The SOMETHING IN A FLAG. tiEUE Is something in a Hag and a little burnished eagle That is more than emblematic--It Is'glorlous; It is regal. 1 You may never live to feel It, you may never be In danger.

You may never visit foreign lands and play the role of stranger, iou may never In tho army check the of an Invader. V'ou may never on the ocean cheer the swarthy cannonador. But If Ihese should happen to you then when age Is on you passing And your big booby boy comes to ask your linal blusslng Vou will tell him: "Eon of mine, be youi station proud frugal. When your country calls her children and you hear the blare of bugle Don't you stop to think of Kansas or quota of your county. Don't so to asking questions, don't you stop for pay or bounty.

But you volunteer at once and you BO where orders a you. And obey them to the letter if they make you or they break you. Hunt that Rue and then slay with it, be, you wealthy or plebeian. Let tbe woman slnR the dirges, scrape the lint and chant the paean. with antl-ivar persuasion And the slay at homes and cowards, E' flu Jy a the like occasion.

Don't" you ever dream ot asking. Is Ihe war a right or wrong you are In It. and your Is to make the light a strong one. And you slay till It Is over, be the war a short or long one. Make amends wben war Is over.

Then me power with you Is lying. Then, If wrong, do ample lusllce. but ttii: flag--you keep it Hying! If the flag goes uown to ruin time will then without a a i Turn tho dial back to midnight, and the world must wait till morning." -Eugene F. Ware (Irotiquill). i N.H,e 3 Ciiiess Si PERSONALITY.
