has been conducting a series Of
sensational seances in his native
village recently.
During these seances: so the
story goes, the spirit plies the
typewriter keys at a marvellous
rate, and turns of page after
page of manuscript in a fashion
that would give the spring poet a
fit Of enyious rage.
The object Of all this rapid
work by the ghosts is to produce
some books entitled "Rending
the Veil" which presumably dis.
closes everything concerning the
world. 1t is stated that the spir.

GOLD GLORY"
Story of the Flag Which First Bore
the DESIGNATION.

Story of the Flag Which First Bore
the Designation.
Many persons think, perhaps,
that the term, Old Glory, as ap-
piled to our national flag, "just
grew" like Topsy, but there is on
record, says the Albany Argus,
an authentic account of the fact
that it was christened SO in 1881.
In the history of the Driver fam
lily, of Salem, Mass, it is related
that Capt. William Driver of the
ship Charles Doggett was at one
time preparing for a voyage to the
South Pacific ocean, when some of
his fellow townsmen came on
board and presented him with a
very handsomely-made flag.
The flag was done up in "spots,'
and when it was hauled to the
mast head and broken out to the
breeze, Capt Driver called it "Old
Glory" 1t is possible that he
heard some one else use the term,
but if so he seems to have given
no intimation of the fact, for the
story credits him with inventing
it.
Capt. Driver took the flag to
the South Pacific with him, and
kept it with great care even after
he left the sea. At the time of
the civil wal he was living in
Nashville, Tenn, and"Old Glory"
the original, used to kiss the
breeze from a window of his house
every day for he was a. stanch
union man.
When Tennessee joined the con,
federacy, however, he had to keep
his flag hidden, and the place he
selected was inside a big bed
comfort, where it lay until the
latter part of February, 1862.
when the union troops entered
Nashville. He then brought il
out and offered it to Gen. Nelson
to be hauled up over the capitol
The general accepted the Offer
and Capt. Driver himself hoistet
the flag. So highly did he value i
that he watched it during thu
night, and when a strong wine
came up he hauled it down AM
hoisted a new one in it's place.
The captain treasured "Ol'
Glory" religiously, and when h
died, in 1886, it was sent to til
Essex institute at Salem, Mass
where it may be seen now.

SOMETHING IN SOUVENIRS.
The Surprise Which Awaited a Young
Matrol's Guests.

Something novel and quite eff.
fectiye in dinner souvenirs was
evolved by a young married cou-
pie in an eastern city, says the
Detroit Free Press. The table
was prettily decorated with white
daisies and soft, green ferns, and
a small parcel, wrapped in green
paper and tied with white ribbon,
stood by each plate.
AS the guests sat down to din
ner a murmur of curiosity ran
around the table. What could be
in the parcels? Everybody was
eager to see, but they were
marked: "Not to be opened until
half past eight"
"Why, it is only half past seven
now" exclaimed one of the
guests. "NVhy can't we open them
now?"
The hostess smiled and shook
her head and the dinner went on
merrily until the appointed hour,
when the parcels were undone.
Each contained a beautiful
miniature of the article which the
guest to whom it was allotted was
supposed to like best. Two of
the guests were good musicians,
one a pianist and the other a gui'
tarist. \ tiny piano was placed
by the formers plate, and a gui
tar by the latter's. The hostess
was not noted for anything in
particular, except her fondness
for perfumes, so she had allotted
herself a tiny wicker bottle Of
eau de cologne.
One of the men, who was known
to be fond of beer, was presented
with a stein; the second, an invet
crate smoker, got a pipe, and the
third, a noted war correspondent
a travelling trunk covered will
labels of different towns ant
countries.
After the souvenirs had bee,
duly admired the guests clamoret
to know why they had been KEEP
waiting.
"Only to arouse your curiosit.,
and make you enjoy my little sur
prise all the MORE" said the host
ess, smiling.

A Sensible Woman Has a Word to

a OenS1D1e WOMAN mas q WoIQ 10
Say Regarding Fad Ways.
Misunderstanding is really a fine
art" said a bright little woman
who lives uptown, according to
the New Orleans Times Democrat,
"and yet it is a rather Gu
rious fact that both men and
women pay but little atten-
ton to the matter of shak-
ing hands. 1t is a neglected art.
During the past few years we
have observed a number of fads
in the way of handshaking, the
most of them Of an extremely gro
tesque character, and all of them
offensive to my taste. I have al
ways preferred to shake hands in
an easy, natural, plain sort Of
way. This thing of reaching way
over like you expected to grab
your friend by the back of the
neck, and things of that brand in
the matter Of shaking hands, have
never appealed to me. How much
easier and how much prettier it
is to shake hands in a less demon
strative way! l wouldiustassoon
cut a pigeon wing, or do a 'possum
4 la, before bowling to a friend, or
pass through some other dancing,
contortionist or acrobatic turn,
as to throw my arms out of place
in order to give some friend the
high handshake. I simply do not
believe in that sort of thing. 1t is
perfectly shocking and l am quite
sure society can get along with
out doing the shocking thing. We
ought to strive to get rid of these
shocking things in society. That
is supposed to be the high arm.
Let us see if we can't get down to
more rational basis in the mat.

can. At any rate, you can watch

fad which attempts to set up the
violent way Of shaking hands
against the easy, natural, grace
full and artistic way"

A Popular Waiter.

A former waiter testified in a
New York court the other day
that when he first came to New
York he was employed in a res
taurant as a waiter, where, though
his salary was small, he used to
make $75 a week, his tips running
from 81 to $40 a day. From this
lucrative position he graduated in
business for himself.
