Commodore Schley in speaking OF the
bravery of Lieut.. Hobson and his little
band of seven men, said: "History
does not record an act of finer heroism
than that Of the gallant men who are
prisoners over there. / watched the
Merrimac as she made her way to the
entrance of the harbor, and my heart
sank as I saw a perfect hell OF fire that
fell upon those devoted men. did not
think it was possible one of them could
have gone through it alive. They went
into the jaws of death" How it was
possible for men TO escape death under
such circumstances remains mystery,
unless we cOncede that these brave men
were under the protection of Divine
power,

Bro. Specll OF the PemberYille Leader
has the following to say about the re-
turn OF Confederate flags: "A good
many daily newspapers are urging the
return OF the Confederate flags to their
former owners, on the ground that the
war OF the rebellion is "a thing of the
past and in order to encourage the boys
in gray who are now marching shoulder
to shoulder with the boys in blue
The leader doesn't believe in such 9
demonstration. The proper thing tc
do, though, if the North wants to be
'magnanimous,' as they say in wal
times, is to destroy the flags. Whats
the use of reviying an old flame by re
turning the flags? The strife between
the North and South should be forgot
ten, and the way to do is to destroy the
Confederate flags. They should never
be returned. Such an act would d,
more harm than good"
Very true! Those flags have beer
kept too long. They should have beer
destroyed when the cause which the!
symbollze was destroyed. With thu
death of the rebellion all evidence o
its existence should haYe been wipet
out.

If only we had loved them more,

If only we had loved them more,
Our lost, whom never love can reach,
Who thrill not at our tenderest speech,
Nor answer, though our hearts implore.
If only for one little day,
One day of days, they could return,
How would our grateful spirits yearn
To lavish treasures on their way
Our feet to serve them, ah, how swift!
Our hands how gentlel and our eyes
How clear to see, should shadows rise;
Or griefs their perfect gladness rift.
Too late! Come back no vanished hours;
But, living and beloved, there still
Remain sweet friends. Be ours the will
To strew their path with thornless flowers

for Squire Green. AS the Squire had
been seen to vote there was no doubt
that he had voted for himself.
There was some question whether
Peter Nally, Josephine Naly and Mrs.
Nally had been legally elected; but as
there were no salaries for the positions
into which they had been voted and as
the whole town laughed at the shrewd
ness of Peter-Who insisted upon giving
full credit to Josephine for the ability
she had shown in holding her tongue
and keeping her secret-the Nally ticket
was duly declared to have been elected.
Squire Green was so chagrined that he
had nothing to say. There was not as
much inspecting to do as Peter had
expected, for the people of Slowville
were well behaved; neither was there
chance for him and his family to live
on the fat of the land, as the phrase
goes, without paying anything for any
thing.
But the people of the town gave
grand picnic in honor Of Peter and he
and Josephine had so much candy,
cake and ice cream to eat. and ate so
much, that they were both sick for
week. The Congressman from that
district freely predicts that Peter will
be great politician and is even will
ing to say that he thinks that Peter
has a right smart chance to be Presi-
dent of the United States some day if
he keeps on as smart as he has
started" Josephine and Josephine's
father and mother think that he is
great boy-if not a great man, and his
father says that ''the boy is father of
the man." which means that the boy
will often show by his actions early in
life what sort of a man he is going to
be.
Since the election Peter has traded
off the Nally family election cards for
all sorts of things that he has wanted
a coaster, a top, some marbles, a foot
ball-and he has enough left to get him
a jackknife and a soldier cap, besides
enough traders" to gather In all of

and pa, and you and ma. and oh, 1t will
be great 1 tell you"
Election day arrived and proved that
Peter had guessed the ambition of
Squire Green out. The voting was done
at two places. At both there were reg
ular election cards on which was the
name of the Squire, who appeared to be
running for all the offices. Election day
was a holiday and all the school chill
dren were at the polls ready to see what
election cards they could get. No one
had any except Squire Green-or at
least none were visible excepting those
that he showed. He gave the cards out
proudly-they had his picture on them
until they were all gone. This hap
pened early In the morning. The news
soon spread through these cards, that
the Squire had "bolted the ticket" and
that he wanted to fill all the offices
himself. There was much Indignation
among the friends of all the young men
who had hoped to be the newly elected
officials. They held a meeting and
closed the door. From some place of
concealment Peter crawled out and
began to hand to each of the young
men an election card which made them
all laugh. This was how it read:

