wrangle Over the Game,

Ex-Congressman BILLY" By1um, of
Indiana, and Comptroller of the Treas
ury Tracewell meet regularly two or
three times a week and play billiards
in a Washington room. Like school
boys playing marbles for keeps" these
big fellows wrangle over the game.
Bynum is getting little hard of hearing
and hence he does not do so very much
talking, but Tracewell argues every
point like a lawyer in court, and his
voice is not as mild as a summer zephyr.
either. He has been told that he plays
an eloquent game of billiards" At times
both will become sulky and quarrel furi-
ously, but when the cues are replaced In
the rack they become the best of friends
again, only to break out once more when
next they meet at the billiard table.

MY BOSTON BEAN-PoT.

What old-time fancies come from far
As sit brooding Ger this Jar.
This old brown jar Of pork and beans
Which brings me back to the childhood's
scenes
No toll those Sabbaths could abide
in that new land the Pilgrims pride.
From set Of sun on Saturns night,
Till set of sun closed Sundays light.
When Night her kindly curtains drew
The Sabbath preparations through
And Sabbath stiffness settled down
Upon that old New England town,
And wintry waves broke on the shore,
And wintry winds howled round the door,
And shrieked across the barber bar
How welcome was that old bean jar.
The homely kitchen. large and low,
With cheerful fireplace aglow,
Tie old deal table, white al snow,
The settle by the tables side,
The blue delf dishes-mother's pride
The freight dancing on the wall,
And then. the welcome supper call,
While on the table, smoking hot,
My mother placed the old bean pot.
The rich aroma Of that Jar
Comes 10 me down the years afar;
The sweet brown bread and fragrant steam
OF pork and beans, live in my dream,
And this old mans boy once more
Upon that bleak New England shore;
Vanished the years that lie between
This present and that pot Of beans.
Were gustatory relish dead
'Twould live again in that brown bread
And stated appetite, l wot,
Would quicken round that old bean pot;
But, best Of all, my youths renewed
AS Ger that old bean pot l brood;
The gates OF childhood stand ajar,
Though closed for years-by that bean Jar.

OLDEST TREASURY CLERK.
Passing of a Department Employe
Who Had Served Since
1868.

William F. Dean, a 93-year-old
clerk, who was employed in the treas
ury department, died few days ago at
he home of his stepdaughter, Mrs. Ar
mold S. Yantis, in Auburn, N. Y. Ac-
eompanied by his wife, Mr.. Dean had
gone to Auburn a few weeks ago upon
a visit. Up to that time he had re-
NAMED on duty at his desk in the &C
counts division of the internal revenue
branch of the treasury, rendering eff
icient and faithful service. When he
went away he felt sure that he would
be able to return at the conclusion of
his vacation and resume his work.
Mr. Dean had been in the treasury
since 1863, up to which time he had
been a Universalist minister. He was
born near Rochester. N. Y, in 1872,
entering the ministry when a young
man. During the last winter, despite
the heavy SHOWS, he walked from his
home, 1913 Kingman place, to Four
teenth street, where he took the cars.
Mr.. Dean has been married twice, and
leaves a number of children.

PRESIDENTS OWN FLAG.
Not Generally Known That He Is
Allowed 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.
Il 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 be displayed on
all public buildings during office hours,
and it is 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
expedient of allowing the president to
use his own flag to indicate his move
ments. That Is what an admiral does
aboard a ship-one can 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.
Now, perhaps it is not generally
known that the president by law and
regulation is authorized to ny his own
flag, and a very beautiful flag 1t 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 be 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
its roof"

utterly bewildered, suddenly l caught
sight of my ghost. There, in plain
sight Of me, was great gray rat, going
backward down the stairs, and dragging
in his mouth a big bone. This, OF
course, dropped from stair to stair with
dull thud' that we hear so much
about, and gave exactly the effect of
person going stealthily down the stairs.

THE FIRE F|END.
TunneltOn Suffers Heavily Last Sat-
uFday Night.
The Business Section Of the Town
Wiped Out, With a Loss
Exceeding $4,000.

TUNNELToN, w. Va, June a.
On Saturday at II o'clock fire was
discovered in the basement of the
Adams & Co. four.story building.
The town has no water works and
before the first bucket brigade could
be formed the fire got beyond con-
troll. The fire spread to adjoining
buildings and for a while ii looked
as if the entire town would be de-
stroyed. The losses exceed s3s,-
900. The only thing that saved the
town from destruction was tn e
prompt dynamit,ng of buildings on
either side of the buildings in flames.
This checked the progress of the
fire and the heroic work of the
bucket brigade kept down the sparks
flying to adjoining buildings.
The following buildings were
totally destroyed: Adams & Co.,
merchants, building and contents;
Tunnelton Hardware Co, building
and contents; r. S. Philips, lost
all of furniture, the house belonging
to NJ. c. Gibson; Harry c. Myers,
saved part of his furniture, house
owned by Link Sidwell; Hugh w.
Bonafeld, dwelling and contents
destroyed; John O. Edwards, dwell
ling and part of household goods;
w. J. Lavelle, dwelling and part of
household goods.
The Philips and Edwards dwell
ling houses were dynamited after
taking fire. This is the only thing
that arrested the progress of the fire
as the Adams & Co. building is in
the heart of the town.
The loss is estimated as follows:
Adams & Co., $4,000; Tunnelton
Hardware Co., $500 John o.
Edwards, So, 900; II. w. Bonafeld,
$4,000; II. c. Myers, $500; Link
Sidwell, 1900: r. S. Phillips,
$500; M. c. Gibson, So, 900; w. ].
Lavelle, S., 900.
Property partially damaged by
fire; John Nevil, $3.50; !. L. Gibson
5000 Geo. w. Miller, $500; Mer-
chant White, SG5o.
The fire is thought to be of incen-
diary origin, as Adams & Co.
state there has been no fire about
the building for the past week.
What lends color to the incendiary
theory is that when the fire was
discovered the electric lights we're
not burning in the buildings which
were left burning when the store
was closed for the night. Several
people we're caught carrying away
articles from the stores and dwell.

THE CAUSE.

What was the cause of Hon. Jas.
S. Lakin's defeat1 Most assuredly
the Republican fake Tax Reform
which they have inflicted upon the
common people. The election of
Col. Thos. b. Davis to Congress is
not Democratic victory, but a
most glorious victory of the COM
mon people. We recognize that it
was not possible to have elected
Col. Tom Davis were it not for the
fact that our good Republican
friends, who are as deeply interest
ed in genuine Tax Reform as the
Democrats, who rose above party
prejudice and joined hands with US
TO stamp our disapproval of the in
famous tax laws. All honor to the
Republicans of Preston who so
ably assisted in the magnificent vic
tory for just and equita BILE tax law.
Now let the people, the common
people, which the Journal finds
pleasure in casting odium upon, get
together once more and at the next
election We will sweep the State.
The people have gotten their eyes
open and they propose to keep them
open.
Hurrah for the common people !
God bless them.

1t is no disgrace to the Hon. Jas.
s. Lakin that he has been beaten.
1t made but very little difference
whom the Republicans nominated
he would have met the fate of Mr..
Lakin. The people had made up
their minds that they could no long
er indorse the Republican nominee
which would be proclaimed by the
Republican Machine as an indorse-
ment of their tax laws.
