col. pOSTON'S PATRIOTISM
How He Defended the Flag in Arizona
Forty Years Ago.

An cld-timer tells an interesting
Fourth of July story that is both an
incident C the early days in Arizona
and an illustration of the patriotism
exemplifed in the life of the late Col
onel Charles d. PostCn.
The incident occurred in the sixties
about the close of the civil war. As
most people know, the few white set
tiers in Arizona at that time were mOS.
ly from the south. and the secession
element was very much the stronger.
Either at Wickenburg or one Of the
early day mining camps just above
there lived a family OF which the re-
lat0r WIS then a Very small boy. the
father vas an old-line southern man
and a strong secessionist. His wife
though was q northern woman and III
tensely unionist in her sympathies.
They kept the hotel, if ii might be dig
! nfied by that name. CT the place where
the men who preferred to board rather
| than cook their own bacon and beans
got their meals. 1t was therefore the
headquarters for everybody in the
camp. On the 4th of July the mistress
Of the household fished out from the
bottom CT her trunk a little American
| flag and caused it to be placed on the
roof of the house. IS scon as her hus-
| band noticed it he proceeded to climh
/ up and tear the emblem down. His
wife not only felt hurt, but her Yankee
spirit burned within her. Not many
miles away was stationed a detach
ment of United States troops ever
which Colonel Poston at that time mad
some authority by virtue Of his being
superintendent OF Indian affairs in Ari-
iona, and the colonel happened to be
with them at the time. The heroine OF
the story secretly dispatched mes
senger to Colonel Poston telling him
what had transpired. BY neon he was
on the ground with a little squad of sol
diers. Colonel Poston took the flag
and climbing to the roof again unfolded
the stars and stripes. When he return

STRICKEN DOWN
Absolutely No Excuse for It.

II 4 little ordinary precaution was
exercised during hot weather the death
rate would not bound up as it does.
The papers are daily filled with ac-
counts of strong men and women cut
of in the VigOr of youth. and the num-
Der of little ones carried to early
graves is simply appalling.
AS far as the adults are concerned,
the trouble is usually gulping down
ice water and numberless so-called
cooling drinks. The terrific shock
is more than the stomach and heart
can stand. The wonder is that the
number of deaths is not greater.
One of New York's leading special
lists said. over s. per cent OF cases of
diarrhoea and bowel complaint, cspe-
cially il hot weather. could be aVerted
