Libel on American Women.

Some horrid Englishman who has
doubtless been flouted in his efforts
to acquire rich American wife says:
"The modern woman has turned her
body into clothes horse on which
hangs out proof that she has mere
money to waste than her neighbors.
In this respect the American woman
is the chief of sinners. Her insane ex-
travagance has tnoculated English
women, who vainly try to outstrip the
peripatetic oil queen who trails her
skirts over Europe every autumn. The
American woman regards her husband
as a mcney-making machine. He ex,
lists simply to supply her with the
means o. making ether women sick
with envy. She faunts in European
hotels while her husband is Shaving at
home. She has successfully eradicat-
ed all the old-fashioned womanly vir.
tues Of selfsacrifice, tenderness, COM
radeshiI aid motherhood. She is hard.
cold cynical and selfish. The Ameri-
can husband is the most patient and
most generous in the world. That is
why Home, Sweet Home is not a pop.

OLD FENIAN EMBLEM
FLAG THAT WAS CARRIED IN IN.
VAS!ON OF CANADA.
resented to Buffalo Historical Soci-
ETY.. 1t Will Be Preserved as Me.
mento Of That Brief Struggle-is
Torn by Bullets.

A faded green silk flag. with one
corner torn into ri5bCns, has been
placed in the collection of the Buffalo
Historical society. 1t is relic of the
Fenian invaders who crossed into Can
ada from Bu1falo on the night of May
81. 1866, and who had to come back a
few days later, after having thrown
Canada into spasm OF terror. This
flag went through what is known as
the battle Of Ridgeway. which village
is now more familiar to Buffa lonians
as the town back of Crystal Beach.
The flag was formerly presented to
the Historical society by James McEl-
roy, in whose family it had been for a
long time, and by D. E. Mahoney. The
exercises were held in the society's
lecture room. About 200 persons were
present. President Andrew Langdon,
in response to few remarks made
by Mr. Mahoney, said he was reminded
OF an incident that came under his
observation while in the office of the
president of a large New York bank.
1T was during a political campaign,
.nd one of the other officers coming
iHto the room hung up the portrait OF
one of the candidates" he said. The
president Immediately said, Take that
down. We have no politics here It's
the same way with us. We accept
relics whether we approve of them or
not, and we accept this flag for it's
historical interest"
The flag, which was carried by the
Buffalonians who took part in the in
vasion, is nine feet long and six feet
wide. In the upper left-hand corner
a golden sunburst was once painted
on the background of green silk, but
its outlines were destroyed by a Cana
dian ball that tore through the flag
at the battle of Ridgeway. That por
ton of the flag is merely collection
Of tatters now. Running in a line
meath the sunburst are the following
words In golden letters: Buffalo. Sev-
enth Regiment. Irish Army of Liberia
ton Beneath this is the following
Inscription placed on the flag after
the Fenians had returned from Can
ada: "Ridgeway and Fort Erie. June
2. 1866 Occupying the center Of the
right-hand half of the flag is the fol
lowing, also in golden letters Pre-
sented by the Fenian sisterhood of
Buffalo, May 6, 1866" Part of this
lettering is torn, the result of a bull
let.
The flag was carried to Fort Erie,
Ontario with the 900 Fen;anS who
took part in the invasion. After hav,
ing driven the Canadian militia near
Ridgeway to retreat, and then having
to retreat themselves before body Of
Canadian regulars, the Fenians hur-
ried back to Fort Erie While tryi1(
to cross the river the Fenians were
arrested by American forces. Later
they were released The United States
government authorities returned the
torn flag to the local Fenian organiza-
tion.-Buffalo Express.

Buy the best oil.
Fill the lamps by daylight.
Lamps should be kept well filed
Never attempt to light a lamp that is
only partly filed.
Keep the oil can closed and in cool

See that any hanging lamps you may
have are securely hung.
When buying lamps select those in
