Their joints are more rheumatic, and
their limp more pronounced. Their
boys occasionally march with them in
the line now, "iust to keep pap from
But they march just the
same, and they march bravely, too,
with their comrades and their old battle
flags. They pass in review and salute
their Commander-in-chief. No man
with spark of patriotism in his breast
can see one of these parades without
enthusing and bowling himself hoarse.
The sight of the flag and its defenders
