BRILLIANTLY DECORATED.

indianapolis Was Gay with BHnting, Flags
and vari-Coiorec Lights
Indianapolis seemed to be glad the con-
tinent had birthday. Hundreds of thou
sands of yards of bunting, brilliant with
the red, white and blue of Americas flag,
were festooned on the streets and build
ings. so as to flood the eye with the rich
colors. Lanterns of the same brilliant hues
were strung ON wires stretched on the edge
of the sidewalk for nearly a milo on WASH
ington street The effect, whether by day
or by night, was u brilliant one, but, of
course, was best after tho cloak of night
had made lighted candles gas
and glowing electricity necessary.
The effect was much heightened
by the innumerable flags which extended
from nearly every window along the line
of the parade. Flags huttered from the
tall slaves on the tops of buildings. The
sun shone, contrary to the weather clerks
prediction. and the gIIntin2 colors were all
the more beautiful To one standing at the
State house 'front.' either afternoon OF

The State house was embellished by
Custodian Griffin, with flags streaming
from the windows, and by long festoOns OF
bunting. reaching from floor to roof. The
etreamers were crossed so AS to give an ar
tistic turn t0 the decoration. The ward
was resplendent with bunting wrapped
about the posts. from which suspended
wires for the support of Chinese lanterns.

exceeding the most sanguine expectations
of the people. The police, under Captain

The time appointed for the general rem

the sulky were these words:

Another arrangement was q light boat
made as sort OF a red. white and blue CAN
opy over a bicycler. which was drawn by
three other wheelmen. There were fully
one hundred wheelmen in line and IN each
case their machines were artlstically deco

had passed a given point on Washin ton

HHAT cNRED TIE DOC.

The Idea That He was the Family Pro-
tector DispeIlea His Grief and Misery.
New York Times.
A good moral is to be found in little
story told at a woman's luncheon day
or two ago. The narrator was west
ern woman who came last spring from
n residence of several years in Il western
frontier fort. "When we left" she said,
81 had to part with a faithful dog friend
who had been member of cur family
circle during our entire stay at Fort
-. Wishing him to be we'll placed |
gave him to u friend who lives on a
ranch several miles from the post where
we were. We seut him over only the
night before VIC left, and it was several
weeks before | heard from my friend.
Then she wrote me that Rab--for we
called him that-pined and mourned for
almost fortnight.
He refused to eat until driven to it by
extreme hunger, and then mouthful
or two seemed to satisfy or choke him,
for he would stop at that and stink
away again, his tail between his legs,
an utterly detected canine. When he
had been there nearly two weeks with
no abatement of his misery, one day
my friend prepared an especially appc-
tizing dish Of meat, and by dint of
much coaxing and petting got Rab to
approach it. He shifted it slightly, then
looked up at her with mournful ex-
preston, as if to say, "lt's no use" and
started to sneak Off out of sight, when
an Indian was seen coming toward the
house. Rab never liked Indians, and he
pricked up his ears and elevated his tail
ut this one. Then he sprang forward
and with growls and barkings prevented
the stranger from coming nearer. Seeing
the dog could not be pacitied he turned
after a little and went on without stop
ping.
My friend did not know his errand
but whatever it was, Rab had post
poned it. No sooner had the Indian
vanished quite out of sight than the
dog came bounding back to the house, a
different animal. He leaped excitedly
around my friend, licked her hand and
betrayed every evidence of joy, and
finally ran to the plate of meat he had
just refused and ate every morsel with
keen relish. From that moment his
homesickness vanished. He had found
| something to do-he was the family'S

HE FEARED THE OPAL.
Even Father Mollinger Relieved in II
Baneful influence.

Baneful influence.
The belief that the opal sheds bane-
full influence found support even in the
late Father Mollinger, the venerable
priest physician of worldwide fame.
Last winter one of Alleghany's lead
ing physicians presented DIR. Cyrus King
with an opal set in pearls. The pin was
an unique piece of jewclry and was
very handsome.
DIR. King was physician for Rev.
Father Mollinger One night, shortly
before the great priests death, the doc
tor was summoned to the pretty par
sonagc on Mount Troy. The aged priest
was weak, and lay there apparently
powerlcss, lie asked the doctor to come
again the next day, but Mr.. King in
formed him that lie was to leave for
New York that night.
The venerable priest was lying on his
bed with his eyes half closed, according
to the Pittsburg Press just then an at
tendant turned M the light and DIR,
King moved forward 70 say good-by.
At that the priest caught sight of the
cver.chauging colors of the baneful
stone.
"What, an opal?" he gasped, half ris-
ing III his bed. TITS sure TO BRING harm
to yourself and your friends; why do
you wear il I"
The doctor explained the story of
the gem, but all the time the venerable
father grew more excited. Finally he
said "If you wear that stone to New
York you will never come back alive"
The doctor insisted on wearing it,
however, and the priest took the gem
and blessed it. Then, returning it, he
SAID "When you come back Twill give
you pin worth wearing"
On returning, the aged priest was rs
good as his word, and the doctor was
presented with n magnificent diamond.
DIR. King took the pin home, intending
to put in the opal and remove the dia.
mond, but he forgot, and when hurriedly
summoned to the death-bed of the great
priest he still wore the opal. The father
at once noticed IL, and remarked Its
flashes seem to make me weaker; the
stone bodies ill.," Gradually he sank,
and the doctor hent over him to catch
the beating of his heart The fathers
eyes opened and rested on the iitful
colorings of the strange stone, aid
watching it, his spirit went out.

Joe Schwandcr. "Therc were five of us.
One had lost both legs, another both

II fourth was minus nose and the fifth

"Where are the linens kept p she asked,
Downstairs" was the reply.
She sweetly smiled and grabbed her train
And quickly fastened by.
Once down, she yentured to inquire
"rhe linens, are they here n
Just three rooms over to the right,
And straight back in the rear"
At last she reached the point proposed,
1.-The linens 'n-like crash
The answer came across the store,
They're six rooms oyer-cash ~
Again She jostled through the crowd
And family asked the clerk
The linens, pleasey" upstairs" he said,
With tantalizing smirk.
She reached the top, quite out of breath;
THE linens, sir ~ She said.
Sin the annex building, five floors up,
And then walk straight ahead
Accomplishing the long ascent,
Her temper solely tried,
She sharply asked the man in charge,
With rath She could not hide:
"Will you tell me where the linens are,
Or if they're in the store?n
I'VE used to keep them, ma'am,' he
smiled,
But do not any more"
