Statistics published by the bu-

Whether or not this abandonment of

CONFEDERATE FLAGS.
Committee of Veterans Completes
Its Report.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July s, The
committee appointed by Major-Gen-
eral stephen ID. Lee, commander-in-
chief of the United Confederate Vet
Grams. consisting of A. C. Trippe, of
Baltimore; Samuel Z. Lewis, of
Washington, ID. c.; ]. F. ShiRp, of
Chattanooga, Tenn; Fred L. Rob
ertson, of Tallassee, and j. Taylor
Ellyson, of Richmond, has complet-
ed its report on the battle flags of
the Confederacy. For the purpose OF
settling the question of the battle
flags, records have been searched the
committee having been at the work
for three years, being appointed at
Nashville in 1904. There are seven
flags designated as official In the re-
port of the committee, these being
the stars and bars, the battle flag
with the Greek cross of blue, stars
of white on red field. two national
flags of white with the battle flag
in miniature and three naval flags.
All of these facts have been placed
in booklet called 1.-THE Flags Of the
Confederate States of America, 4"
which contains full description of
each. 1t will be ready for distribution

Teaching what he has studied give,

country, better men, simpler men
more honest men, than We in the
city. We may laugh at their old
fashioned notions sometimes, but
they possess the character, VIC
should like to see impressed on oui
statesmen.
1t Is but natural that the country
school trained lawyer should go into
politics, because, during his term as
teacher he has made the acquaint-
ance OF many people in the rural dis
aricts He knows them as no others
do, and he has commanded from
them a deal of respect, If he has
commanded any at all. He has little
law practise. but he has a wide and
deep acquaintance, and when the
farmers come to town on convention
day, they just naturally gravitate to-
ward the ''young fellow who taught
our school," The young fellow" is
the link between the politician and
the farmer, and the link is always
the successful candidate. 1t is that
link the politician ever is seeking.
II is safe to assume that In nine
cases out OF ten, the character form
ed in the rural school room will
cling to the budding statesman, and
the legislators, who have dominated
our congress for years, are of this
school.
We do not begrudge the women
their occupation, but the nation will
sustain a loss, If the young men are
driven from the rural schools.

the regular army was call

maneuvers were related to the chase?
1t has been an exciting chase, this

There Is nothing so priceless as

man to achieve al sorts of success IL
he has not the health to enjoy it.?
Good health is easy to have and
keep. III health is due merely to a
violation of natures laws. Proba-

laws of health, don't know that we
have until we are suffering the pen

PARTY LINE PHONES FEUD;
BLACK EYES IN ABUNDANCE

Algona, Ia. July S. Gossip over
IA party telephone line. alleged per-
sonal remarks made about neighbors
and too persistent listening By PEG
pie on the line have resulted in a
battle. caused serious feud in Kos
.suth county. and doubtless will end
in a long drawn out battle in the
courts.
Numbers of the farmers in that
vicinity are members or a rural mu-
.tual telephone exchange and their
houses are connected on the same
wire. II is alleged that good deal
of gossiping has gone on over this
wire and that some OF the people
gossiped about have overheard re-
marks calculated to arouse their
ire. The trouble became so pronounc-
ed that il was decided TO hold a
meeting OF the subscribers and adopt
rules restricting the condolences to
be impaired over the telephone.
But this meeting. instead Of help
ing matters, had the reverse effect.
FolloSing heated arguments and
acrimonious retorts the gathering
ended in free for all fight. The
meeting was held in the district
school house and the fight which was
started here was continued outside
and a number of blackened eyes and
disfgured countenances resulted.
Lifelong friendships have been
broken, relatives have become es-
tranged. and 1t is said that dozen
lawsuits will result from the feud.

MANY years ago" says Representa-

Erin had the misfortune to be charged
with stealing pork. Being without
counsel the court appointed young
sprig of the law to represent him. 1t
was a poor effort made to defend the
prisoner and the members OF the jury
without leaving their seats returned
verdict of guilty.
''The court asked the prisoner If he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. His reply
was:
"'Your honor, it is hard for man
to go to prison without fair trial.
"'You have had fair trial. said
the judge. The court appointed coun-
sci to defend you.
"The Irishman cast glance at the
young lawyer and muttered; Sure,
an If I'd had two such this jury
would have hung me for murder"
