The primrose, 1t is said, was Bea-
consteld's favorite flower. and has
been chosen by his followers, who
formed the Primrose league, as an
emblem, while in France, the violet.
because of its purple hue. was worn by
imperialists rs an informal token OF
their loyalty to the Bonapartes. When
the son OF the ex-Empress Eugenie
was brought home to be buried after
being killed in the Zulu campaign, his
body was almost covered In violets.
Then. again, there are favorite ma
tional emblems. There are the lilies
of France. the thistle for Scotland, the
shamrock for Ireland. the leek for
Wales. and the maple leaf FOR Canada.
The United States has no national
flower and probably never will, owing
to its wide range OF climate. which
makes the selection of a flower of uni.
versal popularity almost impossible.

FLOWERS USED AS EMBLEMS
Have Been Distinguishing Mark Of
Factions as Long as There
ls Record.

The determination of the loyal"
Ulster men to induce every man. wom-
an and child to wear a flower as a
token OF their aversion to home rule
reminds one how often flowers have
been used as emblems.
Since the leaders OF the Yorkist
and Lancastrian parties each plucked
rose in the Temple gardens. the Ian
castrian red and the Yorkist white.
this flower has been a popular emblem.
Apart from the fact that red roses
are symbolical Of love and white of
purity. the English national emblem
is the rose; the Legitimist party Of
France formed the League of the Rose
In imitation OF England's Primrose
league. while owing to Gladstone's
fondness for white roses many liberals
once wished to make them an emblem
for their party. but the idea was not
adopted.

GRAIN TO STOP GOLD OUTFLOW.

Expect 75,00O000 Bushels Will Be
Sent to European Nations.
Washington. - Gold shipments to
Europe are practically at an end for
his year, in the opinion of George E.
Roberts, director of the mint.
Recently, Roberts said the excellent
grain crop in this country, coupled
with the bad crop conditions in Eu-
rope, would soon swing the balance Of
.rade back toward the United States
and check the outward movement of
gold.
This prediction was realized and the
exchange rate had fallen to a point
where the further expectation of gold
would be Improbable, and it seems
unlikely that Paris viii make further
,nroads upon the United States sup
ply of gold.
July and August promise to be rec
ord months for wheat expectations, st.
Louis, Kansas City and Chicago have
reported great sales of wheat to be
exported. Engagements for September
and October are also reported. 1t is
estimated that at least 75,00O,OO0 bush
els Of winter wheat will be exported
this month and next.

of Export Trade.
Washington. - Although world
leader in the interchange of products
States foreign trade is far short of its
immediate possibilities. Such is the
conclusion of officials Of the Depart
ment of Commerce after study of the
statistical abstract Of the United
States for 1913. American home trade
at present is estimated at about $4O.-
000,000,000, which is equal to the inter-
national exchanges Of the world and
approximately ten times the value of its
own foreign trade, now valued at $4,-
00O, 100000.
The abstract shows that the present
American export trade of $2,500.000,-
900 represents about s25 per capita.
A per capita basis equal to that OF
Argentina, it says, would raise Amerf-
can export power to $4,000, ,OOO, 900 and
one equal to that of Belgium would
bring it's exports to s10.000.0 .00o. GOO
year, while its aggregate Of foreign
trade, when upon a per capita basis as
large as Canada's, would be consider
ably over $13,00O,000 900.
The United States commercial pow
er and it's strong international power
is further emphasized in the abstract.
1t shows that the United States, with
25S,00O miles of railway, possesses
one-third of the worlds total. 1t leads
in the mileage Of its telegraph lines,
performs more than one-third of the
worlds mail service on it's own routes,
while its public debt of $1,000, O,00Oo 900
is less than that Of Italy, Austria-Hun-
gary, Spain, Germany, Australia,
Japan, Great Britain and is less than
one-sixth that Of France and one
fourth that Of Russia.
In the period since 1870 farm prod
ucts rose in value from $4,000 ,0O0,O 900,
to s10,000,000 900 a year; the coal out
put from less than 30,0OO,OO0 to 50O,-
100000 long tons; copper from s12,500
to 100000 tons; pig iron from 2,O00,.
600 to 31,000,000 tons; petroluem from

"a fool not to have remembered his

sprung into the doctors face. His eyes
searched the room, and he crossed the
floor and picked up something from
the rug. He looked at 1t moment,
then thrust it hastily into his breast

A big tear suddenly loosed itself
from the doctors eyelid and rolled
down his cheek, and he turned hastily
away.
There's no call to feel bad" said
the major gruffiy. I've sort of been
thorn-in-the-fiesh to you, Southall We

The doctor choked and cleared his
throat.

with a faint smile, you won't get
quite so much fun out of Chalmers

GUS sense of shrinking. How should
he meet this woman who recoiled from
the very sight OF his face? In the

he saw Judge Chalmers lift down the
frail form, and suddenly his heart
leaped. There were two feminine fig
ures; Shirley was with her mother.

hastily toward him, her light cane tap

Lewiston, Me-, Oct. 14.-Lewis E.

The positive announcement TO this
effect was made by Deputy Davis on
Thursday, For several days there
have been rumors to the effect that
the deputy was going to resign imme-
diately. These, so he stated TO Lew

were without foundation.
Deputy Davis term will not expire
until April. 1916. So far as his being
obliged to resign the municipal posi-
ton upon becoming sheriff of the
county there is no law, so far as he
has been able to learn, which requires
it. In stating his position, the depu-

fore the first of the year, anyway, and
1 may not resign at all. AT this time
/ rather incline to the idea that |

course, circumstances may arise which
will cause me to change my mind. At
this time l cannot but feel that under
existing circumstances, l shall con-
tinue to retain the city position until
