An Inspiring Sight.
II was an inspiring sight as these

that bore them forty years ago and

AS the flags were borne into the

almost shook the capital itself and
after the program had been eonclud-

take in their hands the tattered and
faded folds of the standards whica
shone SO brightly wnen flung to the
Florida breeze nearly half century
ago.
Ex-Governor Jennings address was
an eloquent one. He paid a fine tri-
butte to the spirit which prompted the
return by the Federal government Of
! the captured flags to their respective
states and he spoke with even greater
eloquence in the eulogy which he paid
his cid comrades OF the war.

a week we will be doing stunts in
Paris that will bring about a revolu-

France, and seat some nine-spot on
the throne that Napoleon used TO wear
out his buckskin pants on.
Dad asked me tother day what /

by the bold highwaymen of a century

was not reading them, and that he
had read them all himself when |
thought he was studying for his cam

would go with me. So we visited

something about fox hunting, not a

and dad rolled of over the boWsprit
and went into q ditch of dirty water

the ditch, and run him through Il

my horse back to the liveryman and
told him what happened to dad, and
they locked me up in a box stall until

thought dad was q horse thief, and
they held me for ransom. But dad
came around before night and paid
my ransom, and we were released.
Dad says Rotten Row is rotten, all
right enough, and by ginger it is,
cause he has not got the smell of that
ditch Oft his clothes yet.
Now he has got a new idea, and
that is To go to some country where
there are bandits, different from the
bandits here in London, and be cap

heads off and stick them on a pole

going to be ransomed before he gets

That night a couple Of dukes came
around to the hotel to sell dad some

how English society held over our

an addition to the mad he had when
