CONFEDERATE FLAGS. The Stars and Bars and Then the Red Battlcflag. The first Confederate flag was the stars and bars, a blue field and three stripes, one white and two red. and on the blue field seven white stars in a circle, a star for each state that up to that time had seceded In battle, however, it was seen that this banner bore altogether too close a resemblance to the stars ami stripes, and thus there came Into use the Confederate battleflag, the origin <>f which seems to have been as follows: This is the statement of General William I. Cabell: "When the Confederate army commanded by General Beauregard and the Federal army confronted each other at Manassas, It was seen that the Confederate (lag and the stars and stripes looked at a distance so much alike that It was hard to distinguish one from the other General Beauregard, thinking that serious mis takes might be made in recognizing our troops, after the battle of July 18. at Blackburn Ford, ordered that a small badge should he worn on the left shoulder by our troops and, as 1 was chief quartermaster, ordered me to purchase a large amount of red flanmd and to distribute it to each regi-

ment.”

This Confederate battleflag was adopted in September, fSOl, and was designed by Generals Johnston and Beauregard. Red was Its color, with a blue St. Andrew's cross reaching from corner to corner and white stars on the cross representing the different southern states. Tho women of the soutli made these tings by hundreds out of their red and blue silk dresses Miss Constance Cary, who afterward became Mrs. Burton Harrison, the well known novelist, was one of the three southern girls who made the first three battleflags. — Magazine of American

The English Salesman's Woes. The English salesman at the glow counter of the department store was a model of industry, poiileness, skill. “You see,’’ he said to a floorwalker, "it is such a pleasure, after the life of the London shops, to work In a republic, to work where you are treated like

a man.

"In my London shop I was treated like a thief. The doormen, every time I went in or out, felt me all over with their hands. If they struck a big lump such as two handkerchiefs, on me, theii faces would lighten, and I'd have b bring Hie lump out for inspection These doormen even had the right tc make you strip. They used tho right often if they disliked you. and In em bnrrnssment you revealed to their erne eyes your torn, cheap underwear, nml so forth. "If you bought a new suit, you wen an object of suspicion, and the house detectIve shadowed you. If you took a girl to thi- theater or a music hall you'd find a house detective at your elbow, and fur a month afterward you’d b* stripped and searched every day or ”o.

Hard on the Lips. The cornet player contented himself with lemon for his oysters. "I'd love a little horseradish as well,” he said. “I'm passionately fond of horseradish. But I, in common with all horn blowers, must not touch the appetizing root. "Why not? Because horseradish somehow or other has the effect of weakening the lip muscles. I don’t know why. I only know the fact. A horn blower can’t eat horseradish aud blow his horn, aud you'll never find a horn blower eating it."

A mere toddler of i boy stood ou the bank above the railmid track. In his hand was a stone. Aiming blindly, he tossed the stone upmi the track, and it snuggled against the gleaming rail. In less than forty-eight hours that stone, tossed by a baby hand, had thrown Wall street and the money market of the country into a panic. The single track of the little western road afforded rough traveling. Not many of the travelers aboard that particular train even noticed the somewhat harder jolt when the car wheel struck the stone. But Glltiert Fairbain, smoking a “good night” cigar as he leaned alone against the railing of the observation car’s platform, felt the Jar--nnd then felt nothing more. And it was two weeks before Wall street learned that Fairbain, the one man who could have stopped the panic, had been found beside the I racks and removed to a farmhouse on the quarter section nearest the road. For ten days he had been uneonseious. and for two days or more he had been in no condition to lie left alone. There was but oue inmate of that farmhouse besides himself, and she had been too busy nursing him to make the trip to the nearest town to report that lie had been found. As soon as bis whereabouts had been discovered the lonesome little town was overrun with people Grave and learned physicians from the east were hur ril'd westward on spe. ial trains and a regiment of nurses attended them, but Fairbain waved them all away. "I don’t need you." he said irritably. "Little Mrs. Bodington pulled me through without a lot of palaver or thousand dollar doctors to help her. Leave a couple of nurses to watt on her, and the rest of you go away.” “There Is an excellent hospital not fifty miles from here," suggested the family physician. "I can look after you with better assurance of successful treatment.” “Sttgden, you're an ass,” di'clared Fairbain Irritably. "This little woman nursed me single handed through an attack of brain fever. I guess she can attend to tho convalescence." "I will not undertake to no responsible for the consequences,” said Sugden. with ponderous emphasis. “You don’t have to be.” was the acrid response “Y( u are going to be packed out of here, the whole lot of you I’ve spent most of my life with a doctor on one side of me and a lawyer on the other I’m sick of It all. and I’m entitled to a rest." He looked contentedly about the tiny room. The outlook from the narrow patted windows was dreary, and the room Itself was walled with rough plaster and decorated with cheap prints In homemade frames. The bed on which he rested was a wooden affair with a cotton mattress and coarse cotton sheets, but the sheets were Immaculately clean, and lhero was an air of hominoss about the place that Fairbain had not known In years. He closed bis eyes contentedly aud dozed off. Sugden, mindful of his fat fees, waited in deferential silence during the half hour the nap lasted. Fairbain’s glance fell first on him as his eyes opened again. "You still here!” he cried. “Sugden, if you don’t take tho first train back to New York I’ll make you sue for whatever 1 owe you and I’ll take it on appeal and appeal until you spend every rent you ever made off of me. Now get out of here.” Sugdeu took his departure, vowing that his patient was Insane, hut Fairbain only smiled contentedly and turned to the sweet faced woman who sat beside the bed. “That’s the way to talk to those sharks." he declared. “I have a headaehe. and Sugden gives me something to make it worse. Then he doctors me for the new ‘disease’ and sends In a bill a yard long. This is the time I fooled him." “I am glad that you were not moved,” said the woman softly. “I think that the excitement would have been bad for you.” "It is not the trip I was dreading,” admitted Fairbain frankly. "I like it here, ami I want to stay a little while. My secretary will stay over In town and bring my important mall every day. and the two nurses will relieve you of the watchful nights. "If you want anything else, buy it or hire It or something. Wilson will give you what money 1 need. Wilson Is a fine fellow,” he added. "He came Into my office this fall as a clerk, and 1 look a fancy to him and made him my confidential man. He took to the Job as though ho had known me and my affairs since he was born.” "it must be very nice to have some one to do your work the way you want it done,” she said softly. “I am glad that you are so pleased with him.” "I’m pleased with him,” said Fairbain meaningly, “so long ns you tire not too well pleased with him. You won’t be pleased with him?” lie pleaded. "No more than 1 am now," she promised, and with that Fairbain was content. He was convinced that money was omnipotent and that even here on the prairie it could purchase the love • f the little woman who had made him so comfortable. Fairbain was in love* with his newly found home comforts rather than with the woman herself, but this he did not know, although, when there was uo

