What the Red Flag Meant.
kansas City Starr

A man was out driving one
afternoon and went beyond the
limits Ct Westport. He was jog
ging along the road taking
things easy, more interested III
his lair companion than in the
landscapes. Suddenly he pulled
his horse in. Down the road he
saw a red flag fastened to a poe
stuck in a fence post. He star, d
at it silently for some minutes.
.'What is it, asked his CONS
panion, uneasiIy.
81 can't make it out. Perhaps
it's a rifle range. Maybe they
blasting. Anyhow, it's danger
signal" he replied.
He drove forward cautiously
stopping now and then to look
at the red flag. There being no
visible evidence Of danger, he
proceeded, and saw, hitcheo to
the fence post by a long rope, the
mearest mule III Missouri. 1t
was hump>backed and skinny.
It's loose hide was SCARED and
worn bare III patches. It's ears
were ragged and its eyes were
red. Its hoofs were abnormally
developed. The rope by which
it was tied was short enough to
keep it out of the Iighway-be-
yond that was evidently danger.
An old farmer sat on the fence
in the shade of all apple tree
across the road. What's the flag
for?' asked the man who was
driving.
That flag means keep away
from the mule" answered the
old man.
"Then why in the thunder
don't you tie him up in your
barn or in a feld?" asked the
driver.
THAT mule" replied the
farmer, "is better than constable
or bulldog. See that patch Of
mushmelons? The boys around
here ust to skin that patch most
regular, an I couldn't keep 'em
out. They'd win every dog that
l set to watching 'em. But they
can t win the mule out. J lost SO
much sleep watchin' the patch
that l got nervous prostratlon.
Then | thought of old Bill there,
and We put him out. 1t took six
neightors to do it. He didn't
want the job. I don't know how
we're goin' to get him back
again-shoot the rope in :wo,
guess. But every one about here
knows Bill, an you bet them
melons is safe while he's there.
You see, his rope is Just long en-
ough,to cover the patch. Well
so long

BILL" ANTHONY MARRIED.
The Marine Who Was Captain
Slgsbee's Orderly on the Maine
Weds Under Romantic
Circumstances.

Special from New York says
An advertisement in a paper
here to day announced the mar
,iage in New York, on October
18th, by Rev, F. Il. Smith, Of
William Anthony, sergeant Of
marines, and Adel;a Maude
Blancet.
The bridegroom IS former
Private "BilI" Anthony, who,
when the Maine was blown up,
was Captain Sigsbee's orderly.
Cropping his way toward the
Captains cabin On that memora-
bic night Anthony ran against
Captain Sigsbee. "Excuse me,
sir" he said, Il have to report
that the ship has been blown up
and is sinking.'
Anthony was promoted to
sergeant for his bravery on this
occasion. Among those thrilled
by his devotion to duty was
Adc1la Maude Blancct. She is a
tall, pretty brunette, about
twenty-four years old, native
of Penn Van, n. Y, but has been
staying for several years with
her uncle at II East Seventy
fifth street. For the last two
years she has been employed in
the office Of a large dry goods
house on Broadway.
Miss BIancet wrote to "Blll"
Anthony, conplinenting him
for his bravery.-He received
similar letters by the score,
many from young women, but
Of them all none appealed to
him as did the congratulations
of Miss Blancct. He answered
her missive and soon a regular
correspondence was established.
Sergeant Anthony's duties,
however, prevented his meeting
Miss Blancct until about two
months ago, when he came here
and pressed his suit, and was
soon accepted. Only a few relaa
t1ves and friends attended the
wedding.
Anthony is forty>four years
old and has been in the service
Of Uncle Sam for twenty-eight
years. He was never married
before. Anthony is row with his
marine battalion in Philadelphia
at the peace jubilee, while his
bride is at her unCle's home
here.
