PARENTS DON'T
NAG YOUR CHILDREN

We came upon an article few yesrs
ago that appeals to every parent. We
have seen some Of the best and finest
charactrrs ruined by this very fault In
parents constantly nagging | knew .
party once who was addicted to this
habit. The family consisted Of father
mother and one girl, and II the mother
ever saw the girl do anything right
don't know when it was. One day the
child came to me and said: IL wish
was dead" ] replied, "Don't you know
it Is wrong to say tbst?" "Well," said
she. "You don't know how hard it is tc
try to please, and never get kind word
No matter what | do it is never right
Ny heart aehed for the child but ] could
do nothing to help her. While there
may not be many such extreme cases
yet there are SO many parents who are
constantly nagging their children and
they appear to be unconscious of the
fact that they are running them by so
doing.
Children cannot stand this sort OF
thing without very great injury to their
nature. Even adults could not thrive in
such an atmosphere and what must he
the blighting and shriveing effect upon
sensitive, plastic child.
Children are very easily discourse ed;
their progress is to great extent de-
pendent upon praise. Appreciation is
the strongest possible motive with them.
They will do anything for parent or
teacher who believes in them, encourages
them, and tries to help them; but dis
paragement disheartens them and they
succumb under continual nagging and
scolding; their little sky is easily clouded,
One Of tho wickedest things you can
say to child or youth is to call him a
good for nothing, nobody, or to tell him
that how'll never amount to anything.
These cutting remarks are like initials
cut in a sapling, they deepen with age.
IL child has great weakness or grave
faults he should not be constantly re-
minded of them. You who are parents
or teachers should not hold these de-
fects or deficiencies in your minds. You
should see the ideal side, the good side
1.-THE best things in the children and
dwell on them. Encouraging their good
side will help them infinitely more than
discouraRing their bad side. We can al
ways reach people. yonng or old, by ap-
pealing to the divine in them. but hu-
man nature rebels against antagonism

across the plaza, that the shot was
fired that killed the first American,
marine.
The Plaza de la Constitution
abounds in grape-laden arbors. There
is music in the square on three nights
of the week, and it is converted into.
dress parade. 1t wakes in cool Of
early morning, for the Vera Cruzans
rise early and transact their business
before the heat of the day arrives.
AT IL O'Clock the shops along Avenue
de la Independence put up their shut
tiers. The whole public retreats into
its sleeping quarters behind thick,
adobe walls where the cool of the
morning still fingers because of the
early closing of every aperture, and
takes its siesta.
The Sacred Scavenger.
But while Vera Cruz sleeps from
eleven to one, Natures scavengers are
at work. 1t is a weird scene that
meets the American who passes down
the deserted streets of this port of
rich nation at the siesta hour. With
shutters up and all the human life Of
the city suspended, one walks the de-
serted streets with feeling of weird
desolation. 1t appears to the unac-
customed visitor as city of the dead.
And as he passes through the still,
sunlit streets bereft of human com
partnership there is ever with him that
weird presence of the scavenger buzz
zard. This. the, sacred bird of mys-
terry of the Aztecs, is a sort of guard
ian spirit of this city of the tropics.
The new sewage system of Vera Cruz
does much to dispose of its refuse,
but there is still need of the turkey
buzzard for doing away with matter
left on the surface. So they flock
through the streets. They hop about
the cutters and are SO tame as to be
almost stepped on. They ride males
tieally and solemnly on the tail Of any
passing milk cart They sit In the
trees of Plaza de la Constitution. But
above all, they flock by the thousands
about the roof of the old Parochial
church across that plaza from the
hotel.
And this spot is rich in historical
events with which every man is &C
quainted, but the exact setting for
which he has forgotten. Here it was
that Cortez burned his ships in 1919
He fist landed at this little island with
his band of soldiers of fortune gath
cred from among the adventurous spir
it's who were then won't to rendezvous
about Porto Rico. The ships were
burned that retreat might be made I'M
possible and the march inland was be-
gun. 600 men against the millions, with
no possibility of retreat.

