MISSING GIRLS
ARE DISCOVERED
Milwaukee Tots Fail in Their Plan
to Go to Canada and Are
Taken Home.

Milwaukee. June 9.-Tattered and
torn, tanned and tired, Ada Butler, L
years Of age, and Hazel Ross, 10 years
of age. were brought to the police sta
ton late in the evening after search
ing parties in the west end of the city
had failed to locate the missing school
mates in two days. Twenty miles
from home, on the banks of Pewaukee
lake, the children were found by Sher-
if KunZ, of WaukeSha and Detective
Thomas NIulholland after the local po-
lice had been notified that the girls
had been seen in that vicinity.
1t was not the return of two re-
pentant runaway children, glad to get
back home after a childish prank. 1t
was rather lne disappointed return of
two children whose plans had been in
terfered WITH and whose fun had been
spoiled. For three weeks the school
mates have planned on the trip and
several times they have remarked that
they We're going to Canada. Once in
Canada-like the fugitive from JUS
tice. they could not be compelled to
return home they said.

AI1bamS's State Flag,

Over the historic capitol at Mont
eOmery waves not the national flag.
but the Alabama flag. and not one Ala
bamian in a thousand would recognize
it if he saw it elsewhere than on the
capitol. The flag in question has no
history woven into it, for it was not
adopted until 1895. 1t presents a St.
Andrews cross in crimson on a white
field. Such a cross is shaped like let
ter y, and the books suggest that the
apostle Andrew died on a cross of that
design. Few if any other states in
dulge in flags Of their own. A flag is
the symbol of sovereignty, and state
sovereignty is limited by the federal
constitution. When we were part of
Georgia we granted to the federal gov
eminent the executive power Of pun
ishing treason, and if any one becomes
traitor to the Alabama flag we might
have to call in the federal government
in order to punish him.-Birmingham

The Tongues of the Balkans.

Too many languages are spoken in
the balkans. A traveller in that region
writes of the babel: Turkish, Bulga-
rian, Serbo-Croatian, Roumanian, Ar
menian, Greek, Albanian, Kulzo-Wal-
lachiun, Chingeni, the language of the
gypsies; Spaniole, the language Of the
Jews of Spanish or Portuguese descent,
and the language spoken by the Ger
man, Austrian, Roumanian and Rus
sian Jews Add to this Arabic, Per
sian and Syrian, largely spoken in Con-
stantinople; Italian, on the northeast
coast of the Adria; Russian, in the
northeastern parts of Roumania; vari-
GUS Austro- Hungarian idioms spoken
in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the
Caucasion languages of the Circassians
and Georgians." Not one of these Ian
guages is of common use.

The Lone Star of Texas.

The origin of the Lone Star flag of
the republic of Texas is not entirely
clear. The claim has been made that
it was unfurled in the present territory
of Louisiana i'll 1910, but other search
ers cannot find earlier trace Of it than
the presentation of such a banner to
the company Of Captain Andrew Rob-
inson in May, 1885. Still another claim
is made for flag unfurled at Velasco
JAM. s, 1886, and said to have been
made by Miss Troutman of Nashville,
Ga. One story has it that the star
came from the fact that Governor
Smith, for lack of a seal, used brass
button from his coat which bore a five
pointed star.-St Louis Republic.

The Word GsCausiza."

Etymologists are driven to pure con-
lecture to explain the origin of the
word ''capsize." One of them suspects
that it comes from the Spanish Ian
guage, as so many sailors words do,
and may be connected with "cabe-
GEAR" to nod the head in sleep or to
pitch as ship, and with 'capuzar I'm
baxel,' to sink ship by the head
"cabeza'' meaning head. Another guess
based on the fact that 'capsize' is an
English dialect word for moving a
hogshead by turning it over alternate
ly on to it's two heads-is that the word
is simply cap" head, and "seize."

Compares the Two Reports.
Some of the ground traversed by
Messrs. Neill and Reynolds is not
touched upon in the report of the COM
mfttee Of the agricultural department.
AS to the ground covered in common
by the reports of the two invpstigat-
ing committees there is no conflict in
substance as to the important mat
tiers although there is a marked diff
ference in emphasis, this being padtial-
ly due to the greater length and de-
tail of the report of the committee of

Judgment the emphasis of the report
of MesSrs. Neill and Reynolds is album
dainty justified by the facts.
