FLAG WHICH HAS A HISTORY
Story of the Banner Which Was Used
to Drape President Lincoln's Box
at Ford's Theater.

AS the stream of visitors pours every
day into the treasury, writes a CORE
spondent to the Atlanta Constitution,
not one in a hundred stops at the mar
row room which is the headquarters of
the captain of the watch l had been
through the building so times before l
saw the interior of that room One day
its keeper said to me:
did you ever see my f1ag?"
On being told that had not he took
me into a plainly furnished room, whose
only ornament is a silk United States
flag, protected in glass frame.
That was the flag with which the
presidents box was hung on the night
of his murder by the mad assassin.
Booth shot Lincoln from the rear and
then leaped on the stage to make his
sickening proclamation of "Sic Semper
Tyrannis." AS he jumped from the box
his spur caught in this Gag and made a
rent of several inches.
During the war, Gen. Phil Cook.
of Georgia, pushed a brigade almost
to the gates of Washington, and had
the honor of leading the only con-
federate force that ever fought in
the District of Columbia. 1t was out
at Frazier's farm, on the Baltimore
Ohio railroad, and Gen. Cook says
that the dome of the capitol was clear
ly visible to his men as they fought.
1t was to meet this raid that a regi-
ment was formed out of the employees
of the various departments in Wash
ington- The city was full of southern
sympathizers, but a large number of
| ladies contributed to the purchase of
beautiful flag for the Home Guard
They bore it into one or two battles,
but it seems that it was never in any
lively quarters, as it was perfect when
Manager Ford borrowed it to drape
the presidents box OH the night of
his assassination 1t is now CROWN
yellow with age, but it is preserved
as one of the relics of our civil rev.
olution, as a thrilling testimonial of
one of the maddest acts ever perpe-
trated by a frenzied mortal.

QUICK JOB OF SLAUGHTERINC
How an Ohio Battery Captured Suf-
ficient Supplies for Its Even
ing Neal.

We knew it would be night before the
slow-paced baggage wagons reached
Bowling Green, and perhaps morning
before we could find them. The thought
made the soldiers ravenous. Clearly
something must be done to procure ra-
tionS for supper. Far off down the road
in front we could see a negro driving
an OK team, making his way home, prob
ably scared into an ague fit by the sud-
den appearance of the Yankees. 1t was
the first time, the reader must remem-
Der, that the federal troops had pene-
trated the south, and the ignorant peo-
pie regarded them with comical terror.
The negro was making what haste he
could to avoid being overtaken. AT this
moment wheel ran off the leading gun
carriage and the first detachment
haulted, drawing to one side to enable
the battery to pass. In minute or two
it was replaced, but by this time the bat
cry had Numbered by the OK team, 1eav-
| ing the negro, half paralyzed with fear,
sitting in his wagon by the roadside A
| hurried consultation in the detachment
resulted in the sergeant giving it one
minute to convert the oxen into beef,
says the correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader, who tells the story We ap-
preached the team on run, halted, and,
while the negro still sat on the wagon,
with staring eyes, shivering with
| fright, 20 men fell to the work of slaugh-
ter They worked like wild men for fear
of losing their rations. In a minute or
two it was all over, eight quarters of beef
adorned the caisson chests, the detach-
ment clattered on the run to overtake
the battery, and the negro still sat on his
wagon, gazing alternately at the hides,
heads and debris incumbering the yoke
and wagon tongue, and the flying artil-
lery disappearing down the road.

How Simple Hearted Mother Thought

During the war, says the Hartwell
(Ga.) Sun, when the militia were
about Savannah, an old lady who had

the depot at Greensboro with a pair
of wool socks which she wanted sent

Some men were walking about the de-

went in and told the old lady Jim

raised her spectacles, saw the old
socks, and requested the man to take
them down, remarking in a voice full
of pride and tenderness:

his old socks back for his nanny to

ACCOMMODATING SENTINEL
One of the Amusing Incidents of the
War Which Brightens Up More
Somber Phases

