 When that conflict broke out Capt. Driver display ed a. flag,-one which he had f1oated over his ship turin. his seafaring days-from the window of his home. The banner was fired on, and the old s1iper decided that he had better lower his colors and conceal them The Confederate troops demanded that he give up the flag, but he refused, and, respecting the spirit of the daring old man, they left him in peace.
 It was just f1fty-seven years ago to- day that Gen. Nelson appeared at Nashville with a division of the Union army, and Capt. Driver offered him his flag to be hoisted over the Capi- tol- AS it futtered in the breeze, Capt. Driver exclaimed, There goes Old Glory!" It was his pet name for the flag, and it was soon taken up all over the northern states, and is now popUlarly used throughout a re- united nation.

 She had to acknowledge that Rick. ard had scored there. And the burn ing of the machinery had left a wound that she still must salve.
