The Insect Legend of the Death
Flower From the Flowery Kingdom

daisy. When it blooms,
the Pollen is waited by
the winds for miles.

detect it in the air, but
it brings death to in

pores through which
they breathe. 1t acts

 However, the greatest accomplish ment has been the securing of the womans Missionary union head quarters for Birmingham. This was done by Birmingham delegates to the convention in Chattanooga.
