Miss Church's portrait of the au-

Joseph II. Twitchell of Hartford, a
lifelong friend of Twain, says: II

have been made so living a likeness of
the man In that form. Really 1t brings
my dear old friend to life again as no

Miss Church until recently has confined
her art work to depicting animal life,
ana her study Of "The Runaway-An
Episode of Central Park. New York
City," has won particular favor from
critics.
The artistic education OF Miss Church
has been radically different from the
conventional methods that crystalline

she has made of teachers has been for

flag DAY
Observed 10 This City with
Appropriate Exercises

The Flag Day programme at the G..
A. II. hall Friday evening was very
interesting. The attendance was not
so large as the High school alumni re-
union Kept a number away, who were
to have taken part.
Rev. Father Mulhane gave a splen-
did address on the history of Flag
Day. and it's Significance to us. He
gave many facts and incidents con.
nected with the making of the first
flag. All thoroughly enjoyed his re.
marks.
Judge COyner gave beautiful poem
and brief remarks on the meaning of
the day.
Comrade Harter gave some of his
experiences In Andersonville prison
and the Joy that the prisoners ex-
pressed when they once saw the old
flag.
Col. l.. G. Hunt gave some interest.
ing views on the loyalty and patriot
ism OF our patriotic organizations. We
needed to hear what he said, as none
OF the organizations are formed for
just good social time," but to as.
sist each other in all patriotic work.
One feature of the program was,
before singing the patriotic hymns
and songs, to give a brief sketch of
the author and the circumstances Civ.
ing rise to the writing of the songs.
Every number on the program was
given in decidedly patriotic spirit.
The music was inspiring and all en-
joyed the old songs. A flag solo by
little Jeanette Bell was heartily en-
joyed.
Every exercise was appropriate to
Flag Day.
The only disappointing incident
spoken of during the evening was the
comparatively small number of flags
displayed throughout the city or from
the public buildings. However. we
were glad to know that goodly mum
ber of citizens cared enough to hang
out the colors.
The exercises closed by singing
America and all giving the flag salute
all feeling that they had spent a pleas
ant and profitable evening at the 135th
birthday anniversary Of our flag.

Washington, June 15-Why is the
Republican party beset by it's present
difficulties?
This question can be answered with
one word-Tariff.
The tariff was originally employed
to meet the demands of the civil war.
To raise war expenses the govern.
ment fouLd 1t necessary to tax every
article manufactured in this country.
The manufacturers Justly complained
at this. They said these taxes were
so heavy 1t would ruin them, because
they could not pay the heavy internal
taxes on their products and meet for
eign competition. Foreign manufac.
turers were driving Americans out Of
their own markets by underselling
them.
So plan was devised to protect
the American manufacturers.

ed articles said the government,
(which will put you on an even or bet.
ter than even footing with your for
eign competitors"
Everyone understood this protective
system was to be but temporary, to
meet an unusual condition. When the
war was over, the taxes on the pro-
ducts Of the American manufacturers
were dispensed with, and obviously,
the protection to the American manu-.
facturers should also have been re-
moved, as the special reason for pro.
lection had ceased.
But In the meantime the privileged
few had discovered that in the tariff

HINTS BY MAY MANTON
A NEW AND SMART BLOUSE.

The blouse that can be made Of two
materials is an extremely fashionable
one and this model is exceptionally at
tractive. The over, or suplice. por-
tions are especially adapted to lace
banding and materials of the kind
while they also can be made from
plain material trimmed at the edges,
consequently the model is unusually
available. In the illustration the
blouse portion is made of double
faced messaline and the darker side
is used for the lower portions while
the surplice portions are made of
heavy lace banding. If an evening
gown is desired the. blouse can be cut
out to form a square neck and under
sleeves can be used or omitted, as
liked. The blouse is cut all in one
piece, the sleeves making a part of it
and each sleeve is finished with a wide
hem and tuck, when under sleeves are
used they are attached beneath the
sleeve edges. To make of two ma
terials as illustrated it is necessary
only to cut the upper portion of the
blouse from one, the lower from an
other. The blouse can be adjusted 10
either high or natural waist line.
To make as illustrated the medium
size will be required / 1-S yards OF
material 81 or 36, 5-S yard "A inches
