The late Paul Armstrong had two
favorite stories. One of these he called
by the title "Pansy and the Pilsener,"
and while it was funny, it would never
do for publication in a newspaper hav-
ing family circulation. The other
was what is known as a parlor story,
1t dealt with down-and-outer, who
made a precarious living as sand
wich man. Encased front and back,
like turtle in its shell, between broad
Doards which bore advertisements for
dairy lunch, he marched the Bowery
all day long for wages barely sufficient
TO keep body and soul together.
One day. as he plodded his weary
route, he saw shining coin lying upon
the sidewalk. Instantly he set his foot
upon it, and then, STOPPING with diff
fculty because of his wooden waist
coat, he clutched it in his eager fin
gers and raised it to his eyes. Then
his heart inside of him gave great
throb of joy. 1t was a twenty-dollar
gold piece. He was wealthy beyond his
widest ambitions.
Across the street was an excavation
for new building. He hurried thither.
Standing on the edge of the digging he
unbuckled the straps which bound the
squares of planking to him, and, kick
ing them to pieces with glad ex-
ultant cry, he flung the shattered EN-
blems of his servitude down into the
h0ln halnu cs+ro ffyht ha do
parted for the nearest saloon, and
stalking in, triumphant figure even in
his Haunting tatters, he slapped his
precious gold piece down upon the bar
and called for a drink of whisky. 1t
was to have been the first of long and
gorgeous succession Of drinks of
whisky.
Someone jostled him in the side. He
turned his head to see who might be
interrupting his happy dreams, and
when he looked back again his double
eagle mysteriously had vanished, and
the barkeeper was motioning him to
depart.
He protested, naturally. Whereupon
the barkeeper reached for the bung
starter, swung it with skill born of
long practice, and struck him squarely
between the eyes. A moment later the
ex-sandwich man found himself sprawl
ing on the sidewalk, his happy visions
gone forever.
A prey to melancholy, filed with deep
disappointment and yet deeper sense
of injustice, he got upon his feet and
started to limp away.
Next door 10 the saloon was base
ment barber shop. From it at this in
slant there emerged Bowery mission
worker, an elderly gentleman of a
benevolent aspect, his pink jowls newly
scraped and his face powdered AS he
climbed up the steps to the level of
the sidewalk this gentleman bent over
to refasten loosened shoelace.
Now, to the best of his knowledge
and belief, the derelict never before
had seen the missionary, but as the lat
ter stopped, presenting before him an
expanse Of black coat tails, the mis-
anthrope hauled off and dealt the gen.
tie stranger terrific kick.
With a yell of establishment and
pain the clergyman landed ten feet
away.
''What did you mean by that?" he
demanded, rubbing the seat Of his
trousers with both hands. why did
you kick me?'
"Oh,' said the ex-sandwich man, In
tones of an uncomfortable annoyance,

A mother whose young daughter
| was not In the best Of health consulted
a doctor. Tho doctor told her there
was no cause Tor alarm, but that the
| child's stomach required food in some.
what different proportions and at diff
ferent times than others. In order to
fill the need 1t was decided to try the
mid.morning meal. Although the child
was in school. 1t was not hard to Be-
cure permission for this little snack.

provement was soon noticed in the lit
tie girls health, and so well did the
plan agree with her that It was kept
UP for some time beyond that actu-
ally prescribed.
Wisdom In Choice.
The mid.morniing or mid-afternoon
meal should be confined to certain
foods that are known to be good eaten
at such times. Other foods should be
definitely barred, and among them all
the heavy foods, such as meats or
rich sweets. There are foods which.
to stimulate rather than spoil the ap-
petite. Fruit juices. grapes. oranges.
pears have such properties. These
pique that appetite rather than salts.
fy 1t, and are an aid rather than
hindrance to digestion. OF course, It
is not recommended that the eating
Of any OF these foods Immediately pre-
cede the mealtime. The foods which
contain much fat are too rich for eat
ing between meals.
When Appetite Is Poor.
If your child seems to lack appetite,
do not worry or contemplate a change
of diet without some investigation.
This investigation might begin with
the cookie jar or in the apple orchard.
Ii Johnny is eating what they have to
offer. 1t is not likely that his appetite
will improve. nor perhaps desirable
that it should until such invasions are
stopped.
Mid.Meal Preparation.
II one wishes to take real pleasure
and put some effort In the preparation
of the mid-meal diet, for . child or
invalid such dishes as 5unket, tapioca
made with fruit and served without
cream. custard, berry juice and crack
ers and other like foods are suitable
and not difficult of preparation. Avoid
giving anything that Is very rich.
sweet or cloying. Dishes Of that kind
will interfere with the appetite at
mealtime.
A cup of beef tea or other broth is
suitable to those whose stomaChs are
weak. Tea or coffee Is not recon-
mended for the mid-meal diet unless
afternoon tea is to take the place of
the mid meal. Milk, hot or cold. is
much better for the child or invalid.

Goldenrod.

~~s~~@AS 90
In Septembers glorious weather is
the time to learn the goldenrods. and
one speaks Of them in the plural be-
cause, with the asters. they are the
most varied of all our wild flowers.
There are no less than 20 kinds grow
ing in the District Of Columbia, and
they invade every sort Of place-the
vacant city lot, the marshy swales
along the Potomac, dry rocks on the
meadows and roadside bitches. To
them we owe much of the dash and
splendor of Autumn in our fields.
The goldenrod is ranked as only a
weed-by the thoughtless-but there
is assuredly a regal beauty in a wav.
ing field Of the yellow heads. II our
finest garden flowers grow in road
side bitches, some people would call
them weeds. -.-.'-
For those who love the untamed in
nature. goldenrod season is one of the
lovellest in the, year. For there is
nothing shy or retiring about this
flower it is never so rare that one
may not pick 1t, nor so finicky that II
will not grow If you care to plant It.
The goldenrod has been proposed as
our national flower. There Is reason
in this. for 1t is q characteristic plant
Of every part Of the country, except
some Of the desert and Western areas.
On the other hand. 1t is but rarely
found outside the United States and
Canada, and so is not, like the rose,
the daisy and other flowers that have
been considered for our floral emblem
something we share much with for
eign countries.
There is a persistent belief that gol
denrod Is the cause of hay fever, but
enlightened doctors and botanists are
skeptical about this. Only wind polli
mated plants cause hay fever. like the
ragweed and plantain, while the gol.
denrod, which has heavy insect-carried
pollen, could not easily give you hay
fever unless you smelled it.
