For the most part the interior was, il

With this comforting assurance, Mr..
Barlow took his departure, and Arthur

shone on the placid waters OF the
sleepy stream, and, tempted by the
fair scene, he carried his chair on to the

in the lovely landscape.
He was lost in thought. The past,
the present and the future tripped like
figures in dream through his brain.
Suddenly, he became alive to the fact
that others besides himself were enjoy.

TO CHANGE OLDGLORl.
1t is Proposed that the National
Flower Appear on the Stan
dard.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 1s.-In
connection with his bill to have the
pansy, or violet, adopted as the ma
tlonal flower Representative Butler
also proposes to make a slight
change in the American flag. His
OIL for changing the flag provides
that the natioual colors shall consist
of red and white stripes, seven red
and six white, with a union of blue
stars and white pansy, with a true
oansy center, which shall represent
the capital or central government.
The white stars representing the
several states, it is provided, shall
be set inside the white outline of
the pansy in manner to produce
the general effect, at distance, of a
white pansy in the blue sky. The
hag staff, Mr.. Butler insists, shall be
made to represent sleeping rattle
snake, head downward with an acorn
In place of head and white pansy
bud in place of the rattles, the whole
symbolizing defense, courage, wis
dom, strength, peace aud morality.
The flower bill mas been referred
to the committee on library and the