but with a union of 13 stars blue ground,
representing a new constellation" According
to tradition, the first flag after the new design
was made by Mrs Betsy Ross in Philadelphia.
There is much uncertainty both as regards the
origin and regards the first by the army
and navy of this fag-probably, however 1t
first used at Fort Stanwix on August 6, 1777
No change made In the flag until January
1884, when two states Vermont and Ken
lucky, having been admitted to the Union Tin
1871 and 1892, respectively congress enacted
that after May l. 17s5. the flag of the United
States be Is stripes alternate red and white. that
the Union be Is stars, white in blue field"
No further change was made until 1918, when
five new states Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana. In
diana and Mississippi having been admitted to
the Union, congress enacted April 4, that
from and after the fourth day of July next the
flag of the United States be 1S horizontal stripes
alternate red and white, that the union have 20
stars, white in blue field" and that the
admission of every state into the Union one
star be added to the union OF the flag and that
such addition shall take effect on the fourth Of
July next succeeding such admission" This law
still remains in force The manner In which the
stars were to be arranged in the union Of the
flag not prescribed and ever since flags have
differed considerably in this respect. The rule
followed in our first expansion flags of 1875 of
arranging the stars so that the whole number
formed one large star abandoned as new
stars began to appear the flag, and the stars
were placed in rows. This is the form of the
flag today, whose stars tell the marvellous story
of continental expansion and whose folds
voice the spirit of freedom and justice on land
and sea-
Hail brightest banner that floats on the galei
Flag of the country of Washington, hail!
Red are thy stripes with the blood of the brave;
Bright are thy stars the sun on the wave;
Wrapt in thy folds are the hopes of the free.
Banner of Washington! blessings on thee!
Traitors shall perish. and treason shall fail:
Kingdoms and thrones in thy glory grow pale:
Thou shalt live on and thy people shall own
Loyalty's sweet, when each heart is thy throne:
Union and freedom thine heritage be
Country of Washington, blessings on thee!
On July A. 1912. by the addition of two new
stars for each of the two new states of
Arizona and New Mexico, the total of stars
reached AS and the end of the chapter was
reached There can be more states admitted
TO the Union, all the territories of continental
United States have now reached statehood and
the only possibility of additional stars being
added is the partition OF Texas into two or more
states, which was reserved as a constitutional
right by KAT state upon its coming into the
Union

several centuries. Prior to the Revolutionary
war the flag generally used in the American coIo
mes was OF course that of Great Britain though
AT dlHerent times in different colonies minor
variations were introduced. The first English
nag to appear in what is now the United States
was the red cross of st. George red cross upon
white neld-and under this emblem various at
tempts were made to establish colonies in the
new world In 1906 after the union between
england and Scotland, the white cross of St An
drew was added and the field was changed from
white to blue Under this flag the Mayfower
sailed; under 1t were established the first perma-
nent Anglo-Saxon settlements in the new world
and the flag was generally used in the colonies
wnen any flag was used at ALL down to 1907.
Previous to this in England the flag underwent
change The field changed from-blue to
crimson and the crosses of ST. George and st
Andrew, which had covered the entire field, were
placed in the upper left hand corner. In 1907
Great Britain adopted for the whole realm the
union flag Of St James. During the early part of
the Revolutionary period each colony used an
emblem of its own-frequently the coatof-arms
OF the colony with the addition OF some such
notices as "Qu transtulit sustinet," or George
Rex and the Liberties of America" One flag

A SONG or THE FLAG.

CBy Denis A. Mccarthy
Here is my love to you flag OF the free,
and flag of the tried and true,
Here is my love to your streaming stripes.
and your stars in a field of blue!
Here is my love to your silken folds wher
ever they wave on high,
For you are the flag of a land for which
t were sweet for a man to diei
Native or foreign are all as one when
cometh the day of strife;
What is the dearest gift we can give for
the flag but human life?
Native or foreign are all the same when
the hearts blood reddens the earth,
And native or foreign, t is love like this is
the ultimate test of our worth
Native or immigrant--here is the task to
which we must summon our powers;
Ever unsullied to keep the flag in peace as
In wars Wild hours
Selfishness, narrowness graft and greed,
and the evil that hates the light,
All these are foes of the flag today, all
these we must face and fight.
Symbol of hope TO me and mine, and to all
who aspire to be freei
Ever your golden stars may shine, from the
east to the western sea!
Ever yoar golden stars may shine, and ever
your stripes may CLEAN
To lead us on from the deeds we do to
the greater deeds that we dream,
( Here is our love to you. flag of the free, and
flag OF The tried and true;
Here is our love to your streaming stripes,
and your stars In, field of blue
Native or foreign, we're children all of the
land over which you fly
And native or foreign we love the land for
which It were sweet to diet
