Colors Wrong Side Up.

Miss Nellie Regan, young teacher
in charge of q flock of youngsters at
little red school house near Croton, re-
ceived an unexpected visit from Sen
ator Depew, on Tuesday. according to
the Yonkers Statesman. Mr.. Depew
was driving from the Croton railroad
station to Palmers Fotel. AS he passed
along the highway lie saw the school
house, and looked to see il the flag
was flying. The emblem was waving
in the breeze, but MIR. Depew noticed
that the Stars and Staripes Were upside
down. The Senator climbed up the hill
to the school house. The children We're
at their studies. Miss Regan came to
the door. My dear Miss, please ex-
cuse me-" said the Senator. as he stood
smiling, hat in hand. IL was passing
this way recalling the scenes Of my
childhood days among these beautiful
hills and valleys Of yours, when l no.
ticed that the flag in front Of your
school was upside down. In my Of
fetal position l feel that 1 have q right
to inquire about it," II know it's all
wrong" stammered the young teacher,
calling Mr.. DeDew by name, "but I
couldn't help it. The halyards We're
broken, and we couldn't hoist it right
side up. So rather than not have it up
at all, the boys put it wrong side up"
Mr.. Depew called Miss Regan brave
American girl, and said that she had
the right spirit. Then he made a
speech to the children. telling them of
the Importance of patriotism and the
significance of the flag.

that for more than two years there was

Invasion of Canada.

The "American invasion" of Canada
is assuming proportions that are al
most alarming to those who fear the
future domination of settlers from the
States. 1t is estimated that in the first
seven months of the present year over
5000. 600 acres of land in Manitoba and
Northwest Canada have been pur-
chased by citizens Of the United States.
A recent issue of the Medicine Hat
News says: "rhe influx of settlers to
the Canadian West is simply wonder
full. At Medicine Hat we are in a po-
sition to size up the great incoming. es-
pecialiy of Americans, as we see here,
daily, train load after train load Of
would-be settlers, bringing with them
carloads of miscellaneous effects

stuff. The rush of settlers Is unprece-
dented, and is taxing the railways to
the limit to handle the business in con-
nection with their trade"

A DEVELOPMENT Of the Editor.

An essay on ''The Boston News.
papers in the Boolman throws some
light on the Development Of the mod
ern editorial. The earlier newspapers
had no editorials. Attempts to mould
public opinion took the form of letters
signed "publius,' "Junius' and like
Latin names. such, for instance as the
letters which make up the FederalSt.
The writer in the Bo0kman claims for
Boston the honor of originating the
present editorial form. The Boston
Daily Advertiser and Repertory, the
first successful Boston daily, was
founded in 1913. and the next year
passed into the hands of Nathan Hale,
nephew of the SPY Of the Revolution.
Hale began to substitute leading arti
cles written in the Office for those for
merly furnished by the stalwart
Romans, "Fabius," "Honestus," NOV
Anglus," "LacO" and "Massachuset-
estus." The fashion set by the Adver-
tiser was widely copied, and at length
became general. Mr.. Hale came to
take such pride in his innovation that
when distinguished men like Everett
and Webster offered articles for use as
editorial he insisted on printing them
as communications. Only the staff
men We're allowed to write the regular
editorial comment.

Specky would run off with it to an
other corner of the yard and gobble il
all up himself.
Mother Hen soon found out this
greedy trick Of Mr.. Specky, and so one
day when she found nice juicy worm,
instead Of giving it to him. she called
little Topknot.
Topknot ran off with her prize and
all the rest of the chickens after her.
Specky Went, too, you may be sure.
and because he was stronger than the
rest, he pushed through and grabbed
hold of that lovely worm.
Then all the little chickens were
scared, for they knew that he was
much stronger than Topknot and
would soon get it away from her. Sc
they all grabbed hold of Topknot's
end and tugged away, five of them
pulling against one.
/ don't know how it would have
ended, for Specky was very strong,
but Mother Hen saw the tug-of-war
and with angry clucks she marched
over to the struggling chicks.
Poor Specky! She gave him a peck
that sent him flying. and away tumbled
the others over backward. And then
Mother Hen ate the worm herself,
after all!-Brooklyn Eagle.

THE ship COMBINE

NEW YORK, June 20.-A cable to the
Herald from London says: The British
shipping combination, which intends to
compete with the Morgan syndicate for
North Atlantic and Pacific freight and
passenger business, is now practically
consummated. Many reports of the for
nation of the new syndicate, more or
less accurate, have appeared during the
past week. Today the following details
are learned on good authority Sir
Christopher FuTness is to be the head
of the new combination. 1t is to be
capitalized at 100000 900. The Cunard
Company is included in the deal. The
British government has agreed to large
ly increase the present subsidies, while
Canada promises at least 100000 year
ly. Six large passenger boats capable
of twenty-five knots an hour will be
built also a dozen siXteen-knot freight
ers, at an aggregate cost of $S,5OO,OOO.
The entire capital, is is said, has been
underwritten. One well-knOwn CAPT
talist who offered to take up a big
block of stock, was told that the whole
amount has been subscribed. On
the Pacific the main idea is the utili-
cation of the Canadian Pacific as the
chief link in a chain bringing Austral-
asia, India, China and Japan in nearer
and more intimate touch with England
providing an all-British route shorter
than any at present available.
