The EIower Of LIhertv.


What flower is this that greets the
morn,
Its hues from heaven so freshly born2
With burning star and flaming band
II kindes all the sunset land:
0 tell us what its name may be-
Is this the flower OF liberty?
1t is the banner Of the free,
The starry Flower of Liberty!
In savage Natures far abode
Its tender seed our fathers sowed;
The storm winds rocked it's swelling bud,
Its opening leaves are streaked with
blood.
Till, lo earth's tyrants shook to see
The full-blown Flower of Liberty!
Then hail the banner of the free,
The starry Flower of Liberty!
Behold It's streaming rays unite.
One mingled flood of braided light
The red that fires the Southern rose,
With spotless white from northern SHOWS,
And, spangled DER with azure, see
The sister stars OF Liberty.
Then hail the banner Of the free,
The starry Flower of Liberty!
The blades Of heroes fence t round;
Where'er 10 springs is holy ground;
From tower and dome it's glories spread;
IL waves where lonely sentries tread,
1t makes the land as ocean free,
And plants an empire on the seal
Then hail the banner OF the free,
The starry Flowe: of Li0crtyl
Thy sacred leaves. fair Freedoms flower.
Shall ever float on dome and tower,
To all their heavenly cOlors true,
In blackening frost or crimson dew
And God love us as VIC love thee,
Thrice holy Flower of Liberty
Then hail the banner of the free,
The starry Flower OF Liberty!

ing safely over the breakers there.
English friends of the monarchical
principle OF government hold that it
has been strikingly indicated in these
last few months of Austro-Hungarian
history and that upon it depends the
future of that country as federal
power. But for Francis Joseph, they
say, the negotiations resulting in the
renewal of the ausgleich could not
have resulted successfully, and there
fore there would have been no chance,
as there now is, for the executives Of
the two halves of the monarchy,
moved by the threat of an irreparable
imperial calamity, to fall back upon
arbitrary resources as a weapon
against the unreasoning feuds of the
different elements in the state. 1t is
probably quite true that if Francis
Joseph's soothing influence had been
withdrawn the prime ministers would
have drifted wide apart and Austria
Hungary would have broken in two,
with some 25,O00.OO0 people on each
side of the dividing line.
It was stated above that there is
flaw in the Austro- Hungarian consti-
tutional structure. That is certainly
the opinion of students Of the affairs
of the dual monarchy in this country.
The defect lies in an assumption that
does not correspond to fact. 1t is as

turned. A Weather firm than Norton,
Reed & Co. manufactured sweaters
and caps at prices with which they
could not hope to compete. Tom was
in despair, for again ruin stared him
in the face.
One drizzling night a stranger
alishted at the station, took the only
cab the village afforded and told the
driver, Old Bill Streaker, to take him
to Thomas Reeds. On the way they
conversed.
Did you know a fellow who lived
here once by the name of Ned Dalton.
met him out west" the stranger said.
Did | know Ned Dalton? Well,
guess ! did. Every one knew him.
Good hearted as the day was long, but
shiftless. Just about broke Una Per
kins' heart, and played Tom Reed a
mighty dirty trick. Tom and Ned
were chums till Tom fell in love with
Una and then Ned cut him out. Darn
ed If know how he did, though, even
If he was a handsome cuss.
But she got her reward all right.
She and Ned lived a cat and dog life,
and one night he sneaked off to the
gold fields. She never see hide nor
hair of him after that, till one day
she heard he was dead.
Then she married Tom. That's just
about a year ago. They were happy
as clans at first, but they've had
mighty mean luck of late They're
poor as a chursh mouse, they say"
When they got in sight of the
house the stranger gave the old man
a dollar and dismissed the cab.
Lights cleaned from the little cot
tsge. The stranger stood a long time
leaning over the gate, smoking his
cigar Then he threw 1t aside, set his
jaw, squared his shoulders, opened the
gate and walked up the path. Under
the window he paused and looked In.
Tom sat at the open fireplace star
ing in at the FIRE. Una sat at his feet,
leaning against his knee. Her boy,
sprawled at full length beside her,
played with kitten. Una's face was
turned toward the window, and 1t look

Toms hand was resting lightly on her

A cold December rain was falling
but the drops on the cheeks Of the
stranger we're warm. Then he turned
and walked rapidly away in the dark

That was the beginning of Toms
good fortune. Mr.. Norton was inter-

funds. Soon Tom had regained his
former strength and was working all

High School Notes.

The spring term opened with re-
newed determination, and some
excellent work is being done.
Some alight restlessness is discern
able in the room due to the com
bined influence of spring fever and
the strain from the glaring rctlec-
lion of the alkali ON the grounds.
The Juniors held the regular
semi-monthly class meeting last
Tuesday evening. Some business
was transacted, aut it was behind
closed doors, so our reporter failed
to get the details.
A good athletic spirit is being
displayed by the High School Ath-
letic association. The boys are in
regular practice and will contest
with the Montrose boys for field
honors some time in May. Our
school has some excellent material
and ought to win goodly share
of the laurels.
Misses Nina Merrill and Cert.
rude Ashe and Mr.. MEG lashan
spent their spring vacation at their
homes in O!athe.
Commencement themes are well
under way, and give promise of
some excellent orations.
Joe Barton is absent this week.
He says he's broke, and has to
work few days to square ac-
counts.

in the near future the Seniors will

called THE Forty Thieves" by friend

that is all. No one. officer or man. in

from the British war funds. In lieu
Of pay the corps gets 70 per cent Of the
loot, and, II what was seen in June
in Newcastle was an criterion. 1t Is .

There was then . division of the pro-
cseds of their Joint earnings for three
months. and each mans share
amounted to a little more than $500.
The corps gave a ball In the town
hall to provide amusement for itself
and Its friends, and the 100 men then
comprising the command spent 81. 1000
in this entertainment. Nothing was
safe from the rspacity of this gay
gang. and anything Of commercial
value. whether it belonged to friend

quarters. Sometimes the owner could
recover his property II he could show
conclusively his loyalty. but generally
the animals or goods were sent to

Stories Of ather Taylor, the sailors
friend, are perennial in their warm
human interest. He was man who
at all times spoke with an engaging
frankness which sometimes became
more brusque than was desirable. A
banker from the West End of Boston
once visited Father Taylor's church
during fervid revival. and varied
the usual character OF the meeting by
rather pompous address. Its pur-
port was that the merchant princes of
Boston were a very beneficent set OF
men, whose wealth and enterprise gave
employment to thousands of sailors.
and that 1t was, above all. the duty
OF seamen to show their gratitude to
the merchants. At the close OF his
speech the banker was somewhat taken
aback when Lather Taylor rose and
asked simply: ''Is there any other
sinner from uptown who would like to
say a word!"-You;h's Companion.

Prof. e. q. Pickering, the director OF
the Harvard Observatory, announces
what are said to be the first successful
experiments in photographing the
spectrum Of lightning, that is, the d.
visions of colors which combine to
produce the White glare of the light
ming flash and which offer the phys
icfst his opportunity to analyze the
elements that compose it. The photo
graphs. three In number. were obtained
by J. H. Freeze of Harvard at the
observatory last summer, with the
same apparatus that is used in photo
graphing the spectra of the stars. This
: apparatus consists Of an eight-inch or
eleven-inch telescope with a camera at
one end and prism at the other, the
latter being placed in front of the OBJ
tective lens SO as to break up the OBJ
ject photographed into parallel bands
OF color. which are seen In the pho

black and white. The scientific value
OF these spectra arises from the fact
