Hats Off to the Flag.

“The greatest tribute 1 ever saw paid to the stars and stripes,” says Col. Bradley, past commander of the Massachusetts Grand Army, “was not on American soil. When the ancient and honorable artillery landed at Liverpool on its visit to England in 1896, the line of march "was crowded witli over 106,000 persons. When we unfolded ‘Old Glory’ we were struck with surprise at the cheers which went up from those English people. As we marched along, every man from the Prince of Wales .to the lowest bootblack took off his that while the stars and stripes passed. I would like to see that happen once in Boston or New York before I die.”—Boston Record. Call at The Democrat office and get one of the new style pencil holders with the perpetual calendar.
