A Few Facts About the Flag.

The red in our flag stands for valOr,
the white for purity, the blue for JUS
tice. Our first Revolutionary flag gen.
orally used was called the Grand
Union flag. In this the colonists, who,
we must remember, were still English
men, kept the red ground Of the old
English flag, but striped 1t with white
bars, so that there should be thirteen
lists, or stripes as an emblem of the
thirteen colonies. Also, they kept the
blue field of the English Union Jack,
but took out the crosses of st. George
and ST. Andrew, and put instead thir
teen stars in a circle. This flag was
inaugurated by Washington at his
camp in Cambridge, Mass, In Janu-
airy, 1776, though it was not adopted
by Congress until the 14th of June,
17I7.
Some Of our flags of about this time
show the stars arranged in the blue
in the shape of one big star, and some
show them arranged in a circle. The
permanent present fashion was adopt
ed after 1918, when Congress passed
n resolution that a new star should
be added to the blue field for every
rev State admitted to the Union
Woman's Home Companion.

fEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS
DIG Not Disappear Until the Blood
was Renewed by Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills

'hN Af9s
typhoid fever is sometimes called ner
vous fever. During the course of the
fever the nerves are always profoundly
disturbed, and when it is over they are
left so sensitive that the patient has to
be guarded against all excitement. In the
tonic treatment then demanded, regard
must be paid not only to building up flesh
Dut also 10 strengthening the nerves. a
remedy That will do both, make sound
nesh 70 repair waste and give new vigor
70 Ieepie nerves, is the most convenient
ana economical. Such remedy is DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
One proof of this S the experience of
Mr.. Charles Worth, of East Vassalboro,
Name. He says: Z" I had severe at
tack OF typhoid fever late i'll the fall
which lett me very weak and debilitated.
My heart paipitated, my breathing be-
came difficult after the least e.lertion and
there was numbness in both hands. /
suffered in that way for fully six months.
As did not grow out of it, did not in
fact see the slightest Improvement as
time passed, decided to use DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills as knew of some cures
they had effected in cases like mine.
Almost as soon as l began taking
them l could see decided improvement
and after keeping on with them for
several weeks l was completely well. l
consider DR.. Williams Pink Pills most
valuable remedy, and am in the habit
OF recommending them to others afflicted
as was''
When the nerves ache and trem-
bic it means that they are Starving. The
only way to feed them is through the
blood, and the best food is Dr. Williams
Pink Pills. They are absolutely guaran-
teed to be free from opiates or other harm
full drugs. They are sold by all drug
gists, or may be obtained directly from

$500 FOR LINCOLN HOME
OLE Kentucky Farm Knocked Down
to New-Yorker

AT Hodgenville, Ky, the Abraham
Lincoln birthplace was sold the other
day by Commissioner Handley. There
were a number of bidders present, but
the farm sold for $1,000, much less than
was expected. The purchaser was II. ].
Collier of New York. He will get pos
session in December. He has not yet
decided what he will do with it, and
probably it was bought as an investment.
L he farm contains 110 acres and the
price was not much more than the prop
crty is worth for farming purposes.
Since the birth of Lincoln, on Feb. -,
lSo9. the farm had changed hands but
twice. Thomas Lincoln, the father of
the President, sold the land to Richard
Crecl about the time the Lincoln family
moved TO Indiana. The property contin-
ued in the hands of this family until
something like fifteen years ago, when A.
w. Dennette of New York bought the
place for $1,000.
So the birthplace of Kentucky's most
noted son for third time has become
merely so much county and State taxa
BILE property, which. Judging by the past.
the owners will have some slight diff
Guilty in keeping up.
During the last decade or so many at
tempts have been made to perfect plans
looking TO the converting of the property
into national park, and, while these eff
forts have aroused some comment, moth
ing substantial has resulted. Thomas 3.
kirkpatrick, postmaster at Hodgenville,
has tried in vain to awaken a patriotic
interest though he still believes that the
time is not far distant when the people
VIII appreciate the opportunity that has
50 long been neglected, and then in true
American style make the most of it.
The farm derives its name from
large spring about 100 yards from the
log cabin in which Lincoln was born.
In its present state the tract is cut in
twain by Il broad thoroughfare, pictur-
esque to 4 degree, and winding through
as lovely a spot as heart could wish to
know. Two miles to the north is Hod-
genville, typical of Kentucky, with pop
ulation of about 1000. \ branch of the
Illinois Central connects the town with
the outside world, and a combination
freight and passenger train makes two
trips daily to Cecilia, seventeen miles
away.
The records of Hardin county show
that the farm was bought by Thomas
Lincoln In 1903 with funds witch he had
earned as a carpenter. In 1914 a joint
deed was made by Thomas Lincoln and
Nancy Lincoln. At the time the farm
came into the family of Lincoln, Thomas
Lincoln was not yet %. showing that he
was 4 man possessed of more than ordi-
nary thrift. instead of careless and SHIFT
less, as some biographers have seen
proper to picture him.

