Humorous Childish Errors.

The literary mistakes Of children
are perennial and perennially amusing
in character. A public school teacher
who recently has compiled a book Of
first aid" information In behalf Of
her pupils says, for example. that the
allusion Dan to Beersheba" brought
forth the amazing mislnformation that
Dan was q man who was confined In
a lions den for mistreating his wife,
Beersheba, and that another eager II
inaccurate student described Canaan
as the mother Of Cain.

lovers went away, unheedful of the
lonely man who babe them Godspeed,
or of the bear, who had fallen asleep
in a dark corner,
Meanwhile, Leigh, his heart like to
burst with a hundred eliminated emo
lions, sat by the balcony rail, and
scanned the crowd in eager search for
Pedro. From this vantage point he
saw Iris and Samuel take their de.
parture, and then the music stopped.
There was a fluttering of hands, the
ripple Of applause died away, and
the crowd broke up into groups, who
laughed and ate with as little concern
as though the world had not been
changed forever for Leigh. Suddenly
a strange thing happened.
The center Of the floor was for the

above the gay murmur OF the human

danced, held back by that unwilling
ness to be the first which always fol
lows the opening strains Of a new
measure. Then Leigh became con
scious that a hush had fallen upor
the crowd.

wide, and from the darkness without

He spoke high ly of his side kicker, William How ard Taft. and said that the admins tration of that gentleman was some thing to be proud Of. The present apparent diScontent with the admin istration was nothing but a spasm that sometimes occurs without ap- parent reason, and 1t wSusS blow away again leaving things just as lovely as they had been in the past.

FLAGS FLYING HALF MAST
Custom Long Ago Passed From Pure
ly Military Usage to Public Life
OF All Kinds.

Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever a prominent person dies, es-
pecially II he is connected with the
government, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up. This is called half mast. Did you
ever stop to think what connection
there could be between a flag that was
not properly hoisted and the death Of
a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war II
has been the custom 10 have the flag
of the superior or oonquering nation
above that Of the inferior or van
quished. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten It hauled It's fog
down far enough for the flag of the
victors to be placed above 1t on the
same pole This was a token not
only of submission. but OF respect.
In those days when a famous soldier
died flags were lowered out Of respect
TO his memory. The custom long ago
passed from purely military usage to
public life Of all kinds, the nag flying
at half mast being sign that the dead
man was worthy OF universal respect.
The space left above Il is for the nag
Of the great conqOeror OF all, the
Angel of Death.

Substantial Kite Frame.

Around the edge of this are spaced
loops, and in the middle is a circle
of sockets in line with the loops.
Half a dozen sticks, all the same
length, form the ribs of the frame,
which is made by thrusting one end
Of the sticks through the loops and
into the sockets This gives a firm
frame with every rib of exactly the
same length and guarantees regular,
even flying for the kite. The frame
can be covered with either muslin or
paper and is so substantially made
that it will outlast many coverings,
even If they be of the stoutest ma
terials.
