Some Words.

According to the late Richard a
Proctor, says the London Chronicle,
the phrase Il guess" to English ears
so ridiculous, is really Identical with
the old expression, Il wis" meaning
I know" The word "guess" has
changed it's meaning entirely In Eng
land, but has partly preserved it in
America, where Of course the native
says "I guess" when he is more or less
in a state of certainty. There are many
other examples Of words that have
played fast and loose with "g" and
"w," such as guardian" and ward
en-" guard and ward" "guichet''
and wicket"

FLAGS ON THE CAPITOL.
What It Means When They Are Fly
Ing at H2lf Mast.

What It Means When They Are Fly
Ing at Half Mast.
The flying Of flags over the capitol at
half mast is regulated by the srictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the mast it is
a sure indication that vice president,
senator or representative is lying dead
or that the action is taken in response
to a presidential proclamation ordering
the flags on public buildings at half
mast in respect to the memory Of some
prominent official of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant at arms Of the
senate or house Of representatives
learns Of the death Of member Of
either of those bodies, he at once
orders that the flags over the senate
chamber or hall Of representatives be
half masted. This Is often done before
the houses Of congress themselves are
officially notified Of the death. a good
deal of discretion is exercised In the
manner Of placing the news Of death
Of this kind officially before the senate
or the house. Upon such an announce
ment it is customary for the houses to
adjourn in respect to the deceased sen
ator or representative, and in order
that the current business may not be
stopped early in the day the announce
ment is generally made just before the
houses are ready to conclude their
days work.
Officers Of the senate and house
when they fly the flags at half mast in
response to proclamation by the pres
ident regard their action as one OF
courtesy, as they do not recognize the
power Of the president to order con-
gress to do anything except to assem-
Bile in extraordinary session. They
have always responded to the requests
Of such proolamations. 1t would be a
nice question, If one could imagine that
it could ever be raised, to know to
what extent the presidents authority,
would allow him to order flags at half
mast on the capitol. While his author
ity would not extend over the en-
ployees Of the senate and house, yet
the capitol itself for many years was
in fact controlled exclusively by. him
so far as the care Of the building is
concerned, and the superintendent Of
the building is today appointed by him
without conhrmatory action on the
part Of the senate.
AS matter Of fact, the capitol has
for years been under the direct control
Of the committees on appropriations Of
the two houses Of congress, but that
control has been accorded them by the
failure Of the president to give any or
ders to the architect or more lately to
the superintendent Of the capitol. II
he should order that official to fly flags
over the capitol at half mast and the
order should be disobeyed, he would
have power to dismiss him and appoint
some one else in his place without the
concurrence Of either branch Of con-
gress, except so far as the appropr1a-
ton for the officials salary would be.
involved. These are practically moot
questions, but they occasionally form
interesting subjects for freside talks
when flags are half masted in response
to presidential OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

and spoke in various voices the Ian
yuase of bitter toll, Of physical energy
and Of careless pleasure seeking. At
no tine in all his life had he seemed
to feel the burden Of his responsibility
for others as at this moment. He had
come to the place where he could no
longer endure the strife between duty
and inclination, between personal ease
and personal ministry to world that
offered him little expectation Of re-
ward as he ministered to it. The stEug-
gle which had led up to his final pre-
cipitation OF the crisis had been 4
struggle almost empty Of bitterness,
but overfowing with pain. He was
conscious as he stood on the steps OF
his fathers house, about 70 turn his
back on all the traditions Of his IA
TIERS name and business, that there
was no hatred in his soul and no re-
sentiment in his heart. What he was
about to leave did not find as much
place in his mind as what he was
about to seek. He was not troubled
ever any loss to himself, but he faced
with deep seriousness worthy Of the
event certain we'll defined questions
relative to his future. AS he finally
went down the steps and became
part Of the human current that flowed
down the street the city seemed to
absorb him into its turbulent myste-
r;ousness and to bear him along, q
part of its restlessness, a portion Of
it's eternal destiny.

"No! No! Listen to me once, just
this once, Mary, with seriousness. You
know we have played together and
lightly treated the world all these
years. But 1t cannot 80 on forever.
I have come tc place, Mary, where
I must choose between father and you
and the work Of my life. It is 10 play
ing matter now
'Why, what are you going to do?'
It was the same question his father
had asked and it presented again the
same mental difficulty to John Cor
don. If his father failed to understand
his sons motives, his sister was, If
anything, far less capaole Of knowing
what her brother had in mind.
81 am going-I am going to-God help
me, do not yet know all-but cannot
live this life any longer. What do we
do, Mary, but make playtime Of life?
And the people are beginning to wake
up from their sleep Of the ages and
stretch their limbs with more and more
consciousness Of power. We shall be
playthings to them, If we do not love
them and go to work. That is all we
shall be fit OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is
all we have ever done--play-and 1t Is
murder to play all the time In world
like ours"
whats the matter with you, John?
What makes you act so? You talk
like one Of these socialists, these hor-
rid men that are always making so
much fuss about rich people and-and
all 1nau!' Mary spoke with touch
Of petulance as near excitement or an
ger as she generally became under
strong temptation.
II am one, Mary" replied John Cor
} don quietly.
