(JOseph ROdman Drake.)
When Freedom, from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there!
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then, from his mansion In the sun,
She called her sase-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Flag OF the brave! thy folds shall fly.
The sign Of hope and triumph hight
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the hfe-blood, warm and wet,
Has diwpsd the glistening bayonet.
Each soldfeRa eye shall brightly turn
To whore thy sky-born glories burn.
And, ~ his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home,
BY angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have ~ the welkin dome,
And al thy hups were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard Sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before w.
With Fvssdom's soil beneath feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER usf

leave home for a time in Or

wife a chance alone. Later,
If they desire 1t, we can re-
turn. Father leaves 1t to our
judgment, seeming to think
whatever we do Is right. Our
relatives and friends think 1t
is terrible for US to give up
our home to someone else.
They say father should not
let us do 1t, while we our
selves are only thinking of
his happiness. What would
you advise us to do?
TWO SISTERS.
Alt does not seem that your
fathers happiness depends on
your leaving home, even for Il
short time. He will probably take
his bride for u short trip and when
they return they will be glad to
find You at the house. You can
then adjust your individual duties

require. II your spirit of cooper

figure how your heart belongs to

ROBBERS MAKE A BIG

entered the barroom at Hot Springs,
near Yerington, just as Alex Ross was
ready to close up. They attacked him.
clubbing him with revolver until he
fell, then entered the bedroom where
Mike Silva. the proprietor, had already
retired and beat him into insensibil-
ity. When Mrs. Owsley, the house
keeper, tried to help the men they
fired shot at her. just grazing her
shoulder, and burning hole in the
clothes of her gown.
When the robbers had crowded them
all into one room they made a thor
ough search of the trunks, securing
$1,000, of which $240 was in checks
and the rest cash, a diamond ring and
diamond necklace which had been the
property of Mrs. Silva before her
death. One of the checks was on a

The men who did the job were very
well acquainted with the place, and
the whole affair was well planned be-

NEVADA MURDERER
WILL DIE AT HOME

Walter w. Kermeen, a former resi-
dent of Carson City, who is under life
sentence at Phoenix, Arizona, for
murder, is to be permitted to die a
free man, says the Phoenix Repub-
lican. In custody of his mother, Ker-
meen will pass through the big steel
gates of the Arizona state prison. a
proclamation of parole having been
issued by Governor hTomas e. Camp
bell, granting liberty to the prisoner
until such time as he shall recover or
die from his illness.
Kermeen was convicted in the Su-
perior Court of Cochise county on a
first-degree murder charge and was
sentenced to be hung. For twenty-one
months he was confined in the death
finally being commuted by former
Governor Hunt to lie imprisonment.
Kermeen is said to have come nearer
to paying the death penalty at the
prison than any other white man ever
sentenced to die, the Communication be-
ing made the day preceding the date
set for his execution.
1t was this long confinement in the
death chamber, it is stated which IS
directly responsible for the present
condition of the man. The terrible
strain is said to have caused him to
contract tuberculosis. He weighed 1870
pounds when confined and when re-
leased had dwindled in weight to 120
pounds. Although nearly six feet IN
height, he weighs only III pounds to-
day. After an exhaustive examina-
ton of his physical condition, DR..
George F. Huffman, prison physician,
declares that Kermeen i sa victim of
pulmonary tuberculosis in an ad-
vanced stage and has but short time
to live under the most favorable con-
ditions. The state board of pardons
and paroles, after a personal exami-
nation of the man and following a
long-established precedent in such
cases, unanimously recommended to
the Governor that Kermeen be paroled
and placed in the custody of his
mother, Mrs. j. j. Kermeen of Las
Vegas, Nevada, until such time as the
state of his health shall warrant his
return to the prison.

MEANING OF s7,Ooo,oOo,Ooo
Spent at Rate Of Dollar Minute, IL
Would Take 1888 Years to Dis
pose of 1t All.

Americas war loan of $7000,000O0O
surpasses the powers of the mind to
grasp, Thomas f. Logan writes in Les
lies. Spent at the rate of 81 minute
it would take 1898 years to dispose Of
the appropriation. Loaned out at 6 per
cent, $13 could be spent every second
for an indefinite period without touch
ing the principal.
Converted into silver dollars, the
coined pieces laid end to end would
reach more than four times around the
earth at the equator. Piled on top of
one another, these silver dollars would
extend nearly 600 miles in the air.
Made into dollar bills, they would
cover 2e,6S6 acres.
The interest on the loan is greater
than the entire running expenses of
the government less than half CEN
fury ago, while the amount itself would
conduct the affairs of the government
for fully seven years, on the basis Of
the annual expenditures of the last
decade.
Another and more cheerful way OF
looking at the situation is that, great
as the loan is. the wealth of the United
States is such that 1t amounts to the
lending out of 81 out of every $40 or
our existing tangible resources. A
penny a day saved by every inhabitant
would cancel the principal within 20
years.

Big PICTURE Will

The greatest moving picture in the

a considerable portion of the popula-

nights presentation here. Wednes-
day being 'prayer-meeting night" de-

ance of people who usually go to see
such production; but Tuesday even
ing the IS. r. o. sign had to be put
out about the time the performance
started. Intolerance" besides being
a monster photograph. carries heavy
lesson-a needed reminder, albeit one
which we accept reluctantly and for-
get all too quickly when the custom
of several generations asserts itself.
1t is doubtless true that the picture
will be appreciated more six months
from now by those who beheld it-for
the reason of it was good.
