Show f Takes a Strong Wind, Too. Dr. George T. MacCoy of Columbus recalls that when the Spanish-American war broke out, In April, 1898, two Irishmen were at work on a new asphalt pavement, being laid on Washington Wash-ington street. He was watching them when one stopped handling his pick and glanced up at the courthouse tower, where a flag was waving. "What's the use of putting u flag up there?" the man questioned. "The wind will whip it to pieces." "Yes, but the wind's the only thlnn that can whip it," was the other's quick reply. Indianapolis News. , |
