ALASkA'S. FIRST FLAG.

n EPOSING in a safety deposit
TX vault in the city of Seattle is a
flag with a history-associated
with an event which marked the begin
ming of the new Alaska, the beginning
of a new era of expansion of the field
for American effort and enterprise.
This flag is an old edition of the Stars
and Stripes, and it's claim to eminence
rests on the fact tina it was the first
copy of Old Glory raised officially in
Alaska under American ownership,
The flag reveals it's age in the fact
that in its deep BLU field there rest but
thirty-seven stars. 1t is about 8 by Is
feet in size, and, aside from the tell
tale number of stars, does not look its
age, 1t is not seriously tattered nor
torn and not exceptionally weather.
beaten. 1t carries very few holes. 1t
is not a battle flag, through which have
sped bullets aimed at the defenders OF
Its country. So far as known, 1t has
never been carried at the head of>a
column on the field where hosts We're
contending for and against the per-
petuity of the Union or the defense or
the nation. Nevertheless, it Is consid-
cred that this flags renown is justly
earned and it's fame secure, from It's
intimate connection with so large an
event In the commercial and political
progress of the United States. 1t is
, associated with a signal victory of
peace-the negotiation of what is con-
coded the best bargain ever made by
the government Of the United States,
at q time when the vender thought he
was making a pretty fair bargain him
self.
This flag was raised at Fort Wrang-
ell, Alaska. The raising took place in
the summer of 1857. On the arrival of
the first company of American soldiers
sent there to receive Alaska from Rus
sia. The flag ioated over the barracks
of the troops until the following spring,
when the news of the admission of
Nebraska to the Union showed Alaska
residents it's historical ~inaccuracy In
the number of stars. 1t was then taken
down, and another. with the thirty
eight stars, in the blue field, raised in
its place.

BAYONNE, July 30.-The Rev.
George w. Whitehead, pastor of the
Bergen Point Methodist Episcopal

bers last night by insistent couples in
touring cars who wanted to be married.
Just after the pastor had retired, he
was awakened by a knocking at thu
door. He let in William H. Jackson.

what they're made of. Marathan races
continue in popularity, and almost any
time you can see squads OF AMBITIOUS
little heroes pegging around the paths
of the parks. CARRIED in the regulation
trunks or in wonderful homemade sub
stltutes, each sure in his heart that he
is the champion of tomorrow.
Next in popularity come the iron
bars. the ladder one can cross with
ones hands. after a little practise; the
trapeze and the vaulting poles. In each
playground there are trained athletes to
teach the boys all sorts of interesting
feats.
The fondness of the girls leans great
ly toward the fine. long swings and a
queer arrangement they call THE Fly
ing Dutchman," Nobody seems to
know it's real name. 1t is built like a
May-pole. A number of girls will seize
one of the ropes. run around the pole
at a terrific speed and swing themselves
in the air. Rather jerky at the arm
pits, but who minds a little thing like
that?
For the very %littlest tots there are
little chair swings, safe asd SANE and
altogether delightful.
In the school Fairgrounds all sorts
of interesting things are taught. The
boys work in clay and iron inc the

chance in the world to develop their
housewifely instincts. The tiniest folks,
boys and girls, never tire of the fas-
cinating process of cutting birds n
other things out of b~right-hued paper.
When they tire of his they can dig in
the sand heaps, which are we'll pro-
vided with pals and other accessories.
From very early in the morning. long
before the instructors arrive, until late
at night. you can hear the shouts and
the laughs and the s%quabbles of the
youngsters who have come to know
something of the fun of the country
boy, instead of just the hot life of the
pavement.
