PRECIOUS OLD FLAG
Relic Of Continental Army, Recently
Found, Seems to Have Been
MiracuIousIy Preserved.

So great was the interest shown in
the battle flag Of the Continental army,
found between the walls Of an old
building, that it is probable an eff
fort will be made to have the flag dis
played in some public building as a
permanent memorial Of the Revolution,
says the New York Times.
The banner was found wrapped in
the buff and blue uniform coat Of a
Continental soldier. Moths had con-
sumed much Of the wooden garment,
but the flag, being made Of linen, is
still in excellent condition.
The flag was found by Michael La
Vista in an old building which he
owns. He took the flag to B. M.

In another war for Liberty or Death"
According to Mr.. Shepard the flag
was probably carried in the battle Of
White Plains. Reference to local his
tories showed that flag of the same
design had been carried in that battle.
The flag, which is well preserved,
though bearing signs of age, measures
"a by 80 inches. It's white cloth has
been yellowed by time. Across the top
Is the inscription in black, Liberty or
Death" the words of Patrick Henry.
Below the motto is a pair Of crossed
daggers and above them a Liberty

So they beat against the portal
Man and woman, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and smiled
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain,
Now beheld the soul of freedom
All unCOnquered rise again.
Aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellman, old and gray;
He was weary Of the tyrant
And his iron sceptered sway;
So he sat with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell.
When his eyes should catch the signal,
Very happy news to tell.
See! see! the dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line.
AS the boy beside the portal
Looks forth to give the sign!
With his small hands upward lifted,
Breezes dallying with his hair.
Hank! with deep. clear intonation,
Breaks his young voice on the air.

List the boys strong joyous cry!
ring" he shouts aloud, ring. Grand
pa!
Ring! o, Ring for Liberty"
And straightway, at the signal
Inc old beilman lifts his hand,
And sends the good news, making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted! What rejoicing!
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom ruffied
The calm gliding Delaware!
How the bonfires and the torches
Illumed the nights repose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair liberty arose!

Rang OUT LIBERTY
Inspiration to Younger Generation to
Remember That Boy Gave Signal for
Peal That Reverberated to the Ends
of the Earth.

I'D you know that a boy, q
young lad, the grandson of the
old bellman at the state house,
Philadelphia, helped to pro-
claim the liberty of the United States ?
Every boy in the country should be
proud that boy like him was the one
chosen to give the signal to "Proclaim
liberty throughout the land and unto
all the inhabitants thereof!
The story of this great day is told in
charming manner in the verses that
follow:
There was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners
Where they whispered each to each.
And the sweat stood on their temples.
With the earnestness of speech.
As the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore.
So they beat against the Statehouse.
So they surged against the door;

being occupied as saloons.
