one, in joyful anticipation of her 
favorite candies, ‘‘then I'll have 
lots of gumdrops, won’t I?’’—Chris-

‘‘Mamma,’’ said little Bessie, who 
was just. learning to make figures, 
‘‘can ‘you make thirteen?’’ ‘‘Cer- 
tainly, my dear,’’ answered the 
mother. ‘‘Then I wish you’d show 
me how,’’ continued the little stu- 
dent. “I ean make the ‘‘thirt’ all 
right, but I can’t make the ‘teen.’ ”’

Flag Day Exercises Under Auspices 
of Manchester WRC. 
The seating capacity of the Town 
hall was taxed to the utmost Thurs- 
day evening to accommodate those 
who attended the Flag Day exer- 
cises of the WRC. Mrs. Alfred Her- 
sey as patriotic instructor deserves 
much of the credit for the success 
of the occasion. Mrs. Lue Stuart 
Wadsworth, the past national pa- 
triotie instructor of the Relief Corps, 
eave the address of the evening. 
Mrs. Wadsworth is well known in 
her connection with patriotic work 
and her words were very well re- 
ceived. She spoke, in part of the 
respect every man, woman and child 
in the United States owes to the 
flag. From the origin of Old Glory 
and from the terrible cost in 1861 
of keeping it ‘‘the flag of the free’’ 
she impressed her audience with the 
true nobility of our flag. Miss Elsie 
Jordan of Salem, gave a number of 
readings which received lively ap- 
plause. Francis M. Stanwood, 
whose name is so well-known in 
Manchester, was Chairman of 
Judges and in a _ most pleasing 
manner he spoke of the grievous 
difficulties which beset the paths of 
judges. Then, in a graver way, he 
gave a few remarks on Education. 
The school children who received 
prizes for essays were: Violet Reid, 
‘History of Our Flag’’; Ruth Spry, 
‘General Grant.’’ Two essays on 
‘‘Patriotism’’ were so nearly equal 
in merit that it was impossible to 
make any selection between them so 
Katherine Slade and Ethel Edge- 
comb, both of the High school, re- 
ceived awards for essays on ‘‘Pa- 
triotism.’’ Owing to the lateness of 
the hour the reading of these two 
essays was omitted. The program 
was brought to a close by the salute 
to the flag and America by Post 67 
and audience. 
An Englishman, new to American 
travel, was travelling through New 
Jersey. Approaching a city, he 
turned to the lady across the aisle, 
and asked hurriedly, ‘‘Is this Eliza- 
beth?’’ Drawing herself up, she re- 
plied sternly, ‘‘ What do you mean ?’’ 
He repeated his question; and she 
cried out, ‘‘Sir, you are no gentle- 
man.’’ Just then the brakeman. 
shouted  ‘‘Elizabeth,’’ and he 
stranger left the car.—Exchange. 
When Sir John Carr was in Glas- 
gow in 1807, he was asked by the 
magistrates what inseription he re- 
commended for the Nelson statue, 
then just erected. Sir John recom- 
mended a short one: ‘‘Glasgow to 
Nelson.’’ ‘‘Juist so,’’ said one of the 
bailies; ‘‘and, as the town o’ Nel- 
son’s clost at hand, might we not 
juist say, ‘Glasgow to Nelson, sax 
miles,’ an’ so it might serve for a 
monument an’ a milestone, too?’’— 
San Francisco Argonaut. 
An English clergyman, given to 
object-lessons, held up a fresh, green 
walnut in his hand, and compared 
it to the various denominations in 
the town. ‘‘My friends,’’ he said, 
‘this rind, which I now remove, is 
soft, useless and unprofitable. It is 
like the Chureh. The shell is 
hard and strong, but there is no 
nourishment in it. This is like the 
Church. At last we come to the 
kernel, which, like our own Church, 
is .’’ He broke the shell and took 
out the kernal. It was rotten.
