Reunion of Co. G., 18th Reg't Wis.
Vol. Infantry.

Last Friday was a memorable one to
those members of Co. G. 18th Wisconsin
Volunteer Infantry who gathered on
the Fair grounds in this city to enjoy
a reunion of comrades. The Woman s
Relief Corps of the Twin Cities pro-
vided the entertainment, and were a
prime factor in the success of the gath
ering.
Both dinner and supper ola substantial
character, with dainty conserve and
desert were served, and the "boys'
with furrowed faces and whitening hairs,
compared the feast of now and feasts
of then, in happier mood than the fare
of 62-'64 could have elected.
Among those from abroad were COM
rades: Geo. L. Lang and wife, Boston;
Ben Elliott and wife, Plainfeld; Geo.
Pomeroy and H. II. Atkinson, Sparta;

rey. There are nineteen survivors who
were unable to attend.
Judge Webb answered the call for a
speech with "reminiscences, and with
words that held a deeper meaning than
mere speech making. Though silvery
hairs are growing thickly in the brown,
and the years are beginning to trace
their passing on the erect form and
military bearing of the old time
soldier, he showed that the same warm

ton of any kim other than renunion
and family gathering of those whose
dangers and privations had been shared
in the long ago war times, and when
the adieux were spoken, the hearty

FIRST ALUMNI REUNION
The Alumni Banquet and Dance a
Complete Success. Beautiful Co.'S
tunes and Large Gathering. The
. Howe High School Honored.

Reunions are always enjoyable affairs
of whatever nature they may be, and
the first annual reunion of the Alumni
of the Howe High School last Friday
evening in the Opera House was no
exception to the rule. The ball was
very tastefully decorated and bespoke
much praise for the efforts of those
who did the work. From the center of
the ceiling was suspended large bell,
probably representing the old High
School bell that had called those present
to their school duties so many times in
the past, mornings, moons, or from the
play grounds at recess. The bell was
prettily trimmed with evergreens and
small flags, and from it chains of ever
green's and flags branched out in
festoons to the four corners of the hall.
Flags, bunting and potted plants were
nicely displayed about the stage. And
the decoration did not stop here. While
the walls, ceiling and all about were so
neatly adorned, the guests within were
dressed in richest costumes lending a
beauty to the whole scene that made a
striking picture. The toilets of the
ladies were especially noticeable for
their elegance while the gentlemen in
their CLAW hammer" and conventional
blacks gave a setting of richness to the
picture.
One of the prettiest toilets worn by
an Alumnus was a dress of white
trimmed with smilax; another dress Of
white trimmed with lavender silk, had
a corsage boquet of rare purple hearted
orchids; other white and lavender silks
were conspicuously attractive. Roses
seemed to be the favorite flowers and
were worn in all shades in harmony
with the gowns. Nothing could be
prettier than the shifting kaleidoscope
of color as the dancers moved about in
rhythmic harmony with the grace and
beauty of youth.
Upon arriving at the hall the guests
were met with welcoming words by the
reception committee, composed of
President B. NJ. Vaughan, Joseph
Arpin, Misses Laura Reeves, Grace
Balderston and Ella Whitney, making
outsiders" as well as the alumni, feel
at home and happy. After this formal

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
My country It's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty
nf hoo cfnr
OF thee | sing

Of thee sing.
To those of us whose lives have but
fairly begun it is hard to realize the love
and devotion that in the past clustered
around that starry banner, the flag of
our country. TO all true patriots the
stirring words of that dear old song
have meaning that thrills every fibre
of their beings.
Uninteresting and tame as it may
seem, it may not be amiss to recite the
story of the designing and adoption of
this banner as the flag of our country
and how it happened that it became
emblematic of all our national life and
greatness.
In small, two story frame house,
still standing at $50 Arch St., Philadel-
phia, Mrs. John Ross made the first flag
from a design handed her by Gen'l
Washington, who, with one or two
others, had been appointed as a
committee to design and arrange for
the making Of our first flag.
There is said to be striking resem-
blance between the design of the flag
and the arms of Gen'l Washington,
which consisted of three bars running
across the escutcheon and three stars
in the upper left hand corner. The
flag thus designed, was made our
national emblem by a resolution Of
Congress on June 18th, 1777, and since
that time has been known as our "Star
Spangled Banner" from the fact that,
when on Fort McHenry, it inspired
Francis Scott Key to write the words of
that song. This same flag used then Oh
Ft. McHenry is still kept in a tolerable
state of preservation.
The Yankees are said to have used
