Under the British Flag.

During the greater part of the
war;" said a retired skipper, there
were a large number of American clip
pers stalled in Hong Kong harbor. hav
ing orders to remain there from their
owners, who feared the Alabama.
Among them was the Humming Bird,
under Capt Hobbs. Hobbs kicked more
at the arrangement than any one else,
and never wearied of protesting against
it, The only way an American vessel
could get out was by sailing under
some foreign flag and this course ex-
cited Hobbs indignation even more
than remaining in idleness. Judge of
his wrath then when he finally was
ordered to set sail the next day under
the British colors. He went ashore
and procured a British flag, the small
est which could be bought, and this, on
sailing day, was hoisted and near it
was fastened a large and mysterious
bundle of bunting. The harbor master
sailed up and objected angrily that
the British flag was not made properly

THE harbor master had nothing t.
say to this and started back: but ht
had no sooner done so than the mair
halliards were pulled, the bundle at thu
peak broke out and in second thu

ter, the Yankee shippers and Capt. Sem

Old Glory in this particular case thai
it almost brushed the Alabama's decks
the vessels being so close together. The
huge flag had been presented to the
ship at her launching and to the eXclt
ed spectators on this occasion seemed
larger than the ship herself.
THE harbor master put about, an
grier than before, and demanded eN'
plantations.
"'What does that flag mean, sir?
said he.
That's my house flag, you,'
said Hobbs, the trade mark of my own
ers. | do not know whether that REQ
rag I'D there is humpbacked or club
footed or not; but you can't give me
any points on the construction OF that
article up there with the stripes on IT.

Changed the Style.

In recording the daily life or MS

ing the early days Of the Civil war; D

amusing incidents which relieved Ihe
monotony Of camp life.

Looking more to his own comfort anC

Confederate States government to fur

About midnight Bob Murray's acute

Disking Alfalfa.

The work Of disking alfalfa requires
little bit Of skill. The disk must be
set just so it will cut the ground suf-
ficiently and do as little damage as
possible. A little experience will en-
able any intelligent man to do the very
best work in the field. There are times
and conditions when the spring tooth
harrow may do all right, but gener-
ally nothing but good sharp disk with
enough big horses in front and a COM
petent man on the seat can do the
work. l use only the smoothing har-
row in the early spring, but after each
moving | use a disk or spring tooth,
whichever | think best, always finish
ing with a spike tooth, so as to leave
the field in the very best possible con-
dition for the growing crop. 1t is a
real pleasure to see the alfalfa start
out anew and grow about one inch a
day on an average.-Denver Field and
Farm.

religion; the supreme witness Of the
Immortality Of the SOUL But there it
stands unconnected, distinct, apart
from our own personal life We have
never made it the keystone Of our own
personal faith in Jesus Christ we
have never wove it into the very fibre
OF our life as child of God. 1t is for
US historical event; an article Of the
Christian faith an argument for the
life beyond the grave.
And some may ask. What more can
be desiredT' 1t would seem as if one
had reached the circumference and had
grasped the full value of the message
of Easter when such q confession had
been made. There is something more,
however, for on Easter Sunday we are
not simply commemorative an event :
we are sharing in an experience; we
are not simply adding an article to our
creed, we are partaking of the power
Of new life; We are not simply finding
an argument for Immortality, we are
entering into the joy of the life eter-
nal.
The deep significance Of this Easter
day does not lie in its pointing us back
to a certain time and a certain place
and reminding us that at that time and
in that place Christ rose from the
dead. The true meaning of Easter is
that to-day and now Christ is gaining
the victory for us and the message of
the angel is bringing JOY and new life
to the hearts that are dead in trespass-
es and sin. Wherever human soul
goes to seek crucifed Jesus and finds
instead a risen Savior, the event of
day is repeated and the joy Of the an
gelic message Is shared once again.
The real power Of the resurrection lies
in the spiritual experience, not in the
historical fact

SERMONETTES.

No hatred is so cruel as that which
is based on conscience.
Unfitness for death does not estab-
lish fitness for heaven.
One does not acquire a forgiving
spirit by practicing on himself.
Sin has many machines, but selfish
ness is the motor for them all.
Worshiping the milestones does not
hasten progress along the way.
A mans hooking at money has little
meaning if he has no means.
The highest exhibition Of religion
may come in the lowliest deeds.
OF ali the devils DISCUSSES the worst
is that which lust steals from love.
Excessive emphasis on a few Ideas
is evidence of the absence of many.
Only the weakling fears either to
fight his thoughts or to follow them.
The honesty of our cries for justice
is seen in our attitude to he helpless.
The church is sure to be only fool
ishness to those who go there as fans.
Much of our reasoning is a blotting
out Of the stars by shutting our eyes
Only as man lives a life of his
own can he have life to give to others.
Never is truth more eloquent than
when it is sure it can afford to be
silent
nQt1QnPp
a man has until he has power over
others.
No wheels are turned in this world
by the man who is proud of those in
his head.
No matter what his titles he is a
slave who lets his belly run away with
his head.
A mans riches on earth are in in
verse ratio to his retrenchments toward
humanity.
You cannot tell much about the size
of a mans living from the size OF his
income.
The breadth of a life depends on
how much Of the world 1t takes into
its heart.
It's no use inviting folks to the
heavenly way when you walk as if it
were all thOrns.
To pray to be delivered from out
trials would be to seek escape from our
triumpi's.
Many a man who complains that con-
science is silent hires a megaphone for
his appetites.
Too many think they have fed the
hungry when they have told them how
to make an omelette.
No amount Of praying for your chill
dren will do any good If you are too
busy to play with them.
Our impressions Of our own knowl-
edge are apt to be in inverse proportion
to our actual possessions.
Many man counts his life sue
cess when it's freedom from failure Is
due to absence of endeavor.
If your head aches from the creeds
there is always a cure in physical
WEAKNESS from good deeds.
There are many who cannot bear to
see a mouse killed who are experts at
stabbing one another in the back.
