CELEBRATION OF FLAG
NATIONAL ANTHEM SUNG AT
BETSY ROSS HOUSE TODAY BY
MANY SCHOOL CHILDREN
Special to the Herald
Philadelphia Pa June 14 Prob-
ably In no other city of the country is
Flag Day so generally observed as
in Philadelphia and quite naturally
for It was In this city that the flag was
given birth Congress assembled at
Independence hall 12U years ago re-
solved That the flag ot the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes al-
ternate red and white that the union
be thirteen stars white in a blue Held
representing the new constellation
At the beginning ot the Revolution-
ary war and with the formal repudia-
tion of the flag ot St George and the
Union Jack of England there was no
American flag under which the im-
pending battles were to be fought
There were conglomerate colonial
flags and here and there a private
banner of some great landed proprie-
tor but no recognized American flag
There was no little worrlment over
this fact and the Continental of Con-
federate congress set about agreeing
upon the form character and general
purport of one Congress accordingly
appointed Benjamin Franklin Thomas
liynch and Benjamin Harrison as a
committee to agree upon and formally
report a flag design
Near the close of the year 1775 they
reported in favor ot adopting the
British union jack plus 13 stripes as
the flag This report was never acted
on or at least was not adopted Wash-
ington wanted a five pointed star
added others were inclined to adopt
a modified form of the Dutch flag with
its broad Ted stripes
Finally on June 14 1777 congress
agreed upon a flag of thirteen stripes
with 13 stars on a blue field thus ap-
propriating a little here and a little
there until the star and stripe and the
colors red white and blue appeared
upon the banner and the Stars and
Stripes became tlfe insignia of the
republic Of course every one recalls
the work ot Betsy Ross who no doubt
suggested much as well as did the
sewing of the first flag
At the Betsy Ross house 239 Arch
street the national anthem was sung
today by school children and address-
es appropria e to the day made by
atlvgsOt arlouSj pafrJptio
societies The2houseJias4beenturned
over to the Federal government by
the American Flag House and Betsy
Ross Memorial Association and will
be maintained as a public memorial
and museum of colonial and revolu-
tionary relics
FROM ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC
And From Great Lakes to Gulf Sun-
rise Wat Greeted By Flag Raising
Speclal to the Herald
Washington D C June 14 From
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf this
mornings sunrise was greeted by a
raising of flags In greater number and
with more ceremony than on any
other day of the year except perhaps
July 4 Today is Flag day the 129th
anniversary ot the creation of the
Stars and Stripes by the American
congress Thirtyfive years after the
adoption of the flag congress ordered
that a new star should be added for
each new state admitted to the union
There are thirtytwo more stars in
that fleld now than when the flag was
first raised and this number will be
increased soon by the admission of
the Southwestern territories

