Motor Expert.

The late King Edwards motor ex-
pert and engineer is very fair sort
Of a photographer. He has not turn
for art photographs" and he gives MS
just an ordinary cabinet sized pict-
ure of the royal family which he
served And the people in his picture
look most remarkably like just ordi-
nary nice people in a mediocre photo
graph. It is obviously a truthful ac-
count of the rather humdrum part OF
the life of a modern gentleman en-
gagged in the king business. The effort
to touch things up a bit here and there
is very naive.
The writer entered the Kings SER
vice in 1905. and was constantly in
attendance upon his majesty for five
years His business was to be in
| charge, as an expert, Of the royal cars.
He did not drive them, but so often as
his majesty went driving-which was
practically every day-he sat in front
b. the side Of the constable, drawn
from the Metropolitan Police, driving.
The King had four cars in regular use,
he tells us. Except for the small ore.
they carried no number plates. but
re
door panels and at the back of the
body the royal crown surmounting the
lion within the garter. The small car
was used for town work and nothing
bore merely a number and an unob-
trusive crown. The Kings smotor
equipage was entirely without pomp,
but smart, up-to- date and well turned
out" His majesty this motor expert
found an employer lat once good

tive 10 a degree, strict, but not stern.
scrupulously fair, often quick tenn
pered, though his anger had gone al
most before II was there never un-
reasonable, but always ready to hear
an explanation" This gentleman, con-
tinually smoking large black cigars.
when meeting his motor engineer off
duty, always raised his hat, taking Il
right off his head" whether at home
or abroad. Caesar invariably accom-
panied his master in the car. "A very
nice dog" says the writer; "he vas
always friendly TO me-" Cesar in
deed, is prominent and very engag-
ing figure in this story. He would
never remain on the floor of the car
for he loved TO look out of the window
all the time. II we swung around a
corner at high speed, when Caesar vas
perched on one of the auxiliary seats,
he was pretty certain to lose his bal
ance and tumble off on the floor. His
frantic efforts TO retain his seat upon
such occasions were most 'ludicrous.
and | have often heard mis- majesty
laughing TO see him.
So it is, with minute detail. that the
writer chronicles the fairly uneventful
daily runs of the King. The car was

Our Flag.

Gertrude Widney-6th Grade Al
From time immemorial flags have
been used by nations as symbols of in
dependence and power.
The flag serves as center of
thought in times of peace, and as a
rallying point in times of war. Our
flag consists of three colors, red, white
and blue. The red stands for the
blood shed by martyrs; the white for
purity; and the blue, for liberty and
truth.
The thirteen stripes represent the
thirteen original states, and the forty,
eight stars, states at the present time,
a star being added each time a state is
admitted into the Union. They are
set in a field of blue, and remind us of
the heavens.
The first flag was made by Mrs
Betsy Ross of Philadelphia, from draw.
ing designed by Washington.
Hail, starry flag. with heart and
hand
We turn to thee, a childish band,
And bid thee wave both glad and free,
Fair emblem of our liberty"

while Finley was on the mound for

Nine were again defeated by the Peli-
cans to the tune of to s. The batter
les were: Gerrets and Parmentel for
the Elmiras and Finley and Abbott for
the Stars. The feature Of the game
was the hitting Of the Pelicans, who
knocked Gerrets out of the box. A
triple play luckily saved the Elmiras
from a severe defeat. On Sunday,
April 20, 1913, the Stars added another
game to their record by trimming the
Wise Owls Z to in a hot ten-inning
battle. The sensational catch of c.
Laigast was the feature of the game,
while Finley steadied down on the
Owls in the three extra innings, retir-
ing them in one, two, three order.

The American flag, "Old Glory" as
it is lovingly called, stands for the
freedom of mankind, the equality Of
citizens, and liberation of all creeds
that it, may cover. 1t is a symbol of
justice, of humanity and of civiliza-
ton. 1t represents the American ma
ton, that glorious-country, where free
dom had its birth, and where class dis
tinction met its death.
Is there a man who, standing be-
meath it, does not feel proud it belongs
to him, to his country? If there is, he
must have soul possessed of no SEN
timent, no poetry, no love of home.
There are many sights, many Won
