fired and the sentinel ordered the captain
70 tie up. This was done. The manager
and Capt. Posey found the commander of
the Fort and stated to him that the boat
had entered the mine fields before s

wharf and reported that the commander
had answered. that the Mosely had enter
ed the mine fields before o'clock and
should be allowed to proceed. Manager

FLAG DAY.
Observance I'm the Public Schools
Tomorrow.

| Observance in the Public Schools
Tomorrow.
The observance of Flag Day in the pub
lie schools of the District tomorrow will
be marked by that intense patriotism to
which the events of the present war has
keyed UP the feelings of all, both young
and old.
No general program has been arranged,
but all the teachers have planned for
special exercises, to consist of recitations
and tho singing of national songs by the
children AT the Force and Southwest
schools more elaborate exercises will be
held. in which all the pupils will partici-
pate.
The red. white and blue emblem will
float from all the windows of the build
ings, and the children will carry flags
galore.
Since the Inauguration of Flag Day in
the public schools. four years ago. at the
instance of several chapters of the Sons
of the Revolution, there has been an in
crease in the intensity of patriotism in
the minds of the children, which this year
will burst forth greater than ever. The
war has given an impetus to the study of
geography in all the schools, and
maps of Cuba and the other scenes of ac-
ton are suspended on the walls of the
rooms. These maps have been closely
studied daily by the pupils, and the prog
ress of the Army and Navy followed by
the teachers.
AS a result, patriotism without bounds
prevails. and the children now, more than
ever. understand the meaning and his
tory of the glorious red, white and blue.
But short sessions will be held In the
schools, and the Flag Day exercises will
begin at / o'clock.

A Baked Bonnet,

During o recent rainstorm q society
woman was caught in sudden down.
pour and was compelled to run home in
very undignified haste. Her dignity,
however, wasn't damaged as much as
her bonnet. The latter had been q
dream Of beauty when she started out.
It was a perfect nightmare when she
reached home again. She thought that
little heating would bring it about all
right. The kitchen fire had gone out,
but she put the bonnet in the oven and
prepared to build the fire. Just as she
had got all the materials together the
doorbell rang. 1t was caller. The Wis
itor was a great gossip and she had .
brand new bit Of scandal to tell The
two women became very much absorbed
In their chat During the course Of it the
servant girl, who had been out for the
afternoon, returned and passed back into
the kitchen. About an hour later the
two gossips in the parlor began tonotioe
queer odor coming from the, kitchen.
The truth Of the situation suddenly
flashed upon the hostess who immedi.
ately rushed out into the kitchen. There
she found to her horror that the Rirl had
built the kitchen fire and her lovely
bonnet lay in the oven roasted to q crisp.
