 For auld lang syne we turn to the latter group of verses: Poems Relat- ing to the Confederacy." One of the most popular of that day was:
 sI'he Lone star FIas." Up with the Lone Star Banner! Its hues are still as bright As when It's gIories braved the breeze At San Jacinto's fight: Its Auttering folds In triumph waved Der many gory brow The Freedom that was conquered then Will not be yielded now. That banner with the single star, Is Freedoms favoEsd sign-- Beneath It's unpolluted folds Her brightest glories shine; And in the whfrlwind and the storm, Amid the crash and jar. She fears no foe while floats aloft
 That Solitary Star"
 Others almost as popular are stone wall Jackson fin Camp" and "On snip We quote verse from the dirge for the Warrior Bishop, Polk: "A flash from the edge of a hostile

 The past rscurs to me. see the Stars and Bars unfuFled
 And like a meteor rise To flash upon the startled world
 A wonder in the skies, I see the grass of many fields
 With crimson fffe-blood wet I see the dautless eyes ablaze
 Above the bayonet I hear the crashing of the shells

 Ring down the waiting lines. see the Stars and Bars refurled.

 The last is given entire; "A reckless youth---a trusting girl--
 Fire and Flax together Tender kisses--vows of truth-- Guile of Judas--faith of Ruth
 And the tickle April weather. A pleading girl--a scoffing churi--
 October in golden glory A woman dead in the rivers bed-- Gossiping blackbirds overhead,
 And the reeds astir with the story.
 In these poems noted and others as At the Theater' and Tn the Moon- light" Mr. Flash shows wonderful skill in encumpassing a life story. whoaa romance in couplet order.
 Fine poetry breathes through the lines perhaps" Very tender are the verMes s,Conapensation. 'srhe roses will not bloom.
 The lily hangs it's head All the flowers know Our little bird Is dead. The spangled fields of night Are brighter now at even. Another star of light Is biossoming in heaven! Blessings on the Power That. flowing from afar, Changed a mortal flower To an immortal star"
