GEORGIA Constable's Dilemma.

Cap. Carroll, one of the town con.
stables, by direction levied on negro
woman's aged horse and buggy which
had been driven into town. The horse
was blind and so old that it could
scarcely walk. But to cap 1t all an.
other negro woman claimed two OF
the wheels of the buggy and negro
man the Others. So you can imagine
the officers feeling standing there in
the street wondering how to get the
vehicle with only one wheel that could
be touched by even the strong arm OF
the law, away. as the woman was re-
turning home afoot. But as luck
would have it. Bill Anderson came
along and proposed to sign an ap-
pearance bond for the property. The
woman was called back. the papers
were signed and Cap. Carroll was the
happiest man in town, for he had
never driven blind horse hitched to
a buggy with but one wheel.-Dahlone

NAMED old GLORY
Life Story of Man Who Christen-
ed the Flag.
Ran Away to Sea Because Of Being
Made to Wear Ruffies, and After
ward Became a Famous
Captain.

Reno, Nev.-Capt. William Driver.
the man who christened the Amer
lean flag "Old Glory" was born in
Salem. Mass, March II, 1903.
At the age of 10 Driver was appren-
ticed to a blacksmith. Instead Of
making plows and shoeing horses.
however, the blacksmith's wife set
him at work milking cows and doing
light chores. In order that he might
surpass the other boys Of the place
IN personal appearance, the black
smiths wife clothed him with shirt
waist of unbleached goods. with great
rows OF ruffles down the front. Driver
demurred. but the blacksmith's wife
insisted that the shirt must stay on.
However, when Driver was going
out through the gate 1t was noticed
that he rolled up his sleeves; he knew
that he was in for fight with every
boy In town. When he got around
the corner he carefully cut away as
much Of the ruffles as he could, but
he had to fight, nevertheless; and he
came out of 1t all triumphant though
somewhat disflgured, as might be ex-
pected Of lad that has to lick the
whole crowd just because some wom-
an puts a ridiculous costume on him.
So he ran away and went to sea.
During his first voyage at sea after
severe storm, which caused the ship
to spring leak, the men refused to
work the pumps unless their wages
were raised. The old captain Of the
ship sent Driver below for his pistols
and pipe. When he brought them on
deck the captain cut the boats loose.

crew they would either pump or "all
hands would go to hell together
They returned to the pump and saved
the ship.
He sailed with this captain for FIVE
years, who soon afterwards made him
mate, and from him he learned many
valuable and useful lessons. He left

ter. At the age of 81 he was made
master of a ship in 1924.
1t was about at this time that he
christened the flag "Old Glory" as he
and his old captain had seen some
stirring times under its folds and con-
sidered no name too sacred for 1t. He
commanded different ships from that
time on until he left the ocean and
settled in Nashville, Tenn, in 1897.
He passed through many thrilling and
perilous adventures after he became
captain, was chased by heavily
armed Yankee pirate" in the Carib-
bean sea for six hours He outsailed
and lodged him in the dark, and saw
the pirate hanged afterwards, much
to Captain Drivers satisfaction.
He had considerable experience

The trip, including SO days stoppage
in ports, made 1t altogether 26S days.
This was his last trip to sea.
His flag "Old Glory" which had
been his companion for years, he
packed in his camphor wood sea chest
and moved to Nashville. Tenn, in
1887, where he died March 2. 1886. He
gave the flag to his daughter, Mary
Jane Roland, in 1878. She still has 1t

original dimension was 10x2O feet,
blue field 5x6, an anchor in the lower
inside corner blue field, thirteen
stripes, and at the breaking out of the
Civil war thirty-four stars, the num-
Der of states in the Union at that
time. He asked to have a new star
put on the flag every time new state
was admitted but added none after
the war as the old flag had seen its
day.

stranger was clearly surprised He
held his pipe in his hand with his
thumb over the bowl and seemed to

And now" continued Ardmore,
I'm tired Of having this end of the
country run by the Appleweights, and
their disreputable gang, so I'm going
to lock you up"
The stranger turned toward the
cabin, one corner of which was plain
ly visible, and shrugged his shoulders.
II have nothing to do with the APP
pleweights, and l assure you l am not
a timber thief"
Then you must be the one who has
lifted few steers out of my herd 1t

of the business you are engaged in,
for we're picking up all the gang and
you've got to come along with me-"
The captive showed signs of anger
for the first time. His face flushed,
and he took step toward Ardmore,
who Immediately threw up the revol-
yer so that it pointed at the mans
head.

man Appleweight, SO you've lost your
leader. and I tell you the jig's up.
Well have you all in Jail before an

1t was warm and the captive was
perspiring freely. He moved along
docilely, and finding that he mani
tested no inclination to bolt, Ardmore
dropped the revolver to his side, but
with his finger on the trigger.
They soon reached a field where
some laborers were at work, and Ard
more called them to him for instruc-
tons

are warm; the sky is perfectly clear;
and you will kindly see that he does
not lack for food"
Two of the men jumped forward and
seized Ardmore's prisoner, who now
broke forth in a torrent of wrath,
struggled vigorously.
That's right, boys; that's right;
easy there! Now in he goes"
A series of cOrn-cribs fringed the
field, and into one of these, from
which half the corn had been removed,
the prisoner was thrust sprawling
upon the yellow ears. and when he
rose and flung himself round, the
door of the cOrn-crib slammed in his
face. He beloved with rage now, see-
ing that his Imprisonment was a seri-
GUS matter, and that it seemed likely
to be prolonged indefinitely.

that anything as crazy as you are was
