the thirteen stripes just as they are
this day; but it also had the crosses
of st. George and ST. Andrew on the
blue ground in the corner.
There is no satisfactory evidence,
however, that any flag bearing tn~
union of stars had been in public Use
before the resolution Of June 1777. Tt
is not known to whom the credit of
designing the stars and stripes is due.
1t is claimed that Mrs. John Ross,
an upholsteress, who resided on Arch
street, Philadelphia, Pa, was the
maker of the first flag combining the
stars and stripes. Her descendants
assert that a committee of congress,
accompanied by General Washington,
who was in Philadelphia in June, 1776,
called upon Mrs. Ross and engaged
her to make the flag from rough
drawing which, at her suggestion, was
redrawn by General Washington with
a pencil, in her back parlor, and the
flag thus designed was adopted by
congress.

STARS AND STRIPES HISTORY.

The American congress, in session
at Philadelphia, Pa, established by is
resolution of June IA, 1777, a national
flag for the United States of America.
This resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; thai
the union be thirteen stars, white III

stellatiOn'
Although nearly a year previo IS,
July 4, 1776, the thirteen United States
had been declared Independent, this
resolution is the first Legislative
action recorded relating to a national
flag for the new sovereignty.
The use of the thirteen stripes was
not new feature, as this had been
introduced in alternate white anG

FIREWORKS FOR THE FOURTH.
SKIN GRATING ON A TREE.
Unique Experiment Now Being Tried
in Washington Park.

An experiment in bark grating is
being tried on one of the big poplars
in Washington park, Chicago, which
is being watched with interest by the
botanical students of the University
of Chicago.
The tree which is being subjected to
this unusual surgical treatment is
located in the northwest part of The
park, near the little duck pond ana
children's sand pile. Next to It,
scarcely twenty feet away, is the tree
which is supplying the bark for the
grating.
Both trees are about two feet IN
diameter at the base, and both Were
struck by the same bolt of lightning.
One of them was split and twisted
beyond hope of salvation. The bark
was torn off in great strips from top
to bottom and the trunk of the tree
was twisted and split into long, point
ed sliyers.
The tree being operated upon was
not so badly injured as the other. but
long pieces of bark were torn from it
lengthwise, in some places the ex-
posed strips being six inches broa1.
Beyond the trunk the branches IRE
ripped lengtnwise in narrow streaks
of no material consequence,
This tree the park keepers are TRY
ing to save. The edges of the wound
ed parts were cut clean and smooth
and the bark of the ruined tree cut
into strips to fit the bare places OF
the damaged one. The edges were
carefully matched and adjusted, and
each piece of grated bark treated OIL
the inside with a preparation of tar.
After being SO treated the bark graft
was fixed over the wounded parts
with long, slim wire nails. The re
pairing has been done with great skill
and the injuries are now scarcely
visible, except upon close inspection.
This is the first experiment of tn
kind in the south parks, and as tbs
tree is fine one it is hoped it viii
take kindly to it's borrowed skin.

LESSONS OF PATRIOTISM.

The true object of the celebration
CT the fourth of July is the teaching
of patriotism, and for this purpose
nothing is more important than love
for the flag. A flag should be as
much part of every household as the
furniture, and should not only De
owned, but put out on every occasion
on which there is the least excuse
Another point much neglected is fne
reading of the Declaration of lnde-
pendence, the greatest document III
history of the world. Every boy anc
girl should be fam4nar with it's Words
and Their meaning. We are row
Loerating downtrodden people, anu
We're forced into the arena for thell
defense by this same Declaration OIL
Independence, which gave liberty "
the thirteen original states. It makes
us the champion of the oppressed, the
chosen people of the Lord While we
teach our children to revere inc
flag and honor the constitutions VI
the land, we cannot fail to prosper

THE ARMY MULE.
There's true and faithful comrade
To every soldier dear,

there's true and faithful comrade
To every soldier dear,
Though on the army payroll
His name does not appear;
He's ignorant of tactics,
And never went to school;
He's born to bear the burdens
The good old army mule.
His hair is coarse and scrubby,
His ears are long and wise,
And in a SHOW for beauty
He wouldn't take prize.
The kicks and cuffs intended
For others as a rule
Are vented on the person
Of the patient army mule.
On many field of glory
His shattered bones are laid,
An unrecorded hero
Of charge and cannonade.
The hard and tiresome marches,
The rest beside the pool,
Still find him overloaded
The weary army mule,
But if he gets no credit
On this terrestrial ball,
Tie Power supreme, all-seeing,
That notes the sparrow's fall,
And measures beast and driver
BY one celestial rule,
Be sure will not forget him
Tne poor old army mule.

IT'S not the girl with dreamy eyes,

That man will ever highly prize.
1t is the one who gives him pies.
Though many beauties may arise
And novel pleasures aye devise,
The heart of man forever lies
At feet of her who gives his pies.
AS straight as ever eagle flies,
When sailing swiftly through th
skies,
To manly heart there quickly HES
The luscious flavor of good-pies.
Al fig for those a housewife buys;
A woman true will soon surmise
They never can assume the guise
Of fiaky crusted home made pies.

Is she to whom this song applies
Viz, any woman who describes
The real heart value of good pies.

hitherto always so shaped themselves
that as nationa we have never been

OUR PRESIDENTS.

RcsOI1tIoms of CemKnre.


RcsOLHtIoms of CemNnre.
Andrew johnson was the only preei
dent Of the Cnitcd States ever i'm
pPaChcd, and On the trial before the
senate he was acquitted, the vote In
favor Of conviction barely falling short
OF the necessary tWo-thirdS.
Two resolutions of ccnsure on the
president have been passed, once by
the senate and once by the house, on
occasions When the hostile majority
was not large enough either to pass
measures over the presidents veto or
to inipcach him.
The first was passed by the senate on
March 2S. 1884. censuring President
Andrew Jackson for alleged violation
Of the constitution and laws by his re-
moVal of the government deposits from
the United States bank. The majority
Of the senate was opposed to Jackson
In his war upon that bank, and this
vote OF CenSure was the only thing
they could do about it. Jackson pro
tested against this resolution as n
charge to answer which no opportunity
could be afforded him. The senate re.
fused to receive the protest. Finally,
on Jan. IL, 1897. the resolution Of cen
sure was expunged from the journal
Of the senate.
The second resolution OF Censurc was
In report adopted by the house from
the house committee to which Presi-
dent John Tyler's message vetolng the
tariff bill of 1912 nad been referred.
This report censured the president for
alleged improper use OF the veto power.
Tyler protested against this, as Jack.
son had done before him, but he had.
as member of the senate, voted
against receiving Jackson's protest,
and IN answer to his protest the house
sent him copy Of the senate resolu
ton on the former occasion.
