THE OLD FLAG.

| Copyright. 1916. by the Mcclure News

1t was June. But the day was cool
| the U shone brightly on the crowds
! that thronged the village streets. Fol
1t was Flag day and the people were
celebrating the event.
In the yard of a tiny cottage in the
midst of a bare field sat old Sergeant
Landon. His faded blue uniform
looked rusty and his gray hair un-
combed. In fact, the whole place had
a look of dilapidation as if everything
We're tumbled to pieces. for there was
no n to see to things abou the house
since Jim, who was but Is, had to so
to work in the factory.
Jim wanted to go in the army. but
ne knew he had to care for his grand
Iather whose small pension would not
afford him support alone for the Ser
geant did not wish to &C to a soldiers
Home as long as he could be with his
only grandchiid. So Jim and the Ser
geant got along the best they could,
but there was not much Of any best
about it.
Blu today the old sergeant was hap
Dy. He could see all about him the
huttering of flags, even though he wa
100 poor to buy one. IF he only had
a new, big one to hang from his
umb porch!
Down the street he could see a
crowd assembling and a boy ran by at
full speed.
General Edwards is coming UP the
street in a few minutes leading a pro-
cesslon," said the boy as he paused for
a moment. Haven't you got a flag?"
The Sergeant shook his head. He
was too poor to buy one, but he did not
let his neighbors know that. Then
soddenly he remembered-he did have
a hag. Stumbling as fast as his aged
legs would carry hin he went into the
house Back under his bed was an
old chest, and this he opened reverent-
~. From its depth he took a bundle
wrapped carefully in brown paper.
Slowly he cut the string and un-
wrapped the. covering. Out on the bed
tumbled a flag. But it was not new
and bright. Grim with the smoke, of
battle; ~blackened by powder stains,
torn by bullets, it hung limp and dusty.
1t is the old flag of my regiment"
whispered the Sergeant, in an awed
voice. The one the boys carried
is not bright, but far more beautiful
for its stains. 1 will hang it Quit
Will be the greatest flag of ALL"
UP the street came the sounds Of
bands, and the tramp of marching
feet, the sidewalks filled with the usual
crowd of small boys preceding a pro-
cession. Under the arching trees the

borne aloft till their fiuttering tops
stirred the leaves.
The old Sergeant stood at his broken
gate with his flag waving. Brightly the
sun shone on his whitening hair and
on the tattered banner which he waved
so prouly. Proudly the men swept
past to the sound of drums and flies,
and then in an open carriage came
Genera Edwards. His eye caught
sight of the old flag.
Halt" he ordered, and the parade
stood still. Without pausing a mo-
ment he dropped from the carriage

the air, and he uttered a savage roar.
Duane stopped in his tracks at the
outer edge of the sidewalk, perhaps a
dozen rods from Everall's door.
It Balm was drunk he did not show
1T in his movement. He staggered for
ward, rapidly closing up the gap. Red,
sweaty, ~disheveled, and hatless, his face
distorted and expressive of the most
malignant intent, he was n Wild and
sinister figure. He had already Killed
a man, and this showed in his de-
meanor. His hands wee extended be-
fore him, the right hand a little lower
n the left. At every step he bel
lowed his rancor in speech mostly
curses. Gradually he slowed his walk,
then halted. a good % PAGES separat-

Bain's right hand stiffened-moved.
Duane threw his gun as a boy throws
a ball underhand-a draw his father
had taught him. He pulled twice. his
shots almost as one. Bain's big Colt

and he was falling. His bullet scat
tered dust and gravel at Duansss feet.
He fell loosely, without contortion.
In a flash all was reality for Duane.
He went Onward and held his gun
ready for the slightest movement on
the part of Balm. But Balm lay upon
his back, n all that moved were his
breast and his eyes. How strangely the
red had left his face-and also the dis
tortion! The devil that had showed in
Ba1n was gone. He was sober and con-
scious. He tried to speak, but failed.
His eyes expressed something pitifully
human. They changed-rolled-set
blankly.
Duane drew a deep breath and

EDISON is FOR WILSON

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 3.-Thos. A.
Edison, inventor, lifelong Republi-
can and supporter of Theodore
Roosevelt for the Republican nomin-
alton, made announcement today of
his intention to vote and work for
Woodrow Wilson. He dictated the
following statement:
mot since 1860 has any campaign
made such direct call on simon pure
Americanism. The times are too Sc
rious to talk or think in terms of Re-
publicanism or Democracy. Ameri-
cans must drop parties and get down
to fundamental principles.
More than any other President in
my memory. Wilson has been faced
by succession of tremendous prob

wrong way would have had disastr-
Gus consequences. Wilson's decisions
decisions so far have not got us into
any serious trouble nor are they like.

HE has given us peace with hon
or. This talk about the United
States being despised is nonsense.
Neutrality is mighty trying policy,
but back of it are international law,
the rights of humanity and the future
of civilization.
with reference to Mexico, I think
the President has acted wisely, justly
and courageously.

SOLDIERS MOVING BOTH, WAYS

The past week has again given Lib
eral taste of military life, soldiers
having passed through here going
both ways since our last issue. Sat
urday Companies A and B Of the Ohio
signal corps passed through going to
the border, and Wednesday the Jer-
sey guardsmen, as well as some from
other states, went through en- route
to their homes.
The Ohio battalion was command
ed by Major L. w. Jaqueth, Ohio
State Signal Corps, and was COM
posed of lat enlisted men, and nine
commissioned officers, and is desig-
mated as First Battalion, Ohio State
Signal Corps. Company A was re-
cruited at Toledo, Ohio, and Company
B at Columbus, Ohio.
In addition to the battalion there
were twenty-three men from the
Third, Fourth and Fifth Ohio Infan-
try, who, having been left behind to
be discharged from the service, were
later, by war department orders, or
dered to join their regiments on the
border. All of these men were stud
ents at the Ohio State University at
Columbus.
The equipment and equippage of
the battalion was carried on sixteen
cars. Many of the cars were loaded
with reel wagons, and others carried
telegraph and telephone equipments.
