Once Was EnOugh.

The young man who was trying to
make the st. Joe boat was about two
minutes late as be tore along River
street. He could see the steamer hands
casting off the ropes as he drew nearer,
and. humping amazed citizens out of
his way. he rushed for the dock. The
gangplank had been hauled in. and the
nose of the steamer had swung six
feet out into the river when he finally
reached the waters edge. But that
did not deter him. He was going to
spend Sunday in Michigan or know
why.
With giant swing he tossed his va
lise aboard and then jumped for the
steamer He caught rope and post
and held fast. Every officer on the
boat expected to see him drop into the
river, and bells tangled noisily as the
captain peered over the side. When he
saw the intrepid passenger was safe,
the captain was twice as mad as if he
had dropped into the water. Shaking
his fist at him angrily. he yelled:
"Here. you, by Jimmy crickets. don't
you ever do that again"'
The passenger had hauled himself
aboard by this time and. turning q
look of scorn at the captain. said:

The Blood Red Banner.

Royal and national colors vary with
nations and times: but since Cain slew
Abel blood red has been the sign of re-
volt. In the earliest revolt known to
history, when the Persians rose against
their king 1000 years ago, they were
led by a blood red banner. and during
the riots which took place in Paris the
men in the blood red caps were follow
ed by the mob.
A blood red flag waved over Bunker
Hill when the Americans fought us for
liberty. and it was the emblem of the
German peasants in their great upris-
ings in 1924. 1892 and 1925. Blood red
was the color of the trade union flags
during the middle ages. and it formed
the background of the emblem of the
Swiss confederacy in 1915.
Through the whole of French and
every other national history those
striking in their own ways for liberty
have worn the blood her cap and hail
ed the blood red banner as their leader
1t is a curious fact that never has q
monarch chosen it as his color. 1t has
been left sacred to revolutionists.-Lon
