 from Watery Grave.
 Allen Goddard and his sister Ruth, of Salisbury, had very narrow escape from drowning on Lakeville lake, Sat- urday afternoon. They were skating very rapidly out near the middle of the lake, Allen pushing Ruth in front of him. when they suddenly came to thin ice and both plunged in. Ruth shot under the ice and would have drowned but for her brothers agility in grasping her clothing and lifting her head out of the water. He managed to cling to the ice with one hand and with the other lift his sister from the water, and then climb out himself. It was certainly most heroic act. and showed great presence of mind and wonderful strength. No ill effects followed their cold plunge.

England's National Color.

Why red should have been selected
as the National color becomes intell-
igible when we look at the Cross OF
st. George. Sir Walter Scott, when
he wrote OF how their own sea hath
whelmed those red cross powers, 7
was merely anticipating the phrase
of to-day. But oliver Cromwell,
when for the first time he put the
English soldier In a red coat, prob
ably did as much as St George to
monopolize red as the national color.
The aggressive color has however.
many meanings. and has lent itself
TO many uses. In the days of the
Romans, when 1t barred on the head
of a slave, it stood for freedom; In
the days OF the French Revolution
II stood for freedom backed by blows
while in the streets of the city to-
day the 'tred" cross stands for succor.
So far back as the reign of Henry
H. there was a red beck Of the
Exchequer. record OF the names