longer any pretext for prolonging the stay, he spoke bravely enough. "I need you very much.” he said earnestly. "I have a house that covers half "a square in tho most expensive residential district In New York. I have three yachts, something like a dozen automobiles aud all that sort of thing, but I have no home. Not since I was a boy have I realized what home was like. My wife was no homemaker, aud when she died I never dared repeat the experiment with the women in the set I lived in. You are different. For years I have been hungry Don’t you think that you can come and make it for me?" The little woman paused for a moment and scanned the face of the multimillionaire ns earnestly as though she had not devoted weeks In that pursuit. There was uo ardent affection in tone or look. Fairbain discussed the matter with as much feeling as though he was discussing the making of some railroad deal with his fellow magnates. He was not the young lover, but the elderly widower in need of a homemaker. The girl she was little more than that—nodded her head in an affirmative. “i’ll make the home for you, but not as your wife. I am not a widow, you see!” "I am married,” continued the girl hurriedly. "I married when I was ou the stage. I married a boy who never had had a home, and I made one for him—out here where nothing matters. He was home hungry. I knew that I would spoil all his chances If I married him. I also knew that he would spoil his own chances if I didn’t, so I married him. "After our boy was born—that was the second year we were here—he went back oast and took a name that was neither his nor mine to show his father that he was able to work for the woman he loved. I am murried to your son, Mr. Fairbain. I guess you've forgotten that Gregory married Martha Bodington. From what Gregory told me, you called me everything but ray right name at that last interview.” "Perhaps 1 did.” was the shamefaced reply. "I guess I did not know what I was saying, ami I’m certain that I didn't know the sort of a girl I was talking about.” "We'll forget that now," offered Martha. "Let the past be forgotten for the sake of the boy." "But Gregory?” asked Fairbain. “There.” Martha pointed out over the prairie, where the secretary was to be seen riding across the section with the mall. "And Wilson Is Gregory? Yo'.i mean to say 1 didn't know my own boy when I hired him?” asked Fairbain, with a chuckle. “To think that all the time he has been here I've been fretting because I feared that you might learn to love him. And all that time you were married to him. I'm rather glad, my dear, that I made my second marriage by proxy, so long as you will make a home for Greg and the boy aud me.” "I was so afraid that you would recognize Greg.” said Martha as she regarded tho tall figure of the secretary with a look of frank admiration. "He assumed an excellent disguise,” reminded Fairbain. "I never thought to find ray son a worker, my dear. That’s another thing I have to thank you for,” and Fairbain sighed with relief. He had found a home while retaining his domestic Independence, and the son for whom hfs heart cried out was restored to him again.

Changes In Boston, In 1036 one of the suburbs of Boston was Xewe Towne, which in 1638 was changed to Cambridge and as the seat of Harvard university has an international reputation today. Since the early lines were fixed Cambridge obtained by annexation a part of Charlestown, but has ceded land to the towns of Waltham, Brighton, Watertown, Belmont and West Cambridge, the latter now known as Arlington. The Boston of 1630, called Trl-Moun-taln, was very different from the Bos ton of today. Its area was not exten slve, although it Included the larger portion of Quincy, out of which the town of Braintree was made at a later period. The first annexations to Boston were Noddles island (East Boston! and the territory now covered by Chel-

sea.

in 1040 Boston lost its rights in Quincy, which were acquired by the town of Braintree. Subsequent additions to Boston have been Roxbury, Dorches-

Value of the Architect. The members of a country club, the building and decoration of whose club house had been placed entirely In the hands of the architect, even to the minutest furnishings, found themselves In need of new window shades and a few other small household necessities Instead of buying the things themselves, they sent for the arehltect to come out and look things over and order appropriate fittings. “That Is not at all an unusual case,” said the architect. "I can show you houses that I planned more than twen-ty-five years ago that have never been furnished with so much ns a new ehnlr without my being consulted first. Having deferred entirely to my judg ment In the first place, those confiding patrons are afraid to trust their own taste In tho smallest matter, and they will probably continue to nsk my nd vh e In every little detail of decoration as long as they occupy the house New York Globe.

The Whigs. in United States history “Whig" denotes those who In colonial times opposed British rule. It is also the name adopted in 1834 by the survivors of the old National Republican party after its defeat by Jackson in 1832. In the opinion of these survivors Jackson was a worse tyrant than George 111. had been, and in their revolt against him they took the old name Whig. The party after gaining several notable victories made way in isr>4 for the present Republican party. Whig is a shortened form of “Whiggamor,” a nickname of the peasantry of the western lowlands of Scotland, derived from “whiggnm," a sound used by them in driving their horses.-New York American.
