COST OF ENGLAND's WARS.
What the British Have Had to Pay for
Their Fighting of Two Centuries.

What the British Have Had to Pay for
Their Fighting of Two Centuries.
In the wars of the present and of the
previous century England has expended
So, 1000, 100000. Almost necessarily since
100 England has been prosecuting war
and paying the cost of it. either in alliance
with other European nations or against
barbarous or semi-civilized nations single
handed.
The first of the wars in which England
engaged in the eighteenth century was
against the French. England having as it's
allies Holland, Prussia, Hanover and
Portugal. It eliminated in the treaty of
Utrecht in 1713, after an expenditure (rel-
atlvely much larger in those days. of $780,
600 O00
The English war against the Canadian
colonists, who were favorable to the
French, but who were without adequate
resources to Withstand the power of the
English, followed, at q cost of $500, 900 900,
and then follwed the war against the Ameri-
can patriot colonists south OF the Canadian
border line-the Revolutionary War. The
cost to England of the Revolutionary War
is given in the official figures of the Eng
lish War Office at 100000, 900.
The closing years OF the eighteenth CEN
fury and the early years of the nineteenth
century were years OF strife and war in
which England took an active part, but
never single handed. Her first alliance
was with Russia, Prussia, Sardinia, Portu-
GAL Itiay and the minor German States
against France. That was in 1898. The
next alliance, six years later, included the
same countries, with Turkey, Naples, the
Barbary States and Austria in addition as
allies of England. The combination of
European nations of which England was
apart, in 1905, included England, Russia,
Austria, Sweden and Naples. In 1909 Eng
land and Austria ombined against France,
and in 1913 all the great powers of Europe
and most of the minor ones combined
against Napoleon in what was known
afterward as 1.-THE seventh coalition"
While these wars were in progress in
Europe England carried on other wars,
particularly against the United States (the
war of 1922, and in India, and during this
period beginning in 1893 and closing in
1915, the total sum expended by England
for war and naval purposes was 81. 900 ,000,-
900. Such was the debt of England at the
close of the last war with the United States,
but it has been greatly reduced since
The Crimean war, in which England en-
gagged against Russia with France, Turkey
and Sardinia as it's allies, cost England
$3.50, 900 900, and subsequent wars and en-
counters in India, in Southern Africa,
where the Beers proved a sturdy foe, in
Egypt and elsewhere have entailed con-
siderable cost upon the English treasury.

OLD GLORY'S PERPETUAL YOUTH.
The Flag ut the Capitol Is Often Re-
paired, but Never Renewed.

The Flag ut the Capitol Is Often Re-
paired, but Never Renewed
1t IS question which no one can answer
what becomes of the flags which fly ses-
sion after session over the two Houses of
Congress. The life of a flag exposed at
such a height to the tattering winds
naturally cannot be long. Every now and
then after a storm a great rent is seen in
"Old Glory" as it proclaims from the
housetop that our statesmen are deliberat-
ing. Sometimes stripe is gone or per-
Then in a day or two 1t flies again with all
its stripes and its stars, as if it had never
suffered by the storm.
l asked what became of the old flags.
Nobody knew.
What do you do with them?
Nothing.
They are the same flags. That is. there
are no new ones. The old flags are simply
mended. There IS a patriotic poem in
this. "Old Glory" has a perpetual life ;
that is, the "Old Glory" that presides over
the Capitol. When stripe blows away a
new one is put in its place, and the same
old flag is pulled to the head OF the staff.
If it is the blue field and stars that is gone
this is reproduced. If only rent. it is
darned; if a hole, it is patched. Then
another stripe goes, and a new one is
added. So on, the old portions are blown
away, the newer standing until the new
becomes the old in turn and tears away,
and in endless revolution the old flag lives
on. 1t is always the same flag, but from
year TO year its entire texture is changed,
and the small bits are blown away by the
winds, and other small bits take their
place. There is no graveyard for "Old
Glory" 1t has perpetual life. No one can
tell when the flag which floats over the
Senate was bought. 1t is still a perfect
flag, but no part of what was first drawn to
the masthead is now in existence.-Wash-
ington Evening Star.

The Man, the Cow and the Elk.

While a freight train was lying at a
small mountain station in Montana the
engineer borrowed shotgun and started
out for hunt. He was about starting
to return to his train when a COW made
her appearance. Before he realized that
there was any danger the animal made
a rush at him, and he ran with all his
speed. But the cow was a better racer,
and in few minutes caught him by
the clothing, splitting his coat from
waist to collar and tossing him into the
air. Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, he lodged behind tree, and
then, to his dismay, found that the gun
barrel was bent SO as to be useless.
The next ten minutes were very live
~ Ones The COW chased the engineer
round and round the tree, and when he
got a chance to hit hes with the gun
barrel it only seemed to enrage her the
more. It was only question of time
when he would succumb to fatigue,
when diversion occurred which saved
his life. An angry snort was heard, and
big elk appeared upon the scene, head
down and prepared for a fight. The COW
was SO mad by this time that she was
ready for anything, and in another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
other. The engineer watched the COM
bat for few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make a retreat
in safety. He never knew the outcome
of the battle, but the presumption is
that the elk was the victor. Bozeman

The Importance of the duties devolying

The fact that he is the adviser Of the Board
OF County Commissioners. who are the pay.

OF his work requires constant and careful at
tention, is too often overlooked. 1t re.
