Uncle Sam Has Some Which Are
Very Seldom. Seen.
COLORS OF THE PRESIDENT.
Not Until 1882 Did the Chief Execu-
tive of the Nation Have a Personal
Banner but Now He Has Three the
Naval Army and Peace Flags.
As the United States grew and the
Eovernment expanded many new de-
partments were added and with them
many special flags have come Into ex-
istence. Least often seen and yet
most interesting of these twenty-five
or thirty special flags is that of the
president of the United States. He
has a wealth of them in fact no less
than three but they are seldom seen
in public. There are two each of these
flags one of bunting and one of silk.
They are exactly alike with this ex-
ception but the one of silk is called
the "president's colors."
The president of the United States
had no personal flag until 1SS2. If he
went aboard a ship his presence was
denoted by the national flag hoisted
at the main truck and his presence in
a garrison or post was denoted by the
raising of the big garrison flag. These
were not entirely distinctive as denot-
ing the presence of the president for
these flags were hoisted on gala occa-
sions when the president was not
around. The lnck of a distinguishing
flag for him was feit by the navy also
and the secretary of the navy by gen-
eral -orders. Aug. 39 1SS2 established
a flag far the president of the United
States. The general orders described
the flag as of blue bunting with the
coat f arias of the Uniied States in
the center. The flag was to be hoisted
at tJie main of the vessel when the
president was aboard and be carried at
the txw of the launch on which he
came Aboard.
la the army there was no distin-
guishing flag ftr the president of the
United States until just before the
outbreak of the Spanish-American war.
Colonel Theodore Bingham who was
then Superintendent of public build-
ings and grounds called the attention
of President McKinley to this lack of
a distinguishing flag for him and
stated that he thought the commander
in chief of the United States army and
navy ought to. have -a distinguishing
flu s President McKinley did not like
"the suggesticn. but the Secretary of
w. r did. aud a ftg was made. It was

:
An Indian cicient In Indiana's Pio-
; ncer Days.
! David Johnson one of the oarlv set-
' tle? of lml3aua- was a uot uuufer
uuu iit uuu inue was who a uuuunir
party of which John Severns was a
member. On that occasion the early
settlement of the state was discussed.
Mr. Severns having been there so
many years 'before any other white
man was accepted as authority on all
such subjects. In the "Pioneer His-
tory of Indiana" Colonel W. M. Cock-
rum gives one of Mr. Severns' stories
as repeated by Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Severns said that in the fall of
17D3 he was with half a dozen of his
Indian neighbors bunting and that be
stayed all night at an Indian village.
During the night two white prisoners
were brought in and preparations
were made for their trial and death.
First two lines were formed facing
each other and the two men were
compelled to run the gantlet between
the linear A point some hundred
yards beyond the lines of the gantlet
was designated as the place that was
to be reached to save their lives.
One of the men was of middle age
bnt frail; the other was a strong ath-
letic young fellow. The lines were
made up of more than 100 Indians
mostly squaws and boys with enough
active men to keep the prisoners from
getting away. The young man was
the flrst to make the race. He got
through the lane and to the life sta-
tion without being much hurt.
The older man before lie started
held up his hands and offered a pfayer
to God for aid. then commenced the
race which w;is not more than half
completed before he was knocked
down by a heavy club in the hands
of a squaw and was set upon by the
horde of sq.ua ws and boys and beaten
to death.
As soon as he was knocked dowu the
young man! who" was several hundred
feet away ran like a deer and jumped
into the throng of Indians and tried to
save his friend's life but was soon
overpowered and dragged away.
For this brave act the chief of the
village adopted the young man toi
take the place of a son whom lie had
lost.
Mr. Severns. on being asked why he
did not intercede for the prisoners
said that if he had attempted to inter-
fere it would have cost him his life.

A Phase of Life Through Which Many
Married Women Pass.
The only incidents that marred our
happiness wore sudden and inexplica-
ble "flare ups." On-nsinunl)y lo our
amazement a trifle would make us
glare at' each oilier like animals and
speak bitterly. Five minutes later we
would express our regret and shame.
Soon I perceived that these quarrels
were due to nerves and to the trials
of adjustment. One evening we had
an argument that was particularly
violent and distressing. It ended by
Frank's going to bed. 1 remained In
the seat where I had been reading and
for a long time I pretended to myself
that I was going on reading. Present-
ly tears fell on my book. Then f said:
"Uow silly all this is: I am making
myself suffer and I am making Frank
luffer too. I will go and tell him that
I am sorry . So I stole into the bed-
room. He was sleeping peacefully.
That little experience not without
humor as I look back on It made me
flrst realize bow differently Frank and
I could be affected by the same cause.
It marked the beginning of my uneasi-
ness. Soon I stopped reading aloud to
Frank; why. I can't remember. Little
things disturbed me. At first the
thought of them used to be swept
away by my delight on seeing Frank
In the evening. Then. too. there would
come the feeliug that those things
were accidents aud would not occur
again. In the second year of our mar-
riage just after dinner. Frank would
road the. newspaper till he began to
doze. Then he would rouse himself
and try to be agreeable. The effort
troubled me. There was also the quiet
and elhVieijt deciding of little details
without reference to my wishes. And
here I felt there -was danger. Once 1
said to myself. "Suppose 1 should tire
him. " and 1'irrew cold.! Then I thought
of the moment when 1 -should "discover
that 1 was tiring him." Mere my souse
of. humor came to "my-'. rescue.' and 1
felt better.- 1 imagine that many
women pass through this phase.

