CONCERNING CONSCIENCE.


The public conscience consists mostly
of frances.
There are more kinds of consciences
than you can count.
The man who stirs up the public con-
science sometimes gets stirred under
himself
The public conscience differs from the
private conscience only in quantity, not
in quality.
The conscience of some people closes
its eyes to its own debts, but keeps them
wide open to the debts of others.
1t is funny what a fuss some people
make over the money another mans
conscience has allowed him to accumu-
late.
Very few men are too conscientious to
permit their hens to lay eggs on Sunday.
Most men work their layers overtime.

The following proclamation
has, been issued by the. Governor :
On the 18th day of June, 1777,
the Congress Of the United States
of America enacted: "That the
flag of the thirteen United States
be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white: that the Union be
thirteen stars, white in blue field,
representing new constellation, "
Later, the Congress fixed the shape
of the flag to be thirteen stripes
and a star for each State. Thus,
the anniversary for the birth of
our flag falls on the 18th of June.
On the Goth day, of June 1863,
West Virginia became sovereign
State Of the Union, and on the fol-
lowing Fourth of July a new star
in her honor was fixed in the flag s
field of blue. The anniversary Of
the birth of our Flag and of our
State falling so near together, and
it being desirable to celebrate
both, and being impracticable to
celebrate each separately, and it
appearing proper and appropriate
to celebrate the two together:
Therefore, |. VIM. NJ. o. Dawson
Governor Of the State of West
Virginia, do hereby designateTues-
day, Goth day of June, 1905 asWest
Virginia Flag Day, and direct
that the custodians Of the build
