The Tri-Color Over Strasbourg.
IChicago Times


A Paris newspaper prints sensational
paragraph to the effect that the French
nag floats once more over the spires of
Strasbourg. The statement has very
slight foundation in fact Everyone has
heard of the storks that, next to the cathe-
dral, have been for centuries the pride of
the town. These birds, having obtained
their food on the ground, are accustomed
to fly upon the roofs of the highest build.
ings, not even neglecting the most lofty
church spires A dyer succeeded in cap
turing some of these storks, which he pro-
ceeded to ornament in manner that
would give expression to his patriotism
He colored one wing red and the other
blue, leaving the body white. The body
and extended wings resembled a flag, and
represented the three colors on the rench
ensign.
Having colored the birds to his fancy,
he restored them to freedom, when they
at once rose high over the city and settled
on the roofs of the churches. Many of
the old French citizens raised shout of
Joy as they again saw the once familiar
tricolor in the sky. The fury of the Ger.
man authorities was so great that they at
first proposed to shoot the innocent
standard bearers. Before the order was
given, however, they concluded that il
would be better not TO appear to notice
the apparent insult to them, and to trust
