white; and both numbers are sacred.
Let us deal with the seven rcd stripes
first Look at your flag, and you viii
find that the long stripes are three
in number and the short stripes four.
Why are they so divided? Why not
five and two? The answer is: Be
cause three is a sacred number, and
next to one is the most significant.
and four is a sacred number also. One
represents the unity of the Godhead,
and three the Threefold personality
Of the Deity Unity and Trinity. or
! plus 3 equal 4, and four in symbolic
numbers represents completion or
perfection. Four is unique in its com
prehensiyeness. Thus we speak of
the four quarters OF the globe, the
four cardinal points, the four seasons
Of the year. the four winds OF heaven,
and In Biblical imagery the four Liv-
ing Creatures. the four Judgments OF
God. etc. But three and four make
seven. another sacred number. In the
Book Of Revelation We read Of the
Seven Candlesticks. the Seven Seals.

thirteen Is intensified by looking az il

number Of amusing misprints for sew

He first quoted a misprint about a
bishop who was confined to the house
with a violent cold. The newspaper
that mentioned the preIate's illness
said he was confined TO the house
with a violent scold."
Another quotation concerned q Brit

REVIVAL OF THE INN.
Public Houses are Changed TO Suit
the Needs of the Day.

Public Houses are Changed TO Suit
the Needs of the Day.
While some reformers are bent on
ending the public house, others are
busy at mending it. We need not
decide for both; in many places there
are TOO many public houses, and OF
those that would in any case re-
main, many might we'll be bettered.
The annual report OF the public
house trust shows that substantial
progress is being made in this direc-
ton. The principal aim Of the trust
Is the revival Of the inn as a place Of
allround Tefreshment and its extinc-
ton as a mere drinking bar. The
man who asks for bovril gets the
same smile as the man who asks for
beer, that is the advertisement and
the motto. Lord Grey's movement is
q most hopeful one; 1t takes for
granted that men will not be deprived
Of their beer; but it offers every in
Cucsmeut to the consumption Of other
cups than those which inebriate. and
Of eatab.es as we'll as dFiukables. and
lt provides decent wholesome cheer
tu4 surroundings. The movement is
peculiarly Opportune in rural districts.
Il comes at d time when there is a
considerable revival in the wayside
inn as place Of necessary refresh

have been killed by the railway are

dress ourselves to the subject in
hand: Washington and the American
flag. This naturally falls under the
threefold head-Washington's Ances-
try, the Evolution of the Flag, and the
Symbolism of the Flag"
First, Washington Ancestry. As
far as historical research has yet
reached back, Washington ancestry
has been located in Durham. in the
north Of England. From Durham some
Of the Washingtons migrated to Lanca-
shire. Then We find them settling in
Northamptonshire in the reign Of
Henry VII. From Northampton the
great grandfather of Washington emf
grated to America in or about the year
1867 The pursuits followed by the
Washingtons may be summed up
under the church, the army the law
and the farm. 1t is around this last
that the most interesting and roman
tic incidents of the family gather and
Northampton is the scene of the vary
ing vicissiudes that eliminated in the
emigration Of Lawrence Washington
TO Virginia.
For three generations the Washing
tons lived in Northampton. taking
rank with the gentry Of the county,
and there they made more than one
alliance with the nobility. Lawrence
appears to have been family name
among the Washingtons The uncle
Of the first historical Lawrence was

merchants who in the Teigns Of Henry
VII and Henry VIII. developed the

BIG FIRE AT PALMER
Three Valuable Brick Buildings Were
DESTROYED This hOrRiRg.

The little town Cf Palmer was Wis
tied by a disastrous fire this morn
ing that destroyed three valuable
brick buildings. The fire started in
the office of DIR. Mccoy about $50,
and is supposed to have been caused
by small gasoline stove. Soon
the entire building and two build
ings adjoining were in flames. Two
Of the burned buildings belonged to
John A Payne and were occupied
by Payne Il Elgan, dealers in gem
eral merchandise. The losses on
these buildings and goods is esti-
mated at SI5 900, with $4,000 insur-
ance. The third building was
erected several years ago for bank
but it is not known whether or not
was occupied. This building was
not insured and its value could not
be learned. The odd Fellows hall
was over this building and their loss
is estimated at 81 POO, with $500 IN
surauee.

Euaene School census.

Eugene Guard, May 18th; P. ]. Nc
Pherson, census enumerator of the
Eugene school district. has handed
the Guard statement of the popula,
tion of Eugene inside the city limits,
also that of the school district, which
extends beyond the borders of the
city. The figures are very interesting.
They show that inside the corporate
limits of the city there is a population
OF 5S29, which is an increase of 259S
since the 1900 government census was
taken. This is splendid growth for
that length of time, and If the present
rate of increase keeps up, by the time
another government census Is taken
Eugene will have, a population of TO-.
900 or more.
