Governor Stanley, Orator of the

WHERE PIKE PLANTED FLAG.

CORTLAND, -Kans., July Son the
Fourth Kansas dedicated the site for
The monument to commemorate the
hauling down of the Spanish flag
within the boundri.s of the state and
the substitution of the American flag
therefor. Governor w. E. Stanley was
The orator of the occasion.
In 1906 Lieutenant Pike reached the
capital of the Pawnee republic in his
expedition through the newly acquired
Louisiana purchase, and seeing the
Spanish flag floating he ordered it
hauled down. He told the chiefs of
The republic that they could not have
two great fathers, and that they must
select either the sovereignty of Spain
or America. At the same time he
threw out hint that to refuse the
sovereignty of America meant fight.
The chiefs accepted his suggestion and
raised the American flag.
The last legislature made an appro-
priation for a monument, and this was
the occasion of the official acceptance
by the state, from Mrs. Elizabeth John
son, of the site of the Pawnee village.
An immense crowd listened to Cover
nor Stanley's speech of acceptance and
dedication.
The monument will be erected in
time to be unveiled on September %
next, which is the anniversary of the
raising of the flag by Lieutenant Zebu-
lon Pike, 95 wears ago.

1t was a shock for Kennedy. tie
had almost completed sorting out the
letters to be delivered along his peat
when he came on that one addressed
TO Nora Dillon. He recognized Tie
chirography instantly. He had seen
1t many times. The letter had peeh
written by Bertram Ryder. Ryder was

a passion quite incommensurate Win
his pay and his prospects.
Not that this latter fact would maj
ter if they really loved each otner'
So far Kennedy had not dared TO put
his affection to the test of declara-
ton. But he had been screwlng MS
courage up to that point for weeks
and-although he was far from pelhs
a conceited fellc--he had felt that
he was being encouraged by the pretty
daughter of The prosperous contractor
| on Elm avenue.
If only she would come to the door
for the mail today, He would watch
he--would notice her acceptance OF
the envelope addressed by Ryder. Tine
thought spurred him to activity. Hs
fastened through with his work as
| rapidly as possible, and went trudglng
off on his afternoon delivery, his we'll
packed bag slung over his shoulder.
The glare of early summer lay hot
and yellow on the city streets. Crowds
Of well-dressed people were coming
| and going. The laughter of children
mingled with the silver dripping OF
a fountain in a little green square.
But Jim Kennedy could only think OF
| one opening door, which framed
straight, young, girlish form in gay
little gown. That was one or the
things which had first attracted him
to Nora Dillon-the fact that her pref
ty, bright garments. pink and hello
trope, and azure seemed somehow TO
suit well her swift, sunny smile and
laughing blue eyes.
Kennedy's bag was considerably
lighter by the time he turned into
Elm street. His heart was beating
hard when he reached the comfortable
home of the billions. He rang the bell,
and stood waiting, the letter in his
hand. He could hear the light, famll-
far step he had learned to know and
listen for coming along the hall with
in, and suddenly the door had swung
back, and she was standing there, fair
and radiant in her crisp white gown,
her slim, erect young figure clearly cut
as a cameo against the soft green
gloom of the interior.
Good afternoon, Miss Moral" He
snatched off his cap, and stood look
ing down upon her. "a letter for you
this time"
For me?" she laughed, and held
out her hand. II don't get many let

Jim did not offer to go at once In
stead he stood in the same attitude,
his keen grey eyes striving to read her
thoughts-her every motion. He was
conscious of sharp tightening in his
throat at sight of the blush that way-

Pittsburg, Pa, July "A definite
order for general strike of all union
sheet steel workers was issued by Pres
ident T. J. Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers. There are over 10000 men
affected by this order, and every mill
operated by the American Sheet Com
pany where union men are employed
all over the country will close indef-
initely or until such time as settle
ment of the matters in dispute has
been reached.
The officials of the American Sheet
Steel Company refuse to discuss the
troubles with the worlmen.
The Amalgamated Association asked
that non-uuion plants now operated by
the combine be turned over to the
union and be governed by the same
rules as the union mills. The officials
of the company declined to consider
the proposition at all
The strike order in general will take
from the non-union plants all union
men working there, as we'll as from the
union mills. The men explain their
demand for the unionizing of all the
mills of the combine by stating that
last year the combine had taken advan-
tage of the situation in it's having the
non-union mills operating first and
leaving unorganized mills stand idle
until the pressure of business forced
them to start.
1t was resolved by the men at the
time that such a chance should never
occur again for the company. That it
would be either all union mills or all
non-union mills. To gain this point
no change in the scale was asked, but
demand for unionizing all the mills
was made definite

welcome in their home. More than
once Mrs. Dillon had permitted her
daughter to go out with him. He had
every right to invite her. Just because
Bertram Ryder had written her a let
ter, and that she had colored con-
fusedly at sight Of 1t, was no reason
why she would consider his attentions
welcome.
A soft, warm, dark, rainy night II
was. Kennedy, about to cross over tothe
II ted home of the billions, suddenly
stopped-drew back into the shadow
of tree. For the door opposite had
opened, and two people were distinct
ly revealed in the lighted vestibule.
He recognized Nora. And that man
with spare form, and slightly STOPPING
shoulders-of course that was Bertran
Ryder.
He could hear the clear voice Of the
girl speaking with cordially.
Don't you worry, Bert!" she was
saying. You can trust me to arrange
affairs so that no one will suspect.
What's that? I'm an angel? Oh, no,
I'm not" There was a ripple of
laughter. Goodbye. Till Tuesday.
theni"
Jim Kennedy turned on his heel,
and went home, sick at heart. 1t was
the little maid of all work who opened
the door to Jim when next
day duty forced him to ring
the door bell of the Dillon
domicile. And on the day following he
found himself waiting there rebellious
and miserable. with another letter from
Bertram Ryder in his hand. This time,
although it was Nora who eagerly
opened the door, and stood as If wait
ing for him to speak, he only lifted
his cap formally, handed her the let
ter, and turned away without word.
And as he strobe angrily off, his
smouldering jealousy was famed to
fresh flame by the sight of Bertram
himself coming jauntily up the street.
1t was evident that he had received
leave of absence, for he was in his best
civilian attire, and looked particularly
sanguine and joyous.
Halo, old fellowr' ne cried, and
would have stopped Kennedy, but that
individual jerked free from the friend
ly hand laid on his arm, and strobe on.
Ryder looked after him in dismay, but
the next instant he had caught sight
of Nora. He sprang up the steps.
There was no need to send that
last letter, but I was afraid they
would not let me off, The old man was
very kind though, when 1 explained
the situation. Heavens, Nora, what's
the matter? You're white as a ghost"
Nora's reply was distinctly feminine.
She sank down, and burst into tears.
By the time he had succeeded in
wrestling from the girl the story OF her
sorrow. he began to divine the reason
of Jim Kennedy's sudden GOODNESS to-
wards himself.
I'll fix that" he assured her. Gust
as soon as this little affair is over
before we even leave town, I'll fix
thati"
He was as good as his word. That
very evening he hunted up Jim Ken
nedy sitting moody and detected in
his lodging house.
Look here, JIM" he said. things
have got into snarl. and I'm here to
untwist them. I was married this af-
ternoon-"
