How Do You Show You Love Flowers?

'Almost every one, junior or grown-up, likes flowers, but different people show their love and appreciation of flowers in different ways. Some people wish to pick every flower they see, and often it happens that the flowers are dropped along the way or wither by being carried a long distance

held tightly in the hand, or some

times they are laid down on a tree stump, or on the porch while visiting, or on the school desk, where they are left too long without water, and they wither. Does

this show a very sensible love of

flowers? Or, is the love and delight of flowers shown to a finer degree when we can step into the woods and look at the carpet of spring beauties nodding brightly 'In their pink and white dresses and not rush at once to pick them, wanting to pick every one we see, and as a result trampling down many so they do not come up again, and .having such a large bouquet that we scatter them all along the

road on the way home, withered and colorless. The next visitor to the wood then misses much of the beauty to which we responded so gladly. The same Is true of our own gardens. It pleases us to have some flowers In our homes: they brighten

and add color to the rooms, but often small bouquets may be much more artistically arranged than the larger ones and we may leave

many flowers in our lawns and yards out in the air and alive

where they probably like most to be, and where a greater number of

people can enjoy their nodding beauty and color.

The Yellow Queen CHAPTER II The Masked Man took Jane to the cabin and tied her. Then he told Jim, one df his gang, to go over by the purple sage and be on the lookout for any one who might appear. He went to town to see If Shorty, the young boy that got work at the oil fields, was there. He wasn't at town, so he went to the Yellow Queen to see if he was there. When he got there. Shorty was eating his supper. He told him he wanted to see him on business. He told him to meet hira -at Moonlit saloon at 10 o'clock that night. Shorty went to town at 7 o'clock that evaning. He lived at the North Bend hotel. He started to read a book and soon forgot what time it was, when he heard someone knocking at the door. When he went there, there was the colored porter of the hotel. He said, "They Is somebody at the saloon 'at wants to see you-all."

CHAPTER III The colored man told Shorty that someone wanted him. Shorty went .to the saloon. The Masked Man 'fold him that he had a gang that he the gang to help the boys of the wanted to be in. He said they had Yellow Queen when they got ..into troubles or were sick. Then Shorty said, "The manager of the fields has taken me to a club that helps the boys, and I am satisfied. I joined it just lately."

' The Masked Man looked funnyS

when he said that. Then he said, "Why don't you join the other boys in my gang; they all said that they wanted you." "I would," said Shorty, "but I have to be loyal to the one I have already joined." "Then you won't join our gang, Shorty?" "No, I just can't." "Well, then, if you can't Join, what time are you going back to the fields?" . "Oh, about- three-thirty in the morning." "All right, good-bye."

Shorty went baefc to his room in the hotel, and went to bed. While he was in bed, he wondered why he wanted to know what time he was going to the fields. Why did he wamt to know - the time he was going to the fields? (To Re Continued.) Virginia Rogers, 7A, Junior High school.

One evening Bobby and his father were standing at the front gate talking, when a dusty, redfaced little fat man came trudging

along the road with a white goat dragging at his heels. He was a

queer looking figure and he seemed to be very much worried as he

came up to them.

"Mister,' said he. to Mr. Sanders,

"could you told me where I should get such a Job yet?" "I don't know of any place," said Mr. Sanders. "Where are you from? What country are you?" , "I been a Switzer," said the man. "1 got no money, no Job, no anything, only this one dumb-headed goat." Mr. Sanders smiled as he looked from the man to the goat, both of them woe-begone tramps. "Rather queer," he said, "to be tramping around the country with a goat. Where did you get it?" "That should be all of my troub

les, yet," said the mournfully. "When I start from Switzerland I have more as two hundred goats

what I have bought for a partnerships to a man for a goat farm back there about four hours' walk. I have such a wrecks by my ship and I lose me all but this one dumb-headed goat. Well, I have

