Roosevelt, every line of which denotes the

sage was n glorious eulogy paid to old sur

thousands of whom read the message, but
failed to find the eulogy they had heard
others speak Of What was the matter?

Druggists sell the remedy under the

much more convenient and pleasant to

tain no opiate, cocaine or any poisonous

after the outbreak of the war to the Gov
ernment Mt Richmond in response to an
offer of the Confederate War Department
to pay 4 certain sum in gold for q flag de-
sign which would prove acceptable The
specimens pasted in the scrap-boOk are of
various sizes, cOlOrs and designs, some at
lstic, others decidedly crude and unartistic.
Some of the designs are as unique as they
are absurd. A North Carolina lady sub
mitted perfectly white flag of triangular
shape, adding that its snowy hue was en-
blematIc of the purity of the Southern
cause. A fiery LOuisianan sent Il minia-
turc blood-red flag cmblazoned with a
white serpent in the attitude of striking
with its fangs, and below the snake this
legend: Don't tread on me-" Several
paimetto-designed flags were submitted,
ana another snake design, while a man in
South Carolina sent in Il white flag with
horizontal black bars across it, He ex-
planned the meaning of the flag and its
colorS to be that the war would be fought
by the whites of the South to protect their
property, the blacks. An old lady in
Georgia sent vivid yellow flag with the
portrait of Jefferson Davis in its center to
represent Our President basking in the
sunshine of prosperity" Some hot-hcaded
fellow in one of the Southern States for
warded an inky-black flag inscribed with
white letters: "No quarter" and an
other sent piratical skull and crossbones
on black field. There are n number of
other designs on the age-yelloWed pages of
the old Scrap-bOok.
