as. STARS

The Stars and Stripes, which causes
the heart of every true patriot to beat
with pride, is constantly changing.
Like Topsy of old. it "just grew" To-
day, officially is added the forty-sixth
star to the emblem of American free
dom, for the new state of Oklahoma.
This new state has been admitted for
some time, but no star can be added
to the flag except on Independence
day.
The story of the "Star Spangled
Banner is intensely interesting, and
Declaration of Independence estab-
are included ideas which came from
Holland and France, but mainly from
England. The pictures or diagrams
shown above trace the flag from its
inception. 1t has been suggested that
the stripes of our flag, as a symbol of
union, were derived from the national
flag of the Netherlands, adopted as
early as 1852. Early in the colonial
days the Union flag of England was
universally used. This was a COM
binatiOn of the crosses of st. George
and st. Andrew. On January 16, 1907,
the Union flag was shifted to one cor
ner on a white background as indi-
Gated in No. 5.
The idea of 10 as an emblem of the
IS colonies united seems to have been
predominant in all flags of the early
colonial days. We find among others
ID alternating stripes of red and blue,
with snake stretched across, this
having 13 rattles and bearing in his
mouth 10 arrows. Later the flag

An Extreme Case.

Let us assume that some president
of the United States should kill citi-
zen either from private hatred, or, at
any rate, from motives which in the
case of an ordinary person would have
no weight at all with an intelligent
jury. Even then it is difficult to con-
ceive of a conviction. Bail would
still be accepted on grounds of public
policy. All the machinery of delay,
with which we are so familiar in the
case of ordinary murderers, would be
set in motion; and by the time that
the trial actually came off the presf-
dent would either be acquitted, or,
because some of the jury would be of
his political party, there would be a
disagreement.
If the murder were committed in
the District of Columbia, of which the
president is practically an absolute
ruler, it is very doubtful whether any,
thing would be done at all, in the
curious circumstance that even If the
jury of the District of Columbia
should find the president guilty Of
| murder in the first degree, and the
| judge should sentence the president
to be hanged, the president would
have the real right to issue full and
| free pardon to himself.
Here comes in a second and very
interesting phase of the subject. As
Stunning that a president should COM
| NIT murder In the District Of Column
| bia, that he should be convicted, and
that he should pardon himself, and
| that. moreover, every human being
was thoroughly convinced Of his tur-
| pitude, and suppose also that both
houses of congress were controlled by
his political opponents, could he be
| impeached and removed from office?
This is a question which has never
been definitely settled. We need not
| confine the question to one of murder.
Let us imagine president, who, after
his election, developed the most de-
| testable traits. Let US suppose him to
| live in the most fragrant and open i'm
morality, appearing in a state OF
| drunkenness on public occasions, dis
gracing alike himself. his office, and
his country. Even then could he be
| impeached and deposed Pr. w.

Wife Dumb, Has to Listen.

Arriving at the conclusion that his
wife could and did talk enough for
both of them, Isaac Hollar. after a
quarrel with her, fifteen years ago,
vowed never to speak to her again,
so for that length of time he kept
silent.
He was moved to change his mind
a few days ago only after a Distress
ing accident had happened to his
wife While she was in an excited
frame of mind and was engaged in
reminding him of his shortcomings,
her tongue suddenly became par
alyzed, so that in a second she became
speechless.
Mr.. Hollar at first could not be-
lieve it was true: 1t seemed too good.
Then, when he saw that there was no
chance of a comeback he addressed

fall term.
The original building of stone cost
100000, but It was built so as to allow
of wings on each side, and the plans
drawn by the state architect have
provided for a wing on each end to
correspond with the original building,
and all within the appropriation. Now
the people of the state, and especially
the western half, have an educational
institution all can be proud of, and
the continued increase of attendance
of students shows that the young peo-
pie appreciate what the state is doing
for their education.
The main building is of hard stone,
three stories in height. The new APP

Irritation with the barrel, it's all off

women busy to prevent murder. Last
fall three men got the cider habit and
eight farmers made a circle around

Why They Don't Desert.

Instances of desertion from the
army in Mexico are very rare and for
the best of reasons" said Senior Jose
de Minaldez, of Nueva Leon.
1.-THE reason lies in the almost sure
capture of the fugitive and the GER
tainty that he will get, not one, but
numerous foggings on his bare back.
These lashings are done in the pres
ence of the comrades of the deserter,
and when the men see how great is
the suffering of the miserable wretch
who tried in vain to quit his military
obligations, they are forced to con-
clude that it is better to stick to the
army than to undergo such a terrible
ordeal. "-Baltimor American.
