Fashions in Flowers.

Flowers have not always meant
beauty alone. In the days of the
French revolution to wear or even pos
sess the prescribed fleur-de-lys meant
death. Likewise, after Waterloo and
the fall from power of the Napoleonic
regime, the violet, which had been
chosen as the emblem of the Napol-
cons, was forced to disappear from
public view Yet later, as times
changed, history found the Empress
Eugene wearing the violet on her
breast at bah In the Tuileries to
signify to the world that she had ac-
cepted the hand of Napoleon III.
Nor have the same flowers always
found favor in the eyes of the world.
Some flowers have their fashions, too,
as, for example, the camelia and the
once despised sunflower and marigold.
1t was through Dumas that the waxen
beauty of the camelia came into gen
eral favor, and the re-Raphaelites re-
stored to high place the sunfower and
the marlgold. the mythical goldlower
of the Greeks.--Exchange

mataha, Choctaw Indian chief whose
remains lie underneath. The monu-
ment was erected by his brother chiefs
who were associated with him in a
delegation to Washington in 1924.
Pushmataha was chiefly celebrated
for his unfaltering friendship for the
young American republic, and through
out his life he was able to demonstrate
this friendship in various valuable
ways. During the War of 1912 he
headed the Indians who composed a
portion of Andrew Jackson's army, and
his services in that conflict were so
noteworthy that Jackson granted him
a commission as brigadier general. He
eO-operated with the white authorities
in the removal of the Choetaws from
their original location in the Missis-
sippi country to what was later Indian
territory. He died in 1924 while on a
visit TO Washington in connection
with this removal.

GIRLS CLOSE EYES IN MOVIES
Were Determined for Once to See a
Picture From its Beginning
to Its End.

The last scenes of a film drama were
pickering to their inevitable denoue-
ment. The fight between the hero and
the villain was over, the chasing OF
automobiles had been so far exhaust
ed that there was hardly a character
who hadn't chased or been chased by
every other character.
Suddenly a woIaan in the audience
noticed two nice girls near her whose
eyes were peacefully closed. Her heart
went out TO them In sympathy, for she
assumed that they were blind and that
they went to the movies just to hear
the professor punch the piano, al
though that seemed too awful to be
true.
But when the picture ended and the
lights flashed on, the two girls opened
four perfectly good eyes, looked at
each other and smiled.
