A HISTORY LESSON.

After 1895 the flag of the colonies had
Is stars and as many stripes until 1918,
when the stripes were reduced to 13
again, with as many stars as states.
In 1871 Vermont was admitted into
the union, the name Vermont" being
a word of French derivation, meaning
green mountain" The state of Mis-
sissippi was admitted into the union
in. 1917, Illinois in 1918 and Alabama in
1910. In 1920 the district of Maine,
long attached to Massachusetts, though
separated from it geographically, was
admitted as an Independent state.
William Henry Harrison, ninth pres
ident of the United States, was born in
Charles City county; Va, in 1773. His
father was Benjamin Harrison, gov
eernor of Virginia. He$Wass educated at
Hampden-S Sidney college,. He entered
the army as ensign In 1891, and was aid
de-camp to- Gen, Wayne In his campaign
Of the Northwest territory; delegate IN
congress. the first governor Of Indiana
territory and superintendent Of Indian
affairs; His death took place in 1s41.
There were four candidates for the
presidency Of the United. States in
1924, Crawford, Jackson, Adams and
Clay. No one of these got q majority
of the electoral vote, and the duty of
electing president devolved upon the
house OF representa- tives. John Quincy
Adams, Of Massachusetts,, was chosen.
The administration iof Adams was
stormy and unpopular one. He was
extremely honest and faithful, but, like
his father, John Adams, he had no lift
for winning friends. He could not
bend to the people. His cold manners
Rnd;9his disregard for the opinion of
others made him enemies who succeed
cd in preventing his reelection.
