Everett Sentenced
To Serve One Year.

Last Monday Everett, who was con-
victed a short time ago Of telonious
assault, was sentenced by the
superior court of Calayeras county,
to serve one year in tho state
prison. The case will probably be
taken to the higher courts, though it
was thought that the shortness OF the
period to be served would have the
effect OF forestalling such action.
The defendant prior to the time it
was claimed the crime was com
mitted, was very prominent mining
man in Calaveras county, so that the
case has created not little stir.

A district appellate court has held
that the change from a fee to salary
basis as regards justices of the peace
and constables, effected by a bill con.
corning Mendocino county, did not
apply to present incumhents, on the
ground that it was an increase of
compensation, and therefore uncon-
stitutional as applicable to them.
From this it would seem that the
court made it part of its business
to inquire into the proposition
whether or not the change in the law
was IN reality an increase of com
pensation, and having found in the
affirmative, barred the present officials
from reaping any benefit from the
law. OF course it will apply to their
successors.

Clever Thoueht.

When certain country storekeeper, who was also the postmaster of the borough, began the transaction of busi- ness one morning about year ago he found that the safe in which were kept the postage stamps had been robbed during the night and promptly reported the matter to the proper authorities. The latter decided, after an investiga- ton, that restitution should be made for the stolen stamps. but that the ex- pense of repairing the damage to the safe would have to be borne by the storekeeper, which was accordingly done
 Some time later q second robbery was committed and reported, as before, as the result of which there was an- other investigation, which disclosed the Tact that the stamps had been ab- stracted on this occasion without any violence to the safe.
 But how was 1t done?" asked the inspector, somewhat puzzled. "The safe does not seem to be injured at all."
 q made up my mind I would not be caught again." replied the postmaster slyly. q left 1t open"

Ghoy'd mak her own oOp to ltI Och, poor Miss Beth! All she wants is for him to mak' her own Oop-an' It's cry In her purity eyes out she is this min ute, I'll be wagerln'p
 The aggrleved one slid to the ground and stared for moment in open eyed amazement at the expanse of green glngham dung In an abandon of mis- cry over Norahs bowed head. Then she turned scurried around to the front and tiptoed softly up the stairs.
 It was indeed as Norah had predict ed. Aunt Beth was crying her eyes out. A big brown eye applied to the keyhole corroborated the small ears testimony. Aunt Beth must certainly be very, very sorry indeed If her pres ent apparent misery were any indlca- tion of the depth of her penitence.
 Having fully satisfied herself upon this point, the aggrieved one, again on tlptoe, retraced her way to the lower hall, listened at the farther end until the rattle of pans and kettles proclaim ed the resumption of Norah's inter- rupted duties, then sped swiftly down the path to the barn and through passageway into the alley, Nor did she stop until she had trayersed a dis tance of some blocks.
 The door of the ornate garage which was her destination stood open. Uncle Larry and the chauffeur were doing something to the big machine.
 "She didn't mean 1t, Uncle Larry! She truly didn't mean ftp
 Uncle Larry brought gloomy gaze to bear upon the small panting figure which confronted him.
 Presently the gloom gave partial way to a look of bewIlderment, and this fin turn to the dawn of a half compre- hension, which kaleidoscopic point be- ing reached he stopped, caught the aggrleved one in his arms and set her in the tonneau of the machine.
 "Now tell me all about it." he said. "Who doesn't mean what, and what authority have you for supposing she doesn't mean it?"
 Aunt Beth, Norah said she didn't mean it."
 The big wrench in the hands of the chauffeur suddenly ceased manipula- tions, an intricate part of the machin- cry seeming at the moment to demand close and silent scrutiny.
 "Norah said girls were all like that; they'd be dying to make up, she said, and wouldn't. An she sald the men ought to make 'em an if they had any sense they would She said she knew Aunt Beth would be crying her eyes out, an she was, Uncle Larry, for I slipped upstairs an she was on the bed with her handkerchief up to her eyes, an she was crying like anything, An Norah cried so hard herself you'd most think she was the one that had quar. relcd with you an wanted to make up an wouldn't. An please, Uncle Larry, won't you make Aunt Beth let you keep on being my uncle? An she'll go to the picnic, too, if you'll make her. NOrah says that's all she wants-iust to have you make her"
 Master and man exchanged dart ing glance, sudden illumination on the face of each.
 "Tn drive the big car myself this afternoon, Nolan," said Uncle Larry. And if you care to come over to the picnic later in the afternoon and stay for tue dance in the evening you may take the runabout."

