a. TOUCHING INCIDENT.

Florence Times.
One of the most touching incidents
in the many stirring stories that have
come to us from across the water ls
that when the American flag was
being carried through the streets OF
Paris it was noted that many children
fell on their knees at its approach.
They were orphans and that flag had
meant the care OF father who had
been lost as a producer, a strong
arm on which to lean, broad chest
that could and would shield them from
danger. No tribute more glorious
could be paid to any nation or nag
and to US it brings the lesson that we
have a high calling in the world and
to us is given a wonderful privilege
we have a name that we must nos
see those who worship the emblem
of Americas strength and power be
ashamed for us or the way we protect
cur name and trust. Would that we
might always use our power so that
the fatherless and the oppressed coulo
fall On their knees at the symbol OF
il AMI thank God for great America
and the American people.

Comparison between the gross and
net quotas shows what any State has
done in furnishing troops by the vol
untary system Striking examples
I from the top and bottom of the list
are Oregon and Arizona. Oregon S
gross quota was 7,737 men, but the
State has 1853 National Guardsmen
and has given 1874 war recruits to
the regular army. In all Oregon had
credit for 6;657 volunteers to apply
against aer gross quota, which has
;; reduced her net quota to III men.
Arizona, on the otner hand, with a
gross quota Of 4,47S men, has only
727 in the National Guard and has
recruited only III men since April
for the regulars, making the States
net quota after adjustment 3,472.
Preparations for the great drawing
went ahead steadily today. OF the
1859 exemption districts the papers
{ OF $500 have now reached Washing
ton and hundreds more may be in the
mails. The date of the drawing car
