The Flag.

There is something in a flag, and in a little
FURNISHED eagle,
That is more than emblematic. it is glorious,
it's regal:
You may never live to feel it. you may never
be in danger,
You may never visit foreign lands and play
the role Of stranger;
You may never in the army check the march
OF invader,
You may never on the ocean cheer the swarthy
cannOnader:
But if these should happen to you then, when
is you pressing.
And your great big BOBBY boy comes to ask your
final blessing
You will tell him: 'son of mine. be your sta
tiOn proud or frugal,
When your country calls her children, and you
hear the blare of bugle,
Don't stop to think Of Kansas, or the quota Of
your county
Don't go to asking questions. don't you stop
for pay or bounty:
But you volunteer at once, and you go where
orders take you,
And obey them to the letter. If they make you
break you:
Hunt that flag and then stay with it, be you
wealthy plebeian;
Let the women sing the drges, scrape the lint
and chant the paean.
Though the magazines and journals TEEN with
anti-war persuasion,
And the stay-at- homes and towards gladly take
the like occasion,
Don't you ever dream Of asking, is the war
right wrong One%
You in it, and your duty is TO make the
fight strong one;
And you stay till il Is over, be the war a short
long one:
Make amends when war is over: then the power
with you is lying;
Then. II wrong do ample justice-but that flag
you keep IL flying;
If that flag goes down 10 ruin, time will then,
without a warning
Turn the dial back TO midnight, and the world
must wait till morning"

memorial tablet which formerly rested upon the
grave became so weatherbeaten that. in order
to preserve it, it was removed to the church
near by and a simple stone was placed the