my- ticket by the railroad to where this man should have the goats. I promise him some goats, I got one left, I came all the way von New York und take it to him and what you think? He won!t have any. Because I don't bring him the more as two hundred goats what V promise, he won't take even this one dumb-head,' 'and he scowled at the poor goat at his heels as if it had been the cause of all his woe. "How much will you take for your goat?'' suddenly broke in Bobby. "Oh, Bobby, boy, you don't want another goat?' objected his father. "You got the place overrun now." "Oh, but, father, I want a team," said Bobby. "I've been wishing

for one to put on the other side of Billy when ' I'm having them do stunts, besides hitching them up to a cart that I'm making. They will make a fine team." "Don't you think you could find better ways than that to spend your money?" said Mr. Sanders. "I don't think so," said Bobby. "If I can get it at the right price, it's a good investment. How much will you take?' he asked, turning to the man. "I take mo ten dollars," said the man. "Too much," said Bobby. "It's more than I think the goat is worth and more than I care to pay."

"How much then?" asked Bobby. "I don't want to dicker with you or I would have' offered you loss. That is the most I can pay." "Take the goat, yes!" said the man. "It's a dumb-head, anyhow. I belief me." Copyrighted by the Saalfield Publishing Co., Akron, O.

Old Ship Models on View in New York

HADING ships, bat

tle ships, and ships used on explora

tions, are now be

ing seen In little,

but very carefully

planned models in the show rooms of the Old World Arts,

Inc., in New York

J City. .These models i were made in the

old world, and but recently arrived in New York. Some of these ships date back to very early times and some are very modern. There is a Viking ship, a Chinese junk, Flemish trader, and many battle ships. One model is a beautiful and rather elaborate Dutch trading ship . of the sixteenth century.

Some have been carved from

blocks of Ivory and some have been carefully put into bottles when the sails were folded and then the masts, fully rigged, were pulled up by one line which was cleverly sealed into the cork. It is said that people looking at these cannot imagine how the masts got through, the neck of the bottle. Building of model ships has interested people for centuries. We are told that carefully made models of shfps and boats have been dug up in Egypt, among them, one model of an Egyptian warship of 2000 B.C. This work must be carefully! done in every detail and men who j

build models of ships, especially for owners of steamship lines, secure from $2,500 to $10,000 for their work, we are told.

Little Message to

Vigorous Juniors About Cleanup Week To the Dear Juniors of Richmond: It is a pleasure to write to you; you are the joy and hope of our city. You have been learning how beauty may be brought to your home, by trees, flowers and pictures. You can make your dwelling attractive, whether it be large or small; whether you are rich or have little. A very elegant mansion, soiled and disorderly, is not a pleasing sight. A very small cottage, clean, with vines at the winlowns, grass nicely mowed, and all

neat, is a comfort to the eyes.

I Mant to talk to you about your back yard. Is it a place you want your friends to see? Or, is it full of tin cans, old boots and all sorts of cast-off rubbish? Could you find your way through it in a dark night? Do you love to sit and read

there in the evening? Now, every back yard may be made a place to delight in. Even a yard without grass, if swept clean, is not bad: Think of what flowers, vinerf and shrubs will do for it! Beautify it! There's also a back yard to your lives, as well as to your homes. Do you keep it clean? Would you be willing for your friends to know how your thoughts would look, if brought to light? Weed your hearts, as well as your homes: let there be no rubbish in them; let clean thoughts only dwell in your minds. I pray the prayer of Tlato of old: "God make thee beautiful within." Your friend, MRS, F. W. STEPHENS, 112 South Seventeenth street. (Kd. Note: Mrs. Srenhfns Is lc.-i.W

of the Clean-up Campaign to take place next week in Richmond. )

The elephant is an important factor in the moder,i tent show, just as he contributed In no small degree to the pageantry of Old Rome and the circus spectacles of Ancient Greece. The John Robinson Circus

supervisor of the grade schools, which is to display its wonders in this city, Friday, Ap.-il 28, announces that it makes a specialty of its

announced trained elephant.
