The Marine Flag.

The revenue marine service flag, au-
thorized by act of congress March 2.
1799, was originally prescribed to ''con-
sist of sixteen perpendicular stripes.
alternate red and white. the union of
the ensign bearing the arms OF the

the number of states which had been
admitted to the Union at that time.

Not Much OF a Snowman.

The showman's little boy had a

"Sayw he exclaimed at last. "Noah

that Noah succeeded in gathering to

a KINGS POEM.
Autograph Verses by James 1. In Z
Book owned In Boston.

Autograph Verses by James L. In .
Book owned In Boston.
An interesting volume in the Boston
Public library is Montaigne's "Es-
says" printed early in the seventeenth
century, which was owned by James
l., the English king who was SO largely
responsible for the publication of the
accepted version of the Holy Bible.
The book is the first English transla-
ton of the great French author and
was made by John Florio, friend of
many of the famous Elizabethan writ
ers, including Shakespeare himself,
who drew several suggestions from it's
pages for well known passages In his
plays.
The Boston library copy has a mod
ern binding but the ancient fly leaf is
preserved on which is written the fol-
lowing poem, in King James auto
graph:
Here lyeth nakit to the anatomie
OF my fraill HART, humane devitie
o trust the Almychtie. lyk the Almychtie's
word
o put on me thy robe as guhylom lord
Thou putest once more me in thy blest
beliefe
And in my souill thy secretst law engrave.
The queer words and quaint spelling
are characteristic Of early Scotch poe
try, which King James, as a Scotch
man himself, took great delight in
writing, and perhaps the average reader
will have no more difficulty in decipher-
ing the royal meaning than in making
out page In a modern Scotch dialect

The skeleton sleigh is also intended
for one person, who, however, does not

with the tips Of his toes, to which are

The Swiss sleigh, on the contrary, is

a THOUGHTFUL BOY.
How He Tried to Learn the Time
without Weakening Hts Father.

Without Weakening HIS Father.
Kenniboy Is sometimes very thought.
ful of other peoples comfort, although
sometimes he is not. He has one very
bad habit, his papa says, which is
waking up at half past o'clock or ear
lier every morning and insisting upon
making remarks. His papa is usually
the one to whom these remarks are
made, and of course listening to what
Kenniboy has to say makes it neces-
sary for him to wake up and brush the
cobwebs off his wits. Once or twice
Kenniboy has been scolded for inter
fering in this way with other peoples
sleep. He has been told that he NAV
talk all he pleases, but that it must al
ways be in whisper, SO that his papa
and mamma shall not be disturbed,
Having this lesson in mind, one
morning Kenniboy, having walked at
the usual early hour. was rather curl
GUS to know just how early It was.
Leaning over his papa's ear, he whis-
pered softly into it, Papa. what time
is it?"
So soft was the whisper that papa
never seemed to hear it, but slept
peacefully ON, and SO Kenniboy tried it
again..
Papa, look at your watch and ten
me what time it is, please" he whis-
pered.
This time papa was awakened.
"Oh, dear, Kenniboy," he said, rub
bing his eyes sleepily, "I'll never grow
beautiful If you wake me up out of my
beauty sleep this way every morning."
II didn't mean to wake you up," said
the boy.
"But you were talking in my ear"
returned papa. "How could you expect
to do that without waking me?'
II wasn't talkin'. was only whis-
perrin" said Kenniboy. II wanted you
to tell me what time it is, and 1 whis-
pered SOS you could tell me without
wakin' up!'

A DOE That Aslxed For Ala.

Nero was walking up Border street,
East Boston, limping badly. When he
got to Masons lumber mills, the doors
of which are always open. he entered,
approached one of the men and held
up his injured paw. Nero has not a
very pleasant looking face, and the
man did not offer to touch him, but
called on him to "go out" The dog
walked as far away as the door and,
turning around, came back and again
held up his wounded foot. The man
stopped his work and, gently taking
hold Of the paw, found safety pin
imbedded deeply in the flesh. He ex-
tracted the pin, the dog wincing at the
pain, and when he got it out the dog
licked his paw and then fawned about
his surgeon. Shortly afterward he took
his departure as if nothing had hap
pened.-Boston Herald.
