why the wife should Know All About Her
husbands Financial Condition.
Very few men have the time or the
patience to make a shilling go as far as
it can-women have. Especially a
woman whose one thought is to save
her husband from having greater bur
dens than he can bear; to help him by
that quiet carefulness in money matters
which alone gives an easy mind and a
real enjoyment Of life; to take care of
the pennies, in short, that he may have
the pounds FREQ for all his lawful needs
and lawful pleasures too. Surely
there can be no sharper pang TO low
ing wife than TO see her husband stag
gering under the weight Of family life;
worked almoSt to death in order to
dodge the "wolf at the door," ioyless
in the present, terrified Mt the future;
and yet all this might have been
averted il the wife had only known the
value and use Of money, and been able
10 keep what her husband earned; to
"cut her coat according TO her cloth, ="
for any income is limited unless you
can teach yourself to live within Il; TO
waste not" and therefore to want
not" But this is not always the
woman's fault. Many men insist
blindly on n style Of living which
their means will not allow; and many
a wife has been cruelty blamed for liv-
ing at n rate Of expenditure unwar-
ranted by her husbands means, and
which his pecuniary condition made
absolutely dishonest, had she known
IL. But she did not know it, he being
too careless or too cOwardly TO tell her,
and she had not the sense to inquire or
to find out. Every mistress Of a house
hold-especially every mother-ought
to find out what the family income is,
and where it comes from, and thereby
prevent all needless extravaganza.
Half the miserable or disgraceful bank
ruptcies never would happen il the
wives had the sense and COURAGE to
stand firm and insist on knowing
enough about the family income to ex-
pend it proportionately; to restrain,
as every wife should, n too lavish hus-
band; or, failing that, to stop herself
out Of all luxuries which she can not
rightcously afford. Above all, TO bring
up her children in tender carefulness
that refuses to mulct "the governor"
out Of one unnecessary halfpenny, or
to waste the money he works so hard
for in their own thoughtless amuse-
ments.-By the AuthOr Of John Haiifar,
Gentleman, iH Contemporary RcUieD.

rhE nArlon,s FLAG.
story Of the Adoption Of the Bcadtifui Dc
Sign Now In Use.


sign Now In Use.
The stars and stripes Of thc present
design, adopted in 1918, were first
hoisted over the hall Of The House Of
Representatives. on the 18th Of April,
1878, at two p inl Preti6us to the
adoption OF the present flag by
Congress the number of stripes in the
old flag had been Increased to eighteen,
according to the number of States adj
mitted into the Union. thus destroying
the beauty and perspicuity of The flag;
and while this order was preserved in
some, others contained but nine stripes,
as fancy dictated. On the admission
of Indiana into the Union In 1916, MIR.
Peter II, Wendover, of New York,
offered resolution "that a committee
be appointed to inquire into the expe-
dicncy OF altering the flag of the United
States" A committee was appointed,
who reported bill on the "a of Jan
uary, 1917, but IL was not acted upon.
| While the committee had the matter
under consideration, Mr. Wendover
called on Captain Reid, who was in
Washington AT The time. and requested
him TO form design of our flag, so as
to represent the increase of the
States without destroying its
distinctive character, as the COM
mittee were about TO increase the
stars and stripes to the whole number
of States. Captain Reid recommended
that the stripes be reduced to the orig
inal number Of thirteen States, aud to
form the number of stars representing
the whole number of States into one
great star in the Union, adding one
star for every new State, thus giving
the significant meaning to the flag,
symbolically expressive of "E piNribUs
Unum." This design of Captain Reid's
was adopted in committee, but the bill
did not pass until the next Congress,
in 1918. The President on the 4th of
April, 1918, signed "bill to establish
the flag of the United States Cap
tain Reid, who commanded the pri-
vateer General Armstrong in the war
of 1912, had flag of the new pattern
made at his house in New York by his
wife, assisted by n number of young
ladies. When completed he sent il to
Washington, where il arrived on the
18th of April and was hoistcd that
afternoon to replace damaged flag
then flying. One of Captain Reid's
daughters is the wife of the eloquent
Irish-born poet, John Savage, now a
Judge in New York. Captain Reid's
son, who now resides In Washington,
had bill passed a year or two since,
recompensing his gallant fathers SER

About Those Bogus Bonds.
From the Palatka (Fla.) Neaos.

