 Representative Mills Hungerford was first introduced. After telling capital story he read the following in teresting letter from former resident:

 How we'll do I remember when 1 sat In that rickety old chair on the plat form and tried to teach the young peO- pie their A R C's, and incidentally in- troduced them to few sprigs of birch. How would like to have been orator of the day up there, but Paige always gets there first. 1 presume the pole is in position and when the flag waves at the top, it stands for FreedmOn, Unity, Equality, Good Government and Jus tiCe, and long may it wave. Don't be afraid to leave it out in the storm, for when it is gone, there will be another to take it's place, just as the younger people will have to take our places, one of these days.
 Sherman has always been patriotic town and it is going to continue the same,-we are going to elect the gov ernor next year. and l want you all tu listen to what l say. The man proved to be a shining light at Hartford last winter. but after the Sheep-bake at Lake .COmpOunce, we are pleased tC say, he has few equals, and no Superi' ors, and in conclusion, l wish to pro- pose three rOuSing cheers for Hon Allan w. Paige, of Bridgeport. am sitting in the twilight,
 With teardrop in my eye,
 Far from the little town of Sherman
 And am feeling quite awry.
 If were up there with you,
 1 would help to dig the hole
 Right in front of the old Schoolhouse,
 There to plant a mighty pole. Very well I know the SchOOlhouse,
 Where I used to teach the scholars, But they sent me up to Hartford,
 To see Governor Thomas Waller How I sat upon the platform,
 In rickety old chair,
 How the wind blew through my whis'

Flag Raising In
 Sherman. HON A. w. PAIGE THE GUEST OF HONOR Addresses by Senator Paige, Rev MT Davis, A. P. Smith, N. T. Hungerford, and
 Others.

The Center district in Sherman had inspiring exercises in honor of flag raising, Friday, the chief guest of honor being Hon Allen w. Paige Of Bridgeport, a native of the town. The weather was somewhat cool but fully POO people gathered and the affair was in every way great credit to the good old town. The flag was the gift of Senator Paige. MT Paige, with his wife and daughter, arrived at Sherman Center about 12 30, coming from Bridgeport in their automobile. The speaking took place in the Town hall, but previous to this and the dinner there were brief exercises at the SchoOlhouSe on the hill.
 Senator Paige, in presenting the flag, said in part: It has been a good many years since I have visited Sher- man. It gives me great pleasure to stand on this ground and look into the faces of many who esteemed p or 30 years ago. I take great pleasure in presenting this flag to the Center dis trict.
 Ernest Beyers, committeeman of the Center district, said: In behalf of the district l receive this flag with a thousand thanks to MT Paige for his kindness.
 The flag was then raised by Miss Beulah Cole, the teacher of the CenteI

This, the speaker thought, was most needed in the country, as we'll as in the city, life-tbe unseltish life, a spirit that would do for others and the public good without regard for com pensa tion. He spoke of the great ben eft of the country church and added his wor of praise 10 that of Senat tor Paige to Rev J. P. Hoyt, who carried out the spirit of unSe]tiShneSS in his life wherever his lot was cast.
 Rev Dr Davis, the next speaker, said among other things: l Was born in the old country, Eng land, and so in one sense am a foreigner. The com mittee of ladies, who arranged fhc splendid dinner, have dCne royalty. The children also have done amazingly we'll. The flag stands among other things for separatenesS. What we want to-day is the individual hnnic. A man can't belong to every country. The,natiOnal idea must prevail. Every citizen ought to have d uap of his country on the walls of his home. We belong to a great whole. The states are like the streams flowing into the great river; the 45 states contributing to one national country. We must believe, too, in our own inherent great ness.
 Charles Evans was called on for q speech, but he excused himself on the ground that "he was too full for utter ance."
 Rev MT Chichester said: It gives me great deal of pleasure to look into your faces. 1 have been very much impressed with certain influences of this flag. It stands for freedom. wish could make people feel the val ue of dead-earnestness in this some what flippant age. 1 do hope you young people will take yourselves seriously.

As the flag floats in the breeze we shall all remember it was presented by Sen atur Paige. The meeting closed with three rousing cheers for Senator Paige. AS his party left for Bridgeport in their automobile about APO p. m., the men lined up and gave him rousing cheer.

The Baden lines are operated at a
profit. Last year the net profit,
freight and passenger, was upwards Of
$1l,0OO,00O.
The number of accidents is far small
or, proportionately, than in the United
States, and almost no accidents occur at
stations, which are arranged like the
suburban stations in the large American
tracks tracks The II American consul at Brit
tany say that the Baden government
within the past year has gone to great
lengths in providing for the comfort of
the railway employees, On this point
he says things which will make many an
American railway employee long for
government ownership, provided, Of
course, it could be patterned after that
of Baden:
The government now owns 1885 apart
ment houses where officials and other
employees reside. The train crews have
been furnished with sleeping accommo-
dations, when their runs require them to
be absent from home over night, and
small cooking stoves, Of which there are
now in use 230, have been provided
where meals may be warmed. At Karls-
ruhe and Mannheim the government has
lunch rooms established where the en-
ployees may obtain meals consisting Of
SOUP meat and vegetables for cents.
The intention is to furnish meals at cost.
At these two restaurants the sale Of
liquors IS forbidden. At Karlsruhe a
library, consisting of 1900 volumes, has
been furnished the employees. The res
taurants at the various depets thruout
Baden are rented to private individuals.
but government employees are furnished
meals at reduced rates. Some Of the res
taurants are sources of considerable rev.
enue; for instance. the depot restaurant
at Heidelberg rents for $1,000, at Mann
helm for $685. and at Ofenburg for
$4.760 per annum.
To show that the Baden government
lines amount to something, it may be
said that the rolling stock consists Of
755 locomotives, 1857 freight cars and
1857 passenger coaches During 1903
these lines carried 39,000,000 passengers
and 100000 pounds Of freight, and
as has already been pointed out, the
net profit was in excesssof $11 100000.
