The troops that wave the Stars and Stripes aloft have In the past and present been led on by the counterfeit presentment of an eagle with out spread wings. Seldom do those en gaged In war or mere onlookers ever give a thought to what appears to be on consideration an odd and relatively meaningless custom that almost verges on fetish worship. To be sure, one nation uses the painted or em broidered effigy of an elephant on ltl banners, another a dragon, and so on, but these nations are hardly civilized In the highest sense. Investigation of encyclopedic infor mation discloses no good reasons why America, Germany and Russia should place a bird on their national em blems. Some weeks ago the Carlisle Indian school, following the footsteps of the American Society of Indians, adopted as the school emblem a thunder bird. The thunder bird was designed for the school by Angel De Cora Deitz, the greatest authority in the world ca Indian art.

Summer's End Confession That Die solved Clouds Threatening Harold and Muriel. "Harold," she whispered, "the tlm has come when I must confess thf truth to you." From the beach before them camt the flap-flapping of the restless sea. It is an odd thing how people will flock in thousands every year to tht restless sea in search of rest But let that pass. 'Muriel," he answered her, "I, too have a confession to make. But you make yours first You are an helresi and have the right of way over a guj like me." In the Bouth the summer moon lav ished his silver on the beach, being half full. Half seas over, you might say. 'No, Harold," she breathed, "It It not for a girl like I like me, I mean to take precedence over a millionaire'j son like you. Speak first, Harold." "Very well, I will," said he. I will be brutally frank. Muriel, I am nol the millionaire's son you think me." "What millionaire's son are you, then?" Land Poor. This Is a good time to recall the Btory of the German who emigrated to this country many years ago, bougtit 20 acres of land and settled on it. He had a large family and one of his new neighbors asked if he thought he could make a living on 20 acres. "I don't know," was his reply, "but if I can't I can sell 10 acres and live on the other 10. I made a good living and money besides on 10 acres of land in the old country, and I can do It here." Tradition says he made a living on his 20 acres, but that he got along much better after his children grew up and took part of his land off his hands. Most farmers cultivate too much land. Rather, they pretend to culti vate it. They have so much that they can't half cultivate It. They know nothing about Intensive farming, its economy and Its immense profit and the great pleasure there is in it. Most farmers could prosper on one-fourth the land they now try to cultivate. They are land poor, and that is about the most distressing form of poverty that we know of. Anderson (S. C.) Mall. Mixed Medicine. BUI Now they Bay sand Is good for dyspepsia.

War is a man's game, but there have been Amazons. In all wars the wives and mothers of the warriors have ac quired masculine austerity. The Spar tan mothers told their sons to bring back their Bhlelds from the war or be brought back upon them, and corre spondents in Germany have reported that the German women witnessed the departure of those dearest to thom for the front with tearless eyes and grim determination, not desiring even to see them back unless they returned victors. There is the story of the arls tocratlc French mother whose three sons were killed in battle not long ago. A messenger came to bring her the news, and faltered badly in telling the sad story. But the mother did not break down. A look of rapture is said to have lit her face as she said: "My sons all died for France. , I am satis fied." Rochester (N. Y.) Herald.

Among the Indians the thunder bird stands for authority, dignity, arbitra tion and, most important of all, peace. There are many who believe that the emblem of a bird with widespread wings has been appropriated by the Europeans from ancient America. If so, it is an unfortunate perversion that makes the symbol of arbitration and peace the banner which leads to war and devastation. America's Oldest Paper. The Hartford (Conn.)

The reason Is that the distance which a bullet travels Is divided Into three parts, the first distance the bul let travels in a wabbly manner, either up and down or sidewise; the middle distance It "sleeps," or moves on an exact plane, and the third distance, being partly spent. It wobbles in a serpentine movement again.

According to a bulletin Issued by th Industrial commission of Wisconsin the danger of objects striking work men constitutes the greatest hazard of present-day employment. "In lesi than two years," the bulletin contln ues, "approximately 65,000 working days were lost by wage earners of Wis consin due to this cause alone. It addition, 86 men were killed and lO'i were permanently disabled. The cosi of these accidents to employers, undei the present compensation law, would amount to over $400,000.
