Roland, son of Earl Gilbert of Mer-
idian, died Monday from eating wild
parsnips. The two little Carpenter
boys, who were with the Gilbert lad
and also nibbled at the poisonous
roots, made a speedy recovery, and
in few hours were able to get about
again. 1t so happened that these tots
came home almost at once after eat
ing of the parsnips, and that on eating
dinner were nauseated, with the re-
suit that heir stomachs were emitted.
On hearing of the condition of the
Gilbert boy, the parents also admin
istered an emetic. The Gilbert lad,
on the other hand, went down town
and was riding about on his fathers
delivery wagon before signs of his
illness were noticed 1t was about an
hour after he had swallowed bits of
the poisonous tuber before poisoning
was suspected, and in that time the
destructive agent had too thoroughly
permeated the system to be counter
acted.

DISSERTATION 0F THE FLAG.

Editor Of The Evening Capital:

dynasty may sit upon its throne; for
its horiic King. fighting in the trench

The generous hah of America
reaches out across continent ard ocean
with help of heartfelt offerings t.
bleeding humanity in Belgium, Poland

money contributed can atone for the
insult offered Our Flag, in placing the
Stars and Stripes beneath any flag
that floats.

ties pledged for years to prevent the

ed to maintain the honor of the dag by
all that is sacred in the past, hallowed

flag as TO place it underneath for

Such action is not in harmony with
the standards of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and is a trayesty
upon the patriotism they stand for
The loyal Daughters Of the American
Revolution, true to their patriotic ideals
and traditions, true to their womanly
far-reaching sympathies and instincs,
weep for Belgium, and gladly minister
from their treasures to suffering Bel

timentalism that fiaunts a great for
eign flag over our American colors-
tiny in outline that they are scarcely
a suggestion even, of our great nation.
Better far, from the standpoint of
both patriotism and common sense
that our great American flag should

An exhibition Of Mrs. II. p. whitney's

all the important pieces designed by
Mrs. Whitney for various public places
in the last few years and a number OF

is an ambitious artist. but II must be
confessed at once that the present COL
lection will give an added idea OF her
achievements and will greatly extend
her reputation.
The gallery has been newly hung for
the exhibition. A curtain OF III silk
gauze hangs In front OF the former red
