Flag Day.

Tomorrow is Flag Day, the 130th
anniversary of the legal adoption Of
the national ensign-the Red, White
and Blue. Hang your banners on
the outer wall" There is no prettier
flag in the world, none more signifi-
cant, none that stands for more, or
that claims more of reverence and
devotion. All civilized nations have
their national flag, but few of them
have a significant design. What of
historic significance is there in the
Chinese flag, upon which is einblaz-
oned a flaming dragon trying to
swallow a red-hot sun? The Turk
ish flag is a crescent moon and
star.
When Mohammedism was on the
aggressive that flag meant much,
but the crescent" is on the wane
and the star" has set. What does
the flag of Great Britain express

fighting for a CROWN" 1t certainly
has no historic or pre- ent signif-
icance. But it is the standard of q
mighty nation. 1t is venerated
because it is old, inspiring the
stirring memories of a thousand
years." But the American flag
means something, means much.

Weather Summary.

The abnormally cool weather that
has been so pronounced feature
over the State during the past two
monthshas continued all through the
past week, though the deficiency in
temperature has been less marked
than during most of the preceding
weeks, and the lateness of the sea-
son makes this deficiency less
noticeable. Several of the days
during the week were fairly warm
but the nights are still too cool
The temperature went below the
freezing point at several places in
the northern part of the State on
the morning of the 9Th, and frost
occurred the same morning on the
morning on the low lands in the
middle section. The mean temper
ature for the week averaged from
two to nine degrees below the
normal.

S0thern's Dilemma.

A dramatic critic Of authority says
that one of the most noted achieve
ments of any actor was the "Lord
Dundreary" of E. Sothern. The
manager was very anxious for the
triumph of the new play, "Our
American Cousin" and gained the
reluctant consent ofMr. Sothern to
accept the unimportant part of a
stage fop, by giving full leave to
enlarge his text with new matter of
his own Interpretation. Out of this
permission a unique historic pro-
duct was evolved: an Englishman
whose whole dress, speech and man.
ner displayed the courage of mon
strous eccentricity. 1t is said that
no one who looked at the noble lord
could eyer forget the glare of his
monocle and the rigid play of the
muscles that held the glass in place.
Sothern introduced extravagant bus
mess with the character, skipping
about the stage storming, sneezing,
and, in short, doing all he could to
attract the attention of the audience.
Before many nights Sothern was
the leading actor in the play and his
role of Lord Dundreary proved the
stepping stone to the fame which
afterward resounded all over the
English. speaking world.
