..The Old Flag Met His Sight

Whittier has pictured the re
nowned Stonewall jackson as saying
at Frederick when old Barbara dis
played the Stars and Stripes, that
whoever touched n hair OF her gray
head should Hdie like a dog And
the following, from the Sandusky
Register, confirms the fact that, al.
though fighting in what lie consid.
cred u sacred cause, the gallant
Southesner still cherished a deep re
spect for -the old flag" under which
he YVES born
During the war a squad OF Con-
federate soldiers, under command of
a captain, captured a number Of
United States soldiers, and with them
IN American flag. The Confederate
officer, to show his contempt for it,
dragged it behind him through the
dust and dirt as he marched into Gen
eral Stonewall Jackson's camp with
his prisoners. 4 Confederate sol
der, seeing the Stars and Stripes
trailing in the dust, raised his mus.
ket, took aim at the Confederate Of
iicer, and in language more forcible
than polite told him to lift that flag
out OF the dust or he would blow his
brains out.
The officer lifted the flag out Of the
dirt, but took the name OF the private
who had @insulted7 him. and reported
the incident TO General Jackson.
The general asked what he had done
TO excite the wrath OF the private and
the captain told him that he was
dragging the Stars and Stripes
through the dirt. @IIc did not shoot
your said the general. @No," re-
piled the officer, 1he did not shoot
me- The general made some re-
mark which indicated that he would
not have dealt harshly with the man
had he done SO. and said to the OF.
ficer: sThat soldier was born under
the Stars and Stripes, rs his father
was, and he still retains n respect and
affection for it, and an officer OF our
army who has no higher appreciation
OF the sentiments Of our people than
you appear to have ia not fit to DO on
my staif,T and he dismissed the Off
Ger.

listening eagerly to something the

The defendants attorneys tried to
make Quinlan admit that he had
taken so many drinks that day that
he could not recognize any one and
that his testimony was practically
valueless. Quinlan was required by
the defense To detail every movement
he made on April ID. from the time
he rose till night. He told of every

HEALTH SUGGESTIONS.

Clean up-everything-if you
would avoid the crisis that is sure
to follow this unnatural season.
Clean up and keep clean. This
weather is very singular indeed
but quite significant in relation to
the state of our health within the
next four months. If dry, hot
weather with warm nights succeeds
within the next forty days these
cool, damp nights, as it certainly
will, you may prepare for fevers,
diversified in types and of unusual
severity. Rapid vegetable growth
such as exists under our present
season readily succumbs to the de-
composing influences of the dry,
hot atmospheres that usually pre-
vail throughout July and August,
and give rise to those poisoning
agents that are so destructive to
health and happiness. So begin
now and clean up your yard, your
house, your body; cut the weeds,
open up under the house and let the
damp ground air and dry out-and
the most important-keeping your
body healthy. How best to do i'll
