PRESIDENTS OWN FLAG.
Not Generally Known That He Is
Allowed a Private One Under
the Law.

ut seems queer that with all these
flags flying around us, the one staff
not displaying the American colors
should be the fine steel spar on the
white house." said a naval officer on
a recent holiday, while standing on the
east portico of the state, war and navy
department building, and directly be-
low the big ensign floating from the
time-honOred staff.
81 know that the president Is out of
town, and that is why the flag is not
hoisted on this national holiday, but
that does not seem to me sufficient rea-
son for the failure to show the colors.
The fact is that the statutes require
the American flag to De displayed on
all public buildings during office hours,
and it is a question in my mind wheth-
er that law is not being evaded in the
case of the white house.
"Of course it is desirable to indicate
the presence or absence of the chief
executive from his home, but that
could be accomplished in a much bet
ter way and by recourse to the simple
aXpedient of allowing the president to
Sc his own flag to indicate his move
ments. That is what an admiral does
aboard a ship-one car always tell
from shore whether he is aboard his
flagship or not by the presence or abb
sence of his own flag pennant from the
mast end or signal arm.
Nov, perhaps it is not generally
known that the president by law and
regulation is authorized to fly his own
lag, and a very beautiful flag it is, a
blue silk field bearing the splendid
crest of the coat-of-arms of the United
| States in the center and heavily bor-
dered with gold. OF course these de-
tails could he modified to suit service
conditions and make the flag stand
rough weather, but the president GER
tainly should show his flag. And the
best way to do this would be to. have
the American flag hoisted over the ex-
~ecutive Office building daily, regardless
of the presidents whereabouts, indi-
eating it's national character, while
nothing should be flown from the steel
| staff on the white house but the presi-
dents blue flag when he is under
is roof"

BABY'S INSTINCT
Shows He Knew What Food to Stick To

Forwarding a photo of a splendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
1.-THE enclosed picture shows my 4
year-old Grape-Nuts boy.
"Since he was 2 years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He de-
mands and gets this food three times
a day. This may seem rather I'M
usual, but he does not care for any
thing else after he has eaten his
Grape-Nuts, which he uses with milk
or cream, and then he is through with
his meal. Even on Thanksgiving day
he refused turkey and all the good
things that make up that great din
ner. and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream with the best results and
none of the evils that the other foolish
members of the family experienced.
"He is never sick, has a beautiful
complexion, and is considered a very
handsome boy. May the Postum Com
pany prosper and long continue to
furnish their wholesome food" Name
given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek,
Mich.

Keifer Eccentric.

Gen. J. Warren Keifer, representative
elect from Ohio, has been creating a
mild sensation in Washington hotel lob
bies by wearing evening clothes in tho
daytime. The old war horse called at
the white house one morning attired in
a spike-tail coat, low-cut vest and tall
silk hat with no overcoat. Some one
asked if Gen. Keifer, who used to be
speaker of the house of representatives
long years ago, had merely donned his
evening clothes as a mark of respect
to the president. The inquirer was in
formed that the general was attired in
his usual manner and hat he never wore
any other coat than a swallow-tail.
This is one of the Ohio mans little &C.
centricities.

washington boasts Of a Depart
mental Baseball league" composed of
teams representing the various de-
partments. Several cabinet officials
make a point of attending the games,
which are played almost every after
noon on the big circle in the rear of
the white house. Secretary Metcalf
is the most enthusiastic rooter of the
lot. tho ugh Secretary Moody is a close
second. One of the most faithful at

pitcher while a student at Amherst.
He could have made big money as a
professional had he cared to take up
baseball instead of diplomacy.

UNCLE SAM'S SACK
Weigh Up Shows His Dust TaIIies With His Weigh.in Slips
 Exactly.

When Ellis H. Roberts was succeeded by Charles II. Trent as treasurer of the United States July last it became nec- essary to invoice the cash and securities in the treasury. The work was finished by Sept. 20 and the tally with the books was correct.
 The invoice was necessary to protect Roberts and his bondsmen and to enable Trent to give his predecessor a receipt for the vast sums entrusted to his care
 For weeks two shifts of negroes anC several overseers were engaged in count ing tons of gold and silver. During the first weeks of the count the gold anC paper filling the strong boxes in the basement of the treasury building were counted, no errors being found in the records of their contents. The biggest part of the undertaking was reserved fol the last week, when the huge receptacle known as Vault No. l was overhauled Composed of fifteen separate compart- ments, this vault contained 110, ,395 ,00C standard silver dollars. Each of the cages literally bulged with 7,299 900 sil- yer dollars in bags containing ,000 each The method of counting reduced the labor to the lowest minimum consistent each weighed on counterbalance scales, a bag of newly coined dollars being used as a standard of weight. Bags found short on the scales were carried to a sep arate compartment, where experts made an actual count of the contents.
 A bag of ,OO0 silver dollars, including the heavy sailor canvas bag, weighs sixty pounds, and the negroes had their hands full tn Swinging the money around. Owing to the oppressive atmosphere two shifts were used, so that one party of laborers could rest while the other worked
 From 5000, ,OO0 to s3,O0O,OOO in silver was handled daily, or matter of from sixty to ninety tons of metal. The gold was more easily weighed, eagles and double eagles being packed in bags oi S5, 900 each.

Chronicled By One of the
 Sarah's Passengers.
Incidents on River and Rail, and a Lively Experience in Storms
 at Sea...In Seattle.

tor the following excellent account Ot the trip of the large number of persons who left here on the Sarah for the out side. It is in the form of a diary, and was mailed the day of arrival at Seattle.
 Tuesday, Sept. Eve left Rampant on the Sarah last night little before l2 o'clock. We went to bed and took little sleep, and when we got up next morning we found everybody who had left Rampant the day before was feeling pretty good. It seemed like We were going somewhere.
 Wednesday, Sept. l3.-Nice and clear; frosty in the forenoon; good water in the Yukon Flats. Got to Fort Yukon at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. After about an hour the Sarah started for Circle City. Two passengers came aboard from koyukuk river. They did not give much encouraging news of that part of the country, although they were mining men and had made some money there. About o'clock the boat tied up for the night.
 Thursday, Sept. 1.-The boat started at I: 30 in the morning. She had to make many crook and turn and keep close watch not to get on d sand bar. We got to Circle at : o'clock in the evening. After unloading few articles the Sarah started up river at l at night. We found more snow at Circle City than at Fort Yukon. H. A. Young gave us some music at night on his graphiphone.
 Friday, Sept. l5.-We passed Wood chopper creek. They said there were about thirtyfve miners in the district and it was turning out pretty good. Next we passed what they call Wash ington creek. Some one got on board and told us that they have a big coal mine nine miles above the creek. They have a big traction engine which they will utilize to bring the coal onto the bank of the Yukon river. One of the government officials told us that Presi dent Roosevelt is coming to Alaska next summer.
 Saturday, Sept. l6.-We got to Eagle at I 30 in the morning. After paying Sl p for making out papers and showing the amount of golddust we had, We were told We were all right until We reached Dawson. We got to Fortymile in the evening.

The wind was blowing a regular gale The Jefferson was playing up and down in great shape. It looked like the waves were going to swallow us up. They would dash against the rocks around Us and fly thirty and forty feet high. It thundered and frightened and rained at the same time. It was sight to see how high the waves were plashing all around. It lasted about an hour and half. Then at 9 o'clock in the evening we got into Queen Charlotte sound.
