A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

LII you want to sell list your prop
erty with the agent whom you
think will do business for you most
satisfactorily-oDe to whom peo-
pie come to buy-one who adver-
tises literally, far and wide, for
customers, and treats them right
when they come, and one who will
show your property to the custom
ers.
II you want to buy, go to the
same one-he knows titles. You
want clear title.
If your property or life is not
insured you are taking chances
long ones. Most of us can't af-
ford to take them. If you cant,
go to the agent who knows the in
surance business and is RESPONSE
bic citizen. Don't fear you won't
get the lowest rates-he don't let
business get away from him by
charging more than others-that
would be ridiculous.
Loans made when security :s
satisfactory.
Deeds, mortgages, leases and the
like, drawn skillfully on short no.

What could be more tender in SEN
timent, or beautiful in expression,
than the following lines from a poem
of Mary Louise Chitwood:
IF a pilgrim has been Swallowed
By a tree that / have nursed;
IF a CUP of clear cold water
I have raised to lips athirst;
If I've planted one sweet flower
By an else too barren way;
If I've whispered in the midnight
One sweet word to tell of day
If in one poor bleeding bosom
/ a woe-swept cord have stilled
If a dark and restless spirit
l with hope of Heaven have filed
If I've made for life's hard battle
One faint heart grow brave and
strong
Then, my God, / thank thee, bless
thee
For the precious gift of song.

NO TABLES Oh CHAIRS.

In some Turkish households west
r habits have become adopted in
recent years to some extent, but the
more conservative families follow
the customs of their ancestors. In a
conservative household in the sui
tan's dominion, whether rich or
poor, tables and chairs find no place.
AS a substitute, in the middle of the
room there is a large wooden frame
a foot and a half high, where the
family, that is, the masculine repre-
sentatives, assemble to dine. Cush-
ions are placed for them on this
frame and they sit tailor fashion in
a circle around a large tray. Accord
ing to the financial condition of the
family the tray is of wood, plate or
silver, and on it is placed a capacious
bowl around it sauoers containing
sliced cheese, anchovies, caviar and
sweetmeats are arranged, with COB
let's of sherbet, pieces of hot, un-
leavened bread and lockwood spoons
interspersed.
Each one of the company is sup
piled with a napkin, which is spread
upon his knee, but knives forks or
plates do not appear, the food being
dipped in the central dish with the
aid of a spoon and the fingers. To
roll a morsel of food between his
fingers and put it into the mouth of
a guest is considered as an exhibit
ton of good manners on the part of
a Turkish host.-Ex.

was fine discipline for the mind TO

this plan for some time, and am
pleased with the results. I usually
take a few minutes before retiring

GOOD-BY TO MOTHER.

A recent writer on the early Quak-
+ say that the mother of the
famous Isaac Hopper, when he was
leaving home to begin life, said:
GAS to manners, remember, boy,
thou wilt never meet a man in the
world whose place in it is higher
than thine own-Or ~JOIUer."
The son who was going out into
the world was then only fifteen
years old. How many boys of that
age would have wisdom and tact
enough to form a code of manners
on the great fact of the equality of
men as children of God?
The Spartan mother had but a
narrow duty TO fulfil to her depart
ing son. He had but one business in
life-to fight. At parting she gave
him his shield and babe him hurry.
"Return with it, or upon it," Life
is more complex in these modern
days. Brute courage is no longer
the only virtue, or the highest one
that is now needed in the struggle.
One of the most successful men of
business in this country once said to
a friend: "When I left home, a
poor boy, to begin work, my mother
said to me, Come back to me with
clean hands, Joe-with clean hands ;
and with Gods help, I have tried to
keep them clean for her"
A picture by a famous artist was
exhibited at the Worlds Fair in
Chicago, and was constantly ur-
rounded by silent crowds, whose faces
showed how deeply it touched them.
It showed the kitchen of a farm
house; the son of the family was
starting out to begin life alone the
wagon was at the door his little box
was packed ready 80 be carried out.
His mother, a poor, worn woman,
held her hands upon his shoulders,
looking straight into his eyes. There
were no tears in her own. She had
no time for tears.
"What will you do out yonder?"
her eyes asked, with desperate plead
ing. "Will you remember your home
and your God? Will you come back
to me the honest, good boy you r
now?"
Thousands of men looked on that
picture. They seldom made any
comment on it but hardened faces
would grow tender, and keen eyes
dim as they looked. Before each of
them another woman's face rose,
the mother whom he had left long
ago, who had built such high, fond
hopes upon him. What had he done?
Had he kept faith with her?
In the background of each of our
lives there is such a shadowy, wait
ing face-the mother who gave IS
life, at whose knee we prayed, who
believed in US and loved Is as no one
else has ever done.
What can we tell her when we
meet again? Have we kept faith
with her?-Youth's Companion.

HOW THE STARS AND STRIPES CAME
INTO BEING.