from tte Fdtdthd ~ td.t NetoS.
Knowing that Maj. Teasdale, President
of the City Council. was in position to
know as much about the bogus bonds, the
City Council for payment, Tuesday eve
ming last, as any man in tue community,
a representative of the News called on
him Yesterday morning TO learn the true
facts in the case, as ar as within his
knowledge, that the same might be pub
lished for the benefit of the city tax pay
ers and the general public.
The Major says he Is not ready to talk
as freely now ABOUT the matter as when
certain parties now absent from the city
shall have returned; that he has already
said all that he deems necessary for the
present.
Alderman Boyd, too, is of the opinion
that the toen President OF the Council,
Joseph II. Mann, did not sign the coupons
presented TO the Council Tuesday evening
for payment-that the signature was not
Mr.. Mann's at all.
Alderman Forward kindly permitted
our reporter 10 examine certain official
documents relative to the signatures i'll
question, which, as he says, is perhaps
good enough as far as it goes, but doubts
that 1t goes far enough to prove the bonds
genuine.
Alderman Purcell says he can put his
hands on certain memoranda which he
believes will throw more or less light on
the bonds and where they originated.
An examination OF the signatures on
the coupons will show that of the Clerk,
Cook Carleton, to be genuine, but that
which should be Joseph IL. Mann, Pres-
dent of the Council, is only a lot of marks
which do not mean any hing, and certain
~ cannot be twisted into the name OF
Joseph II. Mann.
The payment of these coupons will be
resisted, Collector Neck refuses to rec
Ognize them as genuine, and, should the
owners OF the Certificates of indebted
ness" carry the matter into the courts,
the validity of their claims will be fully
tested
This question is assuming important
proportions, and we shall follow 1t with
the view of ultimately arriving at the
facts. There has been much doubt ex-
pressed hitherto as to the genuineness of
the bonds, and various manGuvering
has been resorted to in order to secure
their recognition by the Council, so that
they might be putin course Of liquidation,
and We are glad that the matter is in a
fair way of coming to an issue in court,
where 1t will be thoroughly Investigated
by competent authorities. There is
question Of the validity OF the bonds.
They are held, at least some OF them, by
respectable and responsible parties, and
it is essential to all interested to know if
the bonds are genuine or not.

The President and the Attorney

From tho Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON, July cit is scarcely
necessary to reiterate that the Pan Elec-
trio disc lOsures had no effect TO shake the
confidence of the President in the integ-
rity of Mr.. Garland. At the same time,
it is an absolute fact that the Preside n {
was much worried and embarrassed, and
his embarrassment was not lessened at
the long delay OF the Attorney General in
taking notice of the structures passed upon
him. Itis said that Mr.. Garland did not
dent Until it was intimatRd TO
When thp subject was finally brougbtup
it was discussed at length between then
and II Was The decided opinion Of the
President that a statement should be pre-
pared, aEhongh Mr.. GarlanG han re-
peatedly said previously that he proposed
TO treat the attacks upon him with silent
contempt. Mr.. Garland said to the Presi-
dent that if it would relieve him of any
annoyance or embarrassment he would
give him MS resignation. The President,
in reply to this verbal tender OF reelgna-
ton, said little that was decisive.
There is, however, the best reason for
the belief that had Mr.. Garland at this
time or subsequently sent his written res
lgnation TO the President, it would have
been accepted. Ana in all the intervening
time up TO now the same can he said. The
President will, in all probability, not as k
for the resignation, and not intimate even
tuat he would like 1t, but, nevertheless, It
would be positive comfort for him to
have the opportunity 10 nominate a new
Attorney General.

From, the Monticello (Fla.) Constitution.
Early last Sunday morning negro man
named Simeon Hodge made his appear

Haddock, n white girl aged about 16
years. They were riding in a buggy, and
a trunk was attached thereto. They re-
manned only few minutes, the man tell
ing Anthony Clay, in response to his in
quiry as to what be was doing with the
White girl, that her mother had engaged
him to carry her away, "a she had been
indiscreet, and that he was then en- route
to Tallahassee. The journey was con-
tinued IN TINT direction, and about n Don

recover his fathers horse }, going towards

A mad bull belonging to negro, Green

travel. Az parties coming TO town had
to take through the fields with their vehi-
Giles. Quite "A number of negroes gather
ed, but were afraid to kill the animal, as
they superstitlously thought that the one
who killed min would become mad. The
animal was charging and raging up and
down, biting, believing and making
things scatter generally. He whipped out
all the negroes, dogs, hogs and cows. and
then beloved for other worlds to conquer.
Several white men who hanked the ami

town and could hardly be restrained from
returning to the scene, catching him by
the tail and beating him to death against
the fence. Tue pull, at last accounts, was
still mest.r~Qt the situation.
