My father's ca) was shot from his head and ho was wounded m the shoulder, but his act, I have been told, helped to save the day. . pat impressed me greatly-the fact thut my father had risked his life to keep the flag aloft Surely I thought in my chile 1 h brain, as I tried to reison it all out. it must be something very, very great, and it would be a very, very wicked little girl or boy who could see the noble banner and fail to salute it.

J have seen many different forms of salute, and have read of many others, but to my mind there is none sweeter nor quainter than the one employment by a noble old lady and a iittle child, bowing low from the waist, with the right hand just raisd to the forehead, then brought down to the right side in grateful and loving salute to the greatest of all flags the Star-Spangled Banner. - Earl Marble.
