Here are preserved the cannon balls fired
by Lord Percy up into Boston, which

cover large official envelope. Cover the out
side with anything your fancy suggests tmine

side n atty with white paper and this will cover
the edges OF the outside cover which Is folded
over the edge. The covers being ready, take six
official envelopes, or as mary more rs you please
make hole through the bottom or about two
inches from the bottom and an equal distance
at the upper part from the top, also through the
covers, tying both with baby ribbon. This
forms book that you can open. Then take an
inch ribbon to match the color of the other and
print newspaper clippings" on IL and fasten IL
santwfse across the front thus making an orna.
mental as well as useful affair. My cover being
dark, 1t is finished ia white ribbon and at the
beginning of 1902. d. v, ] shall put that date
on the fret envelope All my clippings Of that
year shall put In that envelope and of the
second year in the next one, and so on. making
1t very convenient diary for future reference.
When those are filed. the envelopes can be re.
moved and laid away aud new ones put IN.

cans to victory at Saratoga, Sept. 8, M
On that day the thirteen stars were ar
ranged In circle, bat now there are
forty I've stars arranged in rows, for there
are thi,ty-two more states than on that
victorious day.
This good old flag has bonored men and
has mourned them. When our martyred
President Mckinley died, the flag mourned
the loss When Admiral Dewey visited
New York aud Boston, the flag honored
that brave hero.
"Long mag that banner wave
Ger every soldier's krayo,"
and may il wave from every staff through
out our country.
England has tried to crush down the
flag, but has failed. Spain tried II once,
aud got enough OF II, and so did Tripoli
and got the same medicine. Mexico and
the Southern states tried 1t but failed
also. And l hope that sii nations who
try to whip the nation who owns this
glorious flag, will get what Spain got.

 William NJ. Tweed did many remark able things during his chequered ca reer in and around New York and while in exile, and it must be admitted he left many forcible reminders of his reign in the big city. The origin of the tiger as an emblem of Tammany is said by w c. Montanye, coffee and spice dealer in New York, to date from the time when William NJ. Tweed. then foreman of the s:Big Six fire company. took fancy to a picture of a royal Bengal tiger in his fathers store in the fifties. Tweed adopted the emblem for the Americus club, and it soon was accepted by all Tammany. Tweed had the tigers head woven in the cen, ter of the parlor carpet of the Ameri- GUS club in it's club house at Green wich, Conn. and it was painted on the old hand engine of Big Six.

 fAs I was dressing myself in a Cleveland hotel,'' said New York ad- vertising man who spends much time on the road, "I noticed that one of my shoes needed repairs. The sole was pretty thin. As the day was bright, and there was no probability of rain, said to myself that would make the shoe do duty until got home. "On my way to the train I noticed a sign reading 'Sole-Saving Station. It was a small sign, attached to slender post, in front of cobbler's shop. A com monplaee advertisement four times as big should have passed unnoticed. but the sign was so clever that went into the shop, where the shoemaker mended my shoe before the train time. He was intelligent, like most shoemak- CTS, and, I suppose, a dyspeptic. as most of them. But I did not inquire about that. hurriedly congratulated him on his sign, paid him. and rushed from the sole-saving station to the railroad station.''
