The Flag of Our Country.

(Tune: '"rhe Old Oaken Bucket.D
The Flag of our country, the pride of
the Nation,
Triumphantly waves over land and
the sea,
Its colors were born at the dawn of
creation,
But held in reserve for the noble and
free.
May Heavens protection encircle that
banner,
The banner of Freedom, and glory
to save.
Then wave our proud banner. our glori-
Gus banner!
The star spangled banner, o, long
may it wave.
When the sunlight of freedom had
painted in glory
Its stars and its stripes in the bright
field of blue,
Then freedom came forward to chant
the glad story
And swear by its colors to ever prove
true.
Yes, true to the Union, to home and to
country,
And bright starry banner. the Flag
of the brave,
Then wave our proud banner, our glori-
Gus banner!
The star spangled banner, o, long
may II wave.
Well stand by our mountains, our
meadows and rivers,
Our hills and our valleys, our coun-
try and home.

FORT McIIENRY.

FORT McHENRY.
her marriage was Mary Young. She
did the principal work on the flag.
How the Flag Was Made.
The order for new flag for Fort
McHenry was given by Commodore
Barney with the approval of Gen. John
Stricken and Gen. William McDoL aid.
1t was what was known as post
flag, nothing more; yet it was destined
to be second only in Importance to the
first star spangled banner made by Betsy
Ross in Philadelphia. The flag was
originally 40 feet long and 80 feet wide.
Its great width was due to its Is stripes.
Instead of the 13 stripes. which our
flag now has, all of the flags used by
the army and navy between the years
17941S1S were made with Is stripes.
The Is five-pointed stars were two feet
from point to point, and the union, or
blue field, rested on the ninth stripe,
which was red, instead of the eighth,
which is white in the present flag.
So large was the flag that ii was
made in sections, and when they were
completed 1t was found impossible to
put them together in the home of Mrs.
Pickersgill. Even the blue field could
not-be laid down in the room so that
the stars could be sewed together.
Eli Claggett, who kept "A brewery on
tHe corner CI 1LCHlDdTQ anu 'FRONT.'
streets, gave Mrs. Pickersgill permis-
sion to use his malt room, and there
the parts were sewed together (Claggett
lived few doors from Mrs. p, on
Albemarle street,. When finished the
flag was delivered to the commander
at Fort McHenry. 1t was hoisted on
d high mast not far from the bastion,
facing the Patapsco River in the Star
Fort. (The Flagstaff at Fort McHenry is
still at or very near the original spot;
the flag is in Washington at the Gov
ernment Museum)

Let all our youth well understand
'Tis streaming DER a mighty land

And breadth of Freedoms country!

And pure enlightened liberty.

We love our glorious country's Flag.

Keep pure what we have given,

Alaskan Flag Day.

Col William l.. Dstin, Past Com
mander of the Department of Illinois,
Grand Army of the Republic. is Secre-
tary of the Territory of Alaska and its
Acting Governor. He has abated not
one whit of his patriotism since he went
up there, and if the residents of that
vast empire of the Northwest do not
learn something about our loyalty to
Flag and country it viii not be his
fault. Acting Governor Distin issued a
beautiful proclamation on Lincoln's
birthday anniversary, and made it a
legal holiday. His Flag Day proclama.
ton is handsome geographically and
brimful of loyalty. 1t follows:
| 1.-The American Flag is universally
recognized as the emblem of liberty and
| justice. Beneath it brave and loyal
hearts beat with pride and devotion. To
the oppressed it affords the inspiration
of hope. To each of our citizens it
guarantees individual liberty and pro-
lection TO personal and property rights
| The fire of patriotism never burned
more brightly than to-day. 1t is there
fore eminently proper that we unitedly
show our regard for the Stars and
Stripes, our love for our common coun-
| try, and commemorate the birthday of
| the Flag on the date of its adoption by
Congress, June IA, 1777.
An approved custom abides of ap-
|
displayed upon public buildings, private
residences and business houses. In ac-
cord with this cOmmendable custom l.
| VIM. l.. Distin, Acting Governor of Alas
ka, do hereby designate Monday, June
IA, A. D. 1909, as Flag Day, and heart
lily recommend general display of Old
Glory thruout the day. Let it appear
in evidence everywhere, over church
and school house, factory and dwelling,
public and private building, and at the
masthead, illustrating our faith in all
| 1t represents. Let the rising sun of
June IA be greeted with salutation of
artillery, the ringing of bells, the blow
ing of whistles of all kinds on land and
water, and the day be hailed with ac-
claim and joy.
Let every loyal citizen contribute in
| the display of the Flag his testimony
that he stands for honor, purity and
| obedience to law.
Let every man, woman and child
pledge their faith in the purposes the
Flag represents and wear a token of
their liberty in modest. but certain, bow
or rosette attached to their dress.
Lessons of patriotism will not be
lost in recognition of this memorable
day The lawless will recognize the
representation of authority, and the
budding spirit of patriotism in youthful
hearts will be expanded into deter
mination to oppose foreign or domestic
foe
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the Great
Seal OF Alaska to be affixed, at Juneau.