0NE MORE STAR FOR THE GRAND Old FLAG
A Fourth of July Sketch by

gravely sewed in place on the blue
field.
1t is interesting to know that the
alag house" was recently purchased
by the American Flag Home and Betsy
Ross Memorial association and pre-
sented to the city Of Philadelphia to
be forever preserved as a shrine Of
American patriotism-the birthplace OF
the most beautiful national banner that
floats in the air, the flag that repre-
sents the greatest measure of human
liberty ever enjoyed by any people un-
der the stars Of heaven.
This old house has had curious his
tory. The charming Widow Ross con-
Quoted a fagmaking establishment
therein for number CT years, and her
descendants continued the business un-
til the year 1857. Then the house
passed into the hands of an old sea
captain, who never came around to COL
lect the rent from the Mund family,
who occupied it. Perhaps the old salt
persisted at sea. Anyhow, he disap-
peared altogether. The Munds lived
there more than forty years. They
paid taxes Oh the house instead of
rent. Finally. under the law, posses
sion became ownership, and the NJ
mortal association bought the famous

he was a prisoner of war at the time
has been published far and wide. Both
these impressions are erroneous. The
wording Of the poem itself proves that
the latter part of it was written at
least some months after the event
which evoked the glorious national
lyric. Furthermore, the third stanza
contains conclusive internal evidence
that good lawyer, such as Mr.. Key
Is reputed to have been, did not write
that part Of the poem, at any rate,
while he was in the enemy's custody.
During the conflict known in our his
tory as the war of 1912, the year in
which it began, the British assembled
the Potomac, occupied the city Of
Washington, burned the national CAPT.
tol, destroyed most wantonly many of
our priceless documents and public
treasures and then retreated down to
salt water. That was in the summer
of 1914. On their way back to their
ships the enemy captured and carried
away DR.. William Beans, a prominent
citizen of the town Of Marlboro, Md.
DR.. Beans was held prisoner on
board one of the English vessels in
Chesapeake bay.
Near the end of August citizen of
Upper Marlboro, William West, called
at the office of Lawyer Key and en-
gagged the attorney to use his efforts
for the release of DR.. Beans. Key was
young man of, thirty-fve, with a lu-
crative practice and some little local
reputation as a writer Of verses. It
was proposed that Key obtain the sane
ton Of the American government to go
out aboard the flagship of the British
commander under flag Of truce and
intercede for the imprisoned doctor
The lawyer obtained the necessary au-
thority and started on his mission. He
got aboard the ship at a critical time.
The British were preparing to bonn
bard Fort McHenry. Key succeeded
in securing the release Of DR.. Beans,
but both he and the doctor were held
aboard one of the vessels until the
Ombardment was over lest they re-
veal the British plans.
Key watched the bombardment FROM
this highly interesting vantage point
And the rockets red glare. the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that the
flag was still there.
Then the poet-lawyer returned to the
home which nearly century later
patriotic Americans propose to rescue
from the low estate into which it has
fallen with the advance of the Capital
City. The little law Office annex has
been used as an Italian fruit and pea
nut vender's stand, while the end walls
of the residence itself have been pro-
famed with large, lurid and ludicrous
letters advertising cheap groceries and

to be one of the best games of the

it will attract a big crowd of fans.

II YNDER the provisions Of an old
!. act Of congress Oklahoma's star,
~ the forty-sixth, will be added to
, the American flag this Fourth
of July, but on New Years day some
school children in Philadelphia antici-
pated the official addition of the new
star IN very pretty ceremony, as
shown by the accompanying illustra-
tion. Though Oklahoma was admitted
to statehood by the presidents procla-
nation of Nov. Is, 1907, under law
passed in 1918 the new star could not
be added until the Fourth of July fol-
lowing. This law has applied to all
states added since the year mentioned.

"star spangled banner was made un-
der direction of General Washington
and committee of congress stands at
239 Arch street, Philadelphia. It was
there that the little girls and boys cele-
brated the advent of 1908 by hosting
flag containing forty-six stars. Thir-
teen girls clad in colonial costumes of
white represented the original states,
while boy dressed up as Uncle Sam
and another uniformed like a colonel
of the Continental army assisted in
the ceremony.

stands close to the Potomac river in

Francis Scott Key lived many years

probable that within it's walls or in
the little annex. adjoining, which he
occupied as law Office, he wrote a
part Of his famous song. For many
years the popular superstition has been
that the poem was written while Key
was aboard a British vessel of war in
Chesapeake bay. The statement that
