THE RED FLAG.
France flung out her flag of red

And those down-trod looked up TO God
To bless the GREAT Commune
They craved that food should have a price
That all poor men could pay,
Be like the rich man's-gay!
With pictures, lounges. chairs as bright
And glorities the household ware
And the kitchens cleaning tin!
But brighter still we flashing see
A man unScalped come free.
From the virus of a red skins oath
Who'd strike him down with giee:
The doctor asked no favor nor,
A compromise sought he;
But waited for the verdict which,
Was demanded by his LEA
The Judgment fair OF men he got
Their duty sworn to do!
A lint to SOME \ that its time
That he should cease to SUE!
But Wnlle lie sues, we VIII duuTcSS
