Show Appreciated the "Posle." A pathetic incident occurred In the Waifs' school in Pittsburg. One of the teachers brought a beautiful red rose to school, which, holding up before the scholars, she asked, "Now, children, chil-dren, how many of you know what this is?" Nearly every little one shook his head, to Indicate ignorance. One small boy and a couple of little girls piped out, with great importance, import-ance, "It's a posle. please, ma'am." But no one had ever heard of a rose. Most of the children had never seen one before. The teacher put It in a glass of water to preserve It and when school was dismissed each child was rendered supremely blissful by the gift of a tiny petal. As they filed out of the door, each little walj clutched his treasure tightly in his small hand, while he murmured softly to himself the name, "Pltty woe, plt-ty plt-ty wose." |
