GAVE THREE LUSTY CHEERS.
when we see on the nearest Flagstaff
the stars and stripes, brilliant and
beautiful as the debutante in the first
flush Of social success. We forget about
the noise. We only remember that we
are citizens of the greatest republic the
world ever knew, and We know that
any disturbance we may hear is in
honor Of that flag which is floating
above us. We are proud Of it.
And then. as the day grows apace
and all that it means is borne in upon
us, the words of genius come back to
US and we say to ourselves that nature
herself shows US that the United States
will never be sundered. France has
the lily. England has the rose. Scotland
has the thistle, Ireland has the sham
rock. All these have their day ana

ands of people say that it does not
protect them when away from home.
It has been said in mass meetings
that it was no longer the flag Of the
free. And yet there is not one of those
who make the remarks referred to who
would not fight in minute for that
same flag if any one beside an Ameri-
can citizen spoke against it.
A singular fact concerning the Amer
lean flag and the people over whom it
floats is that with all reverence for it
they are dreaGfully irreverent with it.
The flag is something to be cheered
and saluted and honored in every way,
but when it is worn out it is cast aside
and a new one substituted. Nobody
knows and nobody cares where the
worn out ones go to. Sufficient to the
day is the fact that they have served
their purpose.
This by no means refers to the bat
tie flags. No, indeed. If there are
only three inches of red, white and
blue, and single star remaining at
tached to the staff of such a banner,
the people think infinitely more of it
than they would of the finest thirty
foot flag that was ever made. The
poor old rent and tattered banners all
have a meaning. There is history,
tragedy, romance and sometimes hui
NOR among the memories OF the dear
old relics. Let any one who doubts
that pay visit to the state house at
Hartford, Conn, that staid Cid town,
where it used to be against the law for
a man to kiss his wife on Sunday.
Manufactured old farmers come in
and view the cases where the flags are
located and presently, if one cares to
watch, there will be distinct evidences
Of moisture and the dew On the grass
OF June morning was never more Ge-
lightful than the dew of patriotism that
really springs from the heart of the
American citizen. whether he be old
and Manufactured or in the flush Of
youth.
When We wake up on Fourth OF
July morning, those of us who have
passed beyond the delightful time Of
a. m. and firecrackers. We are often
disposed to make sundry and pointed
remarks about the noise that We hear.
But when we gather ourselves together
and get to the window and look out;
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1898-06-30

distance, then we realize that the day
Of days is at hand. That is why the
star spangled banner is in the minds
Of everybody.
The orators with silver tongues nave
told and the poets have sung about all
that is great and glorious regarding
the old flag. So much for patriotism.
Really, the flag is very prosaic bene-
At, apart from the sentiment that at
taches to it. Thousands and thous-
ands of people gain their living, from
one years end to another, in making
United States flags. Think of it. Ev-
cry year, the people of the United
States buy three millions of flags. Dur
ing that same period a million flags
disappear. Nobody knows where they
60 to.
The American flag has just passed
its one hundred and twenty-irst birth
day. The patched up affair that Bet
sey Ross gave to the world at the time
Of the revolutionary war has been re-
produced millions of times. Yet tho
only change from the design that the
expert fingers of Mrs. Ross prepared
Is In the number of stars. 1t is just
the same flag in appearance that dec
Grated the hall in which the first con-
gress Of the United States met. It
is finer flag now in point of material,
and almost any sort can be bought that
one Is willing to pay for, but whether
It b silk or paper, it is the stars and
stripes, the idol Of the people, whose
fame increases with the addition of ev-
cry star.
And all the time we think Of the
poetry and prose of the flag. If any
reader of these lines has ever visited
. foreign country, has been stranger
in some far away place over the ocean,
he may remember the feeling of joy,
Of pride, almost rapture that came to
him when he first saw the stars and
stripes floating over the consulate.
The writer remembers some years
ago walking down the Bots de Bou-
logne in Paris. Just ahead of him
was regulation man of the world, and
yet something about him indicated that
at one time or another he bad lived in
America. He walked slowly down the
avenue until all of sudden, from the
second story Of a building at the right.
there was flung to the breeze the silk
en- folds Of beautiful specimen Of the
American flag. The man Of the world
saw It. In second his silk hat was
on his head, and despite the onlookers
he gave three as lusty cheers for the
stars and stripes as ever came from an
American throat. AS the writer reach
ed him, he turned about and with tears
rolling down his cheeks, said, x
did not know that the sight Of any
thing could touch me like that" And
then he cheered again.

TIE REVOLUTIONARY WAN.


