Jack had paid his way always. Out
of the poverty of his childhood he had
fought his way through the university
After graduation he felt he must see
Europe, and with the little accumula-
ton he had he CROSSED the pond"
trusting to good luck to get home
again But. his trip of sightseeing
over. he found himself in Liverpool
without money and with no means of
getting any.
He thought he would just go down
to the steamship, go on board and see
how it would seemff only he were 60
ing home.
AS he wandered over the big liner
his attention was attracted by a cry
ing baby. The mother was travelling
alone, and while she was attempting
to see to all the thousand and one de-
tails incident to the beginning of an
ocean trip the baby had resented the
neglect he felt he had received and
was crying The mother was at her
wits end.
Jacks kind heart prompted him to
say: Let me take the baby, madam.
Perhaps can keep him quiet until
your preparations are made"
This request, so unusual from a
stranger and especially from a man
stranger naturally filed her with sur
prise, but she looked Jack squarely in
the eye for a second and trusted him.
II wish you would" she said.
Jacks care was extremely satisfac-
tory to his babyship, and when, in a
half hour, the mother was ready to
reclaim her child she found a happy
baby cooling and trying to devOur a
bunch of keys at one gulp.
She laughed as she took the young
ster and thanked Jack. Then she add
ed, quite in fun, II wish you were go
ing clear across"
Jack saw his opportunity. He said
Madam, I'm college student, out of
funds and longing for home. If you
will pay my passage to America l will
take care Of your baby all the way
across
His proposition was accepted, and he
kept his word. He is a prominent law

siderable amusement to his experience
in getting home from Europe.-Youth' rs

Flag Day.

June IA, 1908, was the one hundred
and thirty-first anniversary of Our
Flag, the most glorious emblem of
human liberty and equality of man
kind the world has ever seen. In
all these years it has foated over
our country, symbol Of freedom
and protection, and has led on to
victory the soldiers of the Revolu-
tionary war; the War of 1872; the
Mexican War; the great Civil War;
and last of all those of the Spanish
American War.
Nov. 8, 1867, it was planted onthe
shores of Alaska, and in 1898 on the
following islands; the Philippines,
Cuba and Porto Rico, and officially
raised on the Hawaiian Island.
This Starry Emblem" is always fol-
lowed by the Banner of our Savior,
which brings peace aud salvation to
all who seek shelter beneath its
folds.

of June when the session Of congress
was delayed, the great shady garden
of the home was deserted.
There is an apparent ignorance in
Washington outside, of course, of the
immediate friends of the occupants Of
the Louise home, as to who these &C.
cupants are. One never hears nor
reads of individuals until the day Of
death comes, and then the world
learns that some old southern woman
of distinguished name and family, who
in her time bore active part in the
social world, while her husband or ia
Their bore an active part in the po-
litical world, has passed away. / heard
when first came to Washington that
a daughter of a former president was
living in the Louise home. l asked
some people who had lived in Wash
ington all their lives and most of the
time not a stones throw from the
home, If this were true. The answer
was that John Tyler's daughter for
merly had lived In the home, but that
she had been dead six years. This
presidents daughter was buried the
other day.
