. SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1912. HOW PATRIOTISM IS TAUGHT Instructor to the Daughters of Vet- erans Issues Circular Letter on the Subject. Miss Genevieve Spencer, national patriotic instructor to the Daughters of Veterans, who is a member of El- len Spencer Mussey tent of Washing- ton, has issued a circular letter to the | tent patriotic instructors. Miss Spen- cer calls attention to the birthday an- niversary of our great men, McKinley, Lincoln, Washington, Grant and Sheri- dan, and June 14, Flag day, and urges the tents to make this memorial by public observance if possible. Miss Spencer urges that the Daughters. visit the public schools and prepare them- selves to give interesting patriotic talks, and also urges that the Daugh- ters and their parents look into the matter of correct histories for the schools. Miss Spencer requests that | the Daughters “impress upon those in charge of the children of the great mass of immigrants who flock to this 32 republic that the parents have ttle time or knowledge to instruct r little ones about the government and the free institutions of their kdopted country, the true meaning of liberty and of the respect for our be- loved flag, whose stars glimmer as a light and hope to the oppressed of other lands. Awake to the importance »f exalting patriotism and of putting high ideals of citizenship before . the growing boys and girls. These thoughts I suggest are not meant for only that class just spoken of, but for ll the children, the future men and women of this great land of ours.” | passed in TO PRESERVE FAMOUS FLAG Appropriation Approved by House to Care for War Trophies Includes ‘ Perry's Banner. As the result of the work of a num- ber of patriotic societies, a bill for an eppropriation of $30,000 has just been the house of representa. tives to preserve the many battle- scarred trophy flags which are now stored at the Naval academy, Annap- olis. Among the most notable of these Is the famous flag with its motto: “Don’t give up the ship,” flown by Perry at the battle of Lake Erie. Theve words, of course, will be rec- ognized as those of Captain Lawrence of the United States navy, who com- manded the frigate Chesapeake in its battle with the British frigate Shan- non off the Maine coast in the war of 1812. Lawrence was mortally wounded in the action and his last words were “Don’t give up the ship,” words which became the motto of the American Captain Lawrence lies buried navy. In Trinity churchyard, New York city, his grave being within fifteen feet of the iron fence which separates the cemetery from the busiest part of that great thoroughfare, .Broadway. Hun- dreds of thousands of people visii, this grave in the course of a year and it is seen through the fence pal- ings by as many more thousands, who if they would stop for a moment, could read from the pavement the inspiring inscri; tion which the tomb bears. Suspends the Sentence. That Judge Anderson of Criminal Court No. 1 can dispense justice with mercy was shown the other day when John Davis, a negro, who “’lowed he was ‘somewhere 'round ninety years,” appeared before him, charged with breaking into a coop and removing two pullets therefrom. Tears streamed down the old ne- gro’s cheeks as he pleaded for one mcre chance to prove that he was a law abiding citizen. He promised that his | little indiscretion in annexing the chickens would never be repeated. “Jedge, Yo’ Honor,” said Davis, “ma conccience done bothers’ me. Ah stands befo’ ye’ a colored man wif a record. I ain’t goin’ to hide nothin’. Sorrow fills ma breast. In 1865 I was placed in the cooler and kept there fo' two days, ‘Jedge, an’ I was guilty, too, Jedge. Yes, indeed, Jedge, I was guilty and Ah paid the penalty.” “What did you do?” asked Justice Anderson. “Jedge, Ah done make a bonfire in thg White House lot,” replied Davis, “a#d the policeman, he jes’ grabs me and Ah guess it served me right.” “Sentence suspended,” said Justice Anderson. Helen Taft a Horsewoman, Miss Helen Taft, daughter of the president, is one of the familiar fig- ures to be seen daily in the saddle along the drives on the oulskirts of Washington, especially on the Poto- mac Speedway. She is always fol- lowed by Sergean# McDermott, who won fame as the riding companion of former President Roosevelt on hijg cross-country rides. Pony's Long Life Underground. An aged pit pony, known as *“The Rattler,” has lived underground for ga quarter of a century, at Udston (ol liery,. pear Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Bcotland. During- all this time the tame keeper has attended him. Money in Growing Willows. A Chicago merchant advertised for 1,000,000 willow clothes baskets which indicates that the willow-growing in- dustry is very much neglected. The government is encouraging it by teaching farmers how to grow. wil- lows. They require a soill that will grow wheat. * Original Sextet. %1 wonder who really made up that original sextet we hear so much about?” “The original sextet was com- posed of Helen of Troy, Sappho, Cleo- patra, Mme. du Barry, Lucretia Bor- gla and Delilah. They were all trou- ble-makers.”—Louisville Courier-Jour- nal, The above farm near Ogema is dwned by Mrs. Lizzie Smith, who it three-fourths Indian. but whose hus- band is a white man. There is a large number of such cases on the reserva- tion, where white men have married mixed-blood maidens, gotten 3, quarter section of land with them, and are prospering as farmers. The mixed- blood families are usually more nu- merous and much healthier than the regular Indian families, and the chil- dren are usually well educated. ! When the degree of Indian blood is reduced to one-fourth or less most of the Indian characteristics and fea- tures are lost. There are perhaps mere than 1,200 members of the White Earth tribe whose Indian blood does not show—who are really whites.
