on from the weeks beginning to tho
end.
He grew tired of her, and would
have liked TO run away from her. But
he did not dare, for she was his mas
ter's daughter, and he was--well,
there was the rub--he did not know
who he was.
He woke up one day and found
himself born. The sky was above
him. and there would have been earth
beneath his feet if he had not pointed

six years old he could be made useful
enough TO earn his food aud
shelter. Jeus Oestruo then
wanted to send him away, but
his little daughter Birgit was SO fond
of him that he decided TO keep him.
When Ola was twelve years old he
could kick cap from nail high
above his head. Bright was SO fond
of Ola that everything he did seemed
admirable. Once she said bad word
and Ola was whipped for it.
So Ola was sent to the mountains;
he roamed with his alpine horn over
the wide mountain plains, ate berries,
caught fish, set traps and was happy.
He hardly thought once of tho little
gir. down in the valley.
One day late in the summer she
came up TO the dairy with her mother.
She was carried up on horseback in a
basket. When she saw him she flung
herself down upon upon the grass and
screamed WIFI ucilgnt.
But when her mother had reached
tho hut she ran up to him
and hugged him. Whilc the
cattle were being MIXED he
went to look after his things. She
followed him, proud in the thought
that he tolerated. her.
"Look here" he cried, lifting up
brown hare, ''isn't that big fellow?'
"What is it?" she asked.
at is hare"
"No, it isn't a hare. A hare is
white"
alt is brown in summer. 1t changes
its skin"
"Has he two skins, one inside the
other?'
Instead of answering he took his
knife and cut the hare's skin.
"No," he said, ''ho hasn't got
more'n one."
The time came when he had TO go
to the parson to prepare for confrma-
tion. 1t SO happened that she went
the same year.
But though he had coat now, it
was cast-oG one of Jcus Oestruo's,
which was much too big for him.
His boots, too, and his trousers had
seen better days, before they made his
acquaintance.
Hc walked aside from the rest; his
cars burned when any ono looked at
him. But If any one dared to mock
him he used a pair of fists which in-
spired respect.
He was h hndsome enough lad and
finely made, but his clothes and his
frowsy hair made him look ugly.
Heavy thoughts came to him, aud a
fierce. defiant spirit was kindled with
ir him.
II was at such time that Birgit
sought him and spoke kindly to him.
"You mustn't mind tho girl-," she
said, 'they laugh at everything. They
don't mean anything by it. LIS just

There are in England several Goa
and mctalliferuu' mines which extend
and are worked at considerable dis
tancc ont to sea. But perhaps the
most remarkable submarine coal iEine
is that at Nanahne, on Departure Bay,
beyond Victoria. British Columbia.
This mine Is known as the Wellington,
and its galleries are situated GOO feet
below the surface of the ocean, which
hero encloses IN archipelago of islands
very similar 10 the Thousand Islands
at this pit; which are continually devel-
oping, extend at present a length Of six
miles under tAe bottom of the waters
of the Pacific Ocean. Neirly the
whole population of Tho town Of
Nanaimo, amounting 10 ncaaly 1000,
is engaged in the mines of the place.
A great disadyaniage Of the Nanaino
mines is the excessive amount of COM
bustible gases present, by an explosion
of which, three years ago, 100 miners
lost their lives. Dut Notwithstanding
this drawback. it seems that the coal
mines in British Columbia, as in
Alaska, are moro profitable than the
gold mines, for the simple reason that
they can be worked the whole year
round, while the auriferous deposits
can only be exploited four months
In tho year. The goId-miners
have, therefore, 10 live in idle
ness during the remaining
oight months, and in country which
cannot prodtss tho necessaries of life.
Provisions aud other commodities are
generally imported from the United
| Slatee, and are consequently hardened
with heavy transport charges. As
the miners cannot be left 10 starva-
ton during shcse eight months, the
propricl0rs of the mines have to incur
such an sATmoas expense that the
ore has TO bo of very high grade to
render work remunerativc, SO that
low grade ores are not touched unless
there are ccmpensaiing advantages,
such as are manifest in the case of tho
Treadwell Mine, on Douglas Island.

