SALEM, Or, Sept. 2S.-That the
present Oregon legislature is deter
mined not to go down in history as a
do-nothing legislature. becomes more
plainly apparent every day. Today
both branches did business again, and
did it with vim, and while the pro-
ceedings were altogether of a routine
nature there was full attendance in
each house, and every member ap-
peared anxious to do his part thor.
oughly and we'll, and to give q good
account of himself. 80, =. =,
In marked contrast to the regular
session of two years ago, is the special
session of to day. Then the desire to
accomplish results and pass useful
laws was lost sight of in the excite
ment and rancor of the senatorial
contest from the very first. Now both
houses are hard at work -on routine
business, and so far as outward APP
pearances indicate, 90 absorbed in
their present occupation as to be to-
tally oblivious to all else.
In the house today ten bills were
introduced.

John E. Barnett has sold his lot and
residence on the corner of B. and
Webster streete to R.B.H Hood who will
move his family there next Spring.
Meanwhile Mr.. Barnett will build a
new residence on the lot across the
street south. 1t Is expected to have
the new building ready for occupation
by next Spring when Mrs. Barnett
will return from Portland, after her
son, Master Archey, has finished his
education.
The wife of w. Crawford, who lives
on the south side of the Klickitat
mountain on the road between here
and the top Of the mountain, broke her
right arm this morning while going
from the house to the spring. What
makes the accident particularly unfor-
tunate is the fact that the same arm
was shattered last fall in runaway.
DIR. Cook, who is a neighbor of Mrs.
Crawford, sent for DR.. Hollister and
the two physicians made the lady as
comfortable as could be expected.

How John Bull Got Ills Name.

Now that John Bull and Uncle Sam
are exchanging compliments in such
friendly fashion folk are asking where
our transatlantic cousin got his name,
and very few people can answer the
question. 1t is of special interest to
note just now that it was inoculated
in a story of Spanish affairs.
DIR. John Arbuthnot, one of the many
royal physicians to whom the Scotch
city of Aberdeen has given birth, was
the author of John Bulls being. AL
most forgotten now by all but the
erudite, who remember him as the in
innate Of Pope and Swift, Arbuthnot
christened the British nation in bulk
as John Bull in the political strife in
cidental to the dismissal of the whig
Ministry of 1710, when the able and
avaricious Marlborough saw the begin
ming of the decline of his brilliant for
tunes.
"The History of John Bull" was a
satire on the political events preced
ing the treaty of Utrecht in 1913, writ
ten by Arbuthnot. In 1904 he was
created physician extraordinary to the
Queen in recognition of his services
in saving the life of Anne's husband,
Prince George of Denmark. He had
become the Queens confidential medi-
cal attendant, position of no mean
Importance at time when so much
depended on the succession to the
crown, and he was closely in touch
with court life.
For the better understanding the
following history, the reader ought to
know that Bull, in the main, was an
honest, plain dealing fellow, choleric,
bold and of very inconstant temper.
He dreaded not old Lewis, either at
backsword, single falchion or cudgel
play; but then he was very apt to quar-
rel with his best friends, especially il
they pretended to govern him; If you
fattered him you might lead him like
a child. Johns temper depended very
much upon the air; his spirits rose and
fell with the weather glass.
"John was quick and understood his
business very well; but no man alive
was more careless fin looking into his
accounts or more cheated by part
ners."

The fancy waist is made over fit
ted lining which closes at the centre
'front.' but is itself fitted by shoulder
seams and smooth under arm cores
and closes below the left side, the
basque being separate and scanned to
the waist proper. The full mousse
line is faced to yoke depth at the back
and stitched to the right front but
hooks over into place at the left shoul-
der and beneath the left rever. At
the neck is a soft collar of the same,
supplemented by frill. The revers
are each faced with gray and are
trimmed with tiny ribbon frills which
match the mousseline in shade.
To make this waist for a lady Of
medium size five yards of material
twenty-five inches wide will be re-
quired. To cut the skirt fifteen yards
of the same width will be required, the
rufiies alone calling for eight yards.

A CHRISTIAN FLAG.
A SYMBOLIC EMBLEM UNDER WHICH
RELIGIOUS HOSTS MARCH.

