The COW belonged 10 a farmer named
Bridges. When three of his children
died rather suddenly and under pecu-
liar circumstances, several physicians
made an investigation. 1t was decided
that tubercular pneumonia caused the
deaths and it was suggested that the
children contracted the disease from
milk from the family COW.

tary of the Maine Veterinary Associa-

symptoms of tuberculosis, had her

Washington, July 15.-The tariff con-

today than yesterday, and one Of the
leading representatives Of the Sena.e
expressed the opinion at noon that the
Republicans would be able to conclude
their laboIs, tomorrosv, and to summon

in the committee was due to the fact

Senators not in the conference but

opinion that the contending factions
are very near an adjustment which will

On the House side, on the other hand,
among those in close touch with the
conferees it is asserted with the utmost
positiveness that the House conferees
have no intention of yielding anything

Was Looking for q Queen.

A son of the marquis of Salisbury is
much interested in bee farming, and
this very mild hobby resulted in the
widest kind of excitement in the neigh
borhood of Hatfield recently. 1t all
came about in this manner: Young
Cecil, finding one of his hives queen
less, sent an order to Welwyn, the
nearest town to Hatfield, for a Carni-
olan queen-a famous Italian bee-and
asked to be informed of the probable
time of it's arrival. The bee dealer sent
off the bee by the next train and wired:
"The queen will arrive by $40 this aft
ernoon." When Lord Cecil reached the
station to take possession of his bee
he found the place thronged. The tele-
graph clerk had interpreted the tele-
gram that her majesty was paying a
sudden visit to Hatfield, and, being I'M
able to keep such interesting news to
himself, the information spread like
wildfire.

How the Name s'Old GlOry'' Originated

1t is frequently asked where the
American flag got the name of "Old
Glory" by which it was called after
the war by General Sherman. That
the name is an appropriate one is very
true, for it is used proudly by all Am
orleans when they refer to the starry
emblem. Charles G. Coffin, in his
"Drumbeat of the Nation" gives the
following as the origin of the name !;
"There was one man in Nashville who
stood resolutely for the old flag, Steph-
en- Driver, who before the war was a
sea captain, sailing from Salem, Mas
sachusetts, to foreign lands. Once
when in a foreign port, he rendered
important service to the place, and
the people presented him with a
beautiful flag. A clergyman pro-
nounced blessing upon it as it rose
to the mast head of his ship, and he
MADE solemn promise ever to defend
it, with life if need be. He had made
Nashville his home. He opposed Sc
cession.
"When the war began he was oblig-
ed to secrete the flag, he sewed it in a
quilt, and every night slept beneath it.
He named it "Old Glory" MANY
times the Confederate soldiers search
ed his house to find it. I shall vet
raise it above the state house, he said
to them. They threatened him with
death, and he babe them do their
worst. His hour of triumph came
when the troops under Buell. entered
Nashville. He told the soldiers the
story of odd Glory brought it out,
went with them to the roof of the
state house and flung it to the breeze,
with the men in blue swinging their
caps and shouting their hurrahs."-
