Ll.Vl.F SLUE, HALF FREE
CeitaJn rlg'i'a attaching to Am
oriiau citizenship have long been
resaided as"inalienable,'' but some
of tlu-se are showing the need oi
repair. America, has stood Tor the
widest freedom of individual action
consittfiit with just and fair gov
ernment; Icr freedom of initiative
and <♦ opportunity to utilize the
individual's capital oi brain and
tnnsde. Tbis idea of freedom is
closeiy woven into the nc-tiaoal life.
Due or our groat wars arose from
the withholding of this right from
a uorticu of the people, a great
statesman sug^estid th..t we could
uot endure, as a people, half slave
and half «ree, and we decided, af
'er four years of fighting, to en

American measure.
For seme years various citizens

protection. It is the united we

it is applied to one portion ofthe

Jus* now perhaps one-fourth of
our citizenship is organised, di

t'.ie arbitrary service price be not

The organization of one group

groups. Railroads or other busi

Voltaire and Plton. the epigrammatist
exchanged challeutew to write the
ahorteist possible letter So when Vol

wrote to Plton. "Eo rus." which is the

The Fla* Plant.
Linen Is obtained from the flax plant,
a small, delicate annual with a tiny
blue flower The plant is pulled by
hand in the summer, the seeds, known
In commerce as linseed, being removed
and the straw subjected to various
processes to separate the fibrous part
which constitutes the linen. First It is
steeped in water and then passed
through a drying and he, ting process
on revolving wheels until all foreign
matter is removed. It is then ready
for mauufacture.
Waltzing Oatrishaa.
One of the oddest sights of the sandy
stretches of plain in southern Africa U
' a party of waltz ug ostriches. A
writer on the subject thus describes
their queer antics:
"When there are a number of them
they will start off aii<J alter running a
few hundred yards will stop<and, with
raised wings, will whirl rapidly round
till they are stupefied or perhaps break
a leg. The mules pose also before
fighting. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wlugs and balancing
: themselves alternately forward and
| backward or to one side'or the other.
while the neck is stretched on a level
I with the back, and tile hend strikes
the sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The bird appears at this time so ab
sorbed in Its occupation as to forget
all that is going on around him and
can be approached and caught The
male alone utters a cry. which sounds
touch like an effort to speak with the
mouth shut tight"—Philadelphia In
quirer.
Mourning Friday.
It was not ulwuys called Good Fri
day. Years ago in Germany it was
frequently referred to as Mourning Fri
day. Our early ancestors in England
did not call it Good Friday, either, but
Long Friday Such is the term in an
uncieut ecclesiastical law about 1,000
years old The Panes used the same
name. Long, Instead of Good Friday.
The reason for using the word "long"
wns doubtless found In the seeming
endless and severe fast practiced that
day. At one time the Spaniards em
phasized the solemnity of Good Friday
by closing all the churches.
Nowhere else that I have happened
to be ou a Wood Friday was the day
so solemnly observed us in Home. Tho
city seemed to be In mourning, making
all the more inspiring the matchless
services and singing In St. Peter's cu
thedral on Easter.—Philadelphia Led

Settling the Score.
Was It euvy that caused the elderly
spinster to criticise so severely the
home and furniture of her newly mar
rled friend?
Whatever It was. the young wife
whs getting tired of it.
"Well, anyway." she salil presently
us she |H)inteii to a pretty little china
clock, if you don't like my furniture
you must surely like that?"
"Yes; It is lather nice." said the vlsl
tor grudgingly. "Who gave it to you?"
"Oh. it wasn't a present!" explained
the bride. "1 won II in a ralfle."
[ "A rattle!" The spinster drew her
! lingular figure rigidly up. "I never
lend iny face to such things!"
, "I'erhnps that's Just as well." retort
ed the younger woman as she gazed
j meaningly at tlie other's sour features,
"because if you did I'm afraid nobodv
would buy the tickets:"—Loudon Globe
Man.
As a geueral thing, taken by and
large, men are honest—except with
themselves
A man will cheat himself on his
score at golf, when he knows that fail
ing to set down the full number of
stn>kes does not make him a better
golfer.
If he is a fat man and |9 dieting to
reduce he will shove the weight back a
pound or two on the scales wbeu he
knows In his heart be Is heavier than
that.
Then he will tell his friends about
i "going around yesterday In 92" and
"taking o(T a pound and a half In
three days" by his diet
With these two exceptions almost
every man Is honest Therefore all
you need to do is to discount what he
says about golf or reducing.-Judge.

A Prison Punster.
Th» close confinement," snid thi
