began the second stanZa In voice
without the least quaver. The old
man did not sing now. He stood be-
side her, with one arm still around her,
and nodded time with his snowy head
and gently waved the flag above the
singer.
When Louisa Mays voice died away
after the last lines. the applause was
deafening. While 1t was still at Its
height her grandfather stepped to the
edge of the PLATFORM, holding the flag
aloft. When he could be heard he
called out shrilly:
Everybody join me in singing the
last two lines! Come, now, everybody

"And the star-spangled banner in triumph
shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the home OF
the brave"
The Governor himself congratulated
Louisa May, and handing her the beau
tiful little silk flag he had been holding
in his hand, he said:
Let me give you this to remember
me by"
Louisa May thought she never could
be any happier than she was during
the rest of that day, but she felt much
the same way three days later when,
ON coming home from the strawberry
patch, she found Grandpa Hatfield
waiting for her in the hall. He flung

new piano.

Willie has five fingers
On each boyish hand;
Willie likewise has ten toes
Upon which to stand.
But a doubt comes DER us,
Tear drops dew each eye.
Will he have so many
On the 9Th Of next July?
Willie has Two eyebrows,
Each in proper place;
Has his ears and cheeks and chin
Safe upon his face.
And we fondle Willie
As we softly sigh,
"Will he still possess them

The White Lily u Symbol.

Of the many species of lilies grown
throughout the world the white lily OF
the Orient has the oldest history as a
cultivated flower. Its origin is supposed
to be in China. but long before the days
when annalists took cOgnizance of the
cultivation of flowers it was common
throughout western Asia and Greece. II
is the lily generally referred to in the
Hebrew Scriptures, although commenta-
tors say that 1.-The lilies of the field"
spoken of by Jesus in the sermon on the
mount were the red anemones. with
which all the hills of Galilee are dotted
in the spring. In heather Asia the white
lily was the emblem of purity. The
Greeks had myth that it sprang from
the milk of Hera. queen Of the gods, with
whom the Roman Juno was afterward
identified. The Greeks also held the lily
to be the highest type of purity. In the
early centuries of the Christian era the
new religion made this idea little more
sublime, and the lily became the symbol
of heavenly purity. Thus the lily is hit
tingly associated with the Easter cere-
monies.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

as she bounded into the room where
Nellie Vance sat in a tangle of white and
gold and green silk floss, busily working
Easter lilies upon an immense square
IF snowy white linen. And truly, though
Angela was a connoisseur in art needle
work, the piece of work in question
might have evoked a like exclamation
from one less enthusiastic; for Nellie
was an expert needlewOman, and long
practice, added to an artistic tempera-
ment, had made her a past mistress of
the art of embroidery. The lilies shone
with a satiny luster against the dull
background of the linen and the delicate
green of the leaves, with their perfect
standing, stood out in beautiful contrast.
while Greek border in dull pink and
gold completed the effect.
Thanks. Angela" said Nellie, but
