.Jas all gone. I looked down from the
pagoda and told pa the elephant was
drinking again. and had drank wash
tub of beer, but pa couldn't say any,
thing, cause he was doing the Arab
sheik act, and had to look dignifed, as
though he was praying to Allah.
But just then the band struck up,
and we started down the main street
of Steubenville The people began
to cheer, cause our elephant began to
hippity- hop, and waltz sideways
across the street and back again, and
/ thought pa would die. In the parade
one man on a horse attends to the ele-
plants, so the sheiks don't have any
thing to say, and pa remained like a
statue, and told me and the Circassian
beauties to be calm, and trust in him
and Allah. This Allah business was
all right when the elephant waltzed,
but when we got to the next block the
beast began to stand on his hind feet,
and pa and the houris rolled to the
back end of the howdah, and were all
piled in a heap, while I held on to the
cloth of gold over the elephants head.
Pa yelled to the people on horseback
to kill the elephant, and the crowd
cheered, thinking it was the best per-
Torrance they ever saw in a free street
parade, and the animals in the cages
behind were yapping as though they
knew what was going on. The ele-
plant got down on to all tours, and
we Strengthened up in the pagoda, and
for block or so the beast only waltzed
around. AS we got to some sort of
a public square, where there were
thousands of people, the stale beer
seemed to be getting in it's work, for
the elephant looked at the people, as
much as to say: "Now l will show you
something not down on the bills and,
by ginger, if he didn't raise up his

FARM HOUSE BURNED.
Mr. & Mrs Robert Adair near Leigh
ton Suffer Loss of Home.

The home of Robert Adair and fam
lily, of Scott township, about three
miles south Of Leighton, was destroy
ed by fire between ten and eleven
o'clock Sunday morning. The house
and almost all of the household goods
were burned, entailing a loss of per-
haps fifteen hundred dollars. Mr..
Adair had not cent of insurance on
house or goods.
The fire had good start in the roof
when it was discovered. The daugh-
ter ran to the nearest phone to give
the alarm and call for assistance.
The house stood in such situation
that the fire could not be seen by any
excepting couple of neighbors, and
the alarm was not needed, the neigh
bors believing it an attempt at an
"April Fool' joke. A couple of neigh
bors responded but the help was no,
sufficient and only a part OF the goods
could be taken out.
The fire caught in the goods that
were piled outside. The wind was
high and the fire was driven through
the grass, catching in the bedding,
and before the workers were aware,
almost, all of the goods that had been
carried from the house we're wrapped
in flames.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adair are well along
in years. They have been working
the small farm, which they own,-a
forty-acre piece of ground, and the
loss falls with undue severity.

This famous hostelry on the
superb plateau of The Allegheny
Mountains known as the Glades,
opened June %, after a most COM
plete renovation of the entire
property, making it new through
out. The twelve private cottages
were refurnished, and the thirty
third wear of this beautiful moun-
tain resort finds it more prepos-
sessing and enjoyable than at any
time in its history.
The popularity of Deer Park Is
due to its desiFble altitude, $500
feet above the sea level, out OF
reach of malaria and mosquitoes;
an its magnificent parking of 500
acres of forest and lawn, and miles
of perfectly kept roadways, affords
most delightful surroundings

The New Star In The Flag.

After consultation between
Quartermaster- General Humphreys
and Admiral Cowles, chief of the
Equipment Bureau of the Navy
Department, the two officers who
are charged with the making and
issuing of the national flags to the
arm and navy respectively, it has
been decided that the admission
into the Union of the State of
Oklahoma shall be recorded by the
addition of a star in the blue field
of the flag placed at the lower
right hand corner.
AS several things remain to be
done before the new State is actual
ly admitted, and as the law pro
vides that the additional star shall
only be set in the field at the be.
ginning of the next fiscal year after
the State is one in fact, the Okla
homa star will not be seen on the
national ensign until July 1, 1907.
The 45 stars are now arranged in
the flags in six rows, the first, third
anu fifth rows having eight stars
and the second, fourth and sixth
rows seven stars.
The existing arrangement Of the
stars has obtained since July 4,
1896, on which date star was
added to the flag in honor of the
admission of Utah to the union of
States in the preceding March.
Under the law the star is added on
the Fourth of July following the
admission of the State which it
represents, and not on the exact
date of the admission of the State.
This is why it will not be proper
to add the star for Oklahoma before
the next Fourth of July, despite
the probability that actual State
hood in the case of Oklahoma may
be accomplished before that date.