BuNKER hill FLAGS,

A New Orleans antiquary possesses a
relic of interest to BDSUunlans. 1t is the
original Continental battle flag of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene's command.
This old flag was presented to Gen.
Nathaniel Greene by the ladies of
CharlestOwn, Mass, was afterward car
ried 10y Capt. (afterward GeneraD, Ward
at BundCr Hill, the 18th OF June, I775. 1t
was then turned over to the sale keeping
of Company A at Cambridge. Gen.
Greene carried 1t with him to Trenton,
Germantown. Monmouth add North and
South Carolina. 1t afterward became
the property of Gen. Greene's Abide
Camp, the gallant Lieutenant John b.
Burgess, and it has been handed down
as an heirloom in the family till it passed
into the hands of Mrs. Annie Burgess of
Avoyelles parish, La, who is the only

service in Bennington at the late Cen

"The Battle of Bennington was OF i'm
portance enough for half dozen mnnu-
mentS, and If New York wants to honor
it, with monument no Vermonter will
object The historical fact is that the
battle was fought en- New York soil, but
the objective point of the British attack
was Bennington. That Baum's army
was defeated before reaching Benning-
ton was creditable to the energy of the
Continental troops, but it must be re-
membered that Baum was on his way to
Bennington where the stores were kept
and the Importance Of this location was
such that the battle was then given, and
retains to this day the name of the bat
tie of Bennington which means good
deal more than any other that could be
selected and is in every way appro-
pirate. =,
"Times was when New York wanted
the whole State of Vermont. Now she
is content with share in the glory of
Bennington. Well there was enough
glory that day to share, and if New York
wants Bennington monument OF her
own let her have it.

which does not seek to dctract from the
honestly earned glory of the Green Noun

Locke asks why New York is not en-

under the American flag who does not
know that at Bennington were collected
large quantities of stores for the support
of the American army and that it was
Burgoyne's plan to capture them? Also
at Bennington stood the famous Gaia
mount Tavern which had for a sign a
stuffed catamnunt grinning defiance
towards the State of New York, and
within the walls of this noted house con-
vened the Council of Safety composed
such men as Stark, Warner, Chitten-

guided the boys through the perilOus

the battlefield but we mean that the
deeds done by our noble dead shall never
pass into oblivion, for on historic soil
stands the grandest battle shaft in the
world that will tell to coming genera

in the future stultify himself by tamper-

While TIE STAR and other evening papers of
the United States were commenting on the
kAiser's EEandenburg speech the laboring peo-
pie OF Germany were making a more effectual
criticism at the very doors of the imperial cas-
tie on the historic Inter den Linden. The
ksiser's system of rule is severely tried when
the intelligent middle class. loyal to Germany
and sturdiest defenders Of the house OF Hohen-
zollern, openly sympathize with the protest of
the unemployed class who are debarred from
food and drink by the military and autocratic
policy Of the government That policy rests on
the glory OF the dominant classes at the ex-
pense Of the liberties and vitality of the nation
at large. 1t is medieval and not modern, and
must in the growth of things be supplanted by
a real constitutional system of government
with the good Of the people as the prime OBJ
ject of law and administration. As the suffer
ing, maddened people, with the revolutionary
cry Of ITO the castleI' brushed aside the po-
lice and got within hearing Of the imperial
person, so will they, unless 1.-THE imperial pre-
tensions be slackened. brush aside his armies
or honeycomb them with socialistic and demo-
cratic ideas and bring on the immediate rule OF
the German people. The pretext Of the neces-
sity for middle Europe being an armed camp
to curb the extremities and maintain peace
will. sooner or later. be exploded. The best
guarantee for European peace and prosperity
Is the extension of enlightened liberty to the
various peoples of Europe.

When the republicans Of Ohio talked of
gerrymandering the congressional districts of
that state worse than they ever had been gerry
wandered The STAR protested. as it had pro-
tested against similar measures of both parties
in other states. The democrats of Missouri. it
is said, propose to go a step further and either
appropriate to themselves the entire delegation
OF fifteen to which the state is entitled or leave
the minority party q single representative only.
The republicans have about 100000 votes in
Missouri, or As per cent Of the total vote of the
state. To cut them of without a representa-
tive, or with only one, is SIMPLE act of politi-
cal highway robbery. which can in the end
only injure the party committing the act.

A bimetallic intern ationsl conference that
does not bind the parties is like democratic
congressional caucus on silver-it is also like
the famous sction of the King of France who
marched up the hill and then marched down
again Great Britain may almost as well not
agree to confer as to decide in advance that she
viii not necessarily abide by any decision Of
the conference, if one be held But one good
may result from such apparently fruitless con-
ferring on the silver question 1t may blaze
the way for an agreement hereafter.

The trouble in the matter of convictions for
dealing in what is known as green goods
has been the difficulty of obtaining proofs and
this has been due, at least in part, to the in
adequacy Of the available detective fund. The
bills introduced by Senator Henderson would
seem to meet the case, as they were prepared
carefully in concert with the officials charged
with the enforcement of the law. The bangle
business would be interfered with by the enact
ment Of the bill providing penalties for the
mutilation of coins. There is already law on
the statute books against these mutilations.
This would secure the object more certainly.
