Bird Build. Nest Of Lace

A Mrs. Newton, who lives in Center
street, Geneseo, n. Y, put two fine lace
collars out on the lawn in front of her
house to dry a few days ago. When
she went to get them an hour later
they were gone. She was sure nobody
stole them, because she was sitting
beside a window. at the front of the
house at the time and would have
seen anybody entering the yard. The
next day she put another collar out
and watched. A robin flew down from
an apple tree nea by and carried off.
the collar. An investigation was made
and the other collars were found
woven into the birds nest in a crotch
of the apple tree. There was also a
small lace handkerchief in the nest.
The bird that was doing the "ine-art"
nest building and its mate set up a big
outcry and pecked f~iercely at the man
in the tree when the nest was being
pulled down.

BIRTH OF THE FLAG.
BY ARTHUR LEWIS TUBBS.

In the good old Quaker City, by the side
of the river fair,
In the home of an humble woman-the
birth of the flag was there.
The heroes had won the battle, with hearts
. that were true and brave,
a woman gave us the inner hat none
shall forbid to wave.
She gave her heart to it's beauty as she
fashioned its cleaning bars,
And the soul of a loyal woman shone out
through its radiant stars.
For never a nation triumphe6 and never a
land was blest
loved not the name of woman and
woman's love possessed.
In the light of a nations glory, the flush
of a pride newborn,
1t cleaned with the rising splendor of a
~country's radiant morn.
With the lash of its stars eternal, deep set
on a field of blue,
Cnfurled was the loveliest emblem that
ever a nation knew. 4
1t has braved the brunt of battles, it has
led us through the years,
The same beloved banner that sheltered
the pioneers;
Not a star grown dim upon it, for time has
proved it true,
And Heaven has sent it other stars to give
it a luster new.
Oh, bright from the fields of glory and
proud from triumphant seas,
Our flag looks up to the sunlight and flaunts
the caressing breeze;
Undimmed. in the light of Heaven, no
shadow it's beauty mars,
For defeat has never sullied the glorious
Stripes and Stars.
The pride Of a mighty nation, the treasure
of freedoms and
Long may it be unfettered for love and
for right to stand;
And so, as our first bright banner was
fashioned by loves decree,
May the flag of our country ever a God
blest emblem be!

provided for him by the people of Kan
sas.
Being a gentleman, Gov. Bailey did
not make this melancholy fact known,
and doubtless would gladly have con-
cealed it. But even the most discreet
of secretaries will talk, and the enor-
nous increase of obviously feminine
letters arriving at the executive office
could not well be hidden.
Being also a stalwart American man,
Gov. Bailey did nothing with these
epistles save to put them in the fire.
Feeling it to be his mans privilege to
ask, and not to be asked, he paid no at
t%ention to them. And in spite of the
pointed remarks of newspaper humor-
lists and of the anxiety of the people of
Kansas, he went straight ahead in his
own way, and did not marry until he
was ready, and then married the wom-
an strictly of his own choosing.
And being also a sensible American,
he did not marry any of the women
who had not shown themselves pleased
with him or conscious of his existence
until he attained high station. He
chose a woman whom he had known
for years, who had long been resident
Just over the Nebraska border near his
own Nemaha county home. And some
will think that in choosing a widow,
whose experience of married life might
supplement his own inexperience, he
chose wisely.
AT any rate, Gov. Bailey was married
June 7. The executive mansion at To-
peka now has a mistress. The fears
of Kansas lest her governor should set
a bad example of celibacy are dis
PEELED. And in her joy over the support
thus given to her cherished institutions
Kansas is probably disposed to forget
even her recent griefs over having
too much water at the wrong time in
the wrong places.

HAS KEPT HIS WORD.
Bachelor Governor of Kansas Keeps
a Campaign Promise.
New Executive Mansion Now Has a
Mistress and Everybody Seems
Pleased-Unfque Political
Romance.

When it was found last summer that
the republicans of Kansas, by some in
advertence, had nominated bachelors
for governor and lieutenant governor,
a distinct social shock was experienced
in hat state, and there was a decided
feeling of surprise elsewhere.
For the pride of Kansas, even more
than her corr crop, is her homes and
schools, and without wives and chill
dren homes and schools are manifestly
impossible. Furthermore, no matter
what may be the feeling in the east,
in Kansas there is a widespread belief
that a bachelor is only half a man,
who is not doing his duty to the repub-
lie.
Hence the celibacy of the republican
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor became a political issue in a
way, chiefly humorous, of course, but
still not without its serious aspects.
Furthermore, the state had just com
pleted a fine executive mansion, and
the people were disappointed with'the
prospect that this should be a mere
bachelors hall.
Hence, Hon. Willis j. Bailey was
moved to promise, or to atleast to init
mate, that if he were elected governor
he would marry and cease to set a bad
example of bachelorhood to the young
men of Kansas and the nation.
In this connection it is deplorable to
be compelled to state, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, that in the United States
women who threw themselves at Gov.
Bailey's head and voluntarily ex-
pressed their desire to share the home

