OUR BIG COUNTRY.
4 Season When the Sun Never Sets
on the Stars and Stripes.

on the stars and stripes.
There is only one flag that the sun
never sets on-the British. But the
American flag is a close second for
the sun during half the year never sets
on it either That is to say, these two
are the only flags that the sun is con-
tinuously shining over, no matter what
his position in the heayens-the one all
the year round and the other during
exactly half the year, from March % to
Sept. %.
Of course it is true that on no day at
all during the year can the sun be seen
from any two points OF continental
United States at all times during a
period of twenty four hours. But the
United States naval observatory has
made careful calculations which by in
Guiding Alaska, Porto Rico and the
Philippines show that between %the
spring and fall equinoxes the sun nev-
er ceases to shine in the eyes OF the
American eagle.
Perhaps nothing could make us real
ize how great nation our expanded
country is better than this simple as
Economical fact. Moreover, within
these two dates there are also several
other pairs of eastern and western ex-
IRENE points where the same condi-
ton obtains, though for much shorter
times.
1t is not generally known, but the
easternmost point in the United States
and its island possessions is in the is.
land of Porto Rico-longitude Go de
grees II minutes west, latitude IS de-
grees 20 minutes north. The western
most point is in Balobe island, In the
ippines-longitude 116 degrees 40
minutes east, latitude 8 degrees G

what the calendar makers call north

that is to say, on March 20 and on
Sept. 22-it rises in Porto Rico at ex-
acty the same time that it sets in the
island of Balobe. Between these two
dates during the winter months the
sun does set on the United States, and
during the remainder of the year, the
summer months, it does not.-Scrap

"Ab made the same declaration, and
we was all shore one of 'em would be
killed before the thing come to an end.
Didn't seem like 1t could wind up any
other way.
But it transpired that we was all
entirely mistaken, as you can see for
yourself.
zone day, bout three months after
the last shootin' scrape and jest when
we was eXpectin' Joe to make another
appearance, a covered wagon drove
into town and stopped in front Of the
mayors Office The wagon was from
the Triple x, AMI we couldn't under
stand it's bein' covered that way, so
we all gathered round to see what it
meant.
"In the bottom of the wagon was
some straw, and lynn stretched out on
the straw was Joe Kern. We see at a
glance that Joe was mighty sick, for
he jest lay there and moaned and
didn't take no notice Of nobody nor
nothin'.
while we was standin' there gapin'
like a passul of idiots Alb come up and
pushed his way through the crowd to
the wagon We lowed shore as soon
as All got his ewes on Joe he'd plug
him, but right there we was mistaken
some more.
"Ab looks at Joe minute, then
turns to the driver and says:
"'What's the matter of the cussY
"'Smallpox.' the driver replies
'1n about half a minute that iden-
tical part of town became rather
scarce of population. All of us except
Alb, Joe and the driver happened to
simultaneously remember that we had
more pressin' business other places
and we hurried off to tend to it.
ut seemed, as we learned afterward,
that Joe had been exposed to the small
pox somewhere and that the first thing
they knowed he took down with it, The
ranch want no fit place for sick man
to stay, so they loaded him up and sent
him into town. expectin' the mayor to
take him in hand and do somethin' with

him. But it happened that the mayor
was away from home and wouldn't be
back for a week.
"Ab studied little while. Then he
said to the driver:
Take him down to my house. I'll
keep him and do the best | can for
him. That seems to be all there is for
IT.
$50 the driver went on down to Abs
house, and be and Alb took Joe from
the wagon and carried him in and put
him in Abs bed. Alb turned nuss and
stayed right there with Joe, sleepin' on
q blanket on the floor.
'Of course we was all surprised at
Alb dom that way, SEEM that he and
Joe were such bitter enemies, and we
talked about it and wondered at it.
Joe couldn't understand it, either. so
one day when he was gittin' better he
says to Alb:
There's one thing want to know,
Mr.. Case. I've puzzled about it a good
bit lynn here, and l can't seem to git
the hang Of it. / would like to know
why you took me in and nussed me
this wayr
I hope Alb replied, that you amt
got no notion that done it for lover
Hardly Joe answered. But that
is what makes 1t harder to understand
Then I'll explain Alb said. First,
wouldn't be brute enough to let a
sick dog suffer for attention If could
help 1t, and, second, didn't want you
to die natural death and cheat me out
Of the pleasure Of shootin' you..'
