1t ran FOR nearly an entire season:
and now in its original form; both
as to scenery and players, is on
tour under the capable and liberal
management of the famous firm of

itsTearness to everyday life and
no impossible situations. In brief,
it tells the story Of three girls out

then take solemn oath, to have
nothing to do with Il man, with
hatpins crossed. The characters
besides the ones named above
embrace Il giddy, gushing clocu-

Guarding q Nail.

A gentleman in Jerusalem tod ME
that he found Turkish soldier on
guard in some part Of the Church OF
the Holy Sepulcher, where IL was not
usual for sentry to be, ana inquired
Of him why he was there.
He pointed to a nail in the wall aud
replied. 1T is my duty to watch that
nail"
Asked why, he explained that the
Latins or the Greeks-I forget which
had driven the nail with the view OF
hanging a picture: that Il rival sect
had furiously objected. saying that it
was an interference with their prop
erty and wanted TO pull out the nail;
that thereupon the Turkish govern.
ment had interviewed and set him to
watch the nail and see that no picture
was hung upon it and that it was not
pulled out.
To allow the picture to be hung
would have been to admit the claims
of those who drove in the nail. To al
low it to be pulled out would have
been to admit the claims Of those who
objected to the driving in Of the nail.
Therefore the nail must be preserved
and the picture must not be hung, and
to see that this was so an armed SEN
try must watch day and night. For

ORIGIN Of Old Glory.

In the "reminiscences of Lord Ronald
Cover Is found a story of the origin OF
the stars and stripes.
The "star spangled banner Of the
American republic had its origin from
an old brass OH the floor of an ancient
rhurch in NOrthamptOnshire. The brass
covers the tomb Of one Robert Wash
ington and is dated 1922. On It ap.
pears the Washington coat of arms,
consisting Of three stars, with bars or
stripes beneath them. On the first day
Of the new year, 1916, the thirteen
united colonies raised standard ut
WashingtOn'S headquarters.
This introduced the stripes Of the
present. but retained the crosses Of st.
George and ST Andrew en- blIe
ground In the corner. In III the
crosses were replaced by stars. as tie
Declaration Of Independence rendered
the retention of the English element
unnecessary and inconvcnicTt. In thus
adopting the arms OF his ancestors as
his own distinctive badge Washington
no doubt intended the flag merely oi
private signal for his own personal fl
lowing. but it was at once adopted rs
n national emblem. Probably there is
not another case in the worlds history
in which the private arms Of an CD
scure family have attained such world.