Recall the camp, and spread before
mine eye
The pitch of battle and the triumph
there.
The summon'd plowman grasps the
ready gun,
And swiftly strides across the fur
rows sod;
The smith, ere half the heated shoe
is done,
Swings on in haste, and rides the
steed unshod.
The mason filings his glittering trowel
by,
And leaves behind the pale and
weeping few.
The miller's wheel above the stream
hangs dry.
While DER the hill he waves the
swift adieu
10, all the air is throbbing to the
drum;
In every highway sounds the shrilly
fife;
And flashing guns proclaim affair they
come,
Where hurried banners lead the way
to strife.
Though rude the music. and the arms
are rude,
And rustic garments fill the motley
line,
Yet noble hearts, with noble hopes i'm
bued,
Thrill through the ranks with ener-
gy divine;-
Thrill through the ranks until those
sounds become
Celestial melodies from freedoms
lips!
These arms an engine to strike despots
dumb,
And leave oppression bowling in
eclipse.
Then comes the struggle, raging loud
and long
The seven years battle with the
banded foes
The tyrant. and the savage, and the
strong
Grim arm Of want with all its direful
woes.
Half clad and barefoot, bleeding where
they tread,
Where hunger and disease allied con-
sort,
The pale survivors stand among their
dead,
And brave the winter in their snow
valid fort.
But heavier than the storms which
fold the earth,
Than all the ills which winters hand
commits,
The bitter thought that at the sacred
hearth
OF unprotected homes some horror
sits.
But God is just; and they who suffer
most,
Win most: for tardy triumph comes
at last!
The patriot, bravely dying at his post,
Hath rivaled all the Caesars Of the
past.
Right conquers wrong, and glory fol-
lows pain,
The cause Of freedom indicated
stands;
And heaven consents; while. staring
DER the main,
All Europe greets us with approving
hands.
II now a film o'er-swim my aged gaze,
Or If a tremor in my voice appear,
It is the memory of those glorious days
Which moves my failing frame and
starts tear.
Oh, on this sacred spot again to rest.
old heart faints!
Then depart, with a contented breast.
Where they are walking crown'd
among the saints.
Here on the steps. made holy oy their
tread,
list their kindling voices as o. yore;
And hear that bell, now hanging ,
speeches., dead,
Which rung for freedom, broke. and
rung no more.
Broke with the welcome tidings On its
tongue.
Broke, like heart, with joys ex-
cessive note,
lis well no cause less glorious e'er
hath rung
In silver music from its hallow'd
throat.

sinin By HIS Daughters Lover.
Charles Taylor, a prominent farmer
of Jefferson county, was shot and killed
by j. N. Mckinney near Redfield on
the 9Th inst. Mckinney, who was a
renter from Taylor, and the latter's
daughter, had determined to get mar
ried, despite parental opposition, and
were on their way to Redfeld when
they were overtaken by Taylor. The
irate father levelled shotgun at Nc
Kinney and fired, but missed his mark.
Before Taylor could fire the second
barrel Mckinney emptied load of
buckshot into his breast. The body of
the dead man was left in charge of a
farmer near the scene of the killing and
Mckinney and Miss Taylor proceeded
on to Redfeld, where they were mar
ried. After the ceremony they told of
the killing and gave themselves up to

Crops and Weather.

The crop report for the week ending
October IL, shows that cloudy weather
on four days of the week with frequent
misting rain, together with abnormally
high temperatures on every day of the
week, served TO further degrade and
damage cotton. Following are the
amounts of precipitation for the week:
Brinkley. OBS inches; Forrest City,
trace; Fort Smith, 0.03; Helena, 900;
Little Rock, 0.sS; Malvern, o.63; Pine
Bluff, 049; Prescott, 300; Russellville,
1.54; Texarkana, 0.99; Warren, 1877.
With the exception of Clay county in
the northeast section and a few locali-
ties in the southwest section, the re-
ports of serious damage to cotton
are general. The injury consists in
seed and lint rotting in the bolls; seed
sprouting and the lint being beaten
out on the ground and soiled. Worms
are eating the leaves from the cotton,
but in its present stage this is not consid-
cred detriment to the crop; very little
has been picked during the week. In
many places the ground is so soft that
it will not support the corn stalks, and
that which is down is rotting; corn in
the shock also is rotting; the fields are
so muddy that it is impossible to gather
corn. Peas have been injured through
rotting and sprouting. Turnips, sweet
and Irish potatoes are doing well in
most places.

Railroad Building.

During the nine months of 1898, end
ing September 80, there was CONSTRUCTED
in Arkansas 1870 miles of new railroad.
Only three other states during this
period leads Arkansas, namely: Mime
sofa, with 166 miles: Texas, LAT miles,
and Alabama, 145 miles. Louisiana is
next to Arkansas, with 100 miles. With
an almost certainty that work will soon
be commenced on the Choctaw & Gulf
extension to Little Rock, and the COM
pletion of other lines under construc-
ton, Arkansas win in all proba bility
lead her sister states in the number of
miles of new railroad built during 1888.
