This is a triumph for our knitting mill as the contract was a warded after many bids had been ex amined. The ‘sox’’ will be kakhi color and of good quality to stand the wear and tear of marching. Mr. Daniell informs us that 231,581 nairs is the amount of the order and he will have a period of six months in which to deliver them. The mi.l has a capacity of 14,000 pairs a dayv but it will continue to knit its pop ular ‘“Radium’ brand and devote only a part of its machinery to tne soldiers’ sox, and a car load of ‘“Ra diums’ was sent to California a few days ago. The only thing worrying the mill is the fact that its dyes have been coming from Germany but we can all wear white sox if necessary. They are the best kind any how. HOWARD WOOD DROFS DEAD IN MARIETTA While waiting in the publie square at Marietta Friday at noon for an electric car to Atlanta, Howard Wood, 50 years old, a resident of 'Holly Springs, Ga., dropped dead of heart failure.

DRAWING IN OUR CITY SCHOOLS Our Board of Education alert al ways, so far as its means will allow, to keep our city schools abreast of the best systems in other places, at a recent meoting determined to in troduce sigut-singing in the elemen tary gradcs, Miss Ruth MecMillan, of Atlanta, has been elected supervisor of mu sic. She will pay weekly visits to Marietta and give lessons both in the class rooms to the childeen and to tie trachers after school. Of course it will take time for children to learn to sing by note and too much should not be expected the first year. Systematie training aiong this line however, ought in a few yeass to result in our grammar scaool graduates being able to sing by note any popular music, thus ad ding much to the pleasures of social and religious life. Th 2 Edmondson muscular system of penmanship has also been intro duced. It is more practical and business-like, slants more and can be written more rapidly. It will not be more copy book work, but the teachers will be required to teach It M. Edmondson, the author of tha system, will spend several days at the beginning of the term in in structing both teachers and pupils in this method. Prang’s Graphic Drawing has also been introduced. The books are su perior to the ones they displace and at the same time cheaper. Scythe Was a F'xture, Three years ago last summer old Bill Shiftless got an indusirious streak on and concluded he would cut some weeds in his back yard. He went to a neighoor's house and borrowed a scythe. When Bill got it back home bne was all fagged out and hung the scythe cver the limb of a peach tree and told his wife he would wait until morning ‘o mow the weeds. [ passed by Bill's house yesterday and the seythe was still hanging over the same limb.—Kansas Citv Star. Lucky He Was There. A teacher in a certain town (we con siderately decline to be more specific) had a great deal of trouble to make a boy in his class uuderstand a point in his lesson. Finally, however, he suc ceeded, and, drawing a long breath, remarked: “If it wasn't for me you would be the greatest donkey in this town.” i Provident, Pa. ' My.

Harp, Deemed by Most People as Typ ically Irish, Was Really Imposed Upon the Country by an English King. What flag shall Ireland fly? This is a question that is again being dis cussed, writes a London correspond ent of the New York Sun. Probably no country has had more national flags than Ireland, so that of old-time flags range of choice is by no means restricted. The most ancient, without doubt, is the “Spear and Ser pent,” said to commemorate the cur ing by Moses of an ancestor of Mile sius who had been bitten by a snake. Then there is the golden sunburst upon a blue ground, emblem of Fionn MacCumhall’s Fenian (militia). Blue was . always Ireland’'s national color until 1798, when the United Irishmen, to signify the blending of north and south evolved a national color of the blue formed by the amalgamation of blue and orange—namely, green. Another flag is that which Crom well’'s soldiers are reputed to have seen when fighting the Kernes, a red cross upon a golden ground. Opinions as to whether such was ever a na tional emblem or not are divided, many people believing it to have been the arms of an insurgent commander. The three golden crowns upon a blue ground is another emblem which has not been overlooked. The design appears today in the arms of Mun ster, and the three crowns are said to typify the triple kingdoms of Dres mond, Thomond and Ormond. Any way, this flag was the emblem of Ire land from 1170 to 1547, when Henry VIII of England substituted the harp for the three crowns, the reason be ing that Henry was anxious that the three crowns should not be confused with the triple tiara of the popse, with whom, at this juncture, Henry was not on the best of terms. Thus it comes about that the harp, which is deemed as typically Irish, was imposed upon Ireland by an Eng lish king; but had not the United Irishmen, although they decrowned the harp in 1798, adopted it as their emblem, and Grattan's parliament recognized the harp, although they did not like the green ground, it is hardly likely that the average Irish man today would regard it as other than an upstart burgee. Still another national device to be counsdidered is the *“Lamh TLearg Eirinn,” the Red Rand of Ireland, which, upcn a white ground, was borne by Shane and Hugh O’'Neill's armies that defeated Queen Eliza beth's geflerals. The early hours of the nineteenth century saw Ireland inflicted with the St. Patrick’'s Cross, a red satire upon a white ground. What St. Patrick had to do with it nobody can say, but some emblem or the other had got to be incorporated in the Dritish flag upon the passing of the-act of un'on, aind so the heralds did the rest. Wherever they got thea red satire from it 18 pot kioown, Dbut. tihere 18 reason to believe that it was bor rowed frem the arms of Trinity col lege, Dublin, which had in turn bor rowed it from the Fitzgerald family. In all probability Ireland will adopt the sunburst upon a blue ground, the chief reason being its an tiquity, its distinctly Irish origin, and its