Department Commander Issues Cen
eral Order, Quoting Head Of Or.
ganization-Listo Of Speakers.

Flag day announcements in, the public
schools and to patriotic societies of the
District are now declared to be in order.
AS has been the custom for several years,
the Grand Army of the Republic is tax
ing the initiative in arranging for the
.'Old Glory celebrations.
In general orders No. 8. just issued. De-
partment Commander John 8. Walker of
IN, G. A. r. gives the following extract
from recent order of National Com
mander-in-chief Charles 6. Burton:
by the rules and regulations all men,
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic
are directed to observe June IA as Flag
day. In 1908 June II occurs on Sunday.
While 1 cannot conceive that the display
of the Stars and Stripes. the emblem of
that righteousness which exalteth ma
tion. could in any way be regarded as a
dissertation of the Sabbath, still. out of
difference for the opinions of those who
may possibly think otherwise. l request
that the comrades observe Saturday, the
18TH
With Patriotic Fervor.
Urging that the day be generally cele-
brated in the District OF Columbia with
patriotic fervor, Col. Walker says:
I'm the darkest hour of the American
revolution, when that gallant band of pa
triots were struggling for independence, a
woman's brain. hand and heart gave them
flag, and by their supreme courage and
devotion they gave that flag to the nation.
and now that flag represents the greatest
nation in all this world.
Cannot we, who are enjoying all the
cumulative privileges and blessings that
come to us from the past. join together in
making this Flag day the greatest in all
our history? With that end in view, the
Grand Army of the Republic requests the
cooperation of all citizens of the city of
W ashington, and urgently requests them
to be with us in sentiment, and display
old Glory on that day"
Col. A. s. Perham, patriotic instructor
of the Department of the Potomac, is
preparing list of Flag day speakers. one
of whom will be assigned to every public
school building in the District. The ex-
ercises in the graded schools will be held
at 80 o'clock next Friday afternoon.

SQUARE PIANO vALUELESS.
Abuses to Be Corrected at New York
Convention.

In speaking of the forthcoming conven-
ton of the National Association of Piano
Dealers of America in New York city,
June s, Q and 10, Edward H. Droop who
is second vice president of the associa-
ton, expresses the belief that this will be
not only the best attended but the most
important session yet held by the asso-
citation. Owing to the rapid growth of
the piano business and the changes Incl
dent to such growth, many abuses have
crept into the plano trade which the as
ISOLATION aims to correct.
Among those abuses is the excessive al
lowances for old instruments which the
dealer often feels obliged to make be-
cause of a false idea on the part of the
owner as to real value Of such old in
strument
Some owners of these old instruments
labor under the false impression that the
various parts are of value and can be
used again in making new instruments.
1t is also thought by some that these old
instruments can be rebuilt or made over
to be as valuable as when new.
Both these ideas are wrong. No part
of an old instrument is of any special
value in building a new zone. and in the
great majority Of cases the old organs
and square pianos are not of sufficient
| value to justify the expense of rebuild
| ing them.
Inc QeVeiOpIueIlt VI the pldHO NHS UeeL
rapid. Those instruments. which were
the best of. their type twenty. thirty and
forty years age are today. except In rare
cases. erlitfles musical value. To be sure.
certain grand pianos and high-class up
rights Fan be rebuilt and made of value
again. but the old square piano. except
ing those OF the best makers and of the
later models, are not only without must
| cal value. but they are a source of ex-
pense and annoyance to the dealer.
Dealers In New; York and vicinity
whose storerooms are crowdede with these
worthless instruments will load them on
large boat chartered for the purpose.
and they will be taken far out in the
| ocean and sunk. BY this method the
dealers will make certain that these old
instruments will never again be offered
| in exchange.
The National Association Of Piano
| Dealers stands pledged to the one-price
system. Nothing interferes more with the
strict maint enance Of this system than
| the custom now prevailing of taking old
| instruments in exchange in part payment
| toward new. The dealer who adheres to
| one price can. Of course. allow no more
| for an old instrument than its real worth.

