arthur
Il never forget anything" replied
Fong quietly.
Mr.. x is to be trusted implicit
ly," said Sir Arthur. He understands
the entire situation, and thoroughly in
dorses your ability"
Il am delighted" murmured Fong,
in his monotonous, soft tone. And
now, we will begin by trusting one an
other completely in this affair. 1t is
your excellency's desire to obtain a
certain document now in the posses
sion of a distinguished diplomatist?"
IF II can be done honestly" said
Sir Arthur. Il mean," he added, Il
cannot countenance any Objectionable
methods. Confound it, Doctor Fong.
We have got to get possession of that
document before sundown," he added.
Where is it,"
Upon the person OF the distin-
guished diplomatist, answered the
doctor.
How can you get it?"
viii you permit me to show your
excellency in pantomime?' inquired
Fong.

doctor take a small phiai from his
