heart on her sleeve, and "he who ran

Her whole heart and soul were
wrapped up in "Bill," and he was not

hands on her apron the while, to watch
her pride respond to an alarm of fire.

Many a Tim have l come upon them

"chnse one chase all" or some other
game. And 1t appeared to be Il clear

heard that "Bill" had gone and married
Lena in tho next block.
OF course Mary vas ~inconsolable for
some time, and i did my best to com
fort her and did not hesitate to express
nv opinion that 1t was a dirty, mean
trick And after awhile she recovered

after that she had married n police

Her husband has quit the aforce" and

I saw Mary sell Bills son u can of beer

We learn from one announcement
that Il glass of vine could be got for

four asses one could drink real Falcrn-

FOR washing a tunic and the date, the
18th of April, is carefully recorded by
the writer. Whether she was the lnun-

left undecided but it seems at least that
she was in the habit of marking up her
washing account on the walls of her
house.
There arc several such inscriptions on

Don't Blame the Cook

If baking powder is not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do tha same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formlygood, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed q falling off in strength. The food
isheavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full ieavening power, which no
other powder will, until used. and make more
wholesome food.

RAISING THE FLAG

The raising of the beautiful silk flag
from the tower was the next and con-
Guiding feature of the exercises but one.
The staff was thirty feet in hight and was
contributed by f. NJ. WoodsOn. The
rope was carried down to the platform in
front, where the school-children selected
for the duty OF raising the flag were ready
for action.
At the signal the boys and girls pulled
away, and the bright flag assembled 10 the
top Of the staff and Strengthened out un-
der the stiff breeze that blew from the
north.
Then the band struck UP 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" the artillery saluted
it with thirteen guns, and portion OF the
audience manifested their enthusiasm by
cheering and waving hats and handker-
chiefs.
The flag raised over the Government
building, beautiful silken banner, was
purchased by the uniform contributions
of the children of Sacramento who are OF
school age. Everyone Of them holds to-
day neat certificate reciting that they
have one share of stock in the first flag
raised in Central California over Federal
building. This flag will to-day be placed
in a dust and moth-proof glass case, her
metically sealed. 1t will be draped in
that case by Mr.. Morton, an artistic
draper. The case will then be placed III
the vestibule Of the building, there to re-
main perpetual souvenir OF this novel
and patriotic occasion, where every chllo,
as it grows to maturity, may see 1t, and
noint with pride to it, as holding a. share
in Old Glory.
Asan evidence that the rising genera
ton is imbued with patriotism, the boys
at once set at work cutting up the surplus
tlag-rope into pieces about SIX inches
long. which they said they were going TO
keep as souvenirs of the day, and OF the
nart they took in the dedication OF the
handsome editice. Even adults entered
the scramble for bits OF rope. and the
strugple for these mementoes ceased only
when the halyard had been cut away un-
til it could no longer be reached from the
platform.

and girls who participated IN the nag
