lo llciiririu' surprise, none of her
new ncIglihoT. paid much attention
to her' and her chicks, at first. She
oon decided that there was a rea
son for this neglect. She made up
Ixr mind that she would have to
make herself heard amid all that up
. roar or the others would never know
be had arrived.
J. ucklly Henrietta had a strong
voice. -She1 ined. it to the utmost.
.?T! ;it wasn't long before a huge
hen in a' pen next her gave her a
hold look and asked: "What are you
here for?". ' ' . '."
."I've tonie q ret the first prize,''
Henrietta Hen" answered calmly. She
had listened carefully to what ra.m
er Green and Johnnie had said to
each other xhfring' the journey from
the farm' and 1 already she knew
something about fairs.
Her new neighbor laughed right in
Henrietta's face." '' ,
"I don't see 'how you can win the
first prize,"' she said with a sniff.
IVi going to get the first prize my
self. There never was another such
fine . faintly at mine." She glanced
proudly at her chicks' as she spoke.
"The best-you can hope for," she
told Henrietta, "is the second pn'ze.
And you'll be lucky if you get the
third."' -.. ! .. . . -
.For once -Henrietta Hen was at
a loss for a retorti
"I don't believe , you Ve. ever been
at a fair, before,"; her new .neighbor
observed, vv, ?'.'
Henrietta admitted faintly that
she hadn't.-- ;
''Last year-1 wpu sscond prize,"
said the '.ojbeo.l'd have had the
first if thq, judges had known their
business." , , ,tv, : vi , . - .
Henrietta' Henibegan to feel very
shaky in her leg.. She. had expected
a different, sort of greeting, when
site ' shoulrf arrive at. the '. fair..- She
had thought', everybody would ex
claim, Hre comes Henrietta Hen I
What ',; fine family , of chicks she
has I And aren't Mrs. Hen's speckles
beautiful?
And there ht. was, with nobody
paying any heed to her,',except the
lofty dame, in the next pi, who
had, said nothing very agreeable.
; "Oh, dear I" sighed Henrietta. "I
wish I'd never left home."
"What's that?" , her neighbor in
quired - in a sharp tone. "You are
not homesick, are you?"
"N-no" said Henrietta. "But I had
expected to win the first prize. And
I don't know what my friends will
say . when I come back .tiome With
out it.! " .,' . , "
'"WtJU. everybody .'can't win it,"
said her. nevy acuuaintance. "Not the

lookedlJenrjetta up and down for
a few; ;inon1e5t,-; while Henrietta
syuirnld uneasily, "Where do you
come Jrom?' She-asked at last.

didn't' understand it at all. So she

"that ' FJarnir-r Green can't be of

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. IRVINO XING.
Saisafrat Wood.. '
In tome parti of the country they
imply fay that it it bid luck to burn
sassafras wood. In other sections
they go more into detail and fy
you must never burn this wood for
if it crack and iputierf in the burn
ing tome one will die. The tassa-
frat wai formerly called saxifru
and thus appear to have become mix
ed up in folk lore with quite another
genus, the genus Mxtiraga, the stone
breaker" of the Koniani. . Ai the
saxifrage commonly grows in rocky
placei forcing lU way trom the in
terftices of the stonct, it was confld
cred by the Romani at a cure for
calculi acting by lympatnetic magic,
Hnth Id the tasatrai and the faxi-
frage medicinal virtue have been
ascribed from time immemorial and
from time immemorial the Mxifrage
ha been considered a mystic plant-
its mvMic qualities have been com
municated alons with its 'near name
to our common sassafras, iormeriy
saxafras. When sassafras is men
tioned in modern folk Jore it may
mean cither sassafras or-saxitrage.
One legend connected with the saxi
frage is that when tnat ratner nazy
Hungarian king, Chalba, after a
great battle with his brother, saw
the field strewn with hi wounded he
was miraculously directed to "try
sassafras" and plucking, great hand
ful of the olant cured 15."W ot lus
men by its application.' To use as
ooit a olant possessed of such
mystic and tberaputic powers as the
saxifrage was naturally accounted
among the ancient as a crime; a
Hpntrnvinc of a eift of the gods and
therefore calculated to bring bad luck
to the destroyer. The beltet tnat tne
cracking and snapping of the wood as
i hums indicates a death comes from
3 natural association of ideas. Every
crack and snap calls attention to the
fact that something is then being de
stroyed which might save a human
life; something tnat tor wain ui
which some one will die. " Thus the
current superstition regarding sassa
fras inherited trom saxiirage.

Parents' Problems
How can a boy of 10 be' encour
aged to give up his play for matters
of greater importance?.
.Only by having it made clear to
him: that the matters in question are
of greater importance. An ' intelli

school ,work is more important than
his play. He should be beginning

important. But" do' not let the

Do Some Trees Have Flowers?
When we think of flowering tres
a picture of a magnolia or a horse
chestnut probably presents itself
because the flowers on these arc of
sufficient ' size , and'; prominence . tD
make themselves noticeable and the
question as to why some, trees have
flowers and others do not naturally
follows. - As a matter of fact the
question itself is in error, for the
teason that all trees have flowers,
though many of them are so incon
spicuous that we fail to see them.
We are accustomed to think of 9
'"flower" as being nothing but the
petals, as in the case of the rose.

THOSE who classify overcoat
-- models have called these big ulsters "great
coats." The men who come to this stove and have
seen ours call them "great coat" for quality
reasons, style reasons, value reasons. Of course
they're great coats they come from great
makers. We've added to their attractiveness by
pricing them at an extra value figure.
pORTY-FIVE dollars is a fair
price to pay for a greatcoat this season any
where. It's a mighty good price to pay for one
here, because it brings you very rare values
very uncommon styles very splendid textures,
tailoring, patterns. Some of the models are in
