Flower. unfoId in Four Series

A flower is usually made up of foul different kinds of parts. arranged iT circles, or whorls, one within the other Outermost are the sepals, making III the calyx; they are usually firm anc green. They protect the bud ant steady the opened flower. Next come the petals, making up the cOrOIla they are usually delicate and colOred often fragrant and often making nee tar; they thus attract insect visitors and they are also useful Tn protecting the even more important parts further in.
 The third whorl consists of the red like stamens, whose heads or anthers make the golden yellow fertiIizing dust or pollen. The innermOst parts of the fourth tier are the carpels, which beaI microscopic egg cells. each of which if fertilized, will develop into an em- bryO plant: or, to put it in another way, the carpels bear possible seeds CT OvuIes, which become real seeds when the fertilizing golden dust penetrates into them.

Word blindness has been discovered by school clinics. Two cases have lately been noted in one district. A boy of nearly thirteen years of age, healthy of body and normal of mind in all ordinary respects, can only now. after nine years regular attendance, just read words of two letters. or he comprehends instantly; "offer" floors him. Oddly enough, though in mental arithmetic equal to any boy of his age, this "word blindness ex- tends to the reading of numbers. He will. for instance, read ''2'' and is dumfounded at "122." The difficulty appears to be wholly in a failure to recognize written or printed words or numherS"

meanwhile there was Betty Lane, the prettieSt girl in the gay small-tOwn crowd which included Francesca and Bill and Roger. Oh she must be very firm with Bill, for his own gOod-and hers.
 Arrived at this decision, Francesca quickened her step bit and humIned a gay little tune beneath her breath. Bill was faithful and friendly and ever dependable, but Roger-Oh. Roger was young Lochinvar and Prince Charm ing rolled into one. If only Betty
 "Betty" Rounding a corner Fran cesca pulled up short as she all but catapulted into the object of her not exactly charitable thoughts. Betty Lane! Haven't. seen you in a very dogs age!" She was almOst-nor quite-jealous of this trim little Betty, so attractively gotten up in her+ fail ored suit and smart little neckpiece and cOcky yellow felt turban, but not for worlds would she have betrayed a sign of so base an emotion. Run oyer and see me, dear.'
 Betty nodded, he" brown eyes mys- teriously radiant. "I wili,;, Frankie and when do-Oh, can't tell you yet. but Tm-Pm going to have glOri ous news. You'll see!" The words fairly bubbled forth and then Betty, all unconscious of the havoc she had wrought, swung gayly by.
 Something to tell me-something glorious-that means, oh. no! Betty and Roger! Why-why, I was worry ing about sparing Bill and now he's all I've got left!"
 The Bill that Francesca found that evening when she came downstairs was Bill who acted precisely as nervous lovers since time immemeriaI have been supposed to act-walking jerkily about the room and examining pie lures and books and various objects with unseeing eyes.
 With a start he gathered his wits together at her entrance.
 ''It's-it's a wonderful night, Frank Just wonderful. Moon and all y0l knOw."
 "Yes?" encouraged iSrnHcesca rv' so sweetly, seating herself remotely in a corner.
 "I-I-hang it, Frank, I've got to get 1t over with" Bill helped himself 10 chair opposite and, looking quite miserable, paused in what he was say ing. Then he braced himself and plunged. We've known each other for years and years and years and-''

 "Well, I've always thought, Frank, it would be you and I, but-well, it isn't! Pve gone and gotten engaged to another girl and-and, doggone it, love her!"
 Francesca rose slowly, not so much in dismay as in utter perplexity. Bill, her property, engaged to another girl? Good heavens, and she had been wor- rying about sparing his feelings! And was this the way it felt when some body turned you down-the way she supposed her victims of the past had felt-yes, as she had expected Bill himself would feel this very evening? Well, she was merely being paid in her own coin. It was up to her to be sporting, as Roger, Betty's Roger,

 "KnOw2 Why who should it be but Betty Lane2" Bills tone was rap turOus.
 "But-but-" the girls heart was pounding.
 ''She told me little while ago that she almost let the cat out of the bag this afternoon and would have only well, she knew I was coming tonight to tell you mygelf"
 You're in luck and she's darling" and there was no dOubting the enthu- siasm in Francesca's voice.
 But several nights later, as. In the arms of Roger, Francesca told the whole story, she finished with a vow that was solemn if brief. "Never again for me- Roger! I'm through with fiirt- ing"
 Thank heaven" said Roger fervent- ly. "It's a promise I'll see you keep"

Sparing Bills
 Girl
By H. LOUIS RAYBoLD

 Francesca - pretty, scatter-brained, hirtatious Francesca-was honest-to- goodness worried. So worried was she that her usually blithe step Jagged as she walked hOmeward through the bracing, crisp autumn air, and her fair brow was puckered in three fret full wrinkles. How under the sun was she going to get rid of poor old Bill?
 You see, Bill Thorpe was the very first one of Francesca's victims-and there had been many-to cause her so much as the tiniest twinge of regret. Perhaps this was because she had known him since kindergarten days, or perhaps 1t was because she had, figura- lively speaking, walked over his pros trate body with 8 more heartleSS, rOughshod tread even than usual. pre- suming on his good nature. How ever that may be, the fact remains that Francesca was experiencing very real desire to spare Bill the pain she felt she was going to occasion him when he came to see her that night.
 May l run up this evening, Fran?" he had telephOned her. Il have some thing that's-well, something l want to tell you" And even over the cOldly impersOnal wire his voice had rung strangely vibrant. It had come at last!
 Now, between you and me, deep down under her genuine concern for Bill, Francesca harbOred a motive other than aItruism in breaking de- flnitely with Bill. For how could she expect. as long as he hung around her ikea faithful watchdog, alert to fetch and carry, that Roger Benedict would propose? Roger was not the sort of man to interfere with a rival.

HERE'S A DEMOCRAT
AS OCALA. STAR SEES 1T.

Some time ago The News, very in
nocently, asked several gentlemen Of
the press supposed to be versed in
political doctrines of all PARTIES,
what, to their mind, constituted the
principles which the state executive
committee adjured electors to cuddle
before they pushed ballot in the
box. After some fencing Editor Ben
jamin, of The Ocala Star, has come
out into the open. He says:
eve suppose the state committee
meant what it said by it's resolution.
We don't pay much attention to the
state committees resolutions. The
last honest and courageous resolution
we remember its making was the one
repudiated by the combinatio nof So
cialists, prohibitionists, republicans,
bigots and misguided democrats who
elected Cats in 1916. Since then the
state committee has had better sense
than to make a resolution with any
character in it. The principles. Of
democracy as We, understand them
are representative government and
government, for government only,
white supremacy, state rights, total
separation of church and state, al
ways support the nominee and to the
victor belong the spells. Now, then,
