The absence of Director Wills from

was out of the city.
AS each company passed in review be-
fore the Queen the children saluted and
Her Majesty gracefully returned the
courtesy. The High School cadets, in
their neat blue sailor uniforms with
yellow trimmings, drew up company
front before the throne and received
applause for the military manner of
their maneuvering. They marched like
veterans. The pupils from the San Pc
dro street school wore red, white and
| blue mortar boards. and those from the
| Ann and Alpine street schools had their
| hats profusely decorated with flowers.
| The Amelia street school turned out
about the largest contingent in propor-

companies left nothing to be desired in

queen is strewn with flowers, we are
apt to forget, in the pride of our beauti-
full city, that beyond the snowy noun
tain peaks to the east lies another sec
ton of our grand country; that With
out the east the west would be incom-
plete; that while we are Angelenos, we
are also Americans.
1T is in pursuance of this thought
that Mr. Francis has given this beautiful
national flag to be presented by the
school children of Los Angeles to the
city of Los Angeles. Mr.. Francis takes
no part in the presentation preferring
that it should be the children's HANDS
that touch our flag, the children's voices
that speak, even though we handle this
dear emblem. less reverently, though
we speak less eloquently than he.
1T is to perform this sacred trust
that we are here today; that we. the
coming patriots, the coming citizens.
may deliver the flag Of our nation into
the hands of our city,
LAS we gaze at the stars and stripes,
the words we had meant to say are 81
fenced, the thoughts we feel are beyond
utterance, as though we stood on holy
ground in the presence of those saints
and martyrs who have died for it. The
California landscape fades away, and
we see the battefields and legislative
halls that have been that this flag
might be. The picture of our nation,
born amid the smoke of battle, nour-
ished by the blood of heroes and the
tears of women. raised in century $
time to its now high estate, shines out
among those silken folds.
Let those stars and stripes speak 10
YOU as no voice can; let those white
stripes be am emblem of the purity in
POLITICS, religion and morals for which
we are hoping and working; let the red
tell the story of defeats that have ended
in victories-a fitting monument to the
nien who died in their country cause
let the white stars appear through the
mist of tears which veils your eyes,
as Jewels in the crown of liberty.
Mere words are the poorest, though
alas. the commonest. kind OF incense
which burns on the shrine of patriotism.
Rather we, the school children OF Los
Angeles, give this flag into your hanus
who represent the city's government, as
a pledge of our faith in you, our trust
in ourselves, our hope for the future.
Long may it float over a city as pure as
if is fair as strong as it is beautiful.
Long may it be the emblem OF naI1on
with liberty and justice for al. WheI'
the boys and girls who gave IL are lIleis !

torn to shreds by the repeated piasts
of gentle Zephyrs, when the very stal'
that supports it tOtters with age, may
our country still stand to preach 10 the
listening nations of the earth the ever
unfolding doctrine of eternal freedom.

Their Impuoence.

Certain young Indian gentlemen
who are pursuing the study of the law
in London were invited by the master
of the Temple to pass an evening at
his house. The time fixed for the as
sembling of the interesting party ar
rived, but nobody came. When near
ly an hour had passed in fruitless wait
ing the masters lady rang for the maid
"a new one, as it happened, not yet
quite accustomed to the ways of. the
house. She entered in state of consid-
cradle excitement. "Have none of the
gentlemen arrived?'' asked her mis-
tress. NO. answered the domestic,
''5ut a lot of impudent nigger minstrels
has been a-ringin' at the bell, and L
have been a-drivin' 'em away, mum!''

She Made q New Rule for Women of the
Executive Mansion.
About the time that James Monroe
es president of the United States pro-
claimed the great doctrine which bears
his name in international affairs, says
The Chicago Tribune, his wife, Eliza
Kortright Monroe, took a stand in So
cial affairs which has stood the test
of time quite as well as that of her
great husband. She absolutely refused
to return any social calls. Great was
the row it stirred up and the charges of
affecting royal manners and customs
and of being rude and all the rest
rained about Mrs. Monroe's head.
But it was of no avail. She stuck it
out, and each ''first lady of the land"
has followed her example since. So
great, however, was the disturbance
over Mrs. Monroe's refusal to return
calls that John Quincy Adams consid-
cred it necessary to draw up and
formally promulgate a formula of eti-
quette which has since regulated the
life of the executive mansion.
After the revolution James Monroe,
then only % years old, went to New
Virginia. lie was a. handsome young
fellow, with political and military sue
cess upon him in marked degree and
O. distinguished ancestry. There he
met the beautiful daughter of Law
renee Kortright, who was an impor-
tant figure in the social life of New
York of that day. and, falling in love,
they were married.

Destroyed a Bridge Across the Desohutes

EDITOR CHRONICLE Il write this to
let people know what sort OF men we
have in Wasco county. 1 built small
bridge across the Deschutes river for my
own convenience to cross my horses to
and from my old range, which L have
used for nineteen years. 1 did not think
this would interfere with anyone, though
it may damage J. H. Sherar probably
$50 or SO year. Word came to me
last Saturday night that the braces were
cut off and one of the stringers was al
most cut off, which makes the bridge
impassable. Whoever did the work
must have been a particular friend of
mine. I don't think this man was
raised up at home by any parents.
Think he was driven away from home
when he was small or was left an
orphan. 1 don't think he had prin-
ciple enough for any one to ever keep
him around home. The man has been
hired to cut this bridge down. This
bridge won't damage only one man in
Wasco county anything to speak
of. This has raised quite an excitement,
and if this bridge can't be repaired, it
will be the cause of Il free bridge across
the river-and it will damage the toll road
great deal more than this other would
since this bridge has been built. The
people of this community have deter
mined to have "a bridge across the river,
and it viii be put across inside of one
year if this bridge cannot be repaired
never have been in favor of free
bridge before on account of the range
but now since this has occurred 1 will
give 500 towards free bridge, and 1
will give to any man the best span of
geldings that have on the range, who
will give me an introduction to the
parties that cut the bridge. They were
tracked today quite a way down toward
the Canyon City road.
