APPLAUSE FOR THE OLD FLAG.
A Suggestive Incident In . Savannah
TheatAr Ten Years Ago.

More than ten years ago slight bu
significant incident occurred in Savan
nah, Ga. Between the acts of the
] atrical performance there was occasion
to drop large national flag from th'
flies above the stage. This was dom
without ceremony, merely in prepare
tion for the ensuing act, but as tn,
heavy folds unrolled and gave the
stars and stripes to the light, such 8
cheer went up from the audience tha,
the house was shaken. Savannah is q
conservative city, slow to forget and
tenacious of old ideas. Here, if any
where in the south, the war prejudice
would be strong, and yet the mere pre-
sentation of the silent emblem of the
nation called forth such ringing,
CHEEKY response of loyalty that any sus-
picion of the south's good faith must
have been shamed into silence.
Even to-day men are not lacking who
will assert that the patriotism of the
south is shallow and grudgingly given
only upon compulsion. Southern ora
tors and writer's from time to time
protest against this insinuation, but
without materially changing the opin-
ions OF the skeptical, for it is easy to
say that such written and spoken ut
terances are insincere or inadequate.
But the spontaneous expression of
heterogeneous multitude is bit of tes-
timony which cannot be gainsaid. And
there has been an overwhelming
amount of such testimony upon the oc-
casion of the tour which the old Liberty
bell has just made throughout the
south. Not alone in Atlanta, its des-
tination, but all along the route, at
every stop which it has snade. it has
been the signal for an outburst not un-
worthy of comparison with the scenes
of the memorable day when it pro-
claimed it's brave tidings.
Nothing 30 appeals to the universal
instinct Of patriotism as does an inani-
mate object which is emblematical Of
a nations character and history. Phil
adelphia is properly jealous Of the old
bell, and disinclined to relinquish it for
any considerable time, but If it is care
fully guarded from danger. as it is in
the present instance. it is fitting that
it shonld be loaned upon an occasion of
such importance AZ that of the Atlanta
exposition. It il pleasant to know that
the old bell is not SO silent but that 1t
can yet speak to the hearts of our peo-
pie, and gives fresh assurance that
common bond OF love and pride and
unites the entire country
Citizen.

A Very Simple Trick That Ended In .
Tragedy.
A tragic ending to q comic scene re-
suited in the heroine of the adventure
being conveyed to the hospital in very
precarious state, while the hero was Sc
curely under lock and key at tho
depot of the prefecture of police in
Paris. The whole affair turned on some
silly fun and stupid horseplay about .
wig. A young man had been fascinat-
ed by the attractions of girl few
years his junior and had asked to be
permitted to pay his attentions to her.
but she was by no menas disposed to
return the compliment, a. be bad be-
come very bald through illness, and,
as the object Of his affections concise
ly put it, she would never dream ct
marrying anyone with no hair on his
head.
The youth meditated over his dis
comfiture, and then a happy thought
flashed upon him. He would repair
the ravages of unkind nature by q re-
course to art, and forthwith he wended
his way to q hairdresser's shop and
became the delighted possessor Of .
wig with curls and love locks and elab-
orate partines in front and behind.
which, as he fondly hoped, would pro-
duce the desired impression on the
heart Of the obdurate young woman.
Thus adorned. he proceeded thak
