a Slight misunderstanding.

1t is almost an atfliction to be deaf,
anyhow, it is a little embarrassing at
times. A certain editor went out to
report a party, where the home was
blessed with a new baby. Accompa-
MED by his best girl, he met the hos
tess at the door, and, after the usual
salntation, asked after the baby's
health The lady, who was quite
deaf, and suffering from the grippe,
thought he was asking about
her cold, and told him, though
she usually had one every fall, this
was the worst n she ever had it
kept her awake at nights a good deal
at first, and confined her to her bed.
Then noticing that the scribe was get
ting pale and nervous, she said she
could tell by his looks that he was
going to have one just like hers aud
asked him to so and sit down, The
paper was out as usual that week, but
the local editor has quit inquiring
about babies.-Ex.

The Greatest of All Ex@sitions.

Inc "EedttSt oA a AAPocAeAohS'
The buildings for the Columbian ex-
position will cost $4,000. 900. And yet
this enormous sum represents less than
one-half of the estimated total expend-
iture for this great enterprise.
Truly, Americans are justly entitled to
the reputation which is accorded to
them, both at home and abroad-that of
never doing anything by halves.
whats worth doing at all is worth
doing up particularly brown" is a thor
oughly American idea. 1t applies alike
to great expositions, gigantic feats of
engineering, the founding of colleges,
churches, schools and other public in
stitutions, to political contests and pa
triotic celebrations. Scan the entire
horizon of American activities and the
truth of this assertion comes back to US
with redoubled force.
A great national event, however,
shows Americans at their best. The
Columbian exposition will offer proof of
this statement.
The national public school celebra-
ton of Oct. 10 will be particularly
unique in character. It has no par
allel in American history. The public
school has never been the center of a
strictly national demonstration. 1t
stands prominently at the head of
American institutions. The idea that
it be the leader in a celebration which
proclaims the completion of 400 years of
American life has struck a responsive
chord which is already sounding
throughout the nation.

become orderly and subject to whole.
some discipline?
The writer has seen a large plumber OF
letters from teachers throughout the
country, over whose schools the flag has
been raised, which answered these very
questions.
"The flag has come to mean some.
thing" writes one teacher in Minnesota
''whereas before it was a meaningless
piece of cloth" II can see," writes
another teacher from Missouri, "quite d
change in the children's feelings toward
the flag. Now they seem to think that
it is their fag-an effect that never
could have been produced by talking"
Many other teachers report a distinct
growth of real patriotism. In a school
in Maine, "almost every day after flag
raising one could hear the children
cheering the old flag"
Even the little children count the
stars in the blue field of their flag, and
learn what they mean. The older pupils
ransack the books of the history of the
flag itself, and in so doing are impressed
with a new idea of its story and of its
relation to their own condition and priv.
ileges.
In this way the school house flag, seen
SO often and so constantly present in the
pupils thoughts, hasa marked influence,
as several teachers report, upon foreign
born children and the children of foreign
born parents. One teacher from the
west writes:
"Eighty-six per cent. of my scholars
were either born in other countries o,
are the children of foreign born parents.
The effect of the flag upon my schoolhas
been to make every one of my pupils Ell.
thusiastic Americans. If for any rea,
son the flag is not raised for a day, they
clamor for its raising. No more enthu'
siastic or patriotic set of children can bt
found in the United States than those Of
my school,"
These children begin tofeel for Ameri
ca the same patriotic devotion which
their fathers were taught from the
cradle to manhood, in song and in story.
to feel toward the lands from which
they came.

est in the school. and this must react
upon conduct. Many teachers testify tc
this. One in Connecticut says, "Inotice
it is easier to govern the children since
the flag was raised" Another in Massa
chusetts says, 1T has been a grand stel
in u school toward making brave
manly boys and womanly girls"
Tt has been proposed that the raising
of the flag be one of the exercises in al
the public school celebrations ON Colum.
bus Day. This arrangement will slim.
ulate all the schools which have not YET
raised the colors to obtain a flag before
that date.
The executive committee Of the ma
tional Columbian public school celebra
ton have taken a good step in announc
ing that any school writing to theil
chairman in Boston will be.given prac
teal suggestions and material aid or
how to procure a flag. Not one public
schoolin America ought to allow Itself
to- be without the stars and stripes on
this memorable occasion

Cheap Homes.

No man can be thoroughly contented
unless he possesses a home and it
should be the aim of every man of
family especially to have one. If you
haven't one consult G. j. Thompson's

desirable building lots in different
parts of the city which he is offering
on terms to suit purchasers.
