Mending the old FLAG.

In the silent gloom of garnet room,
With cobwebs round it creeping,
From day to day the old flag lay
veteran worn and sleeping.
Dinghy old each wrinkled fold
By the dust of years was shaded
Wounds of the storm were upon its form;
The crimson stripes were faded.
Twas mournful sight in the day twilight
This thing Of humble seeming,
That once SO proud Der the cheering crowd
Had carried its colors cleaning.
Stained with mold were the braids Of gold.
That had flashed in the sun rays kissing.
OF faded hue was its field Of blue,
And some of the stars were missing
Three northern maids and three from
glades
Where dreams the southland weather,
With giances kind and their arms intwinad.
Came up the stair together.
They gazed awhile. with thoughtful
smile,
At the crouehing form before them.
With clinging hold they grasped its fold
And out Of the darkness bore them.
They healed its scars. they found its stars
And brought them all together
Three northern maids and three from
glades
Where smiles the southland woather).
They mended away through the summer
DAT
Made glad by an inspiration
To fling il high at tho summer sky
On the birthday Of our nation.
In the brilliant glare of the summer air.
With brisk breeze round it creeping,
Newly bright through the glistening light
The flag went gladly sweeping.
cleaning and bold were its hraids az gold.
And hsshed in the sun rays kissing.
Nd, while and blne were Of deepest hue.

Icing vegetables For shipment.

Zone of the most remarkable new
departures i'll the freight business, - said
Mr.. Omar H. Bartlett, general freight
agent of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, ''is the idea of icing vegetables
for shipping long distances. 1t has been
tried spasmodically in other years, but
never until this year was the plan car
ried out to any extent Now the New
Orleans shippers are icing their vegeta-
bles right along. We have already this
season hauled 20 cars to New York city
alone that contained iced vegetables,
and the shipments to Boston, Buffalo,
Pittsburg, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
in fact to all the northern cities have
followed out this new idea. You know,
the shipments of cucumbers, cabbages,
beans and all kinds of garden stuff have
grown very rapidly in the past few
years, and now the producers have
found it necessary to ice them. The
process of packing is quite interesting. :"

A Prize Tombstone.

At recent pigeon shoot Of the Lin
coin Gun club at Alameda Point $35
tombstone was the thirteenth prize.
The conditions under which it was Civ
en- were that it should go to any man
who killed Is straight and then missed
the remaining two. If no one made
that score, it should go to the thirteenth
man.
Nobody seemed to want the tomb
stone. Len Owens broke 10 straight
and then deliberately missed the thir-
teenth so as not to win it.
81 am not superstitious. said he,
''but believe in signs.
Il am not either, declared Harlow
White, but I'll bet hat something
happens to the man who wins it -
''They can't run fast enough to give
1t to me, declared Merton Allen.
Colonel Sheldon l. kellogg made 10
straight and said he was not afraid of
winning the tombstone, for he intended
to make clean score. He killed his
thirteenth blue rock, and, despite his best
efforts, he missed two easy ones. The
tombstone is his now, and all it lacks
is his name and age. San Francisco

Evolution.

The time must come when all scien-

something beyond this present life of
ours. The theory Of evolution is now
being accepted by all leaders of science,

life beyond for which we are being pre-
pared. The doctrine of Immortality is
now popularity accepted. Rev. Henry