I OF /.
(Now in Possession of British Consul at
PHILADELPHIA
ing still in the possession of a loyal
subject of the king of England, Ed
ward VII, who is living in the Quaker
city. This t%imepiece of royalty, which
still ticks after a career of 262 years,
was made in 1910 for King Charles 1 by
the royal matchmaker of that time.
King Charles l.. was beheaded two
years before his son Charles ii. was de-
feated on and escaped from the field
of Worcester.
1t is of the Oldest Matchmaking pat
tern, being made entirely by hand, and
costing in its day a good round sum of
money. The case is of solid silver,
ornamented in beautiful pierced fill
gree work, and there is an outer case
of copper with a handsome leather
cover, silver studded. The royal watch
runs SO hours with one winding. Only
one hand is used in designating the
time.
There is a silver bell enclosed within
the silver case, on which the hours are
struck. There is also an alarm attach
ment. The watch is Az inches in dia-
meter, and ~ inches thick.
Cromwell kept it as a personal pos
session for years. But after the re-
steration it fell into the hands of
Joseph Kipuing, Esq, of Overstone
house, North Hants, England, an an
cestor of Rudyard Kipling. Joseph
Kipling was also an ancestor of Will
fred Powell, British consul at the port
of Philadelphia, the present owner of

JULY 4. I'VE.
The Dramatic Moment When h Dee.
laration of Independence
Was Signed.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Mr.. Landon Knight gives a graphic
description of the dramatic moment
when the Declaration of Independ-
ence was signed. He says: 'sThe
fourth day of July, 1776, arrives, and
every member is in his seat. No,
Caesar Rodney, of Delaware, does not
answer the roll-call as his name is
called. A week before he had gone
home to get influence to bear on one
of his colleagues who opposed the
resolution. The night before Thomas
Jefferson and DR.. Franklin had sent
post-haste for Rodney to come, if he
wished to ave the resolution, for his
vote would decide it. And now, as
the friends of the measure looked
upon his empty seat, there is IN
e%asiness, almost CONSERVATION. The
debate begins, and wakes warmer as
the day grows; the noon recess is for
gotten; the calm, telling logic of John
Adams, the quaint, clear sentences of
DR.. Franklin, the impassioned ora
tory of Henry, are still falling upon
aebSbliNC CdAS. GGfGI was SuCli q
scene witnessed as that now being en-
acted here. There is no confusion,
no excitement, but the gravity of the
occasion rests heavily upon all. Now
the hour has arrived. The r~oll-call
has begun. Delaware is reached.
Caesar Rodney, of Delaware!' calls
the clerk. There is a clatter of
hofs, a changing of spurs; the door
is thrown open; a man travel-stained
and flushed with excitemnt rushes
into the chamber. Caesar Rodney, of
Delaware!' again calls the clerk, and
in ringing tones the reply comes:
Caesar Rodney votes aye!' The roll
call continues; is finished. The Dec
laration of Independence is adopted,
and the United States of America is
born as a nation upon the earth!"

An authenticated manuscript diary
kept by Charles Lever, the novelist,
when a student in Germany, has been

the Royal Irish Academy.
The New York Rialto is laughing
over a story told on Will Carleton, the
poet, who is also a publisher. The
other day he appeared at his office in
a new coat, which he hung up. 1t fell
to the dusty floor. The office boy
picked the garment up without brush
ing it and helped Mr.. Carleton put 1T
on. Catching a glimpse of his w dis
reputable appearance in a mirror the
poet numbered: boy! What do you

The late Max O'Rell had a high opin-

and as one who taught himself in a
leading English public school he was
entitled to speak on the subject.

James M. Barrie, who is very shy at
social functions or banquets and can
hardly be induced to either converse
freely or utter a speech, is not above
poking fun at himself. On one occa-
sion there appeared in the Scots OBJ
server a brilliant lampoon in which Mr..
Barrie was represented as attending a
public dinner, keeping everyone in
roars of laughter with his ~unceasing
stream of wit and epigram and finally
ending up by making the speech of the
evening. When a certain literary
friend of Mr.. Barrie saw this wicked
ly clever piece of satire his indignation
knew no bounds and he rushed into
print demandingthatthe author of this
infamous article should straightway
disclose himself and be dealt with ac-
cordingly. But, alas, for the we'll
meaning friend, the author was none
other than Mr.. Barrie himself.
