BIRTHDAY OF THE FLAG.
From the St. Louis Clobe-Democrat.


From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
o, beauteous banner of the free
Thou emblem of a nations truth,
Guide thou the sons of liberty,
Americas courageous youth
Let never vile intrusion tread
Upon the soil where thou dost wave
O, Flag, for which our fathers bled-
Now honoring the hero's grave.
Beneath the sky whose starry ray
Reveals its thralldom in thy folds,
We mark thy righteous birth today
The world no fairer emblem holds!
Roll! texture of our blood and soul,
Ger mart and home, o 'er land and sea
Above the freeman's mountains roll!
Our country, It's for thee!
Far-streaming stripes of red and white
0, argent stars in purest blue
Forever may those symbols bright
Wave DER a land SO great, so new!
May anthems of proud song arise,
As DER the State the Colors fly
And martial music to the skies
Proclaim exulting Liberty.

ROLAND AND THE MOVIES.
lBy Virginia Vale !

sABy Virginia Vale.)
 Once upon time five year old Ro- and sat in the front seat with his mother, right where he could be sure and not miss any of the fun
 Pretty soon they began showing pie lures of big fat policeman sitting at the kitchen table in a house and eating all sorts of good things which a funny faced cook was setting before him.
 Then a boys rnisehievous face ap- peared at the kitchen window and the boy shouted: "Oh you fat cop, why don't you eat at hone.'' This made the fat policeman very mad and he ran out of the house and after the boy
 Down the street they ran, round the ocrner, across a bridge. and finally the boy climbed up a tree. The po- liceman was too fat to climb the tree but managed to get hold of the boy s foot and started to drag him down.
 Roland laughed and laughed at all Of the pictures and they seemed like real people to him. He couldn't seem to realize that picture people could move and look so natural
 Finally as the boy was dragged down from the tree Roland saw his face and he looked just like his bigger brother Ned Roland's smiles vanished and he began to get real mad to see a policeman cuffing Ned over the ears
 When the policeman raised his club over Ned's head it vas more than Roland could stand and with a cry: Stop that, stop that" he bounded on the stage to rescue Ned. His mother just caught him in time and stopped his crying
 Just then the policeman tripped and

 There's many a man who might confess, if he were honest with you, that though his folks had lighted thirty candles on his birthday cake he had never yet had a sweetheart.
 It is not because he disli1es the op- posite sex or has no intention of mar rying when the time comes. but he is one of those extra sensible fellows, who do not believe in frittering their time and money with girls just for the sake of passing a pleasant. hour girl who will sometime touch his heart and awaken it. It is waste of time to- inveig1e such a young man into accepting invitations to places where he will be thrown in contact with pretty girls.
 beauty to some people appears only ordinary to others eyes. There are some men who feel antagonistic to beautiful, stylish girls, just as there are women who actually dislike the walking fashion plates of men.
 Every class has its own admirers. There is always some particular wo- man who can touch even the heart that has always been considered in- vulnerable
 No woman should be disheartene and consider that she is unattractive because she fails to arouse the inter est of an untouched heart It would attracted to just one woman or all the women to- one type of man. It isn't the face, form, mannerisnl, dis position that awakens love. It is the personallty-that indescribable inf1u- ence that mystic bond which ap- peaIs to both, and draws them to- gether Until such a one crosses the Path of either man or woman, their hearts will be unresponsive No wo- man should pursue a man with at tentions when she sees that he wants to be let alone. He may be polite enough to answer her note. or to ac- cePt her invitation To call thinking that is the easiest way gradually to break off seeing her. The man who Is dragged into paying a visit when he doesn't want to never feels as though he has enjoyed himself He mentally vows, as he winds his way homeward, that he'll not go there in a hurry again
 The right man will have no trouble in awakening interest. He will follow her all over the world if need be- A man is never slow if his hsArt urges He can resist anything, evrything on earth, save love when it shall come to him. Let no man say he would not trust his heart to a woman It is only a question of time until he meets the one woman in all the world who proves to be his ideal

FINDING THAT GIRL.

Dear Miss Idbbey:
 A young lady has written you she would like to change her place Of hv- ing. She is boohzeeper in a store, Julia by name. whom I met. I would correspond with her, though she in sists she never had beau, but likes those she is well acquainted with and is chary of strangers. Do you think I would be acceptable to her?
 ROY B.
 think you would make mistake in desiring to correspond with the young girl who has a mind of her own and is wisely chary of strangers, even though she had met you before Perhaps it's the name, not the girl, that haunts you At any rate. you seem to know little concerning her, while she, I am glad to say, is of the particular. worthy kind that will go among her own acquaintances and wait her time before encouraging a suitor even to her liking One who finds such 8 girl will never woo her in haste and repent at leisure.

WHY HE ACTS COOL TO HEIR.

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Please advise me of certain young man. I am a girl from the country and engaged to a, young man about three years He talks of our intended marriage and future to me, says he loves me, would marry no other girl He gets mad at mel never know what at-and never writes to me un- til call him. He is in a big town Do you think he will come back to me? How can win him again Christmas he got mad at me on pur- pose Did not give me anything. He works, gets a, good salary, has no. ex- cuse I know of. Do you think it proper for me to call him over the phonee If he wants to call on me- must I let him?
 CLARA.
 Your pIaint is certainly quite per picking to answer. It seems to be a case of true loves course never run ming smooth with both of you It may possibly be that you are paying too much attention to the young man while he is away; that he thinks him self, by thus doing, "a man of impor- tance.' He should be showing you more complimentary affection if he intends to we'd Unless you have a most important message, why phone to him? Let him do that. If he wants to call, that's just what you want him to do Allis well that ends well

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

In washing colored nuslins, the coI- ors are likely to run. Soak it first in salt and water, allowing a. handful of salt to one gallon of water. Then wash in tepid water.
 Hard boiled eggs shell much more smoothly if they are plunged into cold water when the yare taken from the lire; allow them to stand in the cold water until thoroughly cold.
 The juice can be kept in pies by put ting one or two pieces of macaroni in the center of the crust This allows the steam to escape and prevents the Juice from boiling out.
 To make chicken stock, cut an aver age-sized fowl into pieces and cover Wuith four quarts of cold water. Bring this to boiling point and allow 1t to gently simmer for three hours.
