ANNIVERSARY OF THE FLAG.
Appeal to Display the Emblem To-moT'
row, June Ia.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: As june
IA is the l35th birthday anniversary
of the most glorious emblem of human
lberty--the American flag the Wonl'
ans Relief corps wish to call attention
to it through your columns, III the hops
that those who honor the flag may dis,
play it on that day.
The original flag was designed by
George Washington, who, in company
with two other gentlemen, called in
May, l77G, on Mrs Betsey Ross Of
Philadelphia, and showed to her plan
he had sketched for a flag with thlr-
teen stripes and blue field with thlr-
teen six-pointed stars. Mrs. Ross OBJ
jected to the six-pointed stars on ac-
count of their irregularity, folding n
piece of paper in such manner that by
one cut with the scissors, she produced
at once a iiye,pointed star, and it was
adopted by the committee and she made
the first star splanged banner
1t has had many historical changes
since it's birth; it has led the braves
to victory it has hoated over the era
dies; the colors, union, peace and truth.
dom, or fervency, purity and truth.
Ninety-three million people of this eoun-
try honor, revere and recognize this flag.
A national ensign, it floats to-day over
nearly one tenth of the earth's dry land,
More men have fought for it than for
any other flag. 1t matters not what
your politics are or your religious views,
we ask you one and all TO honor tie
flag of Washington. Hancock, Grant and
many others, and let it fly from your
homes Friday, June IA, that the boys
and girls of to-day may honor and up
hold the flag emblem of all that is
brightest and best

AN ATHLETE AND A SCHOLAR

In addition to playing on the varsity
football team for three years, Cyrus
Mccormick has been voted the most
intellectual man" in the graduating class
Of Princeton university Here is a dual
standard which budding college men
should strive to attain, bearing in mind
that it is possible to be good athlete
and good student at the same time.
Too often the athletes in college think
that their prowess in physical lines is
an excuse for sloyenly work in the intel
lectual field and that if they excel in
athletics it is all that is asked of them.
Mccormick is a good example of the
well.rounded college man.

After coming back to Barre and seeing
the real need for that proposed new
building, the Goddard alumni ought to
put their shoulders back of the move

hasn't had new building for many
years, and it needs one now to keep
pace with the demands of modern educa-

Breeding Over Your Worries Won't
 Tighten the Burden.
 It is the duty of mankind. even in depressing circumstant es. to strive to be cheerful. 1t is the general belief that if q man is not naturally light hearted he cannot make himself so.
 Yet th.s is far from being the case, and there Is many q man who is at present weary burden to his reIa tives, miserable through the carking care of some bodily ailment perhaps or some worldly misfortune, who, If he had grown up with the idea that to be cheerful in all circumstances was one of the first duties of life, might still see pleasant enough world round him.
 The worries of morose person will shorten his days, and the general jus tice of natures arrangement provides that his early departure should entail no long regrets.
 On the other hand, the man who can laugh keeps his health. To the per- fectly healthy laughter comes often. Too commonly, though, as childhood is left behind, the habit fails, and half smile is the most that visits the thought lined mouth of modern man or woman. People become more and more burdened with the accumulations of knowledge and with the weighty re responsibilities of life, but they should still spare time to laugh.-Detroit Free Press.

I He regretted that he cannot claim to Ihaye done much for the school, but he , wished to impress upon his hearers a word of highest commendation for the remarkable growth he notes since his last visit to Monson. MT. Adams was one of the live wires of his day, and spoke of events of that time which proved of especial interest to those among the company who also rememered them.
 For the graduating class, Henry N. Flynt of Monson made an interesting response. He voiced the satisfaction felt by the members of the class that they are now of the alumni and ex- pressed their appreciation of the fact that they have work to perform as alumni and that all must work hard to do it. He offered the greetings Eof his class to the members of the as- sociation.
 Miss Olive Morgan responded for the class of 1902. She was an inter- esting speaker. None of the members of her class have done anything very wonderful, she said, but they are all Idoing their best for the academy and perhaps later in life may have greater achievements to report. This class will present to the academy picture, which will be ready to hang when the school opens in the fall 1 The committee on nominations made it's report and officers were unan- imously chosen as follows: Presi- dent, Rev.

 It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that affiict humanity; they must keep up,' must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bear ing down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Sick kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body.

Bret Harte's Explanation That Made

Bret Harte's Explanation That Made
 the Matter Quite Clear.
 Bret Harte, the whimsical and bril- liant chronicler of Roaring Camp and Poker Flat. used to become weary to exasperation at the foolish admirers who could not separate him from his characters and who insisted on con founding their experiences and predl. lectiOns with his own.
 Since he wrote of pioneer mining camps in the early days of the gold fever. his characters were often heroic only in part. Indeed, they were quite as often rogues as heroes. As he ob viously could not be identified with the rougher types among them. the favorite notion seemed to be that he was. or had been. gentleman gam bler With that idea in mind a young Englishman in London once tried hard to get him to describe and explain poker, which he referred to as your great American game MT. Harte conveniently misunderstooHn aim.
 "So you say great game over here?" he inquired amiably. ''In the United States. now. we call it big game grizzlies. catamounts. buffai" and bighOrn-don't you know. IIut we don't chase them with pOkers. No no. They're abundant. but they don't often come into the houses. really It's usually necessary to go outsif" with gum
 At another time he learned that |: certain noted hostess, whose invin tion to dine he had just accepted had been questioning one of his intimates to learn if it were true that he was |; reformed gambler. .---
 "Not reformed" declared Mr. Harte wearily. ''Tell her l arr beyond refor nation. Tell her that was my own model for the gambler Oakhurst and that the scene of his suicide is pure autobiography.''-Y Companion.
