Our flag! yes we, the old veterans feel proud to call it our flag; and why not when in the prime of our youth we left our homes and kindred, placed our lives in the balance on our country's alter, offered these bodies as a bulwork to protect the flag; we have marched beneath its starry Jolds through mud and sleet and snow, we have charged across Accordingly on tnc amnion 01 t- T, .

Every nation has a symbolic ensign, some have beasts, birds, fishes or reptiles in their banner, but our forefathers chose the stars and stripes; the red telling of the blood shed by them; the blue of the heavens, their protection; the stars represent a constalation of states. The idea was taken from the con stalation lyra signifying harmony. The blue of the field was taken from the edges of the cov enenters banner significant of the league and covenant against op pression involving the virtues of vigilance, perseverance and jus tice. The thirteen stripes and stars showed the number of the united colonies. The whole was a blending of the various flags pre vious to the Union flag, the red one of the army and the white one of the floating batteries, the red color denoting daring and de fiance and white purity. Our banner with its stars and stripes is a familiar object. Every body has seen it and admired it; and no wonder for it is the hand somest flag in the world red, white and blue those alternate red and white stripes in beautifu contrast with the blue field be decked with stars as though : piece of the sky had been taken to add more beauty to our nationa emblem which makes it in truth the star spangled banner. The first flag combining thirteen stars and thirteen stripes, was made in Philadelphia by Mrs. John Ross in a small two story house No. 239 Arch street which is still standing A committee of congress accom panied by General Washington called upon Mrs. Ross and engaged her to make a flag from a drawing made by himself with a pencil, in her back parlor. The flag thus designed was adopted by a reso lution of congress on the 14th day of June 1777. Early in 1794 in consequence of the admission Vermont in March' 1791 and Ken tucky June. 1992 into the union an act was passed increasing the stars and stripes from thirteen to fifteen to take effect May 1795. The ad mission of the states of Tennessee, Ohio, Iouisana and Indiana made changes in the flag necessary. blood, and dying blessed them and blessing them died . Our battle flags me thinks at night tell each other their tales of woful fight and dim specters came and their thin arms twine around each standard torn as they stand in line and the word is Riven, they charge they grauted- it up, Washington Star. "Kather," said Tommy, the other day, "why is it that the boy is said to be the father of the man?" Mr. Tompkins had never given this subject any thought and was and the dim hall rings with the i hardly prepared to answer offhand, battle storm, and once again j "Why, why," he said stuinb through smoke and strife these lingly, "it's so because it is, I colors lead to a nation's life, suppose." Precious flags yet they're bathed in tears, they tell of hopes, oftrumphs of fears of a mother's prayers of boys away, of a serpent crushed, of the coming dav. Silently they peak but the tears will start as we stand beneath them with throbbing heart and think of those who are not forgot. Their flags came home, why came they no:? Nothing but flags, yet we held our breath and gazed with awe at those types of death yet the thoughts will come, the heart must prav, though the ips bedumb. They are sacred pure and we see no stain on those dear oved flags, come home again baptized in blood, of our purest and best of American heroes who are now at rest. "Well," said Tommy, "since I'm your father, I'm going to give you a ticket to a theater and 50 cents besides.
