A distinct sensation ran through
the Woodruff school, but the school
master and a group of five boys and
three girls engaged In a very unclass-

room were all unconscious of It. The
geography classes had recited, and
the language work was on. Those
too small for these studies were play

Jinnle Simms, who had been promot

The game was forfeits. Each child
had been encouraged to bring some
sort of weed from the winter fields—
preferably one the seed of which still
clung to the dried receptacles— but
anyhow, a weed. If nay pupil brought
