Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I am 50
glad so many of you cousins are writing
certain subjects. If YOU will please allow
me space, | would like to say few words
in regard to the history of "Our Flag" At
an early date the Egyptians originated the
idea of standards. The Crusaders added the
crosses to their banners The union Of the
crosses Of st. George, st. Andrew and st.
Patrick marked the union Of England and
Scotland into the kingdom of Great Britain.
and then this kingdom with Ireland. This
is termed the great union flag of Great
Britain and was brought by the colonists t.
America. The first flag made by ths
snake cut into thirteen pieces, with the
motto, Join or die Whey they became
more determined to he free from British
tyranny they placed upon their flag a welt
formed rattlesnake just ready TO strike,
with the motto, ''Don't tread on me- The
serpent is an emblem of wisdom and end
less duration. She never begins an attack
and never surrenders. She never wounds
without warning. The ringing of her rat
ties is enough to startle the bravest man
alive. The next form of the II. s. flag
was the stars aud stripes. 1t nnfurled
when General Burgoyne surrendered. Your
new cousin, MARY RIDDLE.

Dearest Aunt and Cousins: Just make
room for two girls over by our dearest aun..
We never have seen her. but we know she
is sweet. What do You cousins do for
pastime? As for us, we ride mostly. W.
will take for our subject BE Kind TO All
Animals Cousins. just stop and think for
one moment that dear God made them TO
live just He did MS, and when We treat
them wrong we should think about some one
treating us that way. The poor animals
can't make us understand how they feel,
and therefore we should consider them. We
surely do have fine time nowadays, as we
are real cousins. I, Coria am fourteen
years of age. and Inez is fifteen. Cant you
cousins gree with MS that Aunt Julia is the
kindest sweetest and best lady in the
world? We are afraid Of breaking the
rules, SO we better close. Before We 60 we
will say to all the boys and girls, please
