and sorrow. Aunt ---, ! have sat
on papa's knee many a time in the
past and admired him as he told me
OF his enlistment and OF his eIper-
lence when he stepped out for the
flag in '9s. And as | grew older my
desire to be like papa grew with me.
so, nearly forgetting my dear moth
er, I stepped out for Uncle Sam. But

she worries about me. And II is for
her, alone, | worry, not myself
But Aunty. II do go cross !
will die knowing that l left the best
father, the sweetest mother, the most
glorious country-and died for the
protection Of the most honored flag
