DON'T TREAD ON MEL

The origin of this design has been trac.t'
to remark made by Ben Franklin. At
the time the flag was adopted or immedi-
ately before, England was shipping her
criminals to America and turning them
loose on the defenseless colonists. After
several murders had been committed By
these unwelcome immigrants, Ben Frank
lin (some say in joking spirit) suggested
that the colonists retaliate by sending a
cargo of rattlesnakes to the mother coun-
try and turning them out in the gardens o,
the nobles.-St. Louis Republic.

Waiting for the Meat.

The green domestic is always with us.
She was sent out last week by her up town
mistress to give the grocer an order, "And
while you are there" she was told, hurry
the meat up through their telephone; I'm
afraid it will be late" The order was duly
received by the grocer, who wondered at
the girls further delaying, while she cast
frequent glances at the instrument behind
his desk.

Tho Artists Smilin: Model.

An Indianapolis artist who has won
prestige in eastern art circles tells the fol-
lowing incident which occurred in a New
York studio of much celebrity: A large
class of women and girls were sketchins.
from seminude model, Il young Italian,
who was posed with his head thrown back,
his arms Enthusiastically wreathed over his
head, and his legs extended in some sort of
wild Bacchanalian caper. The indianapolis
woman was sketching the models shoulder
when she observed that he was smiling at
her in very familiar manner. Somewhat
disconnected to discover that she had ap-
parently made conquest of this guileless
child of Italia, she began to sketch his
knee, as more remote from the artillery of
his sentimental glances. In Il remote cor
ner of the room giggling arose, and she per-
ceived that the smiles of the firtatiOus
model were taking effect upon some lively
girls among the students. They subsidized
shortly, but the young Italian still con-
tined firing off smiling glances in every
direction.
At about the center of the class was a
German girl, serious to the core, absorbed
in her work and fierce in manner as fe-
male Bismarck. Every stroke she planted
on her easel was decisive and almost COM
bative. Suddenly she came under the bat
terry of the Italians smiles, and without an
instant's hesitation her voice rang out like
clarion: .....-.s.
"You schtop dat schmiling. We don't
want you to schmile."
The figure of the model relaxed instanta-
neously, and he stood straight as an arrow
before the class, the impersonation of Of
Tended and wrathful dignity After an
verest tones:
Ladies, am here before you zimply as
re model of re Dancing Fawn.' Ze smile
goes wiz re pose. "-Indianapolis Journal.

The Great Earthquake Of Port Royal

The Great Earthquake Of Port Royal.
The 7th of June, 1862, the day of the great
earthquake, was exceedingly hot; not q
cloud was in the sky and not breath Of
air stirred. At about l1.4O a. m. slight
trembling of the earth was felt, and this
was shortly followed by a second shock
somewhat stronger than the first and ac-
companied by hollow rumbling noise like
distant thunder. At this most of the
people began to run out of their houses,
but third shock at once supervened, and
in about minute-for it is said to have
lasted nearly minute-four fifths of the
town was in ruins and the sea rolling over
it.
The streets on the north side, on the
brink of the harbor, where sand had been
most steeply banked up, were the first to
fall, sinking at once into four or five ia
thoms of water; next fell the church and
tower. and then Morgan's lines, on the
south side, on the verge of the sea, to
which many had fed for safety, suddenly
disappeared. the sea rolling completely
over the place where it had stood.
Then the whole of that portion of the
town where the ship channel had been sank
at once into deepwaCer, while the houses
nearer the central rock sank, some mp to
the caves, others up to the first floor :rd
others again one or two feet only, accord
ing to the distance at which they were sit
uated from the waters edge. About 900
persons are said to have persisted.

he was again up in the lap of it's wearer.
She pushed him to the floor, and glancing
down saw dozen marks upon the front

Indignantly she arose, gave Fido her seat,
and called the attention of his mistress to
the fact that her dress was ruined.
"Well, collect your damages from the
company" was the tantalizing reply.
The matter was laid before the officers of
the company, and they. without hesitation,
assumed responsibility for the damage
