LEFT FOR coNQuERoR Of All
Space Above Flag at Half Mast 'la
Supposed to BE Reserved for
Banner Of Angel Of Death.

Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever a prominent person dies.
especially II he is connected with the
government. the flags on public build.
lngs are hoisted only part of the way
up. This is called "half-mast." Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death OF q great man?
Ever since flags were used In war
It has been the custom to have the flag
Of the superior or conquering nation
above that Of the inferior or vanquish.
ed When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten It hauled its nag 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 sol.
der 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
flag flying at half-mast being a sign
that tho dead man was worthy Of
universal respect. The space left
above 1T is for the flag Of the great
conqueror of all-the angel of death.

Love AND Dynamite
Proper Use Of the Explosive
Stopped Flood and Won
a Wife.
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

Evan Bruce, salesman, turned the
corner Of a vacant square with high
board fence around 1t on a keen run.
1t was to see a 1.-the form with a
satchel in one hand run up q slanting
support, grab at the top of the fence
and bolt over it out Of view. Bruce
proceeded to spot where the man he
was pursuing had vanished. He
looked through crack in the fence
and his good-natured face wrinkled in
to smiles and he chuckled.
Bruce had carelessly left his sat-
chel on the sidewalk outside of a
store. He made his purchase of some
cigars, and came to tho street again
to see a man running away with the
satchel. He had put after him to find
him now in a somewhat sad plight.
The thief it seemed had scaled the
fence to evade his pursuer. He had
not, however, counted on what was
before him. Some construction was
meditated beyond the fence. Prepara-
tory to the same broad space had
been covered with an asphalt cement.
The fugitive had dashed across this,
which was freshly laid. He had sunk
in ankle deep. Mired as in mass
Of mud, he had floundered about and
managed to get back to the edge. Here
he had hastily opened the satchel.
One glance at its contents and he
dropped it with o yell. Then he ran
down the edge of the cemented space
and disappeared.
It cost Bruce some time and labor
to in turn scale the fence and re-
cover his stolen property. He did
this in perfect good humor.
Wonder what the fellow thought
when he read the labels on those
samples?" he laughed. mot that it

home was nearly three miles from

upon a pretty country house. No one
