It Looks Reasonable

One of the trombone players in the New
Sharon band insists, according to the Oska-
loosa Herald, that recently when he was
out playing he couldn't get any sound out
of his instrument Later, after going
home, he stood his trombone up by the
stove and after about half an hour it be-
gan playing and entertained himself and
family for about half an hour with all
kinds of marches. The tunes he had
blown into the horn had frozen in it, be-
cause of the severe cold, and then had
thawed out upon his return home, giving
him a nice evenings entertainment.

Old Glory

Captain Stephen Driver was without
doubt the first man to christen our flag
"Old Glory" He was born at Salem,
Massachusetts,, March II, 1908. When
about to sail from that port in command
of the brig "Charles Doggett," in the year
of 1881, he was presented with large
American flag. As it was sent aloft, and
broke out to the air, Captain Driver
christened the beautiful emblem "Old
Glory" and this was the name he ever
more used for it. His flag shared with
the Captain the perils and adventures of
the deep, and on his retirement from the
sea it was taken by him to Nashville,
Tenn, where he made his home, and
where he died in 1886.
The Captain was most pronounced
"Union Man." and his outspoken fond
ness for the flag made him widely known
as "Old Glory Driver" When the Civil
War broke out every Confederate in town
felt special call to get hold of that par
ticular flag. The Captains home and
grounds were repeatedly searched in vain.
They knew it was there but find it they
could not. The old Captain told them
theyshould see it when it again Aoated
over the city. In order to keep it safe
until that longed for time, the Captain
with his own hands quilted "Old Glory
into comforter, and made it his bed
fellow. On February IS, 1862, the Federal
troops took possession of Nashville, and
true to his promise Captain Driver took
the flag to the Capitol and it was soon
waving over the city. As he saw it once
more in the air, the old man exclaimed,
"Now that Old Glory is up there, gentle
men, am ready to die" In his happiness
the Captain gave another flag, which he
had secreted in the same way, to the
Sixth Ohio Regiment with the hope that
they would raise it over every cotton state
capitol. In 1882 the Captain gave his
beloved flag to his niece, Mrs. Cooke, with
directions for her to do with it as she
thought best after his death. She after
ward presented it to its present care
takers the Essex Institute of Salem, Mass.
So after all its voyages and vicissitudes
the original "Old Glory is today safe in
the very harbor from which it first sailed
away eighty-two years ago.-Setected.

pie of the United States. The last CEN
sus showed a population of about 90,-
100000. The present count is expected to
show some 100000. Twenty-four
questions will be asked of or about every
resident in the United States. To take
the census in the country will require, it
is expected, the full 80 days, but IS days
will finish the work in the large cities.
The cost of the census is estimated at
$23,000,000.

A Prayer for a Little Home

God send US a little home,
To come back to, when we roam.
Low walls, and Auted tiles,
Wide windows, a view for miles.
Red freight and deep chairs,
Small white beds upstairs
Great talk in little hooks,
Dim colors, rows of books.
One picture on each wall,
Not many things at all.
God send US a little ground,
Tall trees standing round.
Homely flowers in brown sod,
Overhead, Thy stars, o God.
God bless, when winds blow,
Our home, and all we know.

Paper Printed in Shorthand

Years ago a priest laboring among the
Indians of western Canada adapted a
shorthand system to the native language.
Hundreds of Indians studied and mastered
it and parts of the Bible became trans
lated into the sign language. Finally
mimeograph bulletins in shorthand came
to be issued daily which were read so
eagerly that a shorthand weekly paper
was begun in Kamloops which now
boasts of circulation of over $500. The
paper is called the "Kamloops Wawa."

And hear the whisper of her own heart

All that serve to tell.

A laugh is just like music,
1t freshens all the day,
1t tips the peeks of life with light,
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears it,
And feels its courage strong
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along.
A laugh is just like music,
It fingers in the heart
And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart;
And happy thoughts come crowding
Its joyful notes to greet
A laugh is just like music
For making the life sweet.
