paused long enough to shout at the anarchist,
who had recovered, and now seized the OPP

of Sheridan stood at salute.
Up it went. proudly rising above their
heads as it had risen in those years before
over hard-fought fields Its colors caught
the flash of the late sun, and every bar OF
red seemed colored by the blood of men w-lo
had fought for it, every bar of white the
symbol of forgiveness for those who had
fought against it. Gently the thin blue line
uncovered and saluted it. Weakly the voice
of the Colonel was heard above the mad
cheers.

And as they passed through the lane SO
widely and respectfully opened for them 1t
was observed that behind the tattered flag
of war, carried by a man in servants garb,
walked two old men who chung to each

And SO, out of the square, and into the shad-
ows of the long, long street, SO like road
leading into the sunset and the end of life,
marched the thin and valorous line of blue;
but behind them there huttered on its staff
the thing they had defended, the embodi-
ment of sentiment and an ideal-the flag.

meet the flame in his eyes, but shifted away.
Across the square the chimes of bell, mel
ancholy as sorrow, memorable and slow as
the knel of Fate, shivered the air with the
stroke of the hour. He waited until the last
echoes had died away across the city roots.
The cang of a streetcar disturbed another

was low and breaking as he finished in that
same hushed silence.

LIE fell back into the thin blue line that

dreading yet defying the end. For an in
slant there was silence, and then there arose
lone shout. For an instant it could not be
defined as cheer or curse. 1t became
cheer. Others caught it up. 1t swept up
ward in a terrific roar that resounded and
beat against the walls of the skyscrapers
about the square. In it was something
deeper than hatred more glorious than bat
tie, the rhythmic, memorable shout of des-

and loyal, it gained in volume until it seemed
to the thin blue line that the Heavens rocked
as if battered by the sound of thousand
heavy guns.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT COLORS
have been

EXPERIMENTS have been made in
- Europe to determine what color in a
soldiers uniform is the least conspicuous to
an enemy. OF ten men, two were dressed in
light gray uniform. two in dark gray, two in
green, two in dark blue. and two in scarlet.
All were then ordered to march off, while
group of officers remained watching them.
The first to disappear in the landscape was
the light gray, and next, surprising as it may
seem, the scarlet. Then followed the dark
gray. while the dark blue and the green re-
manned visible long after all the others had
disappeared. Experiments in firing at blue
and red targets, according to same expert
ments. proved that blue could be more easily
seen at distance than red.

and the assistant secretaries. If you want
to see the secretary to the President now,
the only trouble you have to take IS to re-
move your hat as you turn the knob and
walk into the secretary's office. Even if
you didn't take off your hat, the chances are
that nobody would bawl you out. And, if
you say enough to Mr.. Tumulty to persuade
him that you have real business with the
President, it is good hundred-to-one shot
that you will see the President at the earli
est possible moment.
XIORKING all the time for results, the
w kind of results that he is convinced
must be had, Mr.. Wilson is essentially hu-
man and individualistic. That is why he
gave Washington thrill when he carried
into effect his declaration that whenever oc-
casion arose he would go to the Presidents
room in the Capitol and there confer with
Senators and Representatives in regard to
important pending legislation. That IS also
why he gave the capital bigger thrill when
he went into the House, and, holding his
first annual message in his hand, stood be-
fore that vast assemblage of Senators and
Representatives and the crowded public
galleries and read the document from begin
ming to end.
Almost anv other man would have be-
trayed some signs of nervousness. He was
going through what was really trying Or
deal. He was running counter to prece-
dent that had existed since the days of
Thomas Jefferson. He, more keenly than
any other man in the chamber, realized that
there were among his hearers many who
disapproved of his course. Being trained
and practised public speaker, he has the
faculty of sensing the mental attitude of his
hearers. Moreover, some of his friends and
advisers had told him that there was oppo-
sition among Senators and Representatives
to his appearing before them.
Nevertheless. he showed neither nervous
ness nor excitement. And, as soon as he had
explained that his reason for coming in per
son before Congress was that he wanted to
be human being so as to cooperate with
other human beings in a common service
he won those who had been opposed to his
taking such action.
That is the keynote to the character and
work of Wilson He insists on being hui
man being. He has his own ideas and views
and, to back them up, he has Il long, broad
chin. But he dislikes the idea that. as he
explained, "the President of the United
States is a mere department of the govern
ment, hailing from some isolated island of
Jealous power" He wants to be close-hu-
manly close-to all the individuals compos-
ing the government.
When he gets an opinion, he gets it by
thorough study and swift. efficient thought
and he hangs onto it. But he is extremely

: PERFORATED COINS.
Uncle Sam Tried Them Several Timss
but Without Success.


Perforated coins were never In IA.
vor In the United States. though vari.
GUS efforts were made to popular ize
them. The first United States coin
with a perforated center was n gold
dollar issued in 1870. which had a
squire hole In the middle Of the
planchet II was the forerunner Of the
gold dollar issued by the United States
mint in 1S4a The coin was engraved
not struck from dies
The next United States coin with a
perforated center was issued from the
Philadelphia mint In 1850 and was OF
the denomination of cent. II was
about the size Of the bronze cent now
In use. At that time the large. old
fashioned copper cent was in general
circulation. and the perforated coin re-
ceived the name Of ring cent" The
designer reasoned that by means Of
the perfOratiOn the cent could be dis
tinguished by touch from the dime
Another perforated cent issued the
same year showed two rings in the
field with the words. Gent. One-tenth
Silver" The reverse showed an olive
wreath around the perforation and the
words. United States Of America"
The mint authorities undertook II
design a coin that would answer NIL
requirements. and the pieces were
struck with both pierced and perfect
centers in silver. copper. nickel and
composition metal. six varieties in all
without counting the various metals
but none OF the designs was favored
by the government authorities. and
consequently they were never put IN
general circulation.
The only gold half dollar ever pro
duced ut the United States mint was
struck I'm 1852. 1t had n perforatiOr

Regardless OF the generally accepted
idea the gold fifty cent pieces with
which the public is familiar were moi

manufactured by California jewelers.
There has not been any attempt to In
troduce the perforated coin In the
United States since 1884. In that yeal

Silken sweaters are much more dig
tinguished than the ordinary worsted
sort--and naturally, also, a deal more
expensive. But the handsome effect
of such a sweater. and the grace and
trimness of it's lines will make up
for the extra cost. Such sweaters
come in ribbed effect and in various
fancy stitches with borders in con-
trasting stitch. The silk sweater may
be all in one color, or a pleasing COM
bination of colors may be had, and
sometimes large buttons covered with
the knitted silk are used to give extra
smartness. A particularly good look

Civet coats cannot by any stretch

The most appropriate use for both
civet and leopard seems in the motor
coat which is always allowed special
latitude in the way of color and I'M
conventionality. and the tawny
browns of leopard pelt are especially
attractive against the wintry back
ground. One of these coats was worn