WATERLESS BATHING.
A Good Rub and an Air Dath a Sub-
stituts Por the Tub.
j The conditions and conventions of
our civilization demand frequent bath
ing it is popularly supposed that tins
frequent bathing is c--ential to health.
"This is quite untrue." says the Med-
ical Journal. "We hae seen tine and
vigorous men uniting the habitants of
Canada who had never taken a full
bath In their lives. Were the truth
known many thousands of our fellow
citizens probably know nothing of the
alleged benefits of the tub though
maintaining excellent average health.
"Such people do not present the
fresh aud pleasing appearance of the
frequent bather however long lived
they may be. Is not however much
of the benefit attributed to the water
in reality due to the complete exposure
of the skin to the air?
"The respiratory function of the
skin Is of high importance and al-
though water may be dispensed with
closing the pores to air would result
In speedy aspbyxiutlon. The historic
instance of the boy who Impersonated
John the Baptist in a mediaeval pro-
cession and whose body was covered
with gold leaf with rapidly fatal re-
sults is proof.
"The ice cold bath Is a superstition;
It Is a pastime for the abnormally
vigorous not desirable for the average
civilized man. A bath not too cold Is
really an agreeable stimulant as well
as being a luxury. The feeling of well
being after a bath can hardly be ob-
tained in any other way and the
rapid multiplication of tubs in hotels
and private residences soon to. ap-
proach one to the individual shows
how they are- appreciated.
"Unhappy persons- however whose
travel in the provinces or into the
desert may temporarily deprive them
of sunViert water for bathing may
find substitute that will at least at-
.ford a part of their accustomed . en-
joyment. The body may be energet-
ically rubbed with a; brush or coarse
Turkish towel and afterward exposed
to the ait for fifteen minutes or so:
The' .accustomed feeling of vigor will
follow and the process .will be found
by the uninitiated to be astonishingly
cleansing."

A SOUTH SEA ROMANCE. 1
The Mutiny Long Ago on the Bounty
a British Man-of-war.
"Who has not heard of the mutiny of
the Bounty? The romance of it still
lingers from one end of the Pacific" to
the other. The descendants of the mu-
tineers of the British man-of-war and
their dusky wives are living and bear
English names made famous or in-
famous more than a century ago.
The British man-of-war had gone to
Tahiti. The commander. Blythe was
harsh and cruel to his men. The
women of Tahiti loved the fair skinned
sailors and sought to hide them from
Blythe their oppressor but they were
captured and the ship sailed away
but only to return. When It returned
ki command was Fletcher Christian
midshipman and a score of mutineers.
The brute Blythe and bis loyal com-
panions nad been set adrift in an open
boat Marvelous to relate after trav-
ersing thousands of miles of open
ocean they reached the Australian
coast Here they found a baren of
vefnge at a British outpost For twen-
ty years all trace of Fletcher Christian
and his companions was lost although
searching expedition after expedition
was sent to Tahiti by the British gov-
ernment. Each of the mutineers save the re-
morseful Fletcher Christian took unto
himself a wife. As it meant death
to their husbands to live in Tahiti
they helped the men they loved to man
the boat that bore them away to seek-
some desert island. After sailing for
many days in the extreme southern
tripical sea the rock of PItcairn arose
before them.
Twenty years later a British mer-
chantman sighted by chance the lone
rock in the southern Pacific and sent
a twit ashore. To the astonishment or
the crew dusky nien and women ran
down to the beach to welcome them its
their own tongue and claimed to be
"English." Only one old man among
them. Adams of pure British blood
still survived. lie was found Bible
in baud teaching in the little Sunday
school which he had built and where
he had educated the children of the"
colony and taught them the tenets of
the Christian faith.
When the news reached England a
British man-of-war was sent for the
last of the mutineers of the Bounty.
Aboard was a king's pardon fot
Adams so that after all he died a
British subject surrounded by his.
dusky children and grandchildren. The
colony was thou removed from the
faraway southern isle to Tahiti but
homesickness overcame Its members
and they returned to the verdant
rock. New Idea Magazine.
