A HANDSOME POST LEGEND.

James Il. Morris Post, 46, Department of
New Jersey has placed in its hall piece
of work which combines in high degree
both utility and beauty. If this piece of
work was made OF bunting or netting it
would probably be called a banner, but as
it is made of galvanized iron, banner does
not seem to be exactly the right word to
describe it. However, it expresses a ia
miliar legend in several lines of metal let
tiers, which are incl0sed i'll nearly a semi
circle nine and one-half feet wide at the