PUZZLE-GUESS WHAT is IN THE BARREL

to see that the people were not run
down by bicyclists on the one sidewalk,
two hundred feet long, which the town
boosted; that the milk should be pure;
that there should be no germs on the
molaSSeS candy and icecream; that the
rates for horses and carriages to let
should be satisfactory and such as
should induce immigration from the
frost-bitten East; in fact, that there
should be enough regulations and reg
ulators to furnish honorary jobs for
enough persons to make a brave ap-
pearance by the number Of their names
upon Slowville's first issue Of election
cards.
Peter Nally, being only II years
old, was not at the town meeting, but
his father was and told him all about
1t. Hardly had Mr.. Nally stopped talk
ing when little Peter slyly beckoned to
his sister Josephine to follow him
around the house to a big tree, where
they frequently met to plan mischief.
A great idea had suddenly taken root
and sprung UP in Peters mind, and Jo-
sephine saw signs Of something I'M
usual in his expression and she has
tened to follow him. Here is what Peter
told her:
Now, we want to keep all these Of
fees in the family-every one Of them,
mind-but we will have to work quietly
and as still as mice, and don't you ever
say word or you will be sorry.
Josephine promised secrecy. What
good will it do?" she asked.
Good" calculated Peter with the ac-
cent on the word which showed his dis
gust that Josephine should not see all
his great scheme all at once, DO?
Why, don't you like candy and buggy
rides and bicycle runs and doesn't
ma like fine bonnets and ice cream?
And don't you want to have us all
bosses of something? Bah! a girl can
never see a thing first off. When we
are all the inspectors we can get all
the candy and ice cream and buggy
free, just as Susie Green says that her
sisters husband, who is a policeman,
does in San Francisco. I tell you that
would be great.
Wouldn't that be like begging?"
asked Josephine timidlys
Begging nothing-p er6ysites of Of
fee, the policeman told Susie. I'll bet
that Susie's father thinks that he will
be elected to do all the inspecting and
that he viii be the Pooh-Bah of this
town, as Uncle Jim says. But he win
not-no, nifty, nit"
WELL" asked Josephine, who did not
see how this was to be brought about,
not knowing much about elections or

politics, except that when there is an
election both parties say that the time
to save the country has at last arrived
and that they are the ones to do the
saving, how can l help"
There is no time to lose, answered
the crafty boy. Get ma to let you go
to San Francisco to visit Cousin Nellie
next week She will do that easy, be-
cause Cousin Nellie has offered to pay
your fare whenever you Will come.
Leave the rest to me and say nothing
and it will all come out right"
Josephine felt like a conspirator when
she asked to be permitted to make the
visit and her conscious guilt made her
face so flushed that her mother saw
that something was the matter and
said:
Il am afraid that you are going to
be sick, Josephine. for you look as if
you have a fever coming on, your face
is so red"
However, Josephine was permitted to
go to see Cousin Nellie. She was act
ing under instructions and she pre-
vailed upon her mother to let her take
the largest valise in the house to carry
her clothes in. Like as not" said
Peter, Cousin Nellie will have a lot of
things to send to US and it will be well
for Josie to have room in the valise to
bring them"
Cousin Nellie's husband is a San
Francisco printer and has a large es-
tablishment with lot of men working
in it. Before Josephine started on her
return journey to Slowville, Cousin
Billie, the husband of Cousin Nellie,
gave her a large package, with instruc-
tons not to open it, but to give it to
Peter and to say nothing about it.
Josephine carried out her instructions
to the letter. Peter smiled gaily and
whispered the first time that they were
alone: 1.-The scheme is working fine

A ways been ready money to re-

Elsie had earned her wheel herself.
and now she determined to earn enough
money to mend it. She was sure she
could do it. but the problem was now.
Ten dollars is a good deal to earn When
you have to think first how to earn IL
She pondered on the subject for some
weeks and at last decided to write a
story.
There always seem to be topics IN
plenty when you are reading short stor-
les, but some way when you try TO
write one the topics all fly away. Elsie
tried very hard to think of one. AT
last she began to write. 1t seemed
very interesting to her as she wrote,
but when she read what she had writ
ten it was not satisfactory at all.
Then she tried another subject and
made the story longer, but 1T proved
too tedious. In this way she wrote sew
eral stories, but with each she was dis
satisfied and at last became discour-
aged.
One day, soon after Elsie had given
brother, was missing from home at the
usual time after school. He had al
ways been prompt and this was very
puzzling. He had never even limited at
running away. Mrs Fraser, thinking
he would come home before dark, wait

THE CLEVER
COLT FATS \
BY EVA SANDERSON.
SAN FELIPE.

