"OId Glory's Birthday"

When the st. Louis Globe Democrat
talks politics it usually talks arrant
nonsense. When 1t gets off that sub
ject it frequently says good things
occasionally fine things. To the latter
category belongs the following edito-
rial, which it recently published under
the head Of "Old Glory's Birthday"
In the genesis of the American flag
June IA has the same sort of place that
July has In the development of the
American nation. 1t was on June IA, TIT,
that the Continental congress adopted a
resolution recitlng that "the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars. white, In a blue field,
representing a new constellation" This
was eleven months after the Declaration
of Independence 1t was two years and
two months after the embattled farmers
at Concord bridge "flred the shot heard
round the world" Yorktown, however,
the last battle of the Revolution, was
four years and four months in the future.
The flag has seen some vicissitudes
since that day more than century and a
quarter ago, when the decree went out for
its creation 1t has fioated in wars against
England, Mexico and Spain. as well as
against the pirates of the Barbary coast
and likewise In great civil conflict. In
every case. Notwithstanding temporary
defeats. 1t has been ultimately victorious.
1t has, in wars, floated in many seas.
from the Mediterranean, the British chan
mel and the gulf of Mexico over to the
Philippines, In the shadow of Asia.
Today the flag will fly from military
posts, naval stations and great centers
of civilization extending halfway round
the globe The thirteen states which 1t
typifiod in the beginning have grown to
forty-ive, and the 5000 900 of people have
expanded to S300O,OO0. In these days,
when the United States. the most power
full as well as the most peaceful of all
the great nations. is bringing bellgerents
together and ending the greatest war of
the age, the flag carries with 1t more
glory and prestige than any other banner
extant. 1t floats over an immeasurably
greater nation and wields far larger in
fluence In the world than it did long ago.
when Norris sung of 1t as typifying
1.-THE union of lakes. the union of lands,
The union of states none can sever;
The union of hearts, the union of hands,
And the flag of our Union forever"

Habit Maa Too Strong.

The force of old associations, as
Samuel Beverly learned one Sunday
morning, is something against which
to be on guard. After thirty years
of service as a railroad man, chiefly
in the capacity Of conductor, Bey-
erly had retired and was spending
his days quietly in his native town.
Just after he had taken his ac-
customed seat one morning in
church he was requested to perform
the duty of an absent deacon, by
assisting in taking up the collec-
ton. He was proceeding decorous-
ly along the aisle with the plate
when, half way down the aisle, he
came to the Atkinson pew. On this
morning Mrs. Atkinson's Uncle
Harvey, who happened to sit next
the aisle, had dropped off into a
pleasant little nap.
When Beverly espied the old man,
he unconsciously doffed the demean-
or suited to the place and in a twin
king became official. He tapped
the sleeping man on the shoulder.
Ticket, pleasew he demanded,
sharply and audibly.

All In hsr Eye.

A woman noted for her good
management phrase which is
often a euphuism for. parsimony-
was making some garments for her
small daughter. She had limited
herself as to material, and, proud
of her success in achieving much
with little, exclaimed as she finished
her work, "There's not enough left
to put in your eye"
A few moments after she was hor-
rifed to see the aforesaid small
daughter, seated on the floor, pa
tiently and painfully filling her eyes
with the tiny scraps of cloth scat
tered over the carpet.
Dorothy" her mother cried,
"what are you doing?"
"Why, mamma" the matter Of
fact Dorothy responded, "you said
there wasn't enough to put in your
eye, and there's enough for both Of

Mr.. potY of Texas.

There is news item floating around
In the papers which If it turns out to
be true will cause President Roosevelt,
the modern Nlmrod, bad half hour
In fact, several of them. 1t Is dis
patch from KountZe, Tex, telling how
one George Doty, who was out black
berrying, was attacked by 600 pound
female bear and how, being unarmed,
he, the aforesaid Doty, pounded with
his fist that irate brute into insensi-
bility, bound her hard and fast with
grapevines, as Delllah bound Samson,
and then, having killed her with club,
turned her over to his fellow blackber-
ry hunters. So long as that tale goes
Colonel Roosevelt cannot write "Ex-
celsior" on his banner. He will have
to seek the bears again and keep doing
something; otherwise Doty of Kountze,
Tex, will wear the belt as bear batter,
or, rather, bear beater. He should
also receive one Of Andrew Carnegie's g
hero medals. Likewise James j. JEFF
fries of California, who recently re-
tired from the roped arena because
thert Wus nO Ole worthy VI his uSt,
may be compelled by public opinion
to change his notion and return to the
ring to meet Doty of Kountze, Tex,
the only man, living or dead, that ever
defeated a bear with his fists. Other
wise people may doubt the Jeffries
valor. Doty had no idea when he was
pummeling that bear in that Texas
blackberry patch that he would cause
CONSERVATION and jealousy both in the
White House and in the princely man
sion of the retired Jeffries. Lord By
ron said, "I awoke one morning and
found myself famous" Same way
with George Doty of Kountze, Tex.
He led, for few minutes, at least, the
strenuous life for sure.

THE FIRST COLE BALLS.
They Were Made Of Bulps Hide Stuffed
With Feathers.

WIN featnoro.
The first golf balls were made OF
leather of untanned bulls hide, two
round pieces forming the ends and
piece for the middle. These pieces
were softened, shaped and firmly
sewed together, small hole being
left through which the feathers
might afterward be inserted.
Before stuffing the leather sphere
was turned outside in--an operation
not without its difficulties-so that
the Seams would be on the inside.
The skin was then placed in
cup shaped stand, the worker hav-
ing the feathers in an apron before
him, and the stuffing was done with
steel rod.
This was very hard work, as may
be Imagined. The aperture was then
closed, the seam sewed up, and the
only seam showing was this tiny
one.
But the life of each ball was short.
The seams soon opened, and the
feathers protruded. On a wet day
the water would be seen driven OIL
in a shower every time the ball was
struck.
And the moisture added to it's
weight, so that ball that started
as a twenty weight would soon weigh
a pound. If the match was an i'm
portaiit one new ball must be put
down at each hole.
With these disadvantages one can
see that new, kind Of bali was much
needed and made many converts to
the game.
Although the gutta percha ball
used ON the links is seemingly per-
feet, the inventor is busy trying to
make one even better. The ball
| made of this material has been in
use since 1913.
A golfer of that period expert
mented with a piece Of india rubber
and succeeded in fashioning il into
shape. But when it was put into
use it was found that it was not a
success.
1t would leave the club all right,
but after going a short distance it
would duck down, so its use was
abandoned.
The caddies amused themselves
with the discarded invention until
it was pretty well nicked up. To
the surprise Of everybody the ball,
with the addition Of the cuts, could
sail through the air much better
than the old one.
The next mold was nicked to give
the gutta percha sphere the same
lines, and this, with one improve
ment after another, is the ball in
use today.-New York Journal.