symbolism of Ireland rising to take her proper place among the na tions. But come what may, the ground of the new flag is going to be blue. The Sinn Peiners are resolved upcn that, and that the flag’s material shall not be silk or cotton, but good Irish linen. Whimsical Prisoner. A priscner's remarkable fow of words caused great amusermeat at Dublin sessions recently. a laborer was charged with stealing a pair of boots. "By what stretch of imagination or by what inane processes of reasoning can you assume that I stole the boots?” he asked. Addressing the court later, he said: “I have always testified with the utmost ardor and fervor of my soul my high admiration for the courage, discipline, and exalted integrity and inspiring honesty of the Dublin po lice. 1 had some pious and artistic pictures when arrested, and offered them to the police-sergeant for his adification. T would serve 40,000 yoars in jail rather than Xnuckla down to the whimsical and fantastic charge.” Smart Reply. The captain of a certain troopship conveying a British cavalry regiment to the cape was noted for his wit, and at every opportunity that offered he loosed his shafts of humor, to the chagrin and embarrasgment of their targets. Sooner or later the stinger gets stung, however, and this chronic pun-artist was no exception to the rule, On one occasion, when about two days out from port, he approsched a group of soldiers who were swab bing the forward deck, and, singling out a big, raw-honed Irish recruit who vas experiencing his first taste of o '!l\l’.\ 3.10’ ha Tay : "r".(l"l'" “Can you steer tl nainmast down the forecastle stairg?” NEAT SCHEME OF REVENGE Theater Usher Certainly Got Glori. ously Even With Man Against Whom He Had a Grudge. For reasons of his own the theater usher disliked the man. He was stor ing up some grudge, real or fancied, and he resolved to get even. He puz zled his head to invent some novel and effective method of avenging him self, but decided on none until he saw the man enter the theater one night with a pretty young lady. He hurried forward, took the checks, and said, “This way, please,” and conducted them to the best two seats in the house. Then he went to the rear of the auditorium and chuckled to him self while the pretty voung lady was whispering, “These are splendid seats, Mr. Jenkins.” “Aren’t they?’ Mr. Jenkins re turned. “I told the man in the box office to give me the best he could, and he knew the ones I like.” It was three or four minutes later that the usher came down and said: “l.et me see your checks, please.” They were produced. ‘“‘Seven rows back, in the center of this section,” said the usher severely. “But these are the ones that were given to me,” said the man. “Who gave them to you?” asked the usher, in the same chilly way. “Why, an usher. I didn’t notice—" “Of course not,” said the usher, “but this gentleman has checks for these seats.” The pretty girl said: ‘‘Oh, dear!” and began to gather up her wraps. Her escort sald nothing, but he was very red in the face as they moved back several rows and heard one or two men say: “What nerve that man had. Funny how people will try to take seats they are not entitled to.” The usher heard, too, and felt doubly avenged. BOOKS BEST OF ALL FRIENDS Poetically Expressed Tribute That Will Find Echo in the Hearts of Lovers of Reading. I have friends whose society is ex tremely agreeable to me; they are of all ages and of every country. They bave distinguished themselves both in the cabinet and in the field, and ob tained high honors for their knowl edge of the sciences. It is easy to gain access to them, for they are al ways at my service, and I admit them in my company and dismiss them from it, whenever I please. They are never troublesome but immedi aiely answer every question I ask them. Some relate to me the events of past ages, while others reveal to me the secrets of nature. Some teach me bow to live. . . . Some, by their vivacity, drive away my cares and exhilarate my spirits; while others give fortitude to my mind, and teach me the important lesson how to re strain my desires. . . . They open to me, in short, the various avenues of ail the arts and sciences and upon their intormation I may safely rely in all emergencies. In return for all their services they only ask me to accommodate them with a convenient cbamber in some corner of my hum ble habitation, where they may re pose in peuce, for these friends are more delighted by the tranquillity of retirement than with the tumults of society.—Petrarch. Music of the Chinese. Chineze music does not entirely lack admirers among occidentals. There are, it anpears, trained musicians of our own kind who seriously profess uncertainty whether the Chinese have not really advanced beyond us in mu sic. One authority has pointed out that the Chinese were the first in the his tory of music to develop a system of octaves, a circle of fifths and various other hormonical technics, and these in the days when our ancestors had not even evolved the simplest forms of melody. While no one has, appar ently, contended that we shall finally arrive at an understanding of and a liking for something that shall ap proach the Chinese “harmonious dis cords,” there are not wanting those who claimn to have discovered among the musicians and lovers of music a steadily increasing sensitiveness to harmonies the existence of which was formerly unknown, “Behind the Vell.” “Being dead i 8 not as black as it (8 painted. Thers are as many good looking girls in the realm of the dead as the living. There are quite as many delightful people.” This statement, according to Henry Hotchner, theoso phist, comes from the ‘“bourne from which no traveler returns.” It was made, through the psychic medium of a youth of nineteen who died redently. The lad told of seeking the gide of his mother and sisters. Chief earthly congregating places of the spirits of the dead in great numbers are about organs in churches and in meetings, where men are trying ‘‘to pierce the veil which separates them irom the other world.” So the medium sayvs. Running No Risk.