~ @N~
The early history of our great flag
Is very interesting.
1t is a matter of record that during
the early days of the Revolution the
colonists made use of flags of various
devices.
1t is nowadays generally accepted
as a fact shat the final idea of the
Stars and Stripes as a national flag
was borrowed from or suggested by
the coat of arms of Gen. George
Washington's family.
In the spring of 1777 Congress ap-
pointed a committee authorized to
design a suitable flag for the nation"
This committee seems to have con-
sisted of Gen. George Washington
and Mr.. Robert Morris. They called
upon Mrs Elizabeth Ross of Phila-
delphia, and from a pencil drawing
by Gen. Washington engaged her to
make a flag. Mrs. "Betsy"R Ross was
a milliner whose principal customers
we're the Quaker ladies. She came
from good colonial stock. The story
goes that during this call at that
little old building at 239 Arch street,
Philadelphia, Gen. Washington, after
explaining his drawing to Betsy
Ross, directed that the stars be six
pointed ones. Mrs. Ross objected to
this, and argued that the stars in the
sky seem to have but five points.
Following her argument by a practi-
cal demonstration, she folded a piece
of paper, and with a single clip of
the scissors cut out a perfect five
pointed star. This was too much for
the committee, and without further
argument Betsy Ross prevailed.
This flag, the first of a number she
made, was cut out and completed in
the back parIor of her little Arch
street home.
It was the first legally-established
emblem and was adopted by Con
gress, June IA, 1777, under the act
which provided for stripes alter
nately red and white, with a union
of thirteen white stars in a field of
blue. This act read as follows
"Resolved, That the flag of the
United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white that the
union be thirteen stars, white in a
blue field, representing a new con-
stellation."
Words in those days were few
actions were rapid, and spoke loudly.
In May, 1777, Congress made an
order on the Treasury to pay Mrs.
Ross Ella 12s. I'd. for flags for the
fleet in the Delaware River, and a
contract to make all Government
flags.
Because of the admission of Yer
mont and Kentucky, the flag was
changed by an act of January 13,
1894, which provided that after May
1,1795, the flag of the United States
should consist of fifteen stripes and
fifteen stars.
But in 1918 the flag was re-estab.
lished as thirteen horizontal stripes,
alternately red and white, the union
to consist of twenty stars, white in a
blue field, one star to added to the
union on the admission of every new
State, such addition to be made on
the 4th day of July succeeding such
admission. This flag went into effect
July 4th, 1918, and remains the pres
emit regulation national emblem of
the United States of America.

MAKING APOLOGIES.
Selected.

Observation has taught me that
guests as a rule do not see what in
the ewes of the hostess seems TO call
for apology, writes Helena Fl.
Thomas in Good Housekeeping for
August. I recently called upon q
woman of culture and was greatly
enjoying her vivid account of a trip
abroad, when she suddenly came to
a pause, and in a shocked tone ex-
claimed: "The maid neglected TO
dust that piano! Why, I could write
my name upon it !" Then from see.
ing through her eyes the beautiful
scenery mine had never rested upon,
was called back TO the drudgery of
life when the truth was that my
back was toward the piano, and so
1 should but for the apology have re-
NAMED in ignorance of the neglect
of the maid. The call, which might
otherwise have been wholly uplift-
ing, ended in complaints.
The most enduring lesson came to
me from one who, under the most
trying circumstances, refrained from
making any apologies. This sensi-
BILE woman at hat time l did not
count as a friend, though I had long
known of her as a gifted woman,
and had one had the pleasure Of en-
tertaining her in my home, when
she was delegate to a convention.
Finding myself in her home city, l
thought I would call upon her. When
I halted before the house I saw such
an obstruction of plaster and debris
that I was about to turn back, but d
workman near the open door said ::
If you are looking for Mrs. A, I
will call her"
"Oh, DON'T" exclaimed I, think
ing mot at home" would be the re-
suit, but the man evidently knew
the he was working for. He
bounded off, and an instant later the
lady appeared at a door back of the
parlors, which were being replas-
tered, and with d warm welcome
written on her face, exclaimed ::
This isn't the sort of reception you
gave me, but I am delighted to @
YOU, anyhow" AMI then, when I
was drawn into a room OvercrOwded
with furniture, what cared l for the
lack of order, in view of such a well
come? had expected TO go back to
the hotel to lunch, but I forgot to
note the flight of time as I conversed
with the mi who was superior
to trying circumstances, and never
shall | forget how, with a roguish
smile she reminded me that it vas
lunch time by putting his query:
Say, do you like hasty-pudding
and milk?"
When I unthinkingly responded in
the affirmative, she exclaimed {:
Then you must share my lunch
with me, for otherwise I shall be
alone. Now don't make excuses, for
you will be doing me a real kindness
TO stay" could not resist the in
vitation, which was evidently so
HEARTFELT, and from that visit and
simple meal dates a friendship which
has extended over long years,
cemented at a time when almost any
housekeeper would have excused
herself from seeing anyone.
Truly ga lady is q lady under all
oLrcumstances," and eve is this
more in evidence than when, in place
OF futile apologies, she gives a heart
to-l Welcome.

"There was never a dearer grandma,

He kissed her, and he smothered her
snowwhite hair;
Then fixed her rufaed cap,
And nestled in her lap,
While grandma, smiling, rocked her
old armchair.
"When I'm a man what things to

That nobody might hear:
