FLOWER PARADE.
~ MARY @AELlAlMRQ9NslNkR

Here we come" said the crOcuS
flowers in the garden as they peeped
up just after the snow had left the
ground in the early spring.
They were of different colors, pur-
pie, blue, white, yellow and orange,
an& hsw bright and cheerful they did
1pok for Il was still somewhat chilly.
sWe're glad to see YOU said the
fairies, land we know the children
and grownups are too
The fairies always got up very early
In the morning and they welcomed
every flower as it came out. The sun
smiled and beamed too and said:
"Hello flowers how are you? I'll give
you q little warmth"
OF course the sun was so high up
and the flowers so near the ground
that they couldn't talk very well TO
dear old Mr.. Sun, but they were fond
of him for being so good to them and
keeping them fine and warm.
It was not long after this that the
fairies were in this same garden early
one morning when they saw some of
Tue OtneT spring mowers
"Why here are some lovely hya-
cinths." they said. mice purple hya-
cinths and pink ones too-white and
lavender ones as well. How fragrant
you are. dear lovely hyacinths.''
And the hyacinths whispered to the
fairies how they loved the world and
fairies and children and that was the
reason they were SO sweet. They sim
ply couldn't help being anything else.
There were the beautiful, bright tu-
lips, too. How gay and jolly and happy
they were. They were wearing their
brightest colors Some wore dark red
and how handsome they were!
Others Wore bright orange and some
wore yellow. Still others wore beauti
full pink and some wore mixtures of
colors. "We're bright because we're
30 happy" they said
The daffodils. so yellow and cheer
full came along next and the narcissus
flowers We're just as sweet as ever.
Its wonderful to see the different
flowers come out" the fairies said.
Just then a lilac bud burst into
bloom. Hello fairies" it said. And
the other lilacs were out in very few
days after this.
well tell you a story" said the
white lilac bush while the purple and
Persian lilac bushes listened as did the
garden flowers.
"We'G like to hear a story" the
fairies said
You see" said the white lilac bush.
''that we are all a part of the great
Flower Parade"

fairies.

the crocus flowers appear and take
the lead in the parade. They are like
the drum major who leads the process
sion, but instead of tossing a fancy
stick into the afr, they lift up their lit
tie heads and iell the world that
spring has come.
Next follow the hyacinths, the
tulips, daffodils, narcissus flowers, gar
den violets, pansies and little daisies.

German attack on the American posi-

proud place in the history of Amer
lean participation IL the world war.
As further details of the engage
ment become known there are disclos-
ed deeds which are fully in accord
with the finest American traditions.
The correspondent is now permit
ted to tell Of few cases of individual
heroism, which will convey an idea
as to the mettle of the men, one of
them, David Griggs. of East Hamp-
ton, Conn, passed through the enemy
barrage at least seven times to carry
ammunition TO his hard-preSSed COM
rades. Twice he was partly buried
by earth upturned by shells falling
all around him, but he kept at his
task
GriggS, who is nineteen years old,
was So modest that he would not tell
his adventure, but insisted on speak
ing of The bravery of Others. Finally
one of his comrades pointed him out
and said:
THAT is the brayest man in the
regiment"
Raymond A. Ferris, of MedfOrd,
Mass. acting as a courier, was blown
: off the road twice by the conclusion
I Of shells. Although stunned and
nearly crazed by the intensity of the
! gunfire, when he reached the point in
: the rear of the lines to which he was
sent for ammunition he carried out
his orders. Then he asked for a re-
| yolver, saying he wanted to go out
| and fight the Germans, but he tainted
| from exhaustion. When he regainpd
| consciousness his first words were an
| inquiry whether his message had been
| delivered.
Charles Sinkler, a Philadelphia law
yer, who is now with the Red Cross,
| and was in the thick of the fighting,
| told the correspondent of two Ameri
cans who, armed only with automatic
| gun, killed eight Germans and captur-
| ed the gun. 1t is also related that

| icen Germans.

that when she first moved to Mat

Indigestion and constipation. Food
distressed her and there was a feel

her stomach and chest. She did not
rest we'll at night, and felt worn out
a good part of the time. One bottle

this trouble so that she has since felt
