There's a black Stars and Stripes flag floating; oft the "United States Custom House, and the boys oC the neighborhood know it as the pirate flag, because of its Cimmerian color. And all because j chimney is built near the flagstaff, cans ing the" smoke'from the furnaces to spread itself over Old Glory. An old Indian War veteran -was passing Seventh and Davis streets vesterdav. and he Joined three other Tiatrlota who were sorrowfully fc inir at the blackened flag. "Ion know the old story, you fellows, about the boot maker generally being the man whose boots are the worst looking along the street," said he. "Well, I guess it's the same way sometimes with United States Government officials. There's a splendid looking Federal building before you, but Instead of the flag being a clean, gooa looking one, with plenty of bright cblor in It, why It's " Indignation choked the veteran's further utterance. The Darty atrreed that a new flag would be about the proper thing, and that neither the location of the chimney or flagstaff shoud be changed. Having thus settled matters to their entire satisfaction, the flag critics -walked their separate ways under dripping umbrellas. Wants Oreoonian Literature.
