HYMN OF THE FLAG.

North! South! East and West!
Rise and join your hands.
Native born, and brothers drawn
From many fatherlands.
Rise! Ye nation of the morn,
Land where liberty was born;
Ye who fear no rulers nod,
Ye who only kneel to God,
Rise! Salute the flag!
Stars upon It's azure throng,
Stars for states that stride along
Stars of hope that make men strong.
Blood red bars for battles done,
Snow white bars for peace we'll won.
North! South! East and West!
Bring your tribute then.
Treasure give and grain enough
To feed earth's starving men.
Ye who tent on distant shores,
Ye whose deeds the ocean roars,
Ye who toll in mine and field,
Ye who pluck the cotton's yield
Rise Salute the flag!
North! South! East and West!
Rise and join your hands.
Native born, and brothers drawn
From many fatherlands.
One We stand in common cause,
One to break oppresson's laws,
One to open freedoms gates.
One! Ye reunited States
Rise! Salute the flag!
Stars upon It's azure throng,
~ Stars for states that stride along
Stars of hope that make men strong.
Blood red bars for battles done,
Snow white bars for peace well won.

sing young lady, with quite the air, as
we imagined from her pose, of a society
woman.
1t was two or three weeks after Wills
conversation with Richard in regard to
the matter of best man that one even
ing our afflicted friend seemed a little
less morose than usual; he picked up
Dorothy's picture, which was lying on
the table.
What pretty grill" he exclaimed.
"Who is she?"
You ought to know her." replied
Will. you and she were fast friends
once. She's no other than my sister
Dorothy"
THAT handsome girl my little friend
Dorothy! Why, 1 thought of her as
still a child. By Jove, but she's a
beauty" said Richard, with more ami
nation than he had displayed since his
engagement was broken.
1t was relief to see him something
like his old self, if only for a moment;
but he surprised us by conversing quite
cheerfully the rest of the evening.
A few days later viii appeared in a
most excited state of mind. Richard
was at the house at the time. but Will
did not notice him, as he rushed in ex-
claiming:
''Such i'll luck. Cousin Harry is down
with the mumps. Did you ever hear of
anything so ridiculous, and the we'd
ding next week."
what is to be done?" 1 asked,
blankly.
THAT is more than I KNOW" re-
piled Will. Il dashed over to see Syl-
vester but he's off to Florida next
week. And then 1 asked Tom Elan
ders. He thanked me politely for my
courtesy, and said he hardly cared to
act as stop-gap. Agreeable chap,
Tom, but that was always his way
must be first or nowhere. l think l
will telegraph my cousin Herbert, in
Philadelphia. l never fancied him
much, but l must have some one, l
suppose"
At this juncture Richard, who had
been looking at Dorothy's picture,
spoke rather hesitatingly:
"Well, old fellow, since you are in
such tight place, I'll help you out. 1
will act as best man."
Will stared in amazement at this I'M
expected offer, but slapped Richard
heartily on the back.
"Will you, really, though? You're an
old brick!"
| wonder why men always use the
word 'old" as a term of endearment
with each other? 1 suppose it is sub
stitute for dear" or darling" and
all the tender terms of womans vo-
cabulary.
Richard seemed embarrassed at
Wills gratitude, and added, somewhat
apologetically:
''lf | can accommodate a friend, |
want to. That's about the only thing
in the way of pleasure 1 can ever hope
to have"
Dorothy arrived day or two before
the wedding. We found her even more
charming than her picture, and we
were delighted with her.
