the lead to Sunset canyon and there in what seemed to be a promising spot they began sinking a shaft hoping to cross cut the mineral lode Patiently and persistently the men worked all through the summer and they had a hole some thirty feet deep with two lateral tunnels running several feet FLAG A Buffalo Possesses Banner That Was Carried by the During Invasion of swslw A faded green silk flag with one corner torn into ribbons has been placed in the collection of the Buffalo Historical society It is a relic of the Fenian invaders who crossed into Can- ada ¬ from Buffalo on the night of May 31 1866 and who had to come back a few days later after having thrown Canada into a spasm of terror This flag went through what is known as the battle of Ridgeway which village is now more familiar to Buffalonians as the town back of Crystal Beach The flag was formerly presented to the Historical society by James McEl roy in whose family it had been for a long time and by D E Mahoney The exercises were held in the societys lecture room About 200 persons were present President Andrew Langdon in response to a few remarks made by Mr Mahoney said he was reminded of an incident that came under his observation while in the office of the president of a large New York bank It was during a political campaign and one of the other officers coming into the room hung up the portrait of one of the candidates he said The president immediately said Take that down We no politics here Its the same way with us We accept relics whether we approve of them or not and we accept this flag for its historical interest The flag which was carried by the Buffalonians who took part in the in- vasion ¬ is nine feet long and six feet wide In the upper left hand corner Knit At the end of the year says the Worlds Work we may congratulate ourselves that it will leave the world in much better plight it found it When it began there was in South Africa and there were troublesome hostilities in the Philippines Now peace is broken if broken at all only by the unrest in Venezuela and Co- lombia ¬ and in Hayti that follows their revolutions and in Africa where the Mad Mullah has attacked the Brit- ish ¬ And not only is the world at peace but the great nations are more securely linked together perhaps than they ever were before New forces for peace are at work especially two of the strongest possible world influ- ences ¬ an organized and closely knit commerce which none can afford to disturb for fear of a lasting loss of trade and in particular the over- whelming ¬ commercial power of the United States which would gain a still surer lead by the suspension of industrial activity in any important country The little periodical ¬ of power and of privilege that the nations used to make by treaties were crude and weak guaran- ties ¬ of peace in with the compelling power of com- merce ¬ and all that it implies The most recent wars were really only frontier wars Men without historical knowledge DUTIES OF A TROUBLE MAN Specially Employed to Listen to Hard Luck Stories by the constant tales of people with troubles to tell the pro- prietors ¬ of a saloon at Matthews Ind have hired a man to remain in their place whose sole business it is to listen to the troubles of others ac- cording ¬ to the Indianapolis News In front of the saloon they have erected a platform and have fenced it off by an iron railing It is upon this platform that the man sits and sympathizes with his ever growing clientele Almost any time of day the trouble man may be seea with ready sasaaicrrr Into the mountain to show for their summers labor Unfortunately this was all they did have to show for it for no trace of the mineral they sought had been found and their means had played out On the day of the storm they con- cluded ¬ to abandon the search and they had taken the tools from the hole and were packing their camp outfit when the storm came up The fall of the rain was accompanied by a bril- liant ¬ electrical display and loud claps of thunder Suddenly there came a most terrific clap of thunder accom- panying ¬ a blinding flash of lightning and it seemed to the watching men as though the mountain was being torn asunder A moment later another equally severe crash followed and a third clap came a little later The lightning bolts seemed to be directed at the shaft they had so recently abandoned and when the storm had cleared and they investigated they saw that the wall of the shaft had been seamed and shattered the electrical bolts They descended tc ascertain the results of the holts and found the wall of the shaft opposite to the lateral tunnels had been riven and several tons of rock had been scaled off and had fallen to the bottom of the shaft but what was of more interest and importance to the pros- pectors the vein of ore which they had so persistently sought had been laid bare FENIAN RELIC Irish Troops the Canada have than a golden sunburst was once painted on the of green silk but its outlines were destroyed by a Cana- dian ¬ ball that tore through the flag at the battle of Ridgeway That por- tion ¬ of the flag is merely a collection of tatters now

in a new relation to civilization This revolutionary fact has become plainer this year than it ever was before Its far reaching significance we do not yet see but it looks like a great force that will work for the steadying of governments and for the sane di- rection ¬ of endeavor for centuries to come For it is the natural result of a great law of human development and not an advantage won by the
