APRIL PUZZLES. 



No. 40.— TERMINAL ELISION. 



An Englishman'^ slowness to "see into" jokes, 



Or the point of a tale, is a proverbial thing, 

 Tho' in other things, sharp as most folks, 



Or the stinger that to the bumblebee clings. 

 A total in hand, runs about this v.-ay: 



J ones met a mosquito that had eaten a cow, 

 And now was vigorously ringing her bell, 



To induce her calf to come to him now. 

 To top out his dinner, -fine papers say. 



The Johnny Bull there rolled up his eyes, 

 And rolled up his sleeves ready for fight. 



And v.'ithout cracking a smile, replies, 

 "You cavrn't expect me to believe that's right.' 



Centralia, Ills. Aspiro. 



No. 41.— CHARADE. 



Primal is defined as strain, 

 Second is human race, quite plain. 

 Final sea vessel large and grand. 

 Showing skilled total, understand? 

 Fresno, Calif. Gentle Annie. 



No. 42.— TRANSPOSITION. 



Grimly and one, with heart 



Devoid of pity 

 Marco, once royal liege 



But now a vile thing 

 Steals thro' the byways of the 



Night-calmed city 

 Armed with a second to destroy 



His King! 



Denver, Colo. Tommy Tucker. 



PRIZES. 



A collection of six cactus plants for first com- 

 plete list. 



A bound book for the next complete list. 



Three six months' subscriptions to Home and 

 Flowers will be given to those sending the 

 tenth, twenty-fifth and fiftieth lists. • 



CHAT. 



Our solvers' list looks better this month, but 

 we hope to see it still larger. 



Nearly all of the January solvers sent com- 

 plete lists, and all start in nearly even for the 

 yearly prize. 



In addition to the prizes offered above we 

 will give a twenty-five cent book of stamps for 

 best anagram on "Home and Flowers," and 

 the same for best square containing the word 

 "Floral." This M'ord can be in any position in 

 the square. Each poser sending only one puzzle 

 in competition. 



Send in your answers as soon as possible after 

 you receive the paper, and avoid being late. 



Aunt Eunice.