IN ATSY is small light brown colt,
j about six months old. Perhaps
you would like to know how we
got her. If so, I will tell you.
Well, one day when I got home
from school l found my sister Laura
in a state of great excitement. We
had a neighbor, Mr.. Dunno by name,
and one of his mares died, leaving a colt
not three weeks old.
Mr.. Dunno brought the colt down to
Laura in the morning and told her that
he would make her present of it, pro-
vided she would take good care of 1t
and feed it regularly every day. Laura
promised, and Mr.. Dunno rode away.
Laura kept her promise faithfully,
and when Mr.. Dunno again came to
visit us the colt was prancfng about
quite gayly. Papa told us that when
the colt was about three years old If
we sold her we would get at least $50
for her, but Laura declared she would
never sell her pet.
One day when mamma went to the
schoolhouse to see the teacher Patsy
followed her to the school yard, into it
and up to the steps.
OF course, all the children wished to
go out and see Patsy and, it being re-
cess time, the teacher let them.
They had been playing with her a.
very short time, when she suddenly

this in the bottom of the box. Your

a beautiful little gold watch.
What a beauty" exclaimed the little
girl, snatching it up. You did give me
something pretty after all, you dear old
papa. You put it there for a surprise,
didn't you? Thank you ever so much.
It is lovelyi''
Il did mean ii to surprise you" said
papa, gravely, "but when you gave up
the box of candy you gave up the
watch. Mary should be rewarded for
her honesty. So give her the watch,

~ course it is all right to get all
/ the election cards that you can.
That means a. great deal-when
you consider how many school
children and their younger
brothers and sisters there are to
collect them. If the school
children Of San Francisco have an
average of one hundred cards each,
they have accumulated only six mill
lions of cards, which is why l would
encourage them to do something worth
talking about during the few remaining
days while the candidates are suffi-
GENTLY full of hope to keep the printing
presses going and turning out their
names and portraits upon smooth and
clean rdboard-fOr mamma to pick
up and put in the fire after election.
I am writing this to tell you all about
the great scheme which Peter Nally
and his little sister Josephine had in
connection with election cards They
lived in a little town which had one
candy and icecream store, one toy
store, doll shop, one bicycle rink one
livery stable, one millinery art room,
one dentistry-or place where the lit
tie children enjoy or have chance to
enjoy having their teeth pulled after
they have spoiled them eating too much
candy. In short, the town is small, in
the country, where every man, woman
and child is known by all the inhabi-
even race all the year through.
SlOWville never had seen any election
cards until Susie Green brought home
q lot from San Francisco, where her
married sister lives in a frame house
and looks out of her parIOr window
upon a city grocery store which main
tains watering trough for horses to
drink out of as one of its proudest
boasts. The election cards showed the
country people that there were a lot
Of officials in San Francisco. Susie
Green's father is a rich man and is
called the squire at the town meet
ms" which shows that he is the leader
Of many men and many minds. Mr.
Green looked the cards over and had a
town meeting held without delay for
the purpose of calling to the attention
of the people of SIOwville how slow
they really were. There he made
speech which was 50 convincing and
1ong-it took him an hour and half
to get through the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
when he sat down it was voted to do
just what he said. This was to have a
set of inspectors. without salaries, to
keep the good old town straight. A
committee was named to prepare list

The baby stopped crying when she
saw her father and Elsie was sent to

Del" said papa, sternly, this is a
piece of folly. But if you repent Of it
don't blame me-"
Repent of giving candy away? I
guess not" said Del, and nothing more
was said on the subject for several
days, during which time Del carried
herself with an injured air and scarcely
spoke to her father. On the third morn
ing, as the family were about to seat
themselves at the table, Mary came in,
saying:
Here, Miss Del, is something found
