The verbena plant was held in the Sreatest veneration by the ancient Romans, who believed that a few leaves of it worn on the person would protect against injury, and Roman brides who gathered" and wore a wreath of verbena were considered fortunate. - The plant came by its name from an old Roman custom. Whenever a dispute was had with another nation an official called verbenerius was sent to discuss it with the offending country, This official wore a wreath of verbena. If'\war was decided upon an firon-tipped ' spear with a sprig of verbena tied to it was shot into enemy territory, as a declaration of war. , The Druids dedicated the verbena to their priestess, gathering it at the full moon. No one was allowed to touch it with the hands. It was up- rooted by being tied to the foot of a young, girl.

"I think it's'So funny' exclaimed Dotty, as she looked over her gar- den, where nodded blue, red, yellow and purple blossoms. "What's so funny?" asked a squeaky voice, and S8queedee, the el- fin from Joyland hopped from among the grasses at her feet. "What seems +30 funny to you, Dotty?" "Why, how all these flowers can grow in the same flower bed and every one of them be dressed in dif- 'erent colored gowns!" replied Dotty, shaking the little elfin's hand. "It loes seem queer, and when you think he color of thé dirt is brown, yom wonder why they. are not all brown )lossoms." , "Well, 1 guess if little folks could answer @ll the questions that come Into their brains they never would be little folks!" laughed Squeedee. "It does seem queer, but déar me, there are so many other things that set us to thinking! First, I'll try and tell | you what makes the color in plants. "The earth is made up of hundreds of different minerals Each and every plant to grow and bloom suc- cessfully must have a certain kind of food. - The certain kind of food or mineral produces a certain cofor. In- stead of eating just any mineral in the earth, each plant seeks the kind | best sulted for its growth and that | mineral food has grains of coloving | matter in it, and if the flower is bet ter made blue than red, it saps up the color proper for it. "But 1t seems so many of them growing in the same spot would not be of so many different colors," laughed Dotty. "Just the way it should be, how- ever!" laughed BSqueedee. "I waen't so and all of them wanted the same mineral for their food, they'd .s0on run out of food color." "Just what I've been telling my neighbor . here," laughed a sweet voice, and a beautiful fairy poked her head out of a bright red rose. "You see, my sister who lives in the white rose castle thinks she'd like to be blue, like the for-get-me-nots. Why, it would be a dreadfully mono- tonous looking world if we were all the same color! 1 think things are Just as they should be, to Make a lovely world." "So do I," laughed Dotty. "I'd much rather you'd all dress different- ly. It looks so beautiful to see the colors all mingled together this way." "Some folks are never content," continued the rose fairy. 'Now, for instance, look at Miss Fern, yonder! First, she wanted flowers, then when she got them she didn't want them and gave them away. Then she grew tired standing still. She found a wishing stone one day and wished she could walk." "And could she?" asked Dotty. "Sure "enough," replied the rose fairy. "'She walks everywhere, but the sad part is she lost the wishing stone and now she never gets a chance to rest. She has to go on walking until the end of time, I 'ues. Well, I never complain! I'm happy just to stand still an oloom a beautiful red rosg, and 1 THE WHEN MEALS HIT BACK '""Pape's Diapepsin" instantly Ends Indigestion, Sourness, 2 Stomach Acidity Are lumps of undigested food caus- ing you pain?

"Indeed you are," replied Dotty, as she flipped the sparkling dew from @ glorious red rose. "Oh, I don't know!" laughed Missy Walking Fern, merrily. "When _I get tired, 1 stop and stick my foot in the ground. There 1 rest until an- other shoot grows "long eéSough to reach out, «then on 1 go--and see what a lovely carpet of green | make. I've made my wish and have to live up to it, go there's no need to grum- ble. I'd make the best of it." Dotty was sorry when mama call- ed her in to lunch, but bidding her posy friends and 8queedee goodby, she ran into the house. In Memory of Captain Dog. The sun shines o'er the autumn fields, ; The woods are bathed in mellow light, And on the fence the clustering pes tempting--an alltiring sight; : A yellow leaf drops slow to earth, While autumn broods in silence here, And all is bright and calm and still As inthe days of yester year. But oh! the sun seems not so bright, The walk along the old farm lane Has lost itg charm, as all alone I wend my wandering way again; For he, that joyed in autumn strolls, And leaped and barked in raptures glee, Lies sleeping in his lowly bed And roams no more the fields with me.
