The "P" and 20"

"Pique" is a foreign word and may
be taken to mean something unusual
in ones experience. Nevertheless,
pique is very common complaint.
even when people may not know that
they are suffering from it.
In plain English, pique is pride with
bells on it. 1t is that inner, personal
pride which Is so easily wounded, and
vet which doesn't let us know where
we are hurt. It's a sort of internal
bleeding. l suppose the doctors would
say. And it's the thing that makes
everybody sensitive. 1t has it's own
peculiar power over us.
You and l are piqued when some
thing is said or done to injure our
Self-conceit. We are disappointed
when things don't come our way. We
are sad when we meet misfortune. AZ
some other times we are just plain
"stung," and then pique comes along
to make bad matters worse.
We are all more or less piquey-
that is, we'd rather have a bang over
the head than slap in the face. We
are careful about our bodies and the
bumps they may get, but we are more
careful. or sensitive, about our per-
sonalites and the cracks they may re-
ceive. Now that's pique with ''p"
and %"
The people who get along with 9TH
ers in society or business or politics
are the ones who know the power of
pique. They are careful not to wound
the pride of the people with whom
they are dealing. These are the tact
full folks. and, after all. they are mere
ly people who know how to step on
your feet without touching your corns.
You have to deal with all sorts Of
people and just as many kinds have
to deal with you. Beware Of striking
the other person where his or her
sense of pique can be aroused! It's
fatal. 1t would be better to do some.
thing far more serious.
Pique, you see, is the very pitch or
personality. Your hands and feet,
your goods and chattels. may belong to
you. but they are not such intimate
parts of your possessions. It's your
sense Of selfhood, your pride, your
piqueness, which Is important with
you.
It's just as much so with the other
person at the end Of the Golden Rule.
1t won't do to injure his individuality.
1t will make him an enemy more
quickly than anything else. 1t is bad
enough to lose money, but worse to
sacrifice pride.
Just as a feather which stranger
may apply to your ear as a ticker
can offend you more than a cane
which a friend applies to your back.
so an offense to pique is worse than
more severe injury elsewhere.
There are thick-skinned individuals
who are not much affected by pique,
and they are really worse than the
very touchy ones. But most people
are so sensitive that small amount
of pique can start a pain 10 times as
great.
A sfnall-siZed toothache seems worse
than an honest-to-goodness pain else.
where, as you well know. Now, pique
is just like that.

The Towering Spurge.

There is no plant that gives be-
ginners in botany more trouble and
difficulties, and no plant about which
l am asked more often, than the
common Towering spurge.
It's deceptive character, and that
which runs the beginner into so many
snags in identifying it, is the apparent
five pretty white petals prove on
examination, to be appendages OF
strange, sticky, cushion-like glands,
surrounding the flowers.
l say flowers, though it looks like
a single flower. Actually, however, 1t
is a female flower in the center, and
a cluster Of male flowers around it.
Which brings one to the philosophical
but important question Of what a
flower really is. One might answer,
something with petals and a smell.
But reflection shows us that we rec
ogniZe as flowers many things that
have no petals-such as corn in the
+tassel. pussy willows, poinsettias.
Speaking Of poinsettias. few people
realize that we have wild poinsettia
in the District fora, though without
the brilliant scarlet leaves and state
ly stature of the plant of Christmas
time. poinsettias belong to the same
family as Towering spurge-the great
Euphorbia tribe, which, for the most
part, has a milky juice. Our rubber
is made from the juice of a plant of
this family, and not from the bay

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
SHEER BRUTALITY

4
(Hens kept in cities are now oper-
ated on to prevent their cackling).
'Tis but dull and empty life,
Devoid of color, dash or beauty,
To be strutting ROSTERS wife
A patient slave to drudging duty,
To toll among the mows or ricks
A cozy nursery to fashion,
Or scratch the ground, that cheeping
chicks
May have their daily dinner ration.
But seldom can she take a walk,
Her fluffy family behind her,
Without the fear that owl or hawk
Poised far above the trees may find
her
And well she knows that in old age
Her prototype, the household slavey,
Will stuff her form with crumbs and
sage
And serve her up, in her own gravy.
Yet times of pride has she, forsooth
Her daily-so to speak-ovation
When in the bloom OF health and
youth
Is cause for self congratulation.
Her song is neither soft nor sweet
Like wren or robin, thrush or grackle,
But after such a useful feat
She surely has right to cackle.
And now some scientific brute
Devoid of heart, and dead to pity,
Would make this poor drab creature
mute
When she is cooped within city.
That egg is her one single pride
And men could do but i'll without it,
So what is Science to decide
That she shall never brag about it?
