A FLAG OF MAIDENS.

It Took Two Hundred of Them to Form
Fifty years ago the American flag was
raised over the Port of Monterey, CAL,
and it thus became United States seaport
instead of Mexican town. The towns
semicentennial was flttingly celebrated a
few days ago, and the place was crowded
with visitors.
One of the most beautiful Of the cere-
monies was the formation Of Old Glory
by arranging 200 girls in appropriate cos
tunes. The red and white stripes Of the
living flag were made of gowns of those
colors. The blue field was similarly Sc
cured, and tho white stars were placed on
top of immense fiat topped hats which the
girls wore.
When the 200 girls lifted their voices to
sing The Star Spangled Banner" the APP
plause awoke the echoes Of the hills sur
rounding Monterey and drowned the music
for several minutes.

A Cow worth More Than a Man.

In the United States the administra-
ton of the law affecting the civil rights
of the citizen, his property rights grow
ing out of controversies between man
and man upon contracts, has come to be
regarded as of much more Importance
than the enforcement of the law which
protects the life of the citizen. All can
notice that. The criminal law and its
administration have rather fallen into
disgrace. That is especially true of the
large cities of the country. All must
agree that it is more important to pro-
tect mans life than it is his property.
If the mans life is destroyed, if the as
sassin fires into his house and takes
away his life, is that not greater dep
rivation than to despoil him of his
horse or his COW or even of all the other
property which he possesses? Now why
is this the case? 1t is largely because of
the corrupt methods resorted to to de-
feat the laws administration and be-
cause courts of justice look to the shad-
ow in the shape of technicalities rather
than to the substance in the shape OF
crime. North American Review.

You ignore the fact that there were
two brakes, as there are two Cecil
Rhodeses. When brakes consummate
seamanship and audacious courage sue
cessfully resisted the armada and sent
the Duke of Sidonia "back to st. Mary
Port among his orange trees" he be-
came, and will justly remain for all
time, an English hero. But eight years
previously Drake stole the church plate
Of Lima, when Spain was at peace with
England.
His robbery disgraced England and
himself. In the remarkable volume OF
letters and state papers relating to Eng
lish affairs edited by Major Sharp
Hume, from the archives at Simancas,
have counted 80 instances in which the
restitution of brakes plumber is referred
to by DR.. Mendoza in language which
might be employed today by the agent
general of the Transvaal. There was
nothing admirable in the episode of the
Lima plate; quite the reverse. Is it
not, therefore, a good thing to distip-
guish between the good and the bad in
Drake as in Mr.. Rhodes? If Drake had
been broken in 1879 for his theft of the
Lima chalices and patens, he would
never have had the opportunity of win
ming half the three days battles in the
channel in August, 1888. On the other
hand, to condone the piratical expcdi-
tons of the earlier part of brakes ca.

COOper Not Yet Neglected..

In commenting in Longman's Maya
zine on the recent Introduction to the
Study of American Literature" Mr.. An
drew Lang declares that Cooper Seems
to be good deal neglected now. No
body goes on the trail with Natty Bum
pc (sic)." It may be that Cooper is
neglected in England, but he has not
been neglected by all recent British au-
thors, for Robert Louis Stevenson read
him and praised him and borrowed
from him, and Mr.. Rudyard Kipling
told an American friend not long ago
that he had just been reading Cooper
through and through with constantly
increasing appreciation. And Cooper is
not neglected by the publishers either
in France or in America. In Paris not
long ago sumptuously illustrated
translation of the most famous of Coop
er's stories was issued uniform with a
translation of the most famous of
Scott's novels. In the United States
1.-The Last of the Mohicans' has now
been put on the list of books which a
boy must read before he can get into
college. The Putnams have begun to
publish a complete set of his novels, H.

hawk edition. T. Y. Crowell & Co..
have in preparation new edition Of
the five Misunderstanding Tales, to be il.

passage by helping the men feed and
water the cattle on the way.
When they reached the depot and
climbed into the postal car, Aleck was
first introduced to the clerks. Then he
made himself comfortable upon a pile
Of empty mail sacks. while Brand, who
was the clerk in charge Of the registered
mail, began his work Of checking the
pouches. He told Aleck that these
sacks contained money and valuable
packages and that in one Of them were
several hundred thousand dollars going
to the United States treasury. "IlI
