There is all the beautiful symbolism
of the original stars and stripes III this
design, with the added ilca-unity,
strength, and, consequently, safety.
The forty-three States are gathered
under the protecting shield Of the
Union. Closely viewed they can be
distinguished as clearly-cqt Individual
stars, siguifying that within the shield
of the Union they represent sovereign
States; but viewed from afar they re-
solve themselves into a shield studded
with stars eInblcmatic of shelter, in
vulnerability and peace, an invitation
to the oppressed, an assurance Of pro-
lection to the weak and a Joy and q
blessing TO the industrious and well-be-
haved.
There is nothing belligerent about
this design, but with the shield there
always goes the suggestion Of the sword
and buckler, if need be, for the main
tenancc Of the right. The shield Of
stars wherever it was known, on its
field Of blue, would blazon to the world
the American sentiment Of: millions
for defense, but not a picayune for trib-
ute"
Besides its syn bolic merits the shield
admits Of such infinite varia, lions,
while retaining its unmistakable char
actcr, that no future expansion Of the
Union can strain its form out Of artistic
and significant proportions. When
Wyoming and Arizona come into the
constellation Of States we can have:

WHAT a VOICE CAUSED.
The True story OF How President Har-
rison Won His Wife.

Editing the river column Of daily in

banks OF the Ohio is a genial old gen

a Iudicr0us incident would have cut
President Harrison out OF his wife.
Ihaddaus COnaut is the name Of him
who got left in the race for the hand Of
Miss Caroline Scott, and IL all came
about in this way:
IL the country Just back of Cincinnati
there used 70 be a school for boys kept
bv a fathcrly minister named Scott. As
an accrEu0darion he sometimes board
cd those boys who lived elsewhere,
and among his pupils who lived in
the house were Harrison and COnant.
Like every other boy in the school
these two lads succumbed 70 the
charms Of pretty Carrie Scott the six
tcgn-year-Old daughter OF the school
teacher Very soon the contest for
Miss Scotr's favor was narrowed down
10 Harrison and Conant, with post odds
slightly on the latter. Harrison was
dangerous rival however. He spent
much time indoors and around his
charmer. Conant was boyish and spent
more time on the playground than at
his books. When he did talk 70 his
sweetheart he made good use Of his
time. for by the close Of the session it
was openly Diseased in the school how
Thad Conant had become the choice Of
the principals daughter.
There also boarded IN the house a
youngster named Torian, and he was
the cause Of all the trouble. Torian was

But why multiply examples? Enough
have been given to show that, although
the States Of our Union were 70 multi
ply like the stars Of the heavens, the
shield arrangement has elasticity TO re-
ceiye them all within its emblematic
form, preserving the distinctiveness of
each, and with each added star increas-
ing the power of the massed effect of the
whole.
Moreover, the reader should bear in
mind that the mathematical stiffness
which marks the shield as represented
in this article is inseparable from its
production in common type, and would
disappear entirely in the collocation of
the stars in the same design by an artist
in bunting.

Marie Antoinette Nathalie Pollard, a
Virginia woman who has become well
known in the South and on the Pacific
slope, intends TO apply for seat in the
Consolidated Stock Exchange, says the
New York Press. Several brokers have
told her that they can sec no reason why

managers act favorably on Mrs. Pollard's 5
application she will probably be the
first woman in the world to become a
member of q stock exchange. She spec
ulated in California mining stocks a few
years ago and says she made $40, 900.
''Do you know that there are between
500 and 400 women who speculate in Wall
street?" asked Mrs. Pollard the other
day as she sat in her attractively fitted
up office. "It may surprise you, but it
is fact. They are successful, too, and
make as much money as the men. We
ladies are quiet about what we do.
Many lady spectators have husbands
who object 10 their speculating. And it
is their own money that they use; they

Symbolic National rag.
From Robert Allen Campbell's valu-
able work, entitled "Our Flag, or the
Evolution of the Stars and Stripes, we
learn that there has never been any ac-
ton of Congress 10 determine in what
manner the stars should be arranged
in the union. In the original stars and
stripessof 1777 twelve stars encircled one
large one in the center Of the blue union.
In isis Congress fixed the horizontal
stripes alternate red and white at thir-
teen, and the white stars in the blue
union at twenty, TO represent the num-
Der OF States then in existence, and
provided for the addition Of one star
for each new State on the Fourth of
July next succeeding its admission.
The first Official flag displayed over
the House Of Representatives after the
passage Of this act had the stars ar
ranged 50 as 70 form a large five
pointed star, concentric with the union,
and some like arrangement has often
been attempted since, but with indiffer-
ent success, owing 70 the arbitrary char
acter OF the star design.
g II is time now, however, says America,
a patriotic Chicago periodical, that the
disposition Of the stars in the union was
determined by something more worthy
of National respect than the whim or
the fancy of the incapablcs Of the Navy
Department. There are many forms in
which a group OF forty-three or more
stars may be arranged with dignity and
effectiveness. OF these, none appears
to be more available than that of the
heraldic shield suggested in the accom-
panying diagram:

People who have visited the wonderful
region surrounding Puget Sound can not
find language to express the delight they
have felt in gazing upon the varied
beauties of scenery there spread before
them. There can be no satisfaction in a
mere description, and the best works Of
famous artists fade into insignl6cance
before the magnificent reality. Not
alone is the region rich in all that makes
it fair to look upon, but as well in its
wondrous resources, awaiting the appli-

for the benefit of mankind. The Puget
