you and never have l heard of or seen a
brave act by one a our family.
II plainly hear them say something
about brave little blossom, Bald one
yellow spring flower, ''nnd who but one
of our family could be called blossom,
| should like to known
Jack had To admit that this was true,
and after while the tossing Of heads and
the talks of the flowers became 40 bother
some to poor Jack that he jumped UP and
called out to them to stop.
"Never heard such "A noise since bloom
cd" he said. Cant sleep or think with
all this fussing. Now, if you will be quiet
/ will try to find out from the winds just
which flower they are speaking Of.
But first you must promise me not to
bravest flower. You know it can be only
one of you and the others will have to be
quiet"
All the flowers promised, though some
of the very wild ones bobbed about a
good deal before they gave back their
promise.
II was some time before the winds came
low enough for Jack to speak to them and
all the flowers trembled with impationce,
but when at last the winds swept close
to the ground Jack-in-the-Pulplt spoke
uploud:
''Who is the bravest flower ?" he asked /.
And the answer came back, loud and
clear. "Why, little yellow Daffodil, of
course. Who but she could stand the
cold winds? She is Drawer than the early
birds: she fears nothings, but stands
against the winds and even sometimes
a few fakes of snow; she is the bravest
little flower that grows"
All the flowers turned and looked at
Daffodil, and sound very much like
o. came from all of the other flow
ers, but Jack-in-the-Pulpit held up a
warning finger and all was still; but the
looks they cast on poor Daffodil were
much colder than any March wind sho had
ever faced.

each felt sire the wind were speaking
shout them.
Just how they had been brave not one
of them could tell, and Jack-in-the-Pulpit
laughed as he bobbed about, for he could
not think Of thing any one of the spring
flowers had done that could be called
brave.

THE BRAyEST FLOWER.

One night the early spring flowers heard
the winds whispering among the trees
and once in while they could catch word,
which made them ala very anxious to hear
more, for ''How brave she isV' Never
saw such fearless little creature, were
the things they heard.
Jaok-in-the-Pulpit knew 1t was not
about him they were speaking. OF course,
though he was always up bright and early
and called the others so he prickcd up nus
ears and tried to catch the name OF the
brave little flower.

the winds were speaking of her, but all the

SPECIAL ELECTION
 FOR SOCIALISTS

New York, Sept. "A special e1ec- tion will be held here Thursday, Sep tember 16s to decide whether the five socialist assemblymen busted from the New York legislature last Win ter for alleged disIoyalty shall be re- turned with the addition of another member of the same political faith.
 Republican and Democratic leaders in the States lower house have de- reelected, steps will be taken to de- bar them or to expel them again af- ter they have taken their seats. The custer last spring focused on Albany the attention of public leaders of all parties all over the country.
 The five Socialists who were ex- pelled last year are all candidates for reelection. They are August Claes- sons and Louis Waldrnan of Manhat- tan, Samuel A Dewitt and Samuel Orr of the Bronx and Charles Solo, man of Brooklyn Nat Rubin is the Socialist candidate of the 18th Brook lyn district for the seat vacated by the death of Assem- bIyman John Dam ico.
 In each case the Socialists are pros ecuting their campaigns vigorously.
 Efforts have been made by repub- licanS and democrats to agree on fus- ion candidates in opposition to the socialists, or failing this, to have one of these two parties make no nom nations.
 To save their assemblymen from another expulsion if elected, social lsts of the state have announced that they would amend their constitution striking out several of the articles which were cited in the custer pro- ceedfngs of last year as rendering the socialists unfit to sit in the Assembly A referendum vote is to be taken by the party on these proposed changes before the election.
 Two of the provisions of the so. cia1ist constitution which party lead. CTS say will be amended are those prohibiting members from voting for military appropriations and providing that the party may force resignation of it's represen ntative in case he fails to obey their instructions.
