Birthday of Old Glory
A )
Tha resolution for tha adoption of tho Amarican I lag was passed
by congraaa, Jua 14, 1777.
Tha ship "Columbia" (1787-1790) waa tha firat vessel to carry
tha Amarican flag around tha world.
Tha firat official celabration of Flag day waa hald in tha post
offica department at Washington in 1908.
Sinca 1866 all flags used by tha government have been
Araarican-mada. Previous to that lima tha flags wara mada of
English bunting.
Tha first American flag displayed in a British port was on tha
hip "Bedford" of Massachusetts, which arrived in the Downs, Feb
ruary 3, 1783.
Tha first Amarican flag was made by patriotic ladies in Phila
delphia. It waa a small affair, but represented a heavy cost, because
the bunting came from England, and in the days of '77 things British
came high.
Flag day waa originated in 1889 by Professor George Bolch of
New York, who introduced into his kindergarten the practice of hold
ing special exercises in celebration of the adoption of tha American
flag by congress, June 14, 1777.
Each battleship of the United Statea navy is entitled to 250 flaga
. every three years, though many are renewed ofter.tr than this. The
coal of the flags for each ship exceeds $3,000 no small item in
Uncle Sam's bill for .equipments. -
Tha thirty-by-forty-foot flag which was hoisted over Fort Mc
Henry and inspired Francis Scott Kay to write "The Star Spangled
Banner" was made by Mrs. John Pickersgill of Baltimore whan tha
British were about to begin thair attack on that city.
The Fifth street grammar school of New Bedford, Mass., claims
to have been the first school in the country to raise the United States
flag and to make the use of it a permanent feature of public school
administration. Thia school unfurled the flag with appropriate
public exercises on May 11, 1861, only 27 days after the surrender
of Fort Sumter to tho Confederates. .
The firat American flag was flown by John Paul Jones. By
error this flag had but 12 stars, but the man whom the British dubbed
"pirate, rebel, robber," proudly informed congress that the emblem
at the peak of hi warship, the "Ranger," waa received with the most
marked courtesies by the French, whose formal recognition of the
new flag constituted the French acknowledgment of the new republic.
It was not until September 3, 1777, that the action of congress
in adopting tha Amarican flag waa made public through the press,
though word of the new law had reached the American troops at Fort
Schuyler and a drummer boy had made a flag after the prescribed
'pattern. For the white he took two old ammunition shirts, for tha
bue he used an old army coat, and for tha red he requisitioned on
the wife of a private for har one red flannel petticoat.

The Manicure Lady
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
"I found a cent in the subway this
morning,'" said the Manicure Lady,
"and I guess I'm going to be lucky
this summer."
"I hope so," said the Head Barber.
"I wish you had round a hundred-case
note."
"That's awful sweet of you,
George," said the Manicure Lady,
"and that's one of the finest reasons
for loving life, to know that your
friends don't wish no bad luck on
you. Goodness knows, George, it's
a good thing they don't, with all the
bad luck lying around so close to
us we. have hard work dodging it.
I'm going to keep that cent for a
lucky piece."
"I done that for a week once w'th
a cent." said the Head Barber, "and
everything broke wrong the whole
week. My. wife got neuralgia that
week, and I twisted my ankle, and a
lot of other things seemed to come
off all at once. I fired the cent in
the Hudson, and I guess it's there
yet."
VI think it s smtul to throw money
in 'a river," said the Manicure Lady.
"Thank goodness, I don't know how
to throw. But, anyhow, George,
speaking about luck, maybe, after all,
life is just what you make it. Life is
real and the grave ain t its goal.
"As them old poets used to say,
Why should the spirits of mortals
be loud? We ought to. do something
every day to make other folks happy.
Sometimes I feel so happy that I
wish somebody else could have part
of that happiness. Maybe that's why
I keep all the time talking."
"Maybe," said the Head Barber.
"There must be some reason. I wish
I had a dollar for every word you
ever spieled in this grand old barber
shop."
"But it ain't done you no real good,
all mv talk." said the Manicure Lady.
"You get no new ideas, George. Shav
ing gents and betting on horses and
talking base ball that's you today,
tomorrow and all the time."
"There's worse things to be think
ing about," said the Head Barber. "I
always liked them outdoor sports."
"Outdoor sports is all right," said
the Manicure Lady, "which is more
than I can say for some of the indoor
snorts that makes bets on them. But
anvhow. SDeakins; about that cent I
found, I ought to draw a little good
luck if I don t lose it. There is a gent
going to call on me up home tonight,
and they say he comes from a awful
fine familv.
rle has been kind ot ninting aDout
marrying and settling down, and any
thing he has got to y on that sub
ject will be listened to by me very
attentive like. Believe me, George, I
won't interrupt him."
"I'd like to see you marry
happy," said the Head Barber, "but it
would be awful lonesome around here
wtihout you. I wouldn't have nobody
except my customers to talk to. I'd
be lonesome."
"That would be tough, George,"
said the Ll -'-'ire Lady, "but I
won't be think. s.bout that if I get
a chance to listen to a proposal. I'll
be thinking about the quickest way to
say yes."
"Marriage is a lottery," said the
Head Barber. "You take a chance."
"When the chance comes, you do,"
said the Manicure Lady, "and when
my chance comes, George, I shall be
brave."
Miller Park, school and have con
ceived such a high esteem for their
teachers that as a token of their re
spect they intend to present the silver
loving cup, which is now in their pos
session as base ball champions among
the grade school boys of the city, to
the one who is leaving, Miss Hunt'.
Mothers of the boys decorated
the tables in the school colors, green
and gold, a center piece of the prize
silver-mounted bats and used base
ball favors.
