He knew stories Of the fam ous portraits on the walls, and after having examined the old senate and council chamber. he led the visitor down to the great ctagon-shaped TO- tunda where. behind their plates Of glass. artfully grouped and festooned. were the battle flags of the Massachu- sets regiments nothing but the bare iagstaffs of some, others mere shreds of bunting hanging in pathetic fes- toons, only a few with the colors in- tact. pierced here and there with bull let holes Stopping before the first corner he began in his low. well-modu- lated voice to explain about them. There were two shafts, shattered and roughly splieed few inches below the gilded spear-heads.
 Those two flags" he began, were given to the regiment by two sisters, who were engaged to be married to two officers; one a captain. the other a lieutenant AS you see. the flags were both hit in almost identically the same spot. and under them both officers were killed" Pointing 10 an- other flag he said, Beneath this flag seven men were killed and four were wounded It was decorated with a medal of honors So it went on. There was a story to almost every one of the timeworn relics of the battle fields At last the guide came to the case in the northwest corner of the hall Immediately in front was a sil- ken banner across whose faded red and white strips was big blotch of brown. It needed no second glance to tell what the blotch meant.

HOW A MARRYING MAN LOOKS
AT THE THING.

In appea rance the widow IL generally
everything that the dazed and amazed
young girls describe her as being, 'old.
fat dyed wrinkled. made-up. &c" But
n man doesn't thirrN nearly so much OF
how a woman looks to him as of how
he appears to her. If she persuades
him that Ulysses. Alexander. Napo-
leon, Hamilton. Burr and other heroes
Of the hearts OF women were all single
candle power heroes In comparison
with himself. II doesn't much matter
that her hair IL dyed: that her eyes
are faded and her figure past redemp-
ton even by a s25 corset. And. OF
course. she must know that the first
duty of woman Is to make her hero
comfortable
She must realize that Ulysses
was cranky before breakfast; that
Alexander never knew where his
handkorchiefs were; that Napo-
leon came home to dinner with
crouch; that Hamilton got mad
II the morning paper hadn't come,
and that Burr knew that the un-
pardonabls sin 10 q burned steak.
Knowing these things, she permits
her hero all the prerogattves OF
hsroship. He doesn't have to wear
his halo to breakfast, but merely
in society and with his evening
clothes.
The tremendous, the overwhelming
power Of the predigested siren Is In
the fact that man doesn't have to
make a blum TO her-at least. that's the
only answer | can find to the question
asked in the following letter:
