EIan for Old vincennes.

The city council of Vincennes, Ind,
is considering the adoption Of flag
for Vincennes to be used as the city's
official emblem during the coming In
diana centennial celebration, says the
indianapolis News.
The suggested design is intended to
set forth the British rule of Vincennes
by an old English red ''V'' in the blue
center and the French control by a
white feur-de-lis, which was the ma
tional emblem of France during the
time this territory was under the
French government.
Radiating from the center there are
18 white stripes, indicating that In
diana was the 18th state admitted to
the Union. There also are 48 small
white stripes, indicating the number
of states now in the Union.

HEAD OF THE PLUNKETTS

Count Plunkett is the head of the
well-konwn Plunkett family Of Ireland,
which has fallen on evil days. He
and other members Of the family fig
ured prominently in the recent abor-
tive attempt at an Irish rebellion and
one of his sons, Joseph, was executed
in Dublin for his share in the uprising,
having been one of the signers of the
proclamation of Irish independence.
The counts two other sons,
George and. John, were sentenced to
five and ten years Imprisonment, re
spectively, for the part they had in
the plot, and the count himself was
locked up for time.
The title of Count Plunkett is a
papal one, having been bestowed on
him as an appreciation of his services
to the Catholic church. He and his
family are all well educated, cultured,
and refined, and also are very popular

efforts in behalf of agriculture in the

GOLD in EASTERN STATES
With Silver and Other Metals Years
Production is Around
100000.

Not all of the gold of this country
comes from Alaska and the Rocky
Mountain states. A good-sized lump
of it, more than 10000 ounces, worth
$224,25O, is dug out Of the mountains
here in the East, remarks the New
York Sun.
Gold hunters dreamed for years of
hidden wealth of yellow metal in the
southern part of the Appalachian
range. Some of them stopped dream
ing and went to work, missing an Ell
dorado but gaining enough profit to
pay well for their daily labor. AS a
result So gold and placer mines and
"a deep gold mines have been devel-
oped.
The most productive of these are in
North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
The last-named state has not done so
well as in some previous years, but
both the others have exceeded the pro-
duction of 1914 The largest placer
mine is in Rutherford county, North
Carolina, and the most productive
deep mine in Montgomery county, in
the same state.
But the whole story Of metal mining
in the East is not told in the quest
for gold. Besides this precious min
eral, silver, copper, lead and zinc have
been produced in quantities sufficient
to make total last year of almost
thirty million dollars. This is nearly
three times the value of the preced-
ing years production, the increase in
gold alone being more than fifty thou
sand dollars.

SlSSON'S LONG COAT

Thomas u. Sisson, congressman

longest frock coat to be seen about
the house of representatives.
Having that fact firmly fixed IN
our minds, let us now go on with the
denouement of our brief tale. Sisson
had constituent for whom he desired
to obtain a promotion in one of the
departments. An employee there in
one of the higher-up places died sud-
denly and Sisson assumed that this
vacancy made by death might facili-
tate matters for his man. He went to
the chief of that division and asked
him to appoint his candidate to the
vacant place.

chief, never to fill vacancy caused
by death until after the funeral"

JOHN BURKE'S HANDWRITING

United States Treasurer John
Burke wrote VIGOROUSLY poor hand
when he was boy attending country
school What made it all the more
noticeable was that he had two broth
ers in the school who wrote phenom-
enally good hands. Whenever there
were visitors to the school, one of
Burkes brothers was certain to be
called on to make a few fourishes on
the blackboard.
Burke took the position that many
of the greatest men in the country
wrote poor hands and that it did not
much matter, anyhow, as few persons
ever saw ones handwriting. And
there was where he reckoned not
wisely, for today his signature is en-
graved on all the new money, and I'M
less times are too hard it makes it's

former teachers saw his signature on

Thereupon an old friend of the lady

Miss Edith Benham, the social

marriage Miss Benham took up social
secretary work after the death OF her
