Symbolic flag and Christian history in a Roman arena depiction
The passage links the national flag to deep historical and Christian symbolism. It notes Old Glory as a representation of the country, recalling ancient martyrdom and soldiers strengthened by the flag during extreme trials, and connects the cross to Christian remembrance rather than mere sight.
Bessie's Path May Get Paneled Gate
CHICAGO June 14 UP There will always be an open highway in the loop for Bessie the Basset cow despite traffic rules. The path at Clark and Monroe streets remains, with plans to replace swinging doors with a panelled gateway showing Bessie and the old homestead. The 10 foot air easement preserved the path since the 1850s, despite later property development, allowing the cow access to the barn above an 18 foot clearance. The space would yield about 12007 yearly rentals.
