Your Flag and MY Flag.

Editor National Tribune: 1t would
please me much II you would reprint
the poem "My Flag and Your Flag" in
your valuable paper.-A. A. Hanscom,
Beverly, Mass.
Your Flag and my Flag,
And how it flies to-day
In your land and my land
And half world away!
Rose-red and blood-red
The stripes forever gleam,
Snow-white and soul-white-
The good forefather's dream;
Sky-blue and true blue. with stars to
gleam Alright
The gloried guidon of the day: shell
ter through the night.
Your Flag and my Flag!
And. oh. how much it holds
Your land and my land
Secure within its folds!
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight;
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed,
Red and blue and white.
The one Flag-the great Flag-the
Flag for me and you
Glorified all else beside-the red and
white and blue!
Your Flag and my Flag!
To every star and stripe
The drums beat as hearts beat
And fifers shrilly pipei
Your Flag and my Flag
A blessing in the sky:
Your hope and my hope
It never hid a lie!
Home land and far land and half the
world around
Old Glory hears our glad salute and
ripples to the soundi

Death Of .h. Oldest Soldier.

William Welch. the oldest citizen Of
New Hampshire, and who was claimed
to be the oldest veteran alive, died at
Claremont, N. H.. Feb %, of old age.
Had he lived until March 20. he would
have been 107 years old. He retained
his faculties to the very last, and altho
feeble had been about the house and
able to go to the table for his meals.

Thompson and came to the United
States, where he located at Lempster,

the first lath in that section. To him
and his wife 10 children were born, of
whom seven are living. 1t was claimed
for him that he was the oldest Mason
est veteran. A short time ago the COM
rades of the G. A. R. presented him
with handsome gold badge set with
diamonds, as being the oldest veteran
in New England. He had been a Ma
son since 1891. He enlisted from
Lempster in the 14th N. H., fooling the
enllsting officer about his age and never
missed thing that his regiment got
into. He was called "Ever-Ready Bilr'
by his comrades. and was wounded at
the battle Of Cedar Creek, getting a
furiough from the hospital to enable
him to go home and vote for Abraham

1865. He remembered that in his boy
hood the men wore queues. powdered
their hair. and wore cooked hats; two
