VI cavalry standard probably being the first in

earliest nags were of a religious character They
usually bore cross, and the crusaders sailed TO
the East with the red cross of their patron saint
as their banner
Interesting is the story of the flag and the
better to understand it It is necessary to go back
several centuries. Prior to the Revolutionary
war the nag generally used in the American colo.
MES was of course that of Great Britain though
at different times in different colonies. minor
variations were introduced. The first English
nag to appear in what is now the United States
was the red cross of st. Georgia red cross upon
white feld-and under this emblem various at
tempts were made to establish colonies in the
new world. In 1906! after the union between
England and Scotland, the white cross Of ST. An
drew was added and the field was changed from
white to blue Under this flag the Mayfower
sailed; under 1t were established the first perma-
nent Anglo-Saxon settlements in the new world
and the flag was generally used in the colonies,
when any flag was used at ALL down to 1907
Previous to this in England the flag underwent a
change. The field was changed from blue to
crimson and the crosses Of ST. George and St
Andrew, which had covered the entire field, were
placed in the upper left hand corner In 1907
Great Britain adopted for the whole realm the
union flag of st. James. During the early part of
the Revolutionary period each colony used an
emblem Of Its frequently the coat-of-arms
Of the colony with the addition Of some such
notices "Qui transtulit sustinet" or George
Rex and the Liberties of America" One flag
which often appeared from 1707 to 1776 was
known as the pine tree" flag, and under it some
Of the battles Of the Revolution on land and sea
were fought Both at this time and earlier the
rattlesnake was favorite device tanners ap-
peared bearing representations of rattlesnakes
with 13 rattles, representing the 13 colonies In
1775 the Pennsylvania Journal published an en-
blem representing rattlesnake in 10 parts, or
joints, each OF which bore the initials of one of
the colonies, and beneath the whole was printed

Awkward mistakes occur sometimes
through falling into certain manner
isms of expression. A parson had a
habit Of frequently saying for years
and years and years" in the course
Of a sermon. He was preaching on
the Prodigal Son, and spoke of him sit
ting down in that far-off land thinking
of the home that he had not see for
years and years and years"
That was all right, but presently he
spoke of the welcome to his old home,
and Of the calf which his father had
kept in anticipation of that happy day
Yes" said he, dropping into his IA
vorite cadence for the winding up of a
sentence: Yes. the calf which he had
kept for years and years and years."
Then somebody laughed!

A SONG OF THE FLAG.
(By Denis A. McCarthy.)

(By Denis A. Mccarthy
Here is my love to you, flag Of the free,
and flag of the tried and true
Here is my love to your streaming stripes,
and your stars in a field of blue!
Here is my love to your silken folds wher-
ever they wave on high,
For you are the flag of land for which
t were sweet for a man to die!
Native or foreign are all as one when
cometh the day of strife;
What is the dearest gift we can give for
the flag but human life?
Native or foreign are all the same when
the hearts blood reddens the earth
And native or foreign, t is love like this is
the ultimate test of our worth!
Native or immigrant-here is the task to
which we must summon our powers:
Ever unsullied to keep the flag in peace as
in wars wild hours
Selfishness, narrowness, graft and greed,
and the evil that hates the light,
All these are foes of the flag today, all
these we must face and fight.
Symbol of hope to me and mine, and to all
who aspire to be free!
Ever your golden stars may shine, from the
east to the western sea!
Ever your golden stars may shine, and ever
t4A your stripes may CLEAN
To lead us on from the deeds we do to
the greater deeds that we dream!
Here is our love to you flag of the free, and
flag of the tried and true;
Here is our love to your streaming stripes,
and your stars in field of blue!
Native or foreign, we're children all of the
land over which you fly,
And native or foreign we love the land for
which it were sweet to die!

but with a union of 13 stars on a blue ground,
representing a new constellation" According
to tradition, the first flag after the new design
was made by Mrs. Betsy Ross in Philadelphia.
There Is much uncertainty both as regards the
origin and as regards the first use by the army
and navy of this fag-probably however it
was first used at Fort Stanwix on August 6, 1777.
No change made in the flag until January,
1894, when two new states Vermont and Ken
lucky, having been admitted to the Union Gin
1871 and 1892 respectively congress enacted
that after May /, 1895, "the flag of the United
States be Is stripes alternate red and white, that
the Union be Is stars, white in blue field"
No further change was made until 1918, when
five new states Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, In
diana and Mississippi having been admitted to
the Union, congress enacted on April A. that
from and after the fourth day of July next the
flag of the United States be 13 horizontal stripes,
alternate red and white, that the union have 20
stars white in blue field,' and that on the
admission of every state into the Union one
star be added to the union of the flag and that
such addition shall take effect the fourth of
July next succeeding such admission" This law
still remains in force. The manner in which the
stars were to be arranged in the union of the
flag was not prescribed and ever since flags have
differed considerably in this respect. The rule
followed in our first expansion flags of 1875 Of
arranging the stars so that the whole number
stars began to appear on the flag, and the stars
were placed in rows. This is the form of the
flag today, whose stars tell the marvellous story
of our continental expansion and whose folds
voice the spirit of freedom and justice land
and sea.
Hail brightest banner that floats on the gale!
Flag of the country of Washington, hail!
Red are thy stripes with the blood of the brave;
Bright are thy stars as the sun on the wave;
Wrapt in thy folds are the hopes of the free.
Banner Of Washington! blessings thee!
Traitors shall perish. and treason shall fail;
Kingdoms and thrones in thy glory grow pale;
Thou shalt live on and thy people shall own
Loyalty's sweet, when each heart is thy throne:
Union and freedom thine heritage be
Country of Washington, blessings on thee!
On July 4, 1912, by the addition of two new
stars, one for each of the two new states OF
Arizona and New Mexico the total of stars
reached 4S and the end Of the chapter was
reached There can be no more states admitted
to the Union, all the territories of continental
United States have now reached statehood and
the only possibility of additional stars being
added is the partition Of Texas into two or morGl
states which was reserved as constitutional
right by that state upon its coming into tho
Union

described to congress as follows, flag used by
the commanderin-chief of the American navy, "a
yellow flag with a lively representation of a rat
tlesnake in the middle in the attitude of going to
strike, and with these words underneath, Don't
tread on me-"
On January 2, ITS, flag was raised at
George Washington's headquarters at Cambridge
Mass, where the Continental army was then sta
toned. This flag retained the crosses of St
George and st. Andrew of Great Britain and in
addition had a field 13 stripes, alternate red
and white, to represent the 13 colonies Finally
on June Ia, 1777, the Continental congress adopt
