That Empty Barrel.

II got my furniture out of storage
the other day." said a New Yorker,
land my wife and I thought we would
unpack the china and brio a brac our.
selves, instead of paying fifty cents an
hour to the storage men to do 1t. The
stuff was packed in five barrels, one of
which we noticed was lighter than the
rest.
when we began to unpack that one
we concluded that 1t must contain our
fragile articles of ~vertue, for we first
came across a layer of excelsior and
soft paper, a foot in thickness. Below
this was another layer, equally as
thick, and when we had half ~unpacked
the barrel and found nothing but ex-
celsior and brown paper we knew not
what to think.
ave were still more fl~abbergasted on
finding no china on removing the pack
ing. We, of course, concluded that
our things had been stolen and re-
proched ourselves for our false economy
in doing the unpacking ourselves, for
1t is n rule of the storage Ice we
patronized not to pay for any articles
broken or missing unless its men do
the unpacking.
"As we missed nothing when the
other barrels had been u~npacked, my
wife cudgeled her brains to explain the
mystery. She finally remembered that
when we gave up housekeeping, one
year, and a half ago, there was a lot of
excelsior left yer when the china had
been packed. In a a fit of economy
she poked it all in a superhuous barrel,
which was duly headed up and carted
to the hotel where we spent the winter.
1t was stored in the garnet without be-
ing unpacked and last spring was sent
to the storage warehouse.
I'VE accordingly have paid not only
for the storage for nine months of an
empty barrel, but for its carriage on
three different occasions-from the
house to the hotel, from the hotel to
the storage warehouse and from the
warehouse to where we now live." y

Keep the Flag Flying.

Patriotic sentiment in Pennsylvania
is unquestiouably in favor of the bill
passed by the State Senate at Harris
burg on Wednesday, providing for the
display of the American flag on school
buildings throughout the Keystone
Commonwealth. People who sneer at
tile growing disposition to keep the flag
flying owe public structures show
themselvs wanting in the fundamental
qualities Of Americanism.
The symbol of this Republic is full Of
meaning to every American who is IA.
miliar with his ~country's history and
proud of her power. The most momen-
tous struggle for human freedom ever
carried through to triumph is immor-
talized by the stripes that recall the
thirteen members of the original sister
hood of States. The most wonderful
conquest eve achieved by the forces
Of civilization is written in the forty
four stars that summarize the march
of American institutions to the Pacific.
1t is well that the flag of this country
should be continually displayed in pub.

future sovereigns of the nation should
be taught to reverence it and under

typifies American principles and

Now Is the Time. :

The benefit to be derived from a good
medicine in early spring is undoubted,
but many people neglect taking any
until the approach of warmer weather,
when they wilt like a tender flower in
a hot sun. Something must be done to
purify the blood, overcome that tired
feeling and give necessary strength
Vacation is earnestly longed for, but
many weeks, perhaps months, must
elapse before rest can be INDUCED in.
To impart strength and to give a feel
ing of health and vigor throughout the

adapted to overcome that prostration
caused by change of season, climate or
