THE AMERICAN FLAG.
How "a should BE Construs ted to Look

How It should he Con-trus ted to Look
Right and Be Right.
From Wide Awake.
Now, when our dear old stars aud
stripes are being placed over the school
houses the question comes up, "How
many of us know really and truly just
how 10 make the fiag-our country's flag
How many could do IL Alright without a
pattern To go by? How many Of us who
have patriotically made flags just before
a presidential election or for some special
occasion could be sure Of getting the right
proportions II we had only the uncut red,
white and blue bunting before us: ="
These questions were suggested to me
by reading in a Cambridge paper Madame
Gossal,li's experience at Ingans. The old
"admiral" there, as he was called, had n
fleet of row boats. on some of which
floated the American flag, the sight
OF which. wrongly arranged and
varying in the number of the stripes, was
anything but satisfactory to her; and she
undertook the task Of seeing that he had
one made I'm the proper manner. Her
difficulty i'm bringing IL about shall be
told in her words:
Il is with the admiral that have had so
much trouble about the American flag.
Now To us the flag Of the United States is

the blue field and the stripes; but to the
average European il is an extremely COM
plicated affair. He cannot understand
your feelings at seeing n fiag with four
stripes, for example, floating in the breeze
alongside of one with III stripes.

on the subject, and told him how painful
the sight of his flags was Ia me.
For the man always had an even num-
ber of stripes. Think of that ye who were
brought up To reverence the old ii,
aud To love the odd number. the lucky,
not the fatal IL. Then the admiral
suavcly told her he would have the matter
attended To IL she would show him a flag
properly made. She says:
SO one fine summer evening carried
down my bunting, presented tn me before

flagmaker. ! explained the necessity OF
having II stripes beginning and ending
with red, and told him IL he could not put
in all the stars, as the number was chang
ing continually, i, as good American,
would be satisfied with IL, the original
number. Alas! said nothing about the
blue field.
After the flag was completed th. adj
miral called her attention Ia Il floating
from the stern Of a boat, and alas, alas!
There was something the matter with

newspaper man, "and old Judge Wis

in the town of Hardluck. We had fin

seated at the table of Mrs. Edgecuts
clearinghouse, finishing the farewell
dinner.
"Mrs. Edgecut had been very kind and

that day she was more considerate than
ever. On the table reposed cold, boil

as stale. We had cut and hacked al

"GentIomen, ahem ? said Judge Wis

seat he began: To all and singular, the
sherifs, constables and other officers Of
the county aforesaid, greeting: | recog-
nize this ham, and do hereby COM

We have before us a copy of the Chicago
Tribune of June 9th, which is marvel Of
newspaper enterprise, for which copy we
are indebted to Hon. James ID. Butt, of this
county,-ope of the Worlds Fair Commits
sioners. 1t gives biography and portrait
of each of the hundred representatives of
the States. We append the biography of
Mr. Butt, our neighbor. We think the con-
clusion of the biographer that he sis not by
any means a handsome man" must have
been drawn from close inspection of the
newspaper portrait, which by no means
does him Justice. But we give the pen pic
ture:
James ID. Butt comes from the historical
ly interesting town of Harper's Ferry, w.
Va. He is a republican, but is not poll
tician. Mr. Butt early fell in love with the
law, and though now but a young man he
has risen in his profession, and at present
has in his hands the large interests OF
wealthy and important clients. He is the
counsel for the Harper's Ferry Paper COM
pany, and it was through this connection
that he became associated with Alfred
Moore, Chicago lawyer, in scheme to re-
move John Browns old fort to this city.
The paper company owns this property, and
il was to Mr.. Butt that Mr.. Moore was re-
ferred in his attempt to purchase the fort.
1t looks now as if Chicago is to lose this
relic, for Mr. Butt says the option given has
expired an he anticipates that it will fall
into the hands of eastern parties Mr.. Butt
has been one of the most enthusiastic work
ers for the Columbian exposition. TWAS he
who suggested the resolutions adopted by
the legislature of West Virginia favoring
the Garden City for the great event. lie
spent the greater part of last winter at the
capital working like Trojan to assist the
| Chicago delegation to secure the fair Mr..
Butt is rather under medium size and is not
by any means handsome man, but he is
wiry and worker doing the kind OF labor
that counts most.
We also take pleasure in reproducing the
notice of Col. st. Clair, West Virginia's
Democratic Commissioner. More might
have been said Of the Col:
Mr.. Butts colleague is Colonel j. w. st.
Clair, of Fayetteville. In figure and ap-
pearance he is direct opposite of Mr.. Butt.
The latter is dark and small while Colonel
st. Clair is large Of frame and fair, distin'
gushing feature being a beautiful terra Gotta
mustache, of which he is Justly proud as be-
ing the only one of its kind in the world.
The colonel is also lawyer and made him.
self famous in knocking out the Republicans
in the gubernatorial fight between Goif and
} Fleming. Colonel st. Clair is thirty-eight
years old, and is possessed of energy that
will in few years win him great name.
1t was through this unhagging energy that he
secured the volume of evidence and succeed
ed in saving the state and the legislature to
the Democrats. He went down in the mines
, and there, hundreds feet under the GROUND

DIR. Mackenzie describes the church
going habit. of the Scotch HighlanderS in
the early part of this century, and inciden-
tally mentions famous valley in which ii
was customary to hold open air service.
1t was close beside the parish church,
"a most wonderful hollow in the sandy soil,
ed prairie"
1t had complete coat of beautiful inch
long benty grass, and thousand spades
could not have formed a more perfectly
egg-shaped cup, in the bottom of which
was placed the wooden preaching box,
and in front of it long, narrow tables and
benches for the communion.
A few "shuparior pershons" sent before
them stools on which tosit, see, and listen,
but ninety-nine of the hundred of us sat
on the nicely sloping banks all around
the "bed" till we overhowed upon the
level of the erased ground outside.
The "bed" was estimated to hold two
thousand persons seated, and perhaps
three thousand were often gathered to the
services, packed tightly to one another,
as was the fashion at these times.
A more orderly and seriously conduc-
ted congregation am sure has never been
seen anywhere, or young men more polite
to the women. From the shadeless sltua-
ton and the crush, the women were often
thirsty, and | have many times seen them
kindly supplied with a shoeful of water
from the parish well.
We hear of grand public rooms of bad
quality for hearing the speaker, but the
faintest word from the bottom of Fingal's
bed was heard as plainly as in closet.
should be very much surprised if any
one who had ever heard an old Gaelic
psalm floating in the air, from the thuos-
ands of worshippers in this valley, could
forget it in a hundred years. The finest
organ ever made could not in its impres-
siveness equal that solemn sound.
