A SCHOOLGIRLS COMPLAINT
Why Was the Declaration Signed
In Summer.

Opposed to the theory that the Suf-
ferlnE OF nervous and sensitive persona
ought to be aSSaugcd by cutting off as
much noise aS possible is the Sncaking
consciousness of good citizens that the
small boy was very Shabbily treated
when the American colonies rcvolted
from England. This is, indeed, one of
the most disCrelitablc chapters in our
history. Had the patriots ut Philadel-
phia fastened in their work or had
they gone to the other extreme and
prolonged their deliberations until au-
tumn the American boy to all genera
tons would have been provided with
real holiday-that is, a day in term
time when school does not keep and
there is something interesting to do
outside.
Instead of that jefferson and the
others put out their notable document
nj season when the schools are closed
anyhow. The boys thus defrauded are
entitled to little more license in their
efforts to make this day as different
as possible from the other days of va
cation. 1t would change the scheme of
things nightly to have the anniversary
OF Independence pass as quietly in
America MS say, Guy Fawkes' day

Keep the Flag FLYING!

The late Senator Hanna of Ohio in
speech on an appropriation bill said:
4 favor the erection of public build
inGS in every county and. if possible,
in every town in the land. l favor
such legislation because, although cost
ly. it keeps the flag floating before the
people, and it pays ultimately in the
lessons of patriotism which our young
people learn as they grow up. Know
ing the flag is to love it, and it should
he kept b'dore the people. New York

KING CHRISTIAN KICKED HIM.
Royal BRndmaster Forgot to Play
"The Star SpnnRIed Banner"


A short time after the civil war.
writes n correspondent of the New
York Times, small fleet of our ships
took the then assistant secretary of the
navy, Gustavus V Fox, to Europe to
cultivate international friendship.
While in Copenhagen the late King
Christian invited Mr.. Fox and the prin-
cipal officers of his fleet to dine. The
following incident of the visit was re-
lated to me by the late Rear Admiral
Alexander Murray, who was then in
command of the monitor Augusta:
From my seat at dinner looked out
on the pleasant lawn where the band
was stationed. After the principal bust
ness of the dinner was over, at the in
vitation of King Christian the glasses
were filled and, all the table being at
attention, his majesty arose and with
due formality proposed The president
Of the United States Glasses were
his shoulder and abruptly left the din
ing hall. The guests. upon invitation
of an aid, rcscatcd themselves.
I'm Il few minutes | saw the band
master come hurrielly into sight, fol-
lowed by the king who kicked him
across my field of view. shortly after
the king returned to the dining hall,
took his place ut the head of the table,
and, the guests having risen, again
proposed The president of the United
States As he raised his glass the
band struck up The Star Spangled
Banner With satisfied smile his
majesty emptied his g.aSs.
king Christian was democratic and
kind and beloved by his people, but all
things had to br done decently and in
order or he'd know the reason why"

Fashion and the Otter.
1t Is said that the sea otter is almost
extinct. It Is certain that men sometimes
watch for periods ranging from six to
eight months before they get a shot at one,
so they surely are scarce. Yet the census
of the worlds fur market shows that each
year almost six hundred sea otter skins
are brought in. and that means that twelve
of these rare animals killed for every
week in the year.
1t was fashion that killed off the egret,
Florida's beautiful white wader All that
women wanted OF this glorious creature,
one of the most beautiful birds that the
world ever produced, was the dainty plume
that grew on the male In the counting sea-
son. To get that the birds were slain
their reosts literally by the tens of thou
sands, the plume torn from them and the
slender, mutilated bodies cast aside So
frightful was the devastation that an egret
roost could be smelled many miles away
after the plume hunters got into Florida,
for the bodies of the birds lay in mounds
everywhere.
There are some egrets left yet; that Is,
a naturalist can find few scattered focks,
and he thinks that they are big ffocks and
that he is lucky man indeed II he sees
