pose, and wonderment gave way to
another emotion, as his mind leaped
from that past, with it's covert, inner
life, to the untrammeled moment when
she had thrown off the mask in the
solitude of the forest. Had some deep
er chord of his nature been struck
then? Their aspirations of a Kindred
hope had mingled in the majestic
psalm; a larger harmony, remote from
roundelay, or sparkling adenza, that
drew him to this Calvin maid. A
solemn earnestness fell upon his
spirits; the starlight bathed his brow,
and he found the mystery of the night
and nature inexplicably beautiful.
..Afar the bell of some wanderer
from the herd tinkled drowsily, arous-
ing him from his reverie. The horses
were ascending; the road emerged into
a plain, set with bracken and gorse,
with here and there a single tree,
whose inclining trunk told Of storms

The time for argument, she urged
was past. The matter could not be

words of an English editor regarding
the use of the flag in advertisement:

The queens lace Handkerchief new
er caused half 50 much trouble as has
the little cotton affair that the first
lady in the land sent not long ago to d
ladies' aid society in Texas. 1t will be
remembered that the handkerchief was
termed, in the unreStrained language
of the big Southern state, "a cheap
cotton rag of the tWO-fOr- quarter
kind" Speeches that glowed with fiery
Southern eloquence were delivered in
defense or in condemnation OF the aid
society's attitude. The entire territory
south of the Mason and Dixon line was
agitated. In fact, the only side not
heard from in the matter was Mrs.
ROoseVelt's side.
But it seems that the lady was mere
ly biding her time. AT any rate. rumor
has II that d local society recently
begged her for a handkerchief for it's
bazaar and that the presidents wife
refused. The society didn't even have
the comfort of her autograph. for the
refusal was made through Miss Hag-
ner, the social secretary. The st. Paul
ite who contemplated purchasing at a
spring bazaar a handkerchief that was
originally purchased with money be-
longing to Mrs. Roosevelt will be dis
appointed. The clubs motive in seek
ing to secure such a handkerchief was
a praisworthy one, of course.
Inc DIT OF cambria would have fetch
ed high price. But just why anyone
should wish to pay a big price for a
handkerchief contributed by a person
in high station seems not 50 easy to
explain. If the Roosevelt handkerchief
had any curative power, If, for in
stance, a few applications would van
quish a cold in the head or subdue the
high polish of a shiny nose, the pur-
chaser would. of course, display wis
dom. But it has never been discovered
that contributed handkerchiefs" pos
Sess such power.
One cannot blame Mrs. Roosevelt for
declining to send a handkerchief when
she knows that it may be subjected to
the criticism offered the Inflated mau-
choir sent to Texas. Not being able to
distribute real lace handkerchiefs, the
only sensible thing to do was to refuse
to distribute any

DefiIement of the EIan.

The preservation of the American
flag from dissertation was the last sub
Ject taken up by the recent Continental
Congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the report of the
committee having the matter in charge
having been adopted just before the
sine die adjournment, after most of the
delegates had left the convention.
This report, presented by Mrs. Fran
ces Saunders Kempster, of Milwaukee,
showed most satisfactory results from
the efforts of the society along this
line.
For three years." said Mrs. Kemp
Ster, we struggled alone to rescue the
flag from the contamination Of trade.
from shameful street brawls and riots
and from the insults of the vicious and
depraved. We were met at every step
by criticisms from our fellow workers
of the Sterner sex. Our plan was too
drastic an impossibility,' a hindrance
to all flag legislation. Now, members
OF various organization to the number
of hundreds of thousands, unite in
absolute accord, urging congress to
enact a law substantially that pro-
posed by the Daughters of the Ameri-
can revolution six years ago. Statutes
enacted by twenty-five states conform
generally to the provisions of the bill
submitted by us to congress in 1897,
and national legislatures contain in
some form those three provisions for
which we asked, namely, the prohibit
ton of the use of the flag for adver-
tsement, for forbidding of the attach
ment to 1t of devices or inscriptions
and the Furnishing of those who treat it
with indignity, or wantonly injure or
destroy it. All previous bills provided
only against advertisement"
Regarding the effect of such legisIa-
ton, Mrs. Kempster said that the mat
ter was not one of mere sentimental.
ism. Even enforced reverence had its
influence on the character, as might
be seen by the ardent loyalty to the
flag engendered by the rules of the
army and navy. Here life itself is
counted as nothing compared with the
honor of the flag, and in the reports of
the color guards are found such entries
as these:
Three color bearers killed and sew
eral wounded; colors kept aloft."
Five times the flag went down; five
times raised" Every sinking of the
