Flaq Hidden in a Book.

While looking over some things
which he had brought with him from
the southland the other day, William
C. Barnard, Oakland street, Barnard
vile, found between the leaves or
volume of Blackstone a flag that was
saved from rebel hands during the
civil war. The flag had not seen the
light of day in fortythree years
Prior to the outbreak of the war,
Mr.. Barnard was employed in mill
at Richmond, Va, where he and others
used to meet at the home of Rev. Dr.
Alexander Campbell, a native of Scot
land, a union sympathizer, in the
basement of his home in knight
street
The house was situated between
the river and Hollywood cemetery,
and the flag occupied a place over
the fireplace in the basement.
One night the boys in butterEut,
suspecting the union sympathizers
were meeting at the home of Dr.
Campbell. surrounded the house and,
forcing an entrance, caught Mr.. Bar
nard and Rev DIR. Campbell along
with number of Others
In the sl1urry that followed the en-
trance of the confederate soldiers, the
ment plunged into darkness. When
fresh lights We're secured, the rebels
made search of the house from
basement to garnet, to find the flag
they thought was in the house, but
they were unable to locate it.
THE reason the rebels did not find
the flag Mr.. Barnard said to re-
porter of the Telegram, yesterday
afternoon, lis that the 16-vear-old
daughter of DR.. Campbell grabbed it
and concealed it in the folds of her
petticoat, and returned it to me on
the following day, when l took it to
my office in, Ninth street and hid it
between the leaves of law book.

Every houseneeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in y pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

81 remember" said the Major, Jim
O'Hara of Company A, Fifty-second
Ohio. Jim was always in the right
place, and went through the war from
start to finish. At Jonesboro he was
on the skirmish line, and when the
regiment came up for the charge he
was down behind stump busy as a
bee banging away at the enemy. Here
the instinct of discipline showed itself
in Jim, for the first word he said
when he realized that he was not in

Major pointed to a clump of bushes
and Jim, without a moments hesita-
ton, hilled right along the line, hot
with musket balls and grape shot
LAS Jim was giving full attention to
the enemy in front he was accosted
by a Seventeenth corps man, who
asked to what company he belonged.
Jim answered promptly, Col. Dan Nc
Cooks brigade, Fourteenth corps and
the Seventeenth corps man said, Give
me chew of tobacco Jim handed
out his tobacco, and after the other
had helped himself he said, converse
tionally, We are not in this thing. I
saw you fellows were, and not having
any tobacco, l got nervous thinking
about your luck and 1 thought 1 would
come over and help you just to relieve
my nervousness, you know. am all
right now and he stayed with us and
was in line when we went over Gen.

of tobacco and went back to his own
command with the air of a man who
had done a good job and wasn't
ashamed of it-"-Chicago Inter Ocean.