Shades of Cleopatra ejaculated
Covington o himself its ji womna
and be nuded a mighty pretty one
toolThe
The sample room of the Hotel Went-
worth was filled with neatly arranged
dry goods bamplos nmong which the
young woman moved calm and confi-
dent Behind her trotted old Epton
the best customer he had In Wont
worth The little circle embracing each
corner of the old mans thin lips show-
ed that he was pleased too Shes
sold him or Im a Dutchman was
Covingtons thought as he backed out
of the door he had so airily opened a
moment before and tbat means Ive
got to work for the man woman or
child whocan sell Epton under a years
acquaintance Is a wonder Well Its
the back sample room for mine and a
hustle to snare the rest of them before
she gets done with Epton
His eye caught a big black sample
case In the hall Jim Dunkleys trunk
Ill bet a dollar booze got the best of
Jim and theyve given this woman his
territory
Ignoring the grinning clerk who bad
seen Covington ndvancc on the sample
room like a conquering hero he scan-
ned the register Yes there It was
Miss Cecil Gardner Chicago The
signature was very like the young lady
herself trim neat capable and yet al-
most appcallngly feminine
As he laid out his samples In tbc
poorly lighted back sample room Cov
ington pondered resentfully upon the
depravity of the firm of Stern Sulz
mann which would fire good easy pick-
ing like Jim Dunkley and give his place
to a woman what was worse to a
woman who knew her business Slam-
ming the door viciously Covington
started out to round up the other dry
goods men of the town
He returned In half an hour even
more resentful than before Miss
Gardner evidently believed In the early
bird theory for she had already sold
good bills to nil three dealers Cov
ington met Epton on the hotel steps
He knew the case was hopeless but
he greeted his former customer cor-
dially Sorry I cant do any business
with you this time Mr Covington
said the merchant when the prellinl
THERE WAS A C1IASU
narles had been disposed of but Miss
Gardner had what I wanted You are
just a trifle too late Covington felt
like kicking the big S S sample case
that leered at him in the hallway
When Covington tossed his grip Into
the bus after dinner he fouud Miss
Gardner already ensconced In a corner
of the vehicle
During the ride to the railway sta-
tion he discovered by oblique glances
that she was even prettier than he had
at first Imagined Her profile was
good her complexion beautiful and
real her lips superlatively pretty
Tommyrot snorted Covington to
himself when he baw where his reflec-
tions had led him He began planning
how to outwit Miss Gardner when they
reached Esslg for he knew that she
lurely would stop there
Experience told at Esslg and Cov
ington bold big bills to the two dealers
In the thriving little town It was
Miss Gardners turn to depart without
an order There was something more
than the mere Indifference of a stran-
ger In her manner when they were bus
companions once more thjs time for
the evening train to Tllton The at-
mosphere was so chilly that Covington
felt like blowing on his fingers
Tho first day was n counterpart of
most of the days that followed for
two months Occasionally Covingtons
side trips to small towns which Miss
Gardner did not make would kenp them
out of each others wjij for a time
Soon Covington fouud himself plan-
ning to mold these side trips by hav-
ing the customers come at the expense
of the house to the larger points on his
route Other fellows do It he ar-
gued It makes good feeling to give
them a little holiday and It doesnt
cost much more than my livery hire
He never once admitted that n growing
Inclination to see as much ns possible
of Miss Gardner had anything to do
with the mutter
The sltuall n certainly had Its draw-
backs They became acquainted of
course Miss Gardner told him of her
first employment In Stern Snlz
uiuuns ns a stenographer how gradu-
ally she had been detailed to wait on
the smaller customers w ho came to the
city for their goods and bow the firm
quick to note her natural ability as a
saleswoman bad given her Dunkley
place on trial when that gcntlemanjj
fallings could no longer be overlooked
But there were no pleasant llttlolj
chats when Ml s Gardner failed in H
town Between stations on these un-
lucky days Covington with the uncom
fortable feeling that It was cowardlo
to make war on a woman usually
cupled a seat lu the smoker whllela
very discouraged Miss Gardner fcflm
fancy work or read hence after a par
tlcularly disastrous day he savwjffij
tear fall on to the page of his falnsbp
ponents book He laid down flagrant
foul
ly anI completely for the next
towns only awakening to the passflj <
chivalry had brought him when the
house In a sarcastic letter suggests
that he was out after orders aiuljnot
on a pleasure trip as he seeinedBo
Imagine
Its all right to sit there In thecal
fice and call n fellow he mused ffijjj
terly but Id like to bee one of then
up against the same situation It ifn
like having n man to deal with A mai
will grin and buy a drink when yotitic
him good and hard but hell lay awake
nights until he gets back at you Hc
doesnt go away and cry all by hlnwjf
as If he hadnt a friend on cartb wm
not doing any business and I knovafS
but If I let myself out Cecil bcmU
ways thought of her as Cecil ml
lose her job And If I dont let mygell
lose
out Ill mine I guess He
bis homely boyish face In perplex
Im sure I cant see the finish 1
Dick Harplns bus at Barton Coaler
was the factor which provided n232
lent but satisfactory solution to Soil
lngtons problem Harplns bus wg h
standing Jest among the travcllngffraf
ternlty It was as old apparently
the wonderful one boss sbay bu
age was not so honorable for thejUug
was rickety and disfigured
It was a nippy February morning
when Miss Gardner and Covington
climbed Into the bus for the lougljyi
ride uptown The driver unhookcaRue
weight strap and stepped backjK
that precise moment the keen TCI5TI
whirled a piece of paper Into the faces
of the restive horses 4flH
Harpln grabbed at the relnslanc
missed as the animals lenpei forward
A man ran Into the center ofptlij
street They swerved from his foolish
waving arms and there was a crash
The wheels on one side of the buiflhlj
struck a telephone pole and bceultort
offAt
At the first alarm Covington trledlto
open tho door but It stuck WIthitwo 1
wheels gone ho saw tbat few secondi
would elapse before the vehicle would
overturn Ills one Idea was to protect
the girl who pale and terror strlckon
snt opposite him He seized her Injlil
arms shielding her with bis bodyVas
the bus ayed wildly at the lieelj
tho gallopng horses toppled over
When the team was stopped a IjlffiglF
away they fouud Covington boricatbj
the wreck of the bus cut and brulscj
somewhat but

Covingtons orders have regained
their former satisfactory size and ydl
ume and Dunkley has been given his

that she was decidedly small n

Tlii Wmulrrful Inrnniil Ant
The greatest known curiosity of In-
sect life as far as habits are concern-
ed at leHst Is to be found In the queer
parasol or umbrella ant so com-
mon lu all parts of tropical America
from TcM is to Venezuela The com
iiioh name by which the creature Is
known bus Ikmjii bestowed because of
u < iiccr hiibil this species of ant has of
btrlpplng certain kinds of trees nud
shrubs of their foliage nud carrying
the Ieines to their nests An army of
these ants which lme Ihvii off on a
foraging expedition present the qilcer
est sight Imaginable ns they march In
long columns by two fours nud sixes
each holding the stem of a leaf In hs
jaws the leaf Itself shading the little
Insects iHxly like a paniol does the
face and shoulders of a iRdy The ear-
ly naturalists iiimuincd that these ants
carried leates for the ole purr > oMj of
protecting themselves against the rays
of the tropical sun but Investigation
shows that they hnte another ice for
the bits of green they gather The
leaves are only wanted ns soil upon
which to grow a certain sjiecles of
fungi of which the parasol ant Is very
fond

Chicago III October 1302
After doctoring for eleven months and taking
fortythree bottles of medicine and finding no relief
for leuconhcea resulting from irritation of a fallen
womb 1 took Wino of Cardui and fourteen bottles
cured me This seems strange but it is the simple
truth Wine of Cardui helped me from the time I
began taking it antt having heard it praised
bo highly by friends who had tried it I felt
satisfied that it would help me and it did
It cured me Took every bit of ache pain
and headache cramps and dragging down sensations
away till I felt young strong and happy once more
It is a wonderful medicine ana a true friend to women
When I look back on the months of torture I had it
seems like a hideous nightmare Wine of Cardui wJl
I have faith la it
cure any woman 1 believe more
than all other medicines combined
