tumorous Department.
Wanted to Know.?Ho was a new
flagman at a railway crossing in
Maryland, and his hours were from
seven in the morning till seven at
night; but he was instructed not to
leave until the "Limited" express,
which was due at the crossing at two
minutes before seven, had safely passed.
All went well for about a month.
But one night the Limited, had not
passed at 7 o'clock. About ten minutes
after seven the gateman heard it
in the distance, and taking a good
grip on his red lantern, he planted
himself in the middle of the track of
the Limited.
The engineer was trying to make up
lost time, and the train was speeding,
but he brought it to a standstill at the
first wave of the red light. He jumped
off his engine and ran ahead to find
why he was signaled.
"What made you signal?" he demanded.
angrily, seeing no evidence
of danger.
1 "What kept ye?" calmly demanded
' the gateman.
New Way.?A Michigan lumberman
tells a little story to illustrate the unwillingness
of the Irishman generally
to acknowledge his ignorance of any
subject
One day a young Celt applied for
work.
"Cah you raft and boom logs," asked
the lumberman.
"Shure, I can," replied the unemployed,
with cheering promptness.
"Then," said the lumberman, "go up
on the gap above the railroad bridge
and boom all the losrs vou find with
my mark. Any of the raftsmen will
tell you about the mark, the locality
of the gap, and so forth."
The Irishman hesitated a moment,
and then, with an ingenuous smile, he
said:
"Shure I'll be goin' directly, sir. Do
ye boom the logs as we do in the ould
counthry, I <^unno? Is it with a shovel
ye boom 'em, sir, or how?"
Explaining it to the Deacon.?The
Mldville church had a new preacher,
and Deacon Sturgeon was entertaining
him at Sunday dinner. "And so you
saw service in the great European
war?" the deacon asked.
"Yes, I served nearly two years as
chaplin," the preacher replied.
"Get across?"
"Oh, yes. I was in France nearly a
JCIU.
"Well, I don't believe in war," the
deacon declared. "But I suppose you
heard the call of duty and couldn't
hold back."
"Well, I can't say that was it altogether,"
the preacher answered. "There
were several other things to be considered."
"For instance?" demanded the deccom,
who did not shy at questioning.
"Well," and the preacher smiled
quietly, "I went into the army, for one
thing, because I got my pay regularly!"?Kansas
City Star.
His Defense.?Congressman Mapes
of the Grand Rapids, Mich., district,
tells of a certain married man who
was testifying in a burglary case.
"Do I understand you to say," angrily
questioned the judge, "that when
^ou heard a noise you quickly got out
of bed, turned on the light and went to
the head of the stairs?that a burglar
. was at the foot of the stairs, and you
did not see him? Arc you blind?"
"Judge, must I tell the exact truih?"
asked the witness as he mopped his
nersnirintr fnr? xnH hlimhpa fuHmislv
Yes, sir, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth," barked the judge.,
"Well," slowly replied tho man, "my
ivife was in front of me."?Los Angeles
Times.
His Favorite Game Bird.?At dinner
some men were discussing the merits
of different kinds of game birds. One
preferred cunvasback duck, another
woodcock, and still another thought
a quail the most delicious article of
food. The discussion and the dinner
ended at about the same time.
"Now, George," said one of the men
to the waiter at his elbow, "what kind
of game do you like best?"
"Well, suh, to tell the truth, almost
any kind of game suits me, but what
I likes best is an American eagle
served on a silver dollar."
Ashamed of It.?It was the first
day of school and tho teacher was
taking the names of the children,
those of their fathers and the business
of each one. Small Lucy gave her
viii m a n?\i1 Vi n t r\ Vi of fu )m. r Vtoci _
jKiiiic anu uiav ui net taiuvi, ?/-.u
tated and became silent when it came
to his business. Urged by the teacher,
she blushingly said:
"He is Aunt Jane that does the woman's
page and the beauty column of
the Daily News."
Hard to Answer.?Father and mother
were discussing the costumes they
were to wear at a fancy dress ball.
Joan, aged 7, was an interested listener.
"Mother," she said, "can I go as a
milk-maid?''
"No, dear, you're too small."
"But, mummie," pleaded Joan, "1
could go as a condensed milkmaid."
Must Be.?A young man approached
his prospective father-in-law
"Sir," he said, "your daughter has
promised to marry me, and that ma>
be all right. But one has to be careful
these days. I'd like to know?jusl
to be sure?is there any insanitj ir
your family?" The old gentlemar
looked the young man up and down
"I'm afraid there must be," he said.
Handy.?Johnson: "Why do yot
like the stuff that $mith bootlegs?"
Jones: "It has the antidote printct
right on the label."

FLAG OF THE STATE
: (Continued From Page One.)
wide. It took British prizes all over
the Atlantic ocean, and was gloriously
sailed until finally, when some man
other than Gilliand was ,v? command it
was captured by a stronj British force
at sea.
At the battle of Gaines' mill in the ,
War of Secession, tour soldiers, all men
under twenty years of age, were shot
down while bearing the Palmetto flag,
three of them being killed.
And so on, almost without end, tho
story of this flag might run. But there's
not the-time now to tell more. It has
known victory and it has known defeat.
It has known everything except
dishonor. It is all interwoven with the
Interesting, with the fine history of the i
state over which it always has and always
will Wve; N6-longer a token of
an independent republic, but always a
lOKen or lnaepenucncc ui spun., m u.
love for liberty and justice.