FLAG THAT INSPIRED KEY.
Fort McHenry and Key House as They
Look To-day.

AUOh 1O-tity.
The following story of the Flag OF
Fort McHenry was furnished by Col
B. f. Taylor, Commander of the De-
partment of Maryland, Grand Army of
the Republic:
At the northwest corner of Pratt and
Albemarle streets, Baltimore, is the
house where the flag which waved over
Fort McHenry during the British at
was made. 1t was this flag which in
spired Francis Scott Key to write "The
Star Spangled Banner" when he was a
prisoner on a British man-o'-war.
Altho the history of the old house is
known comparatively to few, those who
are acquainted with the facts call it
The Star Spangled House" 1t is
small building with two stories and an
attic, fronting 20 feet on Pratt Street
and 40 feet on Albemarle. There are
three rooms on the first floor three on
the second and three in the attic. Origi-
nally there were but two rooms on the
first floor, but modern requirements de-
manded that the back room be divided
Few changes have been made in the
exterior of the house and both
exterior and interior show its an
tiquity. The staircase is of heavy ma
hogany. The shutters are of heavy
wood with no Stats, and the closets are
built into the walls. The house
is rapidly falling into bad repair,

The 132d Birthday Anniversary of the
F1ag-What the Flag Symbolizes.

The 132d B1rthday Anniversary oil the
F1ag-What the Flag Symbolizes.
Flag Day, June IA.
What does it mean to you?
What does it mean to the State, to
The Nation?
What does it mean to the people
those who go to make up the Nation?
Just sit down and think what this
country would be if the flag of Ger
many, or Russia, or even of England
were floating over it, and then you will
realize what the Flag means to you.
A newspaper printed in Washington
said editorially the other day that our
Flag is very pretty to look at, and that,
of course, it represents the power of
the Nation; but that, after all, it was
only a matter of sentiment, all this fuss
about it, and that the suggestion of
observing any day as the birthday of
the Flag is superfluous, and il did not
consider that it is worth while to
give day to it. Decidedly unpatriotic,
but let il go at that. Call it sentiment
if you will. II is sentiment that moves
the world. Take the sentiment out of
life and you kill desire, aspiration,
ambition. The sentimental love for the
Flag is the outgrowth of our love for
home and country, and for the men
who defended that country and home
and saved the Flag rom stain. The
Flag, which represents the strength of
the Nation, the power of the Govern
ment. the Constitution. the laws, the
life of US, is the symboliZation to us OF
all that we hold dear, and if this be
mere sentiment, then let the carping
critics Of our alteration of the FLAG
blaze away. The more they talk about
the Flag, the better, so they speak no
evil of it.
This sentiment. this love for the Flag,
is growing steadily. We who have
worked long and ardently to bring this
about can see that each year the pa
triotic wave encroaches a little more
upon the rocks of commercialism, and
We shall yet win. We shall have a Flag
freed from every suggestion of adver-
tisement, every taint of unworthy
things, if those who believe this will
only work to make it come true.
The Woman's Relief Corps is the
moving spirit in all this, and began the
movement years before any other or
ganization, but welcomes every aid and
assistance from any direction
Flag Day.
Mrs. Nettie MCGOWAN, National Pa
triotic Instructor, has issued the follow
ing circular letter to every one of the

sary of the birth of the American Flag

snce of this day and this event. The
