The very affable VIM. Trauer-
NIGHT, from Middlebrook, made his
first trip to Ironton since the New
Year, Monday, and then he came
and went ON the train. VIM. says
that travelling over the roads this
season of the year is by no means
the pleasure that it is in the "good
old summer time" hence the
scarcity of his visits at this season.
AT the Presbyterian Sunday
school on Sunday, the Dist, the
Sunday nearest to Washington's
Birthday, a patriotic programme
will take place of the ordinary X
ercises in the Sunday school.
They will have the assistance of
the church choir, AMI design to
make it interesting to all, and in
vite those not in the Sunday school
to come.

termined not to have any South

but to join in a general celebra-
ton at the Worlds Fair on K. P.
day. The business meeting next
year will be held at Cardwell in
Dunklin county.
George Blanks, colored, of Pilot
Knob, asks the REGISTER to make
the announcement that he will be
sixty-five years of age on the 7th
of April next. Whether George
wants this statement made so that
it will be generally known that he
is still in the manageable class,
or that he just wants to apprise his
friends that he is not SO very far
from three score years and ten, we
do not know. But he wants the
fact published anyway.
Rev. T. A. Waterman made the

In the islands Of the Pacific. The day
has been properly set apart as holi-
day, and every year shows wider
observance Of it, particularly in the
schools Of the country. This is as it
should be. The American flag, be-
sides being the Oldest in the world,
represents everything that is Ameri-
can in a way that no other flag SYM
bolizes to the people the institutions
of their country.
Until within comparatively recent
times, countries have not had a ma
tional flag. They had one flag to rep
resent the reigning family, which was
the banner of the house then on the
throne. From the factional troubles
which continually afflicted those coun-
tries it could be nothing more than
the standard of those who happened to
be in power. We have seen this illus
trated in France, where the 'legiti-
mists," "Orleanists," "Bonapartists"
and Republicans" each one with a
different flag, were contending for the

why, did George tell you that?" she
asked, with a surprised smile lighting
up her gentle face.
Without answering directly, the Cal
ifornian went on: "You remember how
he rode the gray colt, Caleb, without
bride or saddle, and how you all
thought he would be killed; and how
Caleb ran into the woods across the
creek and tried to scrape him of

like the glorious light Of the sun,
which brings peace, life, fertility and
growth, and all that follows the vivi-
flying effects of its beneficent light.
Much the grandest in its symbolism
Of power Of any flag which floats in
all the breezes which encircle the
globe, it's sublimer aspect is in the
moral and sentimental ideas it repre-
sents. It was first set as a sermon in
the skies for Justice. equality and
Righteousness for all men. Never for
moment has there been any variable
ness or shadow of turning in that
meaning. Over, 100000 men have
died to make that meaning prevail to
the uttermost. This is shown by the
pure aspirations of the men who have
maintained it and have died to keep
it true and high in the heavens It is
therefore the most sacred flag in the
world, because Of the Specification
given It by the hearts blood of these
myrtads Of high-souled men.
It is a flag Of pride. Never in its
127 years has it gone down in defeat,
never has it receded from one foot of
ground put under it's control. All the
other flags which attempt to follow
with it have had their seasons Of
shame and disaster. Most Of them are
in comparison with it mere mush-
rooms, coming up in the place of 9TH
ers which have been swept away, be,
cause associated with the wrongs of
unhappy far-off times.

Costly Privilege.

In certain cities of high civilization
one has to pay for the privilege of be-
ing run over, instead of recovering
damages for injuries so received. So
the administration of what is called
justice in India may prove rather ex-
acting to the criminal.
Several natives were arrested there,
not long ago, on suspicion Of having
committed crime. They were Inn
prisoned; but before they came to trial
the real culprit confessed his guilt.
The story was told to Sir >Montagu
Gerard, who asked:
''Well, have the poor fellows been
released?"

brought the news, certainly not, I'M

government of the country. Which
ever party had been successful would
have raised its flag to represent 1t. 1t
will be remembered that the late Count
de Chambord failed to ascend the
throne Of France because he would not
doff the white banner Of the Bour-
bons, and take in its place the tri-
color, which has been identified with
so much French glory. In addition to
the flag representing the royal house,
these countries had another flag for
the army, one for the navy, one for
the merchant marine. and so on.
Our flag is the Oldest flag in the
world to-day which began by repre-
senting everything that is American.
It not only means but always has
meant the president, congress, judi
ciary, and merchantmen who sail the
wide. seas, but 1t means all Amer
lean men and women, no matter In
what engaged. It means our schools
ans churches and colleges just as
much as our army and navy. Every
thing under its glorious shadow is a
part of the wonderful whole for which
1t stands.
It is the only flag in the world, too,

years O.. -tgorous life it has invariably
stood fox the very best that the i'm
agination of man could conceive. It
has stood for the highest liberty, the
most absolute justice, the most ele-
waited morality. Though in it's 1877
years it has extended its supremacy
over a greater area of the worlds sur
face than Rome governed in her
proudest days, yet there has been upon
it absolutely no blemish of conquest,

While the willow spreads her honey.
Birds are singing, banks are sunny:

For the bright, enhancing wonder
OF the May, May, May.
In green fields are young lambs bleatin

Every steep an orchard seems.
Made for beauty. love land dreams:
Come away!
I'm the flush of summer weather
Come away!
Youth and gladness yours together
For a day.
Seek the meadows, azure-tented,
Dusky, coaxing, myriad-scented
With the hay, hay, hay.
Down the windows tumbled mazes
Crtckets chirp the sun-god's praisesd
There the firefiy's restless spark
Bratds Its pattern on the dark:

Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things better than
gold mines have been found in this way,
for example when even the accidental
discovery that coffee is the real cause Of

dous value because it locates the cause
and the person has then chance to get

stomach and even the best physicians
disagreed as to the cause without giving
me any permanent help, different ones
saying twas gastritis, indigestion, neu-
ralgia, etc., SO I dragged along from
year to year, always half sick, until
finally gave up all hopes Of ever being
well again.
"When taking dinner with a friend
one day she said she had new drink
which turned out to be Postum and
liked it so well told her thought I
would stop coffee for awhile and use it,
which did.

house.
'The result Of weeks use Of coffee

There are about 5000 posts or local

which sometimes fails in the midst Of
what might otherwise be an eloquent per-
Grafton.
Recently in addressing the house on q
matter. connected with tariff, he ex-
claimed:
''Why, tariffs are like pair of suspen.
ders, sometimes tight and sometimes loose;
but Uncle Sam nceds them just the same,
Here the congressman's voice struck .
high treble note, fared and stopped.
The house held its breath while he
cleared his throat. The suspense, which
seemed to last for fully a minute, was
more painful to the auditors than to the
orator, for everyone was wondering
whether he would say trousers" or
..'pants,"' and some were even hoping that
he might say "pantaloons." Even "over-
alls' would be better than pants" for
pants is most supplementary.
But all fears were without foundation.
He cleared his throat with the greatest
care, and in death-like stiffness resumed
his Grafton where he had dropped it: Ito
