Reverence for Oar Flag
From the Denver Times.

From the Denver Times.
 That was a very pretty little scene that occurred in front of the postoffice yesterday afternoon just before the parade began. One of the members supposed to be in line was a little late, and in order to get in proper position as soon possible walked right down the middle of the street alone, carrying a large flag. The funny ones in the crowd saw the man parading as a color-bearer- all alone and began to yell at him. Such remarks as Hay footp' .Step up littler "Hey, there, Shafterr' and a dozen other similar ones could be heard all the way up Sixteenth street. but he marched right along, paying no atten- tion to the gibes.
 When he got in front of the postoffice the crowd noticed that one lone colored man standing there took off his hat as the flag passed. An old retired officer, who is at present attending the Mcintyre courtmar- tial, saw the man uncover" as Old Glory passed, and remarked:
 That fellow has been in the service a good many years, and I will wager my salary on it.'
 Sure enough, inquiry developed the fact that the colored man was regular and had been in the service for twenty years It was lesson that impressed every one standing around there.

then wants a higher education, the state can claim the credit for having brought 1t to point of intelligence from which it can easily procure the means to go fuf> ther.
 If. however, the child does not desire to push on to a higher education, the states responsibility will have ceased and 1t can stili claim the credit of having given 1t common school education.
 Lightning does not favor abolishing the many large schools established at the states expense; but it believes that jus= tice to the many ignorant children throughs out the state demands that these schools be made self-supporting, and that the money which they have been receiving be applied to the upbuilding of the common schools, where the children of the coun- try, rich and poor. may have equal chances at it.

The Horse Doctor in the Lobby

From the Washington Post.
 Some years ago." said Lieut.. Col. Huid- ekoper of the army, at Chamberlain's, 1T was at Harrisburg looking after legislation that affected a number of public institu- tions, hospitals, libraries and the like. My personal interest in these bills was nothing, but it required some work to get them en- acted. There was some hostility to the leg islation I wanted from several statesmen from the rural districts, and they blocked it persistently on alleged constitutional grounds.
 Zone Saturday as I was about to enter the ancient state house, that fate had destined for the flames, chanced to meet up with, a group of these objectors. They were ilamenting the fact that there was not

THE CRADLE.
 ....OF SECESSION.

From the Washington Post
 One of the most remarkable small areas of country in the union in respect of the large number of distinguished men that has been produced, everything considered, Is that comprised in circle of about thirty miles radius lying about the city of Au- gusta, Ga. The center of the district would probably lie few miles above Augusta, up the Savannah valley" It is not a con gressional district, embracing counties fin both Georgia and South Carolina. It lies among a splendid assemblage of productive hills, that rise with their granite founda- tons, irony-red clay subsoils, and well-wa- tered, grassy sides, above the monotonous sandy stretches going out from Augusta to the sea. The district in point does not include the city of Augusta properly, but is almost wholly rural; the largest town in 1t today has only 10000 inhabitants, and the next largest 2.OO0. Formerly the urban pop uiation was much less. As we consider 1t, 1t Is composed almost wholly of plantations. There are th.ckly populated districts, prob ably studded with towns, of as small gen. eral area in the union that have mothered as many tall sons. but it is doubtful wheth- CT any other stretch of as rural territory can in such respect be compared with this. Here have arisen men who have had an earthquake tread. It Is not intended to de- bate whether these men were right or wrong or whether many of them deserve the permanent title of greatness; but that upon this little real stage of life have been enacted scenes of great national interest, by

 In this district were born. reared and here labored the following men: John C.. Calhoun, who twice became vice president twsce secretary of war, once secretary of state, and for a long time a senator, being widely regarded as the most robust char acter that has ever risen up from the south; William Harris Crawford who came nearly being president in 1916, was once secretary of state. once minister to France and for long time senator; Alex ander H. Stephens, vice president of the confederacy, long time a member of con- gress and man of singular ability; Rob- ert Toombs, the "Thunderer," who was the leauer or the southern party with Jefferson Davis during the period just preceding the war. and who, following the elevation of Stephens to the second station in the con- federacy. became the confederate secretary of state; Howell Cobb who was speaker of congress in 1s49. at the age of 34 secretary of the treasury and president of the con- federate constitutional congress; George Washington Crawford, secretary of state under President Tyler: Armistead Burt, served a q In aff ba tirement of Winthrop Preston Brooks, who won an unsavory national reputation from his eaning of Charles Sumner; Herschel V.
