AKhoagh the resolution by which
th flag became n national standard
was not otsclally promulgated by the
secretary of congress until Sept 3,
1777. it aeema well authenticated that
th ragttlatkm stars and stripes was
carried at th battle of Braadywlne.
fonght Spt 11. 1777. This shows that
th contract entered Into by Betsy
Roe must have been carried out with
great expedition, and that the flags
had been distributed among the line
regiments of the levotattoaary army
early in September. The flag flrst dis
played hi battle at Brandywice Creek
had thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white, and as a union thirteen white
stars wero displayed on a blue field.
The flag 'Which vas carried by the
men In blue and bug during the bat
tles of the revolution remained un
changed until the flrst day of May,
1795, when, by a previous act of con
cress, two additional stripes were
added to the body of the standard and
two star to the union. These addi
tions were made to represent the
states of Vermont and Kentucky,
which had just been admitted to the
federal union. As no further change
was man in the national flag until
1818, it follows that the regimental
colors carried during the war of 1812
wer of this design. Thus the Amer
ican flags surrendered by General
Hull at Detroit, and those captured
b the British at Bladensburg and
Washington must all have displayed
fifteen alternate red and white stripes,
as well as the fifteen stars in the
union.
In 1818, by an act of congress, the
stripes of the national flag were again
reduced to thirteen, and it was de
clared that the addition of a star to
th union shc:Ud thence-forward repre
sent each now state. A- newspaper
of the time, still kept in the govern'
ment archives, said: "By this regu
lation the thirteen stripes will repre
sent the number of states whose valor
and resources originally effected
American independence, and addition
al stars will mark the increase of
the states since the present constitution.-
From this time on the increase
of stars hi the constellation which
formed the union was steady, and dur
ing the war with Mexico, in 1846,
twenty-nine white stars were dis
played in the blue field.
The flags borne oy the regiments of
the northern army during, the four
years of the great civil war had thirty-five
stars in the union. This was
tfie full number of states then form
ing the national federation, as the
United States government had re
fused to recognize the constitutional
right of a state to secede from the
union. The retention of the stars
representing the southern states was
regarded ts a serious breach of mil
itary etiquette by the more punctilious
of the confederate leaders, and the
capture of one of the federal stand
ards was always well rewarded by the
authorities ac Richmond.
The regimental flags carried by the
regular and volunteer regiments dur
ing the Spanish war of 1898 displayed
forty-five stars hi the blue field of the
union, ten new states having been
added to the federation since the
great civil struggle which so nearly
severed :-be republic. This was also
the uVst foreign war In which the
state troops of the reualted country
appeared in the field together, and it
was the first occasion on which for
mer confederate officers of high rank
resumed the uniform of the United
States service. The great garrison
flag which was hoisted over Santiago
after the surrender of the city by the
Spanish commandant measured twen
ty feet in width by thirty-six feet in
length, the forty-five white stars
which formed the union showing dis
tinctly against the bright blue of the
field.

CHANGE FOR A QUARTER.
REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
A girl can be fooled by almost any
man that she wants to fool her.
When a girl Is Interested in a mar
ried ..woman It is a sign they are in
terested In a man.
When a man's suit Is favored by a
girl's mother It la a sign be Isn't get
ting aloag so well with the girl.
It's mighty queer how a girl will
carry on vim a muter is flying
around the gas Jet and sit perfectly
still while a mosquito Is chewing
down the middle of her back.
There Is hardly ,anythlag that can
make a woman prouder of her hus
band than to have him repair the
mowlBg machine himself to save
tweaty-flve cents, and break some
thug la It that costs 2 to replace.

"How much money does It take to
make change for a quarter?" queried
the man whose fad Is freak mathe
matics. "Twenty-five cents, eh?
You're away out. To change a quar
ter in the various ways it can be
done requires a capital of 70 cents.
If a fellow wanted plenty of coin for
his quarter he'd tax you for twenty
Ave pennies. On the other hand, the
man who wanted the least loose
change for his quarter would come at
you for two dimes and a nickel. The
chap who wanted a diversity of coin
hi his change would get Into you tor
two 5 cent pieces, one dime, and five
pennies, which would allow him to
jingle copper; silver, and nickel in
his Jeans.
"Others might ask you to produce
four nickels and five pennies, three
nickels and ten pennies, two nickels
and fifteen pennies, or one nickel and
twenty pennies. If you escaped
these demands you might be request
ed to come up with five nickels, three
nickels and one dime; oae nickel one
dime, and ten pennies; one dime and
fifteen pennies, or two dimes aad Ave
pennies. There are Just twelve ways
of "breaking' a quarter of current
United States coin, and to be there
with the goods for any demand you
require twenty-five pennies, two
dimes, and Ave nickels. In all, 70
cents.'

It was a pitiful mistake, an error
aad and grim. I waited for the rail
way train, the light was low and dim.
It came at last, and from a carriage
stepped a dainty dame, and, looking
up aad down the place, she straight
unto me came. "Oh. Jack!" she cried,
"oh, dear old Jack!" and kissed me as
ahe spake; then looked again, and,
frightened, cried: "Oh. what a bad
mistake!" I said, "Forgive me, maid
en fair, for I am not your Jack; and
aa regards the kiss you gave. I'll
that night I've often stood upon the