Beautiful Gettysburg Park

General John P. Nicholson, chair
man of the national Gettysburg COM
mission, returned recently to Pennsyl-
vania. THE principal Improvements
on the Gettysburg battlefield will be
completed this year." he said. "After
that the government will be obliged to
appropriate money every year to keep
the park up. The general government
has spent about $I20,0O0 ON the park
since 1898. The State governments
have expended about $2,5OO.OOO in the
park. There are twenty-six miles Of
the finest roads in the country run
ming through the park. They are Of
Telford paving. West Confederate
avenue is a fine sight from the fact
that the position of each Confederate
army is marked by two or four guns
that stand in the positions they occu
pied at the battle. There are ninety
six cannon in distance of three and
half miles.
''As result of the money spent by
the State governments, the finest
bronze and granite monuments in the
world can be found there Pennsylva-
mia has spent SI2600O for three eques-
trian statues of Generals Meade, Han
cock and Reynolds respectively. New
York erected $4,000 equestrian
statue of General Slocum.
"a new road called Meredith avenue
has just been completed in front of
the Mcpherson woods now called
Reynolds woods and marking the
place where General Reynolds, the first
general officer killed at Gettysburg
died). The avenue is named after Cen
eral Meredith, commander of the Iron
Brigade. 1t passes the line held by
the Iron Brigade at the battle.
"The commission has tried to restore
the original forests as they stood at
the time of the battle. Part of the
battlefield was covered with trees and
dense underbrush. For various rea-
sons the timber was removed, and cul-
tivated fields were replacing the forest
places when the commission began the
work of improving the field. About
$4,000 forest trees have been planted
in the last five years

Thirty-five cases of yellow fever were
discovered the other day in the settle
ments Of fishermen on the bayous and
lakes in Jefferson parish, La. by DIR. C.
Milo Brady, who made tour of inspec-
ton under directions from the State
hoard of health. Most of the cases are
along Bayou Bara taria, twenty-five miles
from New Orleans, where a number of
deaths have occurred. The patients are
principally Portuguese and Spaniards,
and there is much suffering among them.
The State board will send physician
and two nurses to the place Immediately,
and 4 supply of medicines and provisions
also will be forwarded.
The local situation continues to be of
the most hopeful character. and the con-
fidence of the federal authorities is grow
ing that the disease will have practically
disappeared before frost. The earliest
recorded frost in New Orleans occurred
in the second half of October, but the
average appearance is between the mid
die of November and December.

Ducks Came When Most Needed

Miller Correspondence ST. Paul Dispatch
The walking south through town of a wild
goose that had become exhausted in flight
or wounded recalls the incident of a few
years ago when wild duck In it's swift pill
grimage south at night few through win
dow in the old court house into a room
where a party of card players were enjoy
ing themselves, leaving them In the dark.
as the bird struck the lamp and put out the
light. One or two of the party would not
play after that, believing that the duck had
been sent by the Lord as a warning against
card playing.
Another odd incident of similar nature
occurred south of Seneca, In Faulk county
when, on dark, stormy night, while a
family of homesteaders were lalnenting
their Ill fortune OF having no meat. In the
house they were startled to hear heavy
thuds against the outside of the building
when investigation with a lantern disclosed
the fact that wild ducks had flown against
it and had fallen to the ground TO be easily
picked up in their dazed condition This
settled the meat question, and there were
some who figured that the ducks had been
providentially misguided that night in their
journey south.

A Deadly Tide.
the philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
A Philadelphia girl was recently over
taken and drowned by the incoming tide on
the west coast of France. A transplanted
Breton said of this fatality
Can you, who see your own tides crawl
In at the rate of ten feet or so an hour,
imagine tides racing like wild white horses
I'D that fat sands at the rate of half mile
a minute.
1.-THE extraordinary fatness of our Breton
coasts gives us these phenomenal tides.
The sea does not rise and fall. 1t appears
and disappears. You have vast and fiat
plain of sand. At a set hour the sea rushes
in white, wild, submerging this vast plain
At a set hour an unseen hand sucks the
waters back-thirty, forty, fifty mles-and
nothing is visible but the plain of pale sand
again.
''Woe unto such as walk on this desolate
plain when the tide begins to rise, for they
must drown. Nothing can save them
