est ingenuity being required on several occasions to secure the necessary ma~' terials for the banners.
 Madame Wooster and Mrs Roger Sher- man made the first national flag used in the army, for the Connecticut troopss from their own dresses.
 What became of the first flag made hy Mrs. Ross is not known. but in the Na- 1 tional Museum at Washington Is the first American flag ever hoisted over ship of war. It was unfurled by the famous Paul Jones. E The flag was presented to President Mckinley by Mrs. R. P Stafford, a iineal descendant of Bayard Stafford, a young officer who served on the Bon Homme Richard" and the Serapis'. when Jones commanded. He saved thiS first American flag unfurfed on the water at the risk of his own life. and Captain Paul Jones presented him with the colors. Paul Jones's flag was made in Phila- delphia by the Misses Mary and Sarah Austin. and they failed to put the thir- teen stars on. the field of blue according to the design given by Washington Co Betsy Ross.
 After Betsy Ross's descendants ceased using the little house and store in Arch Street, Philadelphia. as flag manufac- tory, ft was rented for various uses. and few traces of the original maker of the flag remained fin her old home. Indeed, 1t was in grave danger of being ragged q few years ago. when patriotic citizens, with true sense of the importance Of preserving the old landmark, set about agftatinE the matter of having the house made Government property, and making 1t subject of national consideration.
 They organized the Betsy Ross Me- morial Association, which has it's head quarters in the Flag House.
 The money for the purchase of the house and land is being raised by sub scription fund. to which every citizen of the United States can contribute.
 The memorial association has the op-A ton of the Flag House property, with the right to purchase within i've years for the sum of s25.e0O. As the place is of national interest. every State, city and township in the Union is given an equal opportunity to share in the work of ra.s- ing the $25.0o0.
 No person can contribute more than 10 cents, and for this dime he receives certificate which proclaims him a part required has nearly been raised.

"Flns for Ceastlna."

A New York bicyclist was making
q little tour of New Jersey on his
wheel recently. He was in territory
altogether unknown to him. Finally
he came to the top Of q hill which.

Gus. He was Just about to dismount
when his eye lighted on a conspicuous
sign, Fine for coasting!" Breathing
. sigh of relief and of thanks that the
town authorities should be so thought
full in matters of interest to wheel
men. he lifted his feet from the pedals
for q comfortable coast. For the next
few hundred yards he travelled at EN-
pire Express rate and several times
narrowly escaped nasty spill. Only
magnificent steering and a cool head
saved him. When at the bottom OF
the hill he once more regained control
of his wheel, he leaped to the ground
and to an astonished policeman he
hotly expressed his opinion of peo-
pie who would put up such a mislead-
Ing sign.
The policeman explained that the
sine for coasting" down that hill was
SO, but inasmuch as the young man
had mislnterpreted 1t he would re-
train from arresting him.

TRUE TO HIS Principles.
Excellent Example Of Pessimism In
North Carolina.


. DR.. Charles D. McIver. president
of the North Carolina State Normal
and Industrial College, told story Of
rural pessimism at a dinner given by
Robert C. Ogden In honor OF the Gen.
eral and Southern Education Boards.
There was once a North Carolina
countryman," he said. who had an
Idea that gayety was synonymous
with evil. an idea that he inculcated
into his family life. 1t came to pass
that the man committed murder and
was sentenced to be hanged. Now.
In that part of the world the only
chances for amusement were In going
to hangings or travelling circuses.
When the day on which he was to be
executed approached. the condemned
man wrote a note to his wife. saying:
Don't let the children come to the
hanging. ! know you'll be there. but
do please keep the little ones away
ITO this the wife replied:
"Tt's just like you to ask what you
do. You never did want the children
to have any fun"

A Courtlx Pralate.

The Duchess of Marlborough. who
was Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt. took
tea on one of the warships engaged
in the sham battle on Newport during
her visit to America last summer. A
young naval officer narrated the other
day a story told him by the duchess
on this occasion.
"She said to me-" he began, that
the custom of saying grace before
meat seemed to be dying out every.
where. and. she added. apropos Of
this. that she had entertained bish-
op shortly after her settlement in
England, and the question of the omit
ted grace perplexed her not little.
However, at the first meal which the
ulshop partook of at Blenheim palace
no grace was said. The duchess apol.
ogized for this. but the prelate, smil.
ing and bowing, said:

MANY PARTS. IN A DRUM.

Best In the World.
Americans are the greatest drum
mers in the world, and they make the
finest drums. Chicago and st. Louis
have large factories, but In these all
kinds of drums are made, most OF
which are of the cheap variety and
low in price. There are only three
factories In the United States which
make the kind of instruments manu-
factured in this city. These drums
are distinct from the others In that
they have a sharpness of tone re-
quired only in orchestra and band
work.
The drums that are used in corps
and in military work musthave tone
which is duller, and the drum must
not be SO sensitive to the touch. Drum
making is a curious industry. and as
complicated as 1t is curious. for the
drum has many parts. A drum OF the

including sticks. hooks and belt. All
material must be Of the best quality.

A short time before Fitzgibbon was
