'Ghz Taisy N the old days when the earth was inhabited by fairies and ruled over by the great God Zeus, two lovers met each day by the Spring of Eternal Youth. Their names were Mar- guerite and Petalus. One day as Apollo looked upon the earth he chanced to see the maiden standing by the river alone. He swiftly came to earth and took her to his palace above the clouds. A few minutes later Petalus came to the spring to see Marguerite, but she was gone. He searched for her everywhere, among the trees, along the banks of the stream, and at her home, but he could find her nowhere. Zeus watchedihim and finally came to earth to inquire the cause of his sorrow. When Petalus told him of how Marguerite had disappeared, and how lonely and sad he was, Zeus called the gods together and asked if anyone of them had seen the girl. All but Apollo denied having seen her. Then Zeus asked him where she was. Apollo, because he feared the great God, answered, She is in my palace. Zeus secured Marguerite ian-d took her to Petalus. He said to them, Since Marguerite has entered the heavens she cannot live on the earth as a mortal, but must become immortal. Therefore I will make you into a Hower. Marguerite will be the yellow circle standing for the center and sun of your life. You, Petalus, will be the white petals which surround and protect the center. Your flower will grow near the springs and take from them eternal life and your children will be many and will brighten the heart and life of man by their smiling, happy faces, lifted to him by the thousands in the fields. You will be called the Daisy. Thus was made our daisy, which is called Marguerite in the florist's gardens. GR.NCE PE-rERM,xN, '14, Page Twenty

Tubbs and Hoppers were filled from little, Brooks which ran through the Dale, but no one dared venture in for fear of severe llurns. Jayne saw that this was the Riehl test for George, and bade him search for James, the caretaker of the building. He bade his friends farewell and gave Jayne a Lily, plucked from the VVoodside and entered the burning House. The Gale increased, and he had little hope of escaping with his life. But he soon found the insensible form and draggedhhiin to the window in the Garrett. XVilling hands carried him down the ladder and, just as our hero was clasped in the arms of Jayne, the building fell. George decided that a Knights life was not all he had anticipated so he found a job in Avery promising dairy, and lived happily ever after with the girl of his choice.

Californids Gift E was an easterner, coming to California for the first time. He had heard much of this wonderful state and was ex- pecting great things. When he awoke one morning and knew he was in the land of bliss, a thrill came over him. He stole a glance at the promised land through the window of the Pullman smoker, but that car was filled with a crowd, jostling over the final hurried toilet, so he did not get a real, long, en- raptured look, until he was again seated with his traveling companion, a Californian. He knew that he was expected to rave over the country. The scene lay in the back yards of an ill-kept portion of Los Angeles. It was, indeed, quite a fall from the beautiful views he had seen on penny post-cards. The Californian made the first remark: Now those are eucalyptus trees. He thought, Rather scraggly trees, but they were the best things in sight, so he bugged out his eyes, swallowed his conscience and said, Truly remarkable trees! A wonderfully unique and beautiful leaf! Thus he was ushered into the Golden State. From then on he was sl1ow11 eucalyptus trees at every turn. He admired their size, their majesty, and everything about them except their bark. And still his acquaint-ance grew. He moved into a fur- nished house and found portieres of eucalyptus buds. The weather turned cool. He found that eucalyptus wood would warm him at the nominal cost of S11 per cord. He caught cold. Eucalyptus drops stopped the cough, and eucalyptus oil, used externally, relieved his sore throat and chest. He began to use eucalyptus hair restorer. He tried eucalyptus salve, eucalyptus liniment, and eucalyptus cream. Eucalyptus corn salve eased his weary feet. He washed his hands with eucalyptus soap, and cleansed' his white teeth with eucalyptus tooth powder. He cured all of his various minor ailments with reme- dies from the mighty eucalyptus. He thought he knew every bene- ficial use of the eucalyptus, but the climax was soon capped. It all happened at a Weenie bake. Gallant youths and fair maidens were seated around a tire of roaring eucalyptus branches. The weenies' had gone. The evening was damp. Some, having nothing else to do, feared a cold from the exposure. But a voice ex- calimed, No sir! You -won't take cold. This eucalyptus smoke will cure a cold! By a supreme effort our hero withstood the shock, but never again will he say he knows all of the uses of the eucalyptus. SELWIN SHARP, '13. Page Twenty-one
