OUR COUNTRY'S FLAG
HOW ITS 120th BIRTHDAY WAS
CELEBRATED HERE.
EXERCISES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
The Three Prize Essays Read and Miss
wiswan was Awarded First, Miss
Adamson Second and Miss
Markham Third Prizes.
EXERCISES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

Our country's flag had an inning at
the high school auditorium Monday
evening and three young ladies car
ried home the three prizes offered by
the Fred s. Lowell post, G.. A. r., and
the Women's Relief corps. These
prizes, consisting of a silk flag, pic
ture Of the battle of the Wilderness and
a portrait of Gen. Philip Sheridan, had
been offered for the three best essays
written by the high school pupils on
the history of the American flag.
There had been a number of contest
ants, but Miss Irma Wiswall carried of.
first honors, Miss Alice Adamson Sec
ond, and Miss Edna Markham third.
Monday evening, flag day, had been
appointed as the day upon which these
essays should be read and the prizes
awarded. A crowd that filled nearly
every available inch of space in the
auditorium gathered to hear the read
ing and the program which accompan
led. The hall was tastefulIy decorated
with flags and bunting. The exercises
were under the management Of Miss
Susie A. Rowe. She announced the
first number on the program to be a
solo by Miss Belle Head. Miss Head
was in excellent voice and rendered
+" The Star Spangled Banner" in so
pleasing a manner that she was obliged
to respond with Tenting Tonight on
the Old Camp Grounds.
Miss Adamson then read the follow
ing essay, illustrating it all through by
means of large cards upon which were
representations in coIors of all the
flags which had preceded the present
one:

History of old Glory.
ALICE M. ADAMSON.

.'Oh glorious flag, red white and blue,
Bright emblem of the pure and the true;
o, glorious group of clustering stars
Ye lines Of light. ye crimson bars,
Always your flowing folds we greet,
triumphant over all defeat;
Henceforth in every cline to be
Unfading scarf of liberty,
The ensign of the brave and free"
Our national flag! How much that
sentence signifies. Who can look upon
that flag and not think OF those who
died for it, and of the grand nation it
represents at the present day? 1t has
been called a 9 floating piece of poetry"
and still it has not much more intrinsic
beauty than many another ensign.
Where then does it's beauty lie? The
answer is in its history and what it
symbolizes. Every part of that flag
speaks to us, its red and white stripes
tell of the union of the thirteen original
states; its stars proclaim the union Of
states which constitute our national
constellation, white is for purity, red
for valor, blue for justice and all COM
bined make the flag our fathers fought
and died for. What could be more
profitable than to spend few moments
reviewing its history upon this celebra-
ton of its 120th birthday?
The first flag used by the colOnists
was that which the Mayhower carried,
the cross Of st. George. This consisted
of a large red cross in the center and
one also in place of the stars Of today,
the spaces between the small cross be-
ing blue This flag was generally car
ried By the English ships. The cross
was soon after changed to the kings
arms, and red and white stripes also
inserted.
There is no real knowledge as to
what flags were carried at Lexington
and Bunker Hill, but one authority
says: e the colonists carried one with
a white union in which was a red cross
and in the upper staff corner appeared
a green pine tree No mention is
made concerning the Lexington flag;
however it is probable their flags we're
like their uniforms the minority.
The two most popular flags adopted
about this time were the Pine tree and
Rattlesnake emblems. The Rattle
snake flag may be traced to DR.. Frank
lin, who, observing that the colonists
acted with but partial cooperation,
published an engraving in his paper of
a rattlesnake divided into thirteen dis
tinct parts, each bearing the abbrevia-
ton of a colony all accompanied with
the motto Join or Die, thus showing
the necessity of union. In 1776 the
snake was adopted as an emblem for a
flag, it was represented in various
striking attitudes, however the one
most universally adopted had thirteen
red and white stripes the snake lying
in a horizontal position. Underneath
was the inscription Don't Tread on
Me.
The pine tree appeared on a number
of flags, originally lin Massachusetts,
the flag was white and in the middle
appeared the pine tree. Above was

BETTER THAN DIAMONDS.

The Home Ma Gazinc for December con-
tains the following from well known
Scranton writer:
l"Elis papa had been out five weeks and
was expected hCme that night. A neigh
bor had just been presented with some
beautiful diamonds, and her children
were boasting of it TO him. Diamonds
are dazzling even to childrcn's eyes, ana
for moment he could not think of any
thing by which to offset so much splcn-
dor; then he remembered that papa was
coming, and with a contempt uous shrug
Of his shoulders ne quicklyreplied: That's
nothing my papa's coming home to-
night, and that's worth more than all the
diamonds I'm the world
Better than diamonds for papa TO come,
That were "A royal welcome home.
Such welcome, for papa, were better by
far
Than choicest gems of the Indies are.
Let the alchemist juggle alembcs at will,
Let the miner delve for his treasures still,
Let the divers search old oceans bed
For pearls that the rarest lusters shed;
Better than all that each pursues,
Better than gems of rainbow hues,
Is the love OF child, that wealth can
not buy,
The world bestow, or the world deny.
Arthur Leslie Collins"

Women, mothers Of families, have no
more right to live beyond their strength
than beyond their income.
The greatest injustice that women do
themselves and their children is in put
ting off getting well. Headaches, ner-
vousness, dyspepsia and melancholia
lay their leaden fingers over the whole
household.
Paine's celery compound has driven
sickness and gloom from innumerable
homes, where some loved member was
the source of continual anxiety and
even despair. The constantly repeated
successes of this great invigorator in
making people well have reused many
persons who thought themselves des-
tined unredeemably to lives of imper-

MUSICAL NOTES.

The communication printed below,
which explains itself, is received with
much regret. 1t seems indeed a matter to
be deeply deplored that Scranton cannot
support series of musical entertain
ments of the class of the chamber con-
certS:
To the Editor of the Tribune.
Dear Sir: Following the plan of the
past three years, it was purposed the
coming winter to give series of four
chamber concerts at the Young Mems
Christian association hall 1t was thought
that three seasons should make the need
and worth of such concerts plainly ap-
parent, and that subscribers would feel
confidence in the class OF music selected,
and it's manner of performance the fourth
year
Before these concerts could take place
1t was necessary that all expenses should
be insured. The same plan was adopted
i'm this part of the work as in former
years. The results, however, have not
been such as to warrant the promoters
in proceeding with the concerts; COnSc-
quently all money in the hands of the
treasurer, Mr.. Noubauer, will be re-
turned to subscribers and the concerts
given up for this year.
1t is with regret that TINS is done, for
in any place such concerts must be "a

Close, careful observation of great
numbers of cases like the above led
Professor Edward L. Phelps, NJ. d.,
LII. D., of the Dartmouth Medical
School to the formulation of Paines
celery compound.
The success of this universally WELL
known remedy in quickly driving out
disease from the blood and system need
not be retold to newspaper readers.
Paine's celery compound restores to
healthy state a weakened and dis
eased nervous system. One of the first
evidences of it's building-up virtue is
the gain in flesh noticeable about the
face. Night sweats and nervous twitch-
ings are things of the past; there is a
great Improvement in looks. a better
appetite, sounder sleep, a clearer skin
and more regular functions. These are
a few of the outward improvements.
More important is the thorough and
radical purifying of the blood and the
regulating and building-up of the deep
lying nerves all over the body. There
is nothing half way or partial in the
effect of Paine's celery compound. It
cures permanently.
