The Fort Worth Gazette says: As the
days go by even the memory of noted
events grows dim, and in the flight of
years less than half century is time
sufficient to render extremely uncertain
a knowledge of things that were deemed
of minor importance. That this is true
is demonstrated by the inability of many
men, even Confederate soldiers. to de-
scribe accurately the flag under which
they fought.
A friend of the Gazette, having seen a
published statement to the effect that
there was uncertainty as to the flag, has
kindly sent, with copy of an autograph
letter of jefferson Davis, two models Of
the flags. The one adopted by the Con-
federate congress as the national flag,
March 8, 1861, had a square field of blue
extending through the upper red stripe
and the white stripe. In this there was
a circle of white stars, as many as the
States of the Confederacy. The third
(bottom) stripe was of red, and ran the
full length of the flag. The model sent
by Mr.. Davis and made by his wife diff
fers from this in that there are 13 stars,
equally distributed over the blue field in
stead of forming circle.
The second is what is known as the
Confederate congress battle flag" 1t is
a plain red flag, with blue stripes extend
ing from corner to corner. These cross
each other in the center, one with seven
and the other with six stars.
Mr.. Davis's letter reads as follows:
-BEAUvoIR, Miss, July q. 1888.
Mrs. s. Lee Kennedy Hillsborough:
-The flag on the right was the one first
adopted by the ConfedeTacy. 1t subse-
quently changed. leaving out the bars. and the
union became, as ] remember, like the battle
flag which you find ON the left. Respectfully
and truly yours, JEFFERSON DAVIS"

An Awkward Mistake which Excited
Railway Traveller.


A man went to a certain railway
station in New Jersey to buy ticket for
a small village named Morrow, where a
station had been opened only few days
previously, says Youths Companion.
"Does this train go to Morrow?" asked
the man, coming up TO the Office in a
great hurry, and pointing to train on
the track with steam up and every indi-
cation of a speedy departure.
"No; it goes to-day, replied the ticket
agent curtly. He thought the man
was trying to be funny" as the say
ing goes.
"But, rejoined the man, who was in
great hurry, docs it go to Morrow to-
day7"
~No, it goes yesterday, the week after
next, " said the agent sarcastically, now
sure that the inquirer was trying to make
