1894. The article we published several
weeks agdwas reproduced by leading
papers of the state and was the cause
of special dispatches being sent to
newspapers in Iowa where any colored
boy or girl had graduated from school.
The Iowa STATE BYsTANDER goes to
every county in the state. 1t will be
noticed that nine of the graduates are
girls. This leads us to ask: What are
the boys doing? The opportunity for
employment for girls is not SO great
nor SO remunerative, and yet we find
them seeking an education with com
mendable zeal and great success. Some
day a call will be made for young men
with education and the boys will then
realize what they have done with idle
moments and good opportunities, and
the girls will be competent to fill the
places because they have taken advan-
tage OF the present and laid away
knowledge for use when chance pre-
sents the occasion Boys, you will have
to improve or be lost sight Of.

PARNELL CITY EXCURSION.

The excursion to Parnell City, Tues
day, June 26, for various reasons will
long be remembered. In the first place
the excursion was very large and the
management had so perfected arrange
ments as to call forth the admiration
of all. The day was a typical picnic
day and at an early hour, rscarcely
dawn many happy parents and chill
dren moved hastily about their homes
getting in readiness to retreat to the
sylvan woods and drink in the hap
piness of strange and fascinating
scenery. Down the various highways
leading to the Wabash depot the sound
ing of feet-footed pedestrians and of
merry voices seemed to say, on TO the
picnic let joy be unconfined. Shortly
after : o'clock there was the ringing of
bells, the goa head signal as the
brakeman climbed on deck, and soon
the train sped swiftly along, carrying
eight coach loads of happy and con-
tented people to their destination. The
pleasure of riding and the beautiful

Old Glory.
From The Nep York San.

The United States flag was 1T years
old yesterday. If any national colors
are entitled to the designation ':Old
Glory those adopted by Uncle Sam
III years ago certainly are. The flag
of the United States is older than the
majority of the flags of European
nations flying to-day. The flag of
Great Britain was adopted in 1901, or
twentyfour years after that of the
United States. The flag of Spain was
adopted in 17s5, while the tri-color of
France, also the red, white and blue,
took form in 1894. The flag of Portugal
was adopted in 1880, that of Italy in
1s4s, and that of the German empire in
1871, so that the starry banner of the
United States may well be called the
'.O]d" flag. The Stars and Stripes also
have been through more battles and
have waved over more victories, both
on the seas and the land. than any other
flag flying in any part of the world to-
day. Its nearest competitor is the flag
of Great Britain, but since 1900 British
victories on land and sea have been in
considerable as compared with those of
the United States. More lives have
been given up and more limbs sacrificed
in defense of the Stars and Stripes than
for any European flag. Over million
men have died in order that that pre- tty
bunting might remain unsullied, and
an army of 25,000,000 unenlisted men
stands ready to-day to see that no dis
honor befalls Old Glory.

Nuremberg Eggs.

Watches first came into fashion in
the year 1477. at Nuremberg, and on
that account and because of their
peculiar shape they Were known as
Nuremberg eggs" They were not all
egg-shaped, however, some being made
in imitation of pears, gourds, acorns,
birds skulls, etc. Morgan the English
curiosity collector, has an old-time
watch in the shape of a cows horn,
which discharges a tiny pistol at the
end Of each hour. The Earl of Stan
hope has one shaped like an egg, cut in
jacinth and set with diamonds. About
the year 1920 watches began to assume
the shape now generally worn: in the
seventeen century, however, it became
the fashion to make them in the form
of cross.

The Hatch anti-option bill passed the
house last Friday by the decisive vote of
l49 to 81. This bill has been before the
country for long time, and it is hoped
the senate will be more expeditions,
There is something wrong with sys-
TEN of so-called speculation that allows
a few men to corner" the products of
this country and make the mass of the
people pay forit. A poor woman who
AYashes to support her family is forced to
pay tribute to these spectators every
time she buys sack OF flour The
question of supply. and demand has
nothing whatever to do with the mat
ter The intention OF the bill is to put
stop to puts ''calls" and 'soptions, .
and make sales and deliveries actual.
Many good men have been led astray
by this form Of gambling. There is
a.tually no difference between one who
| deals in options on the board of trade
! and one who ''speculates" with cards
and dice But socially one can hold a
position while the latter isnot counted
| even respectable.
