To the thoughtful mind, the AigM of u 1121 1 ion's (lag grows into a vision of the nation itself, and its Ideals, its principle*, its truths and Its history pass- in review before us. We <|o not know how it is. but the sight of a tlag- 'Oiir Hag, particularly when lloatiiiK above the serried ranks of marching men, stirs irie emotions as nothing else does. And as ilags are more mi evidence now than ever before, | it might he well to trace back the his tory of the partcolored emblems that the nations have adopted as theii' own. and Hud out what they really mean.. The lirst Hag to lie .unfurled', and flung ncmaa the heaven*. wiih a Hag of promise? the rainbow, a symbol of Jehovah's prom ise to man. Since then, mail has ever felt the need of some sign or nifiik to distinguish fani ' 1 ly from family, clan from elan, tribe fn in tribe, and nation from nation. At lirst, it is probable that some peculiar j shape of t *1 ill* or spear, some rude de J vice of shield or helmet, n colored feath er. ora dash <?f paint oh the body,' served to distinguish friend from foe. The earliest nation symbols were figures of wood or metal attached to the cud of a |stle and carried so that they could bo seen from a distance. The old Egyp tians. the Persians, and the Romans trsed -device* of this kind; we are famil iar with the Roman Standard, a bronze or brass eagle, with wings outspread and carried in front of the victorious legions. The next step in . the evolution of the Mag was the skin of some ani mal lifted aloft, oil a staff, and the transition from this to some crude sort of a flag was easy and natural. The lirst flags hung from a horizontal cross arm fastened. r?> the top of the pole, such fliigs as we call banners. Hut as these were unhandy to carry, andw ere always gettiug-out of position, tb" fiiiss-bar gradually disappeared, ami the flag was attached to the staff it self.

Tli<- Star* and Stup.s.o i Old (llory, ?k tin* flog of t !??' t'nltcd State* i? sometime* culled, wan born June tin* Mth, 1777, when this resolution was adopted by ,<V>ngre**: "Itcs-dved, that tin* Max "i the thirteen States shall be thirteen K|iip??, alternate white and red, nnd t hut the I'nion be thirteen white titatH on a blue Held." According to Flake, the historian, the first tlug with sUim and stripe* ever Hung to the breexe wax hoisted over Fort Mtauwix in An gu*t 1777. It mp*t have been rather a patched- up affair at* the historian *uy* it wan "hazily extemporised out of ? white shirta ml an old blue clyak, and sume stripes of red cloth from the pet tluoat of- ?? soldier's wife," In 171M Congress ordered that after Mil) I71?r?, the number of stui* be in or caned to fifteen, nnd that two more NtripcH be added to the flag. so that Vermont and Kentucky, who hud just been admitted to the sisterhood of states would uot fee] that they had been slight mi. In IMS Congress realised that if U uew stripe were adAed every time a new Wtute was admitted, the flag would low much of its character aud would soon grow into hungleHomc proportions. So an act wan pawned thut only a new ! star should be udded when a new state wfts admitted, and that the uumher of firilfW should' heneeforth remain tliir teen. In this wa.v the churnctor of the Hag wo* Hxftl for all tiipe, the thirteen stripes of white and red symbolizing the thirteen original states. Since then star* have been added from time to time, un til now they uuuibcr forty-ciglit. Sup pone (hey had been kept on as they be gan. adding stripes ns well um slurs, what it ting we would have today. While there are no federal laws setting forth how tin-. Hag should be displayed and used, custom and usuge have formulated noine rules that are almost Federal in their power. One nf these is that the Hag should always be displayed with t he blue Held uppermost. To display a Hag with the I'nion down is only allowable when a vessel at sen is in distress aud calls for help. When a Hag is hung against a wall, as in a building, the blue Held should always appear in .the upper left hnpd corner, as it faces the audience. When used as u banner hung across streets running, east and west, the blue, field should .point to yn> north; and over streets running north and south, to the east. In lowering a Hag it should never be allowed to touch or trail on tfhe ground ; it shotild not be used as drapery over chairs or tables, and nothing should be placed above or ou it. Flags displayed on staff* over buildings should not ,be hoisted before sunrise, or allowed to Hy after sunset. When the national Hag is passing in l'evfew or ou parade, specta tors, if .seuted. slAuild rise; and if walk ing. should halt and uncover. These are a J few of the things thut we should al ways remember ubont the Hag. We often ; sec those" rules violated, but it is usually from ignorance or thoughtlessness. There is nnother custom that we must never overlook, ami that i.s, never to display the Hag of one nation above that of another. International usage f<rrf>ids such display, and in times nf peace such an act is considered an insult. ('?ugress in 1H17, passed an act in which are provided penalties for the im proper use or desecration of the flag, ind anyone guilty of tearing down or mutilating the Hag will be subject to arrest and punishment.