YOUTH SEEKS LOST MOTHER
TELLS TALE OF WOE WHICH
POLICE D1sCREDIT.
Held as Fugitive From Parents Until
Truth Is Learned From
/: Indianapolis. &

Primitive and penniess, and reciting a
tale of woe regarding a long search for
his three-months-lost mother. which car
ried him as far west as Montana, not
withstanding his expressed belief she
was in Washington, and involving the ex-
penditure of 500. all his fortune, an In
dianapolis youth. Earl English, nineteen
years old, appealed to the police at head
quarters this morning.
The police were incredulous despite the
tears in his eyes and the hating manner
of his narrative. A message was sent
to the Indianapolis police depar tment re-
questing that the mother of the young
man be found and told Of his where
abouts, the police doubling the story that
she came here. Until something ds
learned from Indianapolis Earl will be
held prisoner, charged with being a
fugitive from his parents.
Breaks Down and Cries.
In telling his story to Detective Baur
he broke down and cried. The young
man carried in his hand photographs
which he said were portraits of his
mother and another woman. The two
women had left Indianapolis, Ind. three
months ago, according to his story. Be
fore leaving home. he said. his mother
told friends she was coming to this city.
And" he said. II left home and started
to find her. I left Indianapolis a few
days after mother left, but have not yet
found her.
The young man told of spending 500
in the search, and was penniless this
morning when he called on the police to
enlist their aid. During his three months
on the road. he said. he had been as far
west as Montana, but was unable to ex-
plain why he had gone there when he
felt certain his mother had come here.
He reached this city two weeks ago. he
his funds were gone. His mother is Mrs.
Annie English. he stated. and her home
is at Ss4S Bellefonte avenue, Indianapolis
In addition to the photographs of his
mother and her friend and companion
Earl had two photographs of young
lady. They are of his sweetheart, he
told the detective. showing letters he had
received from her.
Had His Fortune Told.
Papers taken from him indicated that
he had been seeking the assistance of
clairvoyants, and one card containing his
fortune bore the photo of young woman.
He had taken pains to save one paper
which contained the result of an effort
to ASCERTAIN some information about his
future. the card containing the following

THE OLD COUNTRY STORE.

| have shopped in London, Paris,
Berlin, Edinburgh, and Cork,
Honolulu and Havana.
Boston, Denver, and New York,
But delight has never thrilled me
AS 1t did in days of yore,
When | bought a stick Of candy
At the little country store.
What a wealth of things to covet
Spread before my youthful eyes,
Painted toys. and cheese, and crackers
Calicoes of gaudy dyes
Everything, from pins to plasters,
Needed on this earthly shore,
Was dispensed across the counter
or the quaint old country store.
There 1t was the village fathers
Gathered to discuss the crops,
And the children's boarded pennies
Went for gum and licorice drops.
Memory brings the gray-haired owner
Clearly to my gaze once more,
Tying up the tea and sugar
In the dim old country store.
There u mothers used to weigh us
On the %antiquated scales,
And the village waited weekly
The arrival of the mails.
On the wall for all to read it
Hung the slate that held the score
But the poor were ever harried
By the good old country store.
Drug and food authorizations
Then were tricks as yet undreamed
And the butter and molasses
We're exactly what they seemed.
Oh! the world would be the better,
And more solid at the core,
If its business was conducted
Like the dear OLD country store.

PRIVILEGES ALLOWED
IN SECOND ENTRIES.

The United States land office at
Cheyenne and at other places in the
west have Just received instructions
from washington, under date of Fen
ruary 90, governing the privileges OF
persons to make second homestead en-
tries under certain stipulated cond!.
tons. This privilege VI making sec
ond homestead entries is due to an act
of congress passed at the present ses-
sion.
Any person who has made a home
stead entry but has subsequently lost.
forfeited or abandoned this entry, Is
now permitted to make a second home
stead entry, provided that the right to
the first entry has not been Cancelled
for fraud, or mas not been relinquish'
ed for a valuable consideration.
Persons making a second homestead
entry must report their first entry,
confirming all details concerning its
transfer or loss.
The present act of congress is the
most sweeping of any governing sec
ond homestead entries. Prior to the
passage of the last act, such entries
were only permitted in certain sec
lions and under strict rules. Now Sec
ond homestead entries are permitted
practically without restraint, other
than that attached to any original en-
try,

ACROSS II LAND.

Baltimore Sun.
Across the land at morn she went
whom we had watched and kept,
So like a lily when she woke, a rose
leaf when she slept;
Across the land when night had flowr
and all the skies We're still,
She passed into the light that lay upon
the Weakening hill!
Across the land at morn she went
whom we had failed to keep.
So like a glory when awake, a shadow
when asleep;
No breath of moaning or distress, but
soft as step of dawn
The rustic of the wings of white her
spirit had put on!
Across the land at morn she went, nor
had we any thought
OF such a change, of such a strange,
sad difference it wrougst;
For dumb we look across the land
whose glory was our light
AS if the day had changed to gray and
noon were as the night!
Across the land at morn she went, and
morn is morn no more;
The dawn, the dew, the bird, the bloom,
not as they were before;
Across the land at NOR she went, and
with her went the CLEAN
That filled ourhome, that filled our hearts
with joy and song and dream!
