Why Courthouse Flag Was at Half

Everyone in town noticed the courthouse
flag this morning, but no one could learn
why IT was at half-mast On Flag Day. The
morning papers had not chronicled the death
of amy illustrious parsonage of any high off,
cial, and the wonder was-great. Chief Jani-
tor Christie could not explain. He demand ii
of the two men why the bunting was not
run to the top of the staff instead of being
halted half way up. They blandly informed
him that there was not rope enough Mr..
Christie made some picturesque remarks and
then went and bought some rope.
