A flag Of standard bunting, such as is
used for street decorations and in club
rooms. costs anywhere from S25 70 $40.
flags stretched across the streets in DO

These are made on frames, six or eight

weeks to finish a large flag. The con-

AN ILLUSION.

Twilight falls DER the woodland.
And the sun has sunk to rest;
One by one the stars come stealing
AS the light fades IN the West;
The birds have ceased their singing
Making all the world seem still,
Save for the splashing waters
At the fall beyond the mill.

And in fancy 1 can see
A shadow in the moonlight,
For she's waiting there for me
Aye, she's waiting for her sweet

for the Fourth OF July celebrations
Since May dealers have been sending
flags out by tens OF thousands The
manager Of one large factory in New

that city alone every Fourth OF July
Decoration Day is scarcely out OF the
way before the business for the Fourth

Decoration Day are left In cemeteries,
and Of course are not available for the
national holiday. The most popular nag
for the general trade is a little muslin
affair. about one foot square. which sells
in thS candy stores for 5 cents. They
are popular with children because they
are cheap. Picnic parties and political
organizations like them because large

are sold by the gross at a price that
gives them 10 the retailer at less than
