on account she never even got her

Then there was another time when
we was all at the Hotel Soakem on
Lake Muddy and Geo. got to feeling
where all them poor little water spi-
ders and cute little leeches must be
awful lonesome out on that great big
pond. So he decided 1t was our moral
duty to amuse them and made us put
on our bathing suits and go out and
play with them.

looked to me like it had been there a

So l says to Mabel, say Mabel,
amt conner wear my new white serge
suit into that tub, leave us put on
our worst old suits, then If we are
drowned it won't matter so much.
And Mabel says yes dear, that's a
good notion, I'll put on the worst suit
1 have.
WELL naturally after that 1 went
upstairs into our room, No. 13,
and into my suit, which was an old
one of juniors that had outgrown
him. I had every confidence in
what Mabel had said, and confidence
turned out to be right. 1t was
regular confidence game. When I
came down stairs, there was Mabel
in the loveliest red taffeta slipon with
shoes to match her suit and a nerve
to match her parasol frame, which
was steel.
Well of all things. Mabel. I says,
indignant as seven minkS, I thought
you was conner put on your worst

Pipe Steals Its Food.

or ghost flower, Monotropa unifora,
well deserve place in Mother Ma
ture's curiosity shop.
1t is a well established scientific
fact that all food. whether plant or
animal, owes its origin to the ability
of the green leaves to mix water from
the soil and gas from the atmosphere
into nourishing solids or liquids, a.
process called photo -Synthesis, because
it takes place only in the presence of
light.
In the case of the Indian pipe, how.
ever, we seem to have an apparent
exception. writes A. A. Hansen of
Purdue University in Nature Maga-
zine. This strange species is de-
void of green, a requisite in the
photo-synthetic process, and occa-
sionally thrives in such deep shade
as to be almost devoid of light
The truth is that Indian pipe does
not manufacture it's own food as all
selfrespecting plants do. Instead.
the fibrous roots of this chaste de
generate have fallen into tke SIS
graceful habit of either pilferinF the
juices from the roots of selfstu port
ing neighbors. or else they utili7 the
nourishment liberated from TIE de-
composing vegetable matter in which
they live.
Evidence of their low estate is
found in the colorless bracts along the
stem, degenerate relics of the broad,
green leaves of their self.reliant and
harder-working ancestors.
On account of their odd, ghostly
beauty, few people can resist the
temptation to carry a few specimens
home as mementos of the deep wocza.

since even slight handling causes the
frail stems to turn brown and lose
