Where MIstIetoe Grows.

In addition to all the many kinds of
oak trees and the naples, mistletoe
grows with persistency and fondness
on the paper mulberry, the persimmon,
locust, ash, gum, sassafras, elm, Usage
orange, pecan, hickory, cherry, pear
and apple trees. In the far west 1t
takes hold of the cedar and the pine
trees, especially the yellow pine lodge
pole pine and Douglas fir. The plant Is
widely distributed by birds, which eat
the whitish-green semitransparent
berries, those birds being mostly mock
ingblrds, cardinals, cedar wax-wings
and sparrows. The robins have some
thing to do with the distribution Of
the seed. The pulp of the berries Is
very sticky, and when they become
overripe they fall from the parent
sprig and stick to some other part of
the tree, thus developing another sprig
Of mistletoe. The department Of agri-
culture considers the mistletoe pest
and has inveighed against II but the
mistletoe still fiourishes.

next thing you hear of me- shall be
on the bloody field and, perhaps, have
fallen with the others"
If Mr.. Bowser expected Mrs. Bow
ser to faint away, or burst into sobs
and tears, he was disappointed. She
took the news very calmly. Indeed,
she rather smiled than grieved as she
said:
II have been wondering for some
time why you didn't go to war. You
are an able-bodied man and ii is really
your duty. When the honor of your
country is at stake, you should be one
of the first to uphold 1t. will gladly
help you get ready"
"Yes, / am going to war and shall
do my best to rout the enemy" sad
Mr.. Bowser, in less enthusiastic
tones. "It's one chance in thousand
that ever return, for i shall ask to be
sent right into the first battle which
takes place."
"Of course you WILL" replied Mrs.
Bowser. "There will be no such thing
as keeping you out of battle. AS for
your being killed, you must run the
risk of that. Won't 1t surprise the
neighbors around here. / can boast
that my husband has gone to war and
that he will kill a terrible number of
the enemy. Are you through with your
dinner? If so, will help you pack"
Eyes, I've got to pack" said Mr..
Bowser, but he was rather slow about
il. Indeed, he did not get up from the
table for about five minutes, and then
he did not rush upstairs.
"About my writing your" said Mr..
Bowser, as he scratched his head. "Of
course, l want to write you as often
as can, but you mustn't expect let
ter every day."
"Oh, no, no, no. If you write me
once in two weeks, shall try and be
patient about It. You will be in bat
tie every day, probably, aud, Of course,
you won't have much time to write.
Tell me in every letter how many of
the enemy you have killed that day.
Now you can be OFF as soon as you
like"
But i was going TO say something
important, and II has gone out of my
mind"
"Never mind. 1t win probably come
back to you after your first battle, and

tie time to get to the depot. wouldn't
have you miss the train for any
thing"
Bowser was not enthusiastic. He
followed Mrs. Bowser downstairs mad
gave her formal kiss, and picked w
the suitcase and walked down to the
gate. When he reached the corner
he left his suitcase against a tele-
graph pole and returned to the house
Mrs. Bowser was still on the front
steps, and she hailed him with:
"You will miss your train II you
don't walk faster than that. What

In an awful way and, OF course you

Mr.. Bowser sat down on the steps
and, when she had brought the hand
kerchlefs, he seemed In no hurry
about going. The cat came up to him
and he stroked her back In an affec-
tionate way and said:
"Of course / must uphold the honor
OF my country, but do love you and
the cat. She seems to realize that
am going away to be fodder for gun
powder"
Eyes, you may be killed." replied
Mrs. Bowser. "but other men will be
killed, too. 1t isn't so very dreadful
to be a war widow"
Mr.. Bowser stood up. He looked all
around. He looked up and down. He
hated to go, but his country called
him. He shook hands with Mrs. Bow
ser, gave her another kiss and was off.
He went up TO the corner again and re-
covered his suitcase and went march.

then came to halt and leaned against
the fence. Half a dozen men who
knew him came along and stopped and
asked him If he was going on a jour
ney. and his reply to each was:

And their exclamation in each case
was:
"Good for you, old mani You are

yourself loose when you get there.

like brave men and you are certainly
mighty brave"
Mr.. Bowser had thoughts as he
leaned against that fence. He thought
of Mrs. Bowser and the cat. He
thought of the good dinners he was
getting every week. He thought of
the grave. He thought of having his
two short legs carried off by a cannon
ball. Slowly-very slowly-he as
sumed an erect position. Slowly

And Mr.. Bowser went upstairs with

and thought and thought and thought

Influenza Has
Taken Toll of Ouer
TWo Million People

fhc London Times medical corre-
spondent says that it seems reasonable
to believe that throughout the world
about six million persons have per-
ished from influenza and pneumonia
during the past three months.
II has been estimated that the war
caused the death of twenty million
persons in four and half years. Thus,
the correspondent points out, influenza
has proved itself FIVE times deadlier
than war because in the same period
at its epidemic rate influenza would
have killd O.000 900.
Never since the Black Death has
such plague swept over the world,
he says, adding that the need of new
survey of public health measures has
never been more forcibly illustrated.
