In Chicago and concluded with this:

vorce, but my wife makes my life mis-
erable. After l get home at 6 o'clock

The Orchid.

The orchid is a peculiar plant, for,
strange as it may seem, there is no
distinctively orchid odor. One smells
like the violet, others like the rose, the
hyacinth, the daffodil Orchids are the
monkeys, the mimics of the vegetable
world, in odor as well as form and
tint. No other flower resembles an or
child, but orchids are forever aping
butterflies, pansies, roots, spiders, pitch
plants, birds and what not. And they
are not absolutely certain to look just
the same twice in succession.

Curious Courtship,

In the strange land OF the Tarascan
Indians in Mexico the visitor, after at
tanning something of a friendly foot
ing, may still witness some Of the
equally strange practices which the
first Spaniards observed. In courttng
the lover goes to the well where his be-
loved is accustomed to fill her water
jar. He holds her shawl until she ac-
cepts him, and then with a stick he
breaks the jar which she holds on her
head and gives her a betrothal baptism
Of water.

Match Your Pen.

Pep is a slang word invented to con-
vey the idea of those who Sre always
up and about, who are full Of ginger y
who never go to sleep at the switch.
When you are full Of pep you can go
a long way toward doing almost any
thing. But pep runs out. If your
stomach goes back on you because you
don't know how to take care Of it; if
you consOrt with weak minded people,
taking on the color of their weak
mindedness; if you burn the candle at
both ends, then your pep runs low.
Watch your pep.-Life.
