FLAG ETIQUETTE.
Displaying the National Ensign at Half
Mast.

MAST.
There have been many mistakes
made about the etiquette of the dag
When President William Mckinley
was assassinated thousands OF loyal
Americans raised aags at half mast
over their places OF business and let
them fly by night and by day until
they wore out They undoubtedly
thought they we're showing respect to
McKinleys memory. But they were
not showing proper respect to the flag.
The United States government display
ed at that time its flags at half mast
from sunrise TO sunset from the presi-
dents death until his burinl The gov
eminent regulations provide that on
the death of president in Office its
flag shall be displayed half mast
only one day.
In memory of the $4,000 Union sol
diers who lost their lives during the
civil war May 80. Memorial day. each
year the United States displays its flag
at half mast at all army posts. stations
and national cemeteries from sunrise
to midday. Immediately before noon
a dirge is played by the band or field
music. and the national salute Of TWEEN
ty-one guns is fired At the conclu-
sion of this memorial tribute at noon
the dag is hoisted to the top OF the
staff and remains there until sunset
The idea is that the national ensign is
too sacred an object to be long in
mourning for any man or number of
men, no matter how exalted their rank.
The flag reversed. with the union
down. indicates distress. The flag on
anything but a fort actually besieged
should never be displayed between
sunset and sunrise
When the flag is to be displayed at
half mast It IS lowered to that posi-
ton from the top of the stan. It is
hoisted to the top before II is finally
lowered. Washington Post.

After Samose has been used week

The Naughty Planters Were Fiero
Foes Of Royal Tyranny.
In no part OF the world were social
distinctions more rigidly defined than
IN colonial Virginia. The founders OF
that colony stepped from the brilliant
court OF Elizabeth into the forests OF
Virginia. The iordproprietor trans
ported 10 bis estnte little army OF
gentlemen and indentured servants,
and afterward came the negro slave.
Each formed a class apart from the
others. and almost at once there was
created a quasi system Of arIstocracy.
The proprietor obligated himself 70
protect his tenants from the Indians.
They in turn agreed to follow him TO
battle, precisely the system inaugurat-
ed by William the Conqueror for the
military defense OF bis realm. His en-
vironment naturally bred certain hab-
IFS OF command. fostered capacity for
directing the efforts OF others and Inn
posed sense Of responsibility upon
the planter for the lives that were In
his keeping.
