WHERE The FLAG WAS BORN.

The small two-story house still
standing at 239 Arch street. be.
low Third, Philadelphia, has an
Interesting history. In it the
first flag containing thirteen
stars and thirteen stripes was
made by Mrs. John Ross. The
design for the flag was from a
drawing made by George Wash
ington with a pencil, and the
flag thus designed was adopted
by a resolution of congress on
the 14th day Of June: III. y
committee of congress. accom-
panied by General Washington
afterward called upon Mrs. Ross
and engaged her 10 make 4 dag,
from this design. The flag then
made is now known the world
over as the Star Spangled Ban
ner Of the United States. There
is striking resemblance be-
tween the design Of our fac and
the arms Of General Washing
ton. and it is believed by many
that the American flag was de-
rived from this heraldic design.

CELESTIAL SMILED AT LAST
But It Was Not Because His Hair Had
Been Pulled and His Nose
TWeaked.

Because he refused to smile and
look pleasant when commanded to,
Charley Chang, an Alhambra Chinese,
had his hair pulled, his nose tweaked
and both eyes discolored by A. B.
Mills, who the police say had i'm
bibcd freely, says an Alhambra dis
patch to the Los Angeles Times.
Mills and the Chinese were both pas
sengers on late car out of Los An
geles. Mills was in a happy frame Of
mind and favored each of the passen.
gers with benign grin.
Chang was probably thinking of a.
bad business week, for his coun-
tenance was long, solemn and mourn
full, and when Mills grinned at him
the celestial only looked the more for
lorn. Mills refused to allow anyone
around him to be anything but cheer
full, so he pulled Chang's hair and
asked for smile.
Chang didn't see anything laughable
about the hair pulling, so he contin-
ued to look sad. Then Mills grabbed
the fiat oriental nose between his
fingers and tweaked it until Chang bel
lowed for mercy, but did not smile.
AS the car reached Barfeld and
Main streets Mills decided on one last
superhuman effort to get smile from
Chang, so he smashed him two hard
blows in the face. Just then Marshal
Parker boarded the car and took Mills
and his victim into Custody.
Judge Northrup placed Mills under a
heavy bond to appear before him for
trial in the morning and then-Charley
Chang smiled.

OUR NATIONAL HONOR.

This is a time when every cit
izen of the United States, either
native or foreign born, should
rally to the flag of his country.
Whether it be by the bearing OF
arms or by the expression OF
loyalty in sentiment and action:
our country should have the un-
divided support of every person.
Its not the time for haggling
or criticism or for the indulgence
in political juggling of the inter-
ests Of the people.
We want unity of purpose and
of action by united people and
for united people, and nothing
else.
The Mexican leaders appear
determined to force US to a con-
fict of arms, and fit must come
it is the duty Of every citizen tc
be a citizen in fact as we'll as IN
name. Half hearted loyalty IS
not to be even considered.
When the national honor auc
the protection of the lives anc
property rights of our people
are in jeopardy political consid
erations and party strife shoulc
be relegated to the rear, leaving
in its wake a nation welded to
gether by the chains Of an un
quenchable fire Of patriotism.
Our national honor is in tht
balance today. It must be mp
held at any cost and under L!
circumstances and conditions.

MAKING TINES PROSPEROUS.

Prosperity to a considerable
degree rests upon the whims of
the business interests of the
country and upon the people
themselves.
If they are optimistic and be-
lieve in prosperity and work
faithfully to that end, prosperity
will be with Us, regardless Of
conditions in other countries.
We are a self-supporting people
aud are not dependent upon the
whims or exertions of others.
But if we become pessimistic,
and constantly predict disaster
and force ourselves to the belief
that it is to come, then VIC are
likely to get no more than that
which we predict,
A few people through the con-
slant use of their tongues can in
tine install into the minds of
others the same atmosphere Of
gloom that pervades them, and
this is spread to others, and yet
Others, until communities and
states and whole nations suffer
from the effect.
But prosperity can be made,
if we want it. 1t will come, if We
seek ii. 1t will remain, If We
nurse it.
We should talk prosperity,
feel prosperity, and act prosper
ity if we would have prosperity,
for in no other way will we meet
up with the favors of the gods.
It is up to you, to every citl-
zen, to work for prosperity IN
this community, for it is an al
most universal rule of men that
we receive in proportion as we do

SAD F0UaTHS Of JULY.

The saddest Foursns Of Jhls
IN the history Of the nation we're
those of the years Of civil war,
The day was no longer day Of
rejoicing of a united people, and
brother fought brother with a
valor never surpassed in the his
tory OF the world. If, when the
day came, the north rejoiced, ii
was a day Of sorrow for the
south, and if the north wept it
was d time Of jubilation for the
south. Such a day was the
Fourth OF July, 1868, when, af-
ter three days of terrific tight
ing and awful slaughter, the
north and the south heard mo-
mentous news from Gettysburgs
bloody field. Meade's dispatc h
to President Lincoln caused the
north to rejoice, but the south
was plunged in gloom.
But the independence days of
the civil war were not all days
of rejoicing for the north. In
1861 Big Bethel had just been
fought and had been Won by the
south, aud Ellsworth had been
shot while hauling down the
Confederate flag in Alexandria.
On this day also the Thirty-sixth
Congress met in extra session
with eight states not represent
ed.
The Fourth of July of 1862
had also been gloomy one for
the north, for Mcclellan suffered
severely in the Seven Days bat
tie and had been forced to re,
treat and change his base Of op,
erationS.
Dark indeed was the Fourth
of Jnlv of 1864. and with the x.
.ception OF the sinking Of the Al
aoama by the Kearsage Oft the
coast Of France two weeks be-
forehand the north had little
cause for rejoicing. For tie
south as we'll it was not u day OF
happiness. Grant was slowly
forcing Lee back, it is true, bat
he was with frlghtful slaugh-
ter in his own ranks. His loss
after crossing the RapIdan.
two months previously. had
been $4,000 men, and it was i'm
possible to forecast just how
events would turn out: The
following year the dark clouds
of war had rolled away, and had
it not been for the tragic death
of the president the Fourth Of
1865 would have been one Of the
happiest holidays in the history
of the nation. The only notable
event on this day was the read
ing of the proclamation of ann
esty to those southerners who
had taken part in the late war.

Use for Onions.

Onions are good for cleaning steel
articles that have rusted. Ru0 the
rust spots with a piece Of onicn and
leave for "a hours. Wash and polish
with bathbrick dust, moistened with
turpentine. Wash again in suds ana
scald with clear water. Knives that
have rust spots of long standing should
be plunged into an onion and allowed
to stand for some time. Finish the
cleaning process as above.

Napoleon's Poor Horsemanship.

Extraordinary were the precautions
taken that Napoleon should never ap-
pear at a disadvantage on horseback.
The emperor was not frst-class
horseman, and his horses were al.
ways thoroughly broken in. Here is
a description Of the methods en-
ployed: They were trained to remain
perfectly steady under tortures Of ev-
cry description; to receive blows
about the head; drums were beat, pis-
tolls and crackers fired in their ears,
flags waved before their eyes, clumsy
packages and sometimes even sheep
and pigs were thrown between their
legs. None Of the animals was deemed
sufficiently trained till the emperor
could without the least difficulty pull
them up short at full gallop, which
was his favorite pace"
