She was very happy when she put the hat on her bright head. She failed to notice Mrs. Fink's rather odd little smile.
 The hat made her brave enough to go to the church alone.
 More than one person looked ad- miringly at her slender young figure as she passed.
 When she entered in at the portal of the stately church she had an air of having just stepped from one of the stately automobiles that were constant seemed to belong to that particular automobile which had silver Orna- ment on its radiator cap, rather than the stout old lady who had to be as- sisted down the step.
 It was wonderful wedding, all that wedding should be-lovely flowers, music, perfume, pretty clothes, ex- guisite bride and six bridesmaids looking like bouquet of spring blos- sons. Ruth herself had been married in the front parlor of her parents small house far away and her mother had made the wedding cake. But she knew nevertheless what it was to take the vows of wifehood. Her heart beat fast and tears dmmed her blue eyes as she listened. She wished Andrew was with her. And she forgot her borrowed hat.
 The sunshine was gone by the time she left the church. She hadn't gone two blocks before the first raindrOp Spattered down. Automobiles dashed past But Ruth had no money for. taxi hire even if there had been a taxi in sight.
 Faster and faster fell the ralndrops.
 Faster and faster sped Ruth toward the safe shelter of Mrs. Fink's
 Folks on the sidewalks, at windows became aware of flying figure in drenched blue crepe. bareheaded, hold ing a too large hat under futterins rag which had been chiffon flounce.
 White. wet to the skin, breathless between haste and anxiety, Ruth at last came to Mrs. Fink's. Mrs. Fink was lying down. But she sat up quick ly enough as Ruth burst in.
 Good gracious. Ain'l rainng?" ex- claimed Mrs. Fink. Then she began to laugh. "I got that hat on trial,' she said. "I knew one of the sales girls at Hawtrey's. I told them I wanted to keep 1t until my husband could see it. Tom couldn't tell French hat from one I'd made myself. I was going to wear it to the wedding and take it back. And now'-she paused significantly.
 "Of course I'll pay for It," said Ruth.
 Her call was not pleasant.
 She was obliged to stay at Mrs. Finks until the storm ceased.
 Then she stole home-tO count up her available cash. Meanwhile Mrs. Fink promised to telephone to Haw- trey's.
 The hat was more expensive than Ruth had dreamed. She had to ap- peal to Andrew. Andrew had to Dor. row from Fink who said shortly that he didn't see how women showed so little Judgment in buying clothing-he was sure his wife was always beauti- fully dressed on very moderate cost. Andrew knew what Ruth had just told him. But he kept silent. Mrs. Fink was ever after extremely cold to Ruth.
 Not long after the Finks got into little difficulty through Mrs. Finks methods of buying. They left town Andrew got Finks job. which brought in more money than his own. But in spite of their added good fortune Ruth was even more conservative and thrif- ty than she had been before. That much she had learned from Inez Fink

little way from IN. 1t didn't seem
possible that sh lad had time to
go way over to the edge of the Old
Orchard and return, yet there she
was. This time he kept his tongue
still. 1t was hard to do, but he did it.
1t fairly ached with the questions
he wanted to ask, but he kept it
still. He just sat still and watched.
Presently, loaded with all the nectar
and pollen for bee bread that she
could carry, Busy Bee rose somewhat
heavily, circled as usual and flew
straight away With such a load
she would take the shortest way home.
OF course, any one in her place would.
That is they would if they knew the
shortest way home and were not con-
fused. Busy Bee had headed straight
for the Green Forest instead of toward
Farmer Browns and the row of hives
on the edge of the Old Orchard
II wonder if when she returns this
time she will admit that she didn't
go straight home from here. I guess
she'll have to-" thought Peter.
But Busy Bee did nothing of the
kind. She denied that she had not
flown straight home, declaring that
she had too much work to do to
waste time in getting home. She
was quite angry over having her word
doubted. Do you wonder that Peter
was puzzled?

