THUS A FLAG WAS BORN
Tha recent death of Gen. W. T.
Cabell ("Old Tlge"), former com
mander of the Trana-MlMiaatppl De
partment of Confederate Veterans, re
calls the fact that he bad supervision
of the making of the first Confederate
flag. His Interview, given several
years ago, made public for the first
time the true history of the "stars and
bars."
"When the Confederate army, com
manded by General Beauregard, and
the Federal army confronted each oth
er at Manaasaa," said General Cabell
In regard to the adoption of a Con
federate flag, "It waa seen that the
flag being used by the Confederates
and the stars and stripes looked at a
distance BO much alike that It was
hard to distinguish one from the other.
General Beauregard, believing that se
rious mistakes might be made In rec
ognising our troops, after the battle
of July 18, at Blackburn Ford, ordered
that a small red badge should be
worn on the shoulder of our troop*.

RECOGNITION OF THE OCCULT
Ivan Its Enemies Are Willing to
Grant That the Belief Haa a
Foundation In Fact.
The myatertoua, the secret, and the
unknown have ever exercised a power
ful attraction over the human mind,
and the present craae for what we
may designate cocmprebensirely aa
occult research la no new thing. But
It cannot be dented that, apart from
i merely superficial aide, which
liar badges. Generals Johnston and
Beauregard met at Fairfax Courthouse
In the latter part of August or early In
September and determined to hare a
battle flag for every regiment or de
tached command that could be easily
recognised and easily carried.
"General Johnston's flag was In the
shape of an ellipse; a red flag with
blue 8t Andrew's cross and stars on
the cross to represent the different
Southern states. General Beaure
gard's was a rectangle; red with blue
St Andrew's cross and white stars,
similar to General Johnston's.
"After we had tally discussed the
two styles. It was decided the elliptic
cal flag would be the harder to make;
that It would take more cloth, and
that It could not be seen so plainly
at a distance; that the rectangular
flag suggested by General Beauregard
should be adopted. General Johnston
yielded.
"No one else was present but we
three. No one knew about the flag
but we three until an order was Is
sued adopting the Beauregard flag."
naturally fascinate* the empty-headed,
the frivolous, or the Ignorant, there
ara aapects ot occultism which make
a vary deep appeal to the more Intel
lectual and spiritual among us.
Whether this be a good sign or not
it Is not our Intention to Inquire; but
it is curtoua to note the grounds upon
which Its bitterest opponents base
their objections to occultism In gen
eral. We need not trouble about the
superior or matter-of-fact persons
who, without the slightest Inquiry,
smile at such "superstitions," for no
xlr
i I
man has a right to sneer at another's
beliefs, unltss he can prove other
to be wrong. But tbe real enemies of
occult science are those who, fully
admitting ths objective reality of oc
cult experiences, hold that they are
necespwrlly evil and harmful in them
selves. OB this point, agstn. we
should not cars to express an opinion,
but It la clearly a remarkable fact
that fancies which have for so many
generations been looked upon as mere
superstitions and old wives' tales
should BOW be acknowledged by so
many Intelligent and thinking Individ
uals as at least resting upon some
foundation of fset. Who could have
predicted aucb a tremendous reversal
of opinion concerning these mafiatrt
fifty years ago?— London Globe.