The colonel of an Alabama regi-
ment which served through the rebel
lion, says some one in the Grand
Army Sentinel, was famous for having
everything done in military style
Once, while field officer of the day, go
ing ON his tour of inspection he came
upon a sentinel sitting on the ground
with his gun entirely taken to pieces
The following dialogue then took
place.
Colonel-Don't you know that a
sentinel while on duty should always
keep on his feet?
Sentinel (without looking up)-
That's the way we used to do when
the war began. but that's outlawed
long ago
Colonel beginning to doubt if the
man was really on duty)-Are you
the sentinel here?
Sentinel-Well, I'm a sort of senti
mel

of the day.
Sentinel-Well, if you'll hold on till

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington,
which has been the kings Palace"
of the American People since it was
first occupied by President Madison
in 1909, has recently undergone a
thorough course of remodelling. reno
walton and repair. Every American
citizen is owner of an undivided
eighty or eighty-five millionth part of
the White House, as well as of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation of the remodelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House is so called-because it is lit
orally white house. The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim
pie lines of the White House, set in
the midst of green lawns and beauti
full trees, produce a very satisfying
effect of dignified simplicity, white
paint from a practical point of view
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be
cause any white paint is easily dis
colored by smoke and dust, and sec
ond, because ordinary white paint
ltSolI gradually turns gray OF DTOWu
ish yellow from exposure
But white the White House is and
white it must remain or it would nc
longer be the white House. So the
renovators, making the best of a dis
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable
The average citizen if asked to guess
what kind of paint they finally decid
ed on would probably answer-"white
lead and OIL" but he would guess
wrongly. The paint selected as the
best obtainable was ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
well furnished village store, such as
is used by more than half of the
eighty or eighty-f1ve million owners
of the White House on their OWL
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead of another is
a mere accidental detail-there are
fifty or a hundred brale1s on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact
a different brand was used in paint
ing the Capitol.
Every property owner, therefore
who paints his house with a higf
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who USED
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

REPAIRING BRAIN


Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure of modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from its heavier compan-
ion, a1bumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, If we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate OF
potash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and
that is the only way gray matter in the
brain can be built. 1t will not answer
to take the crude phosphate of potash
of the drug shop, for nature rejects it
The elemental mineral must be pre-
scented through food directly from ma
lures laboratory
These facts have been made use of
in the manufacture of Grape-N Nuts, and
any brain worker can prove the value
of the proper selection of food by max
ing free use of Grape-Nuts for ten days
or two weeks Sold by grocers every

JAPANESE ARMY Suffers.
The Canteen Follows Closely in the
Wake of the Moving
Troops.

One who was with the japanese
army in Manchuria for six months
says: "Old foreign campaigners re-
marked in the field that no army prob
ably ever had so many canteens in it's
wake When the army was not
marching there was always canteen
or two not far to the rear of every
division. When it settled down to
recuperate after a battle canteens
were quickly established in Manchu
houses. These carried cigarettes,
writing paper, postcards, beer, imita-
ton brandy, imitation whisky, imita-
ton port, imitation sherry, sake and
sometimes Manila cigars.
japanese are keen traders. Not
200 feet back of the Nanshan battery
one day in the seven-day battle of the
Shaho there was a Japanese peddler
selling cigarettes, Chinese sweetcakes,
rice and beer to the reserves. During
the same battle the canteens were
never more than three miles back OF
the front line of trenches.
AS the japanese soldiers pay is
only S1.36 a month and the army saw
ing banks had, considering that,
phenomenal deposits, there was not
much spending money in the army.
A bottle of beer cost ten cents and a
packet of cigarettes about three
cents.
Whenever there was a triing bat
tie the commander-in-chief would or
der sake distributed as a ration. On
the mikado's birthday year ago one
extra double packet of cigarettes was
distributed to each man in the field.
This cost the emperor more than $751;
900. Otherwise when the distribution
was possible ten cigarettes day went
with the regular ration
"One day in an American periodical
received at camp there was solemn
poem celebrating the abstinence OF
the Japanese from drink.
This caused concern among the
Japanese officers, who disliked the
emphasis laid upon the difference be-
tween their army and European
army and the commissary general
told the foreign observers:
"'Our soldiers like drink as we'll as
any other soldiers. Sometimes they
need it when they cannot get it and
we send it to them in the trenches
AS a matter of fact, though the peas
ant at home has hard enough time
to supply himself with food, he is not
more averse than other people to
strong liquor once he learns the taste
of it Many a man will go home from
the campaign with tastes he never
had before. The manufacture of beer
is still young industry in Japan, but
from the time the process was import
ed it has grown to enormous proper
tons. Headquarters, even battalion
| headquarters in underground bomb
proof trenches, were always supplied
| with beer or sweet wine Marshal
| Oyara liked sweet champagne. The