Natures Children
Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica) i.
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

NH IMosA is a Greek word mean
M ing a mimic. This is, of
course, because the plant has
4 the strange habit Of being
80 sensitive to your touch that the
leaves Just close right up as If in
PRAYER, and remain so for some time.
This is also known as the humble
plant, because of its great modesty
when handled, trying so hard to escape
your attention further by becoming
r what perhaps 1t is intended to be,
uninteresting.
Most of the members of the tribe
belong in tropical countries. They
fold their leaves for the evening, thus
conserving all the moisture they can.
Some of the shrubs grow to be sew
eral feet high and are cultivated be-
cause of their feathery foliage. which
, has the desired tropical effect so
dear to those who live away from 1t.
The branches are erect and hairy.
There are spines along the stems.
The leaves have long stems and each
leafiet hugs the stem close. When
touched. they fit over each other and
close as even as tenpins knocked
down in a row.
There are many flowers in globu-
Iar-oblong heads The sunlight Sifts
through them. causing each flower
to appear as If in a rosy haze. The
street lights show them at night as

"Says you. but know better. If
you took home that last load of
whatever it is you get out of flowers
you turned around after you got
started. I saw which way you went
and 1t was straight away from your
home. not toward it." declared Peter.
"You don't know what you are
talking about" buzzed Busy Bee, and
went on about her business.
Peter could get nothing more out
of her so he settled down to watch
her. "I'll see which way she goes
this time" said he to himself II
know I wasn't mistaken before, but
I'll watch Just to make doubly sure"
So Peter watched, and presently
Busy Bee began to spiral upward.
When she was high enough to get
her direction she darted away. Peter
gazed after her. Busy Bee had headed
straight toward Farmer Browns door,
yard Just beyond which on the edge
Of the Old Orchard was row of bee
hives as Peter well knew. Her home
was there in one of those hives just
as he had supposed, and she had made
for it in straight line. But Peter
was sure that on the previous trip she
had started off in the opposite direc-
ton. OF course, that meant that after
she was out Of his sight she had dis
covered her mistake and turned
around. At least this was what Peter
thought. What he couldn't under
stand was why Busy Bee hadn't ad-
mitted this. Why had she so insisted
that she never flies in the wrong
direction?

that is quite enough for most Of us.
The "touchy" leaves are much more
sensitive in the younger plants than
they are in the older ones. Perhaps
the older ones have learned it is not
necessary to be so sensitive. II you
will stand near one of the younger
plants you will see how quickly the
touched leaves fold over each other
when even a bird brushes them
lightly; then how gently and stealthily
they reopen. 1t is as If they were

Statesmen Attend Maytag
Shouting Last Week,

Walfred Pajari, Maytag salesman for
the Vermilion Electric company, along
with other statesmen from various Sec
lions of Minnesota, attended meeting
in Newton, Iowa, last week when the
Maytag factory was visited.
Mr.. Pajari states that the visit was
an eye opener for the larger number of
the statesmen. While there he learned
much of the history of the company
organized in 1898.
They manufacture the Maytag washer
and ironer and today is the largest
manufacturer of washing machines in
the world. The factory covers 1872
acres of floor space and has the third
largest aluminium foundry in existence
with daily melting capacity of 10000
pounds of aluminium.
The grey iron foundry at the plant
has daily melting capacity of 10000
pounds of grey iron. The factory en-
ploys 2, 200 men at present and daily
turns out between 1900 and 1900 Maytag
washers, approximately one every %
seconds
Maytag is the inventor of the swing
ing wringer and the gyrator principle
of washing, from which patents a con-
siderable sum is realized in royalties
from other makers of washers.

Oliver Company WithdralUs
Support of Workers Council

The mining companies of this city
as we'll as all others throughout the
country, have notified their employees
that all recognition from their Employees
Representation Plan had been with
drawn.
This move followed the supreme court
decision upholding the constitutionality
of the Wagner Labor Disputes Act.
Notices to the effect were posted
about the mines of this city this week
on orders received from President Sal
SIGH in Duluth which reads:
Duluth, Minnesota, April 26, 1887.
To the Employees of
Oliver Iron Mining Company:
There has been effective in all of the
plants of the Company Plan of En-
ployee Representation, an organization
through which the employees in each
plant engaged in concerted activities
for the purpose of collective bargaining
or other mutual aid or protection of
employees.
The Company was advised, and be-
lieved, that these Plans as constituted
and as administered were proper and in
conformity with law.
Each of said plans applied to only
such of the employees as may have
chosen freely and of their own volition
to avail themselves of the machinery
thereof for the presentation and ad-
justment of any matter which, in the
opinion of said employees or any group
thereof, required adjustment.

under which decisions it may be held
that certain of the provisions of the
National Labor Relations Act apply to
the existing Plans of Employee Repre-
sentation. To remove any question as
to whether said Plans are in all respects
in conformity with said Act, it is neces-
sary that the Company discontinue any
financial or other support to the exist

any recognition of any representative
elected Hereunder as representative
of the employees. To this end and eff

Co Will not furnish any stenographic
