Valid Claim for Damages.

A Portland (Ore.) dispatch tells of an
application for indemnity filed under
the workmen's compensation law Of
the state by farm hand. The blank
form for the filing of claims contains
TWO questions, evidently intended to
apply to injuries sustained in mills or
factories. One of these is. What was
the nature of the machine by which
you were injured?" The other ques-
ton is, WAS the machine in good or

the first of these questions the answer
was, Gross" and to the second was
an enthusiastic, heavily written and
boldly underlined YES" To the ques-
ton, How were you hurt?" the an.

The Hebrew word for the flower is
shushan, shoshan or shoshannah, end
though there is little doubt the word
denotes some plant of the lily species,
it is by no means certain what class
it specially designates. In the Holy
Land there are lilies that hold the
purpling blue of eastern skies; that
glow with the blood-red fire Of the
deserts dusty sunset; that have the
pure white of spiritual appeal and the
grace in curve and line that touch
the senses like a strain of exquisite
music.
AS we of the West know the lily,
the more cultivated species are the
white or Madonna lily, the tiger or
tiger-spotted lily, and the golden lily.

as used in the Holy Land was general,
not referring to any particular spe-
