(EyerybOdy's)


John d. Rockefeller, jr., has besides his
energy of action a projecting individuality.
While it is like that of his father in its
main lines, it varies enough to give the
young man a place Of his own. Although
Chicago University was created by his
father, the son went to the modest Brown
University. In that quiet institution he
was noted for his unostentation and econ
omy. He entered the Standard Oil Com
pany, and with assiduity mastered one de-
partment after another, and is now In
many enterprises his fathers plenary execu-
tive. In the period Of probation while he
was serving his apprenticeship, it is related
with unction that young Rockefeller sell
dom spent more than 30 cents on luncheon.
He has not been criticised for having q
lighter hand than his father, nor does he
give promise either of more mercifulness to
small competitors, or of methods more in
accord with general moral standards. Like
his father, he is a recluse he is not seen
at theater or opera. He abhors the ways
of modern mOney-spenders his chief amuse-
ment is his violin.
The one outside interest of this future
Cresus is more original than automobiles
or yachts or polo. 1t is famous Bible

| Here Is certainly al extraordinary young
man whose force and initi- tive have not
been weakened by his wealth: and though
he seems to care nothing for fashionable
society, he is winning the glory and the

PRESIDENTS THREE FLAGS.
one of Them Belongs to the Navy, Two =
the Armv-The Naval Flag Adopted First.


the ArmY-The Naval Flag Adopted First.
1t is not commonly known that the
President of the United States has three
distinguishing flags, but such is the case.
Prior to 1882 the President was with
out a personal flag, his presence on ship
board being indicated by the. National
Flag hoisted at the main truck, and his
presence at an Army Post by the raising
of the great garrison Flag held in reserve
for occasions of ceremony and national
rejoicing.
In the Navy this absence of a personal
flag had been felt on certain occasions of
visiting royalty, and, by General Order
No. 800 of Aug. 10, 1882, the Secretary
of the Navy directed that ''the Flag of
the President of the United States shall
consist of blue ground with the arms of
the United States in the center. and shall
be of the dimensions prescribed for the
AdmiraPs Flag No. 1. The Flag shall
be hOisted at the main of the vesSel-of-war
while the President is on board, and shall
be carried in the bow of his boat" The
National Flag, however, still remains the
an ex-President Of the United States"
In the Army there had been no
distinguishing Flag for the President
for many years until just be-
fore the outbreak of our war with Spain.
Then Col. Theodore Bingham called Presi-
dent MCKINNEY atteMlOn TO the Iact that
as Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Army and
Navy in time Of war il was only fitting
that he should have some emblem of his
service in that capacity.
Mr.. Mckinley modestly demurred, but
the War Department determined to fol-
low the example set by the Navy, and
preparation was begun ON design. Fred

And the still placid white Of these marbles
In auttering folds of that Flag to the

The Flag.
A flag swung high on a rampant bold,
And the soldiers saw it blow:
And the sun went down and the stars came
out,
And over the field died the battle shout
While the sentries paced to and fro.
A bell tolled firm in the midday air,
And a flag fiuttered over the trees.
| And the people gazed with proud demear
On the flag that flanted the starry thir
teen,
High in the Midsummer breeze.
The stars have grown since that far-oh
And the stripes are true and bright,
And over the country they sweep afar-
Gallant each stripe and gallant each star
Shining by day and by night.
A single bell tolled in the long ago,
To rally the brave little band
Where chimes now peel in the stiffening
breeze
And shouts ring joyously over the seas,
And flags wave over the land.

Salute the Flag.

Hats off

Hats off.
Along the street there comes
A blare Of bugles, ruffle of drums,
A fash of color beneath the sky.
Hats off! The Flag is passing by!
Blue and crimson and white it shines
Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off! The colors before us fly;
But more than the flag is passing by
Sea fights and land fights, grim and great
Fought to make and to save the State;
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Daysd plenty and years of peace,
March of a strong lands swift increase
Equal justice, and right, and law.
Stately honor and reverent awe;
Sign of a Nation, great and strong,
To ward her people from foreign wrong
Pride, and glory, and honor, all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off! Along the street there comes
A bIare of bugles, ruffle of drums,
And loyal hearts are beating high,
Hats off! The fag is passing by.