Its Originator Was Struck with the Need
of Some Standard Which Would Desig-
nate Marching Christian Body of What
ever Nation or Creed.
Now we have the Christian flag-that
is, flag designed to be the common
standard of Christians the world over,
irrespective of nationality or creed.
Charles C. Overton, superintendent of
the Sunday school of Brighton Chapel,
Coney Island, is responsible for the in
novation, and he is deeply interested
in spreading the movement
So greatly interested is he that he
has had large quantity of little but
tons made similar to those so fire.
quently seen during political cam
paigns, each containing on its surface
a miniature reproduction of the flag.
The Christian Flag Extension Society
has also been organized, for the pur-
pose of giving the matter wide public
ity.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-06-06

The flag, a number of which have al
ready been made, is symbolic. The
ground is white, representing peace,
purity and innocence. In one of the
upper corners is a square of blue, the
color Of the unclouded sky, a symbol of
faith and trust. In the centre of the
blue Is cross, the chosen symbol Of
Christianity, the color being red typ
ical of Christ's blood.
A hymn called The Christian Flag"
has been dedicated to the movement,
the words of which were written by
Fanny j. Crosby, with music composed
by r. Huntington Woodman. One
verse is as follows;
The Christian flag! God bless it!
Now throw 1t to the breeze,
And may 1t wave triumphant Iii.
Ger land and distant seas, ar
Till all the wide creation sf 4
Upon its fold shall gaze, TTGr,
And all the world united
Our loving Saviour praise.
Copies of the hymn have been sent
to band masters all over the country,
with the request that the music be ar
ranged as march and played upon ap-
propriate occasions. The request has
met with many favorable replies.
A circular descriptive of the move
ment has also been sent to superin-
tendents of Sunday schools, with a
view of securing widespread co-opera-
ton. The owners of several large ex-
cursion steamers have ordered the
Christian flag for their vessels, to be
flaunted to the breeze when carrying
Sunday school excursions.
The idea of a Christian flag occurred
to Mr.. Overton on last Children's Day.
Each scholar was furnished with a
small American flag and a parade was
inaugurated. A few hours later a con-
vention of liquor dealers was marched
over the same ground, and by a strange
coincidence each man carried an Amer
lean flag Of exactly the same size as
those which the Sunday school children
had carried.
In speaking of the occurrence, Mr..
Overton said he was at once struck by
the thought that a distinctive emblem
was needed which might be symbolic
of Christianity. And in this he meant
no disrespect to the American flag. 1t
was simply that the Stars and Stripes
are too far reaching.
There can be no opposition to the
assertion that nothing awakens such
enthusiasm and emotion as a flag" said
Mr.. Overton. "An army without its
colors is inconceivable; then why not
equip the army of the Lord with a flag
appropriate to its mission? | would
suggest that upon the standard that
carries the flag crown might replace
the eagle or spear emblematic of the
reward awaiting the faithful"

A Judge Killed by n Turkey.

The fashion by which Judge Samuel
Ashe of the First North Carolina Su-
preme Court came to his death must
have been extremely mortifying to him.
He was killed by turkey gobbler.
One day, after he had become very old
and infirm, he was placed in a chair
under the shade of tree in his yard.
A red cap protected his ancient noddle
from the attacks Of flies, and his COM
fort was so well provided for in every
way that sweet slumber stole upon
him, and caused him to nod A large
turkey gobbler, which patrolled that
precinct, mistaking this Tor challenge,
Immediately gave battle. On sudden
the Judges sweet slumbers were
broken by the flap of hostile wings,
and ere he could collect his scattered
senses a well-directed spur smote him
In the temple, and he fell down ana
gave up the ghost.

May Mantons Hints Regarding Seasonable
Toilettes.

The popularity Of the rufled skirt
made from taffeta, either black, gray
or beige color, seems to increase as
the season advances and it bids fair
to take first place for year with waists
of various sorts.
The model shown is in a soft shade
Of gray and is worn with a fancy
waist of figured silk. showing bits Of
pale corn color in conjunction with
mousseline de sole of the same tender
yellow. The foundation skirt is cir
cular and fits snugly about the hips.
The frills, which are five inches in
width, are each cut bias and edged
with velvet ribbon stitched on.

gathered back are arranged over a
perfectly fitted lining, the yoke being
applied at the top. The closing is
made invisible in the center back
Graduated frills form bretelles over
the shoulders, a band of insertion
heading the gathers, and correspond

the yoke and extends over the bre-
telles. The fitting sleeves are banded
with four rows of the insertion at
equal distances apart, puff of the Or

The gored skirt which is a special
feature of children's styles this season,
is finished at the foot with straight
frill inches in depth, edged with in
sertion and narrow lace, two bands of
insertion encircling the skirt. The

lower edge of the waist, the bands over
the shoulders extending with pointed
ends several inches over the top of
skirt in front and back.
