A etniiment hnngs around the standard and the one entrusted with Its custody aa they are symbolic of the patriotism and herolxm of the army. The capture of the colors of the enemy is regarded as a signal act of bravery, and on the other hand the loss of the standard arouses a feeling of shame. Many a bloody and hotly contested tight has occurred over the possession of the flag of the other side. Paul Jones , Paul Jones onceasafd: "The flag and I are twins. and true to his words he stayed by the flag, and when the Bon Homme Richard went down with her Immortal dead the flag they had so gallantly defended served for their winding sheet It was not captured by the enemy, but went down with the men. and those who survived declared It to be "a glor'ous sight New Stars Prom the thirteen original stars in the early days our flag has now forty, eight. Gradually the number of stars In the colors has grown. When In 1803 It was raised In New Orleans the French marched 'away In silence like a sort of deathwatch because they knew oun Nation was growing, and though we have had a number of disputes with that country there has always been a sort of friendship which CVHHY found an echo In General penhing's words at-- Lafayette's gravS'when he said: "Lafayette, we are here! In May of 111 the State of Massachusetts set up the colors on Its schools and gave a remarkable spontaneous proof of fealty. Flags In those days were not so eaMly obtained and the ones which floated ever the Massachusetts school houses had to be spun by hand, yet the women never allowed the colors te be missing. Indeed. they might well be called the color bearers for the children who studied in those log school houses, It was the sight of the colors still' flying from the flagstaff at Fort McHenry that caused the birth of our d immortal Banner." In 1847 more territory was acquired by the color for during the Mexican War a great number of people were taken Into our glorious country. It was at (Jhapultepec that Robert E. Lee took charge of the colors 'of ' the 8th Infantry, had them borne to the top of the palace, the Mexican flag lowered, and our own Stars .and Stripes planed on the flag"Star-8pangle- pole, . Civil War Heroes Then came the Civil War, acd even though the colors at Fort Sumter were tired upon the South loved the flag, and though Old Glory was many times Insulted south of Maspn and Dixon'S line, there was.a memory of the time - t"' at the head of the forty-seve- n men a ho were left out of the two hundred and slxty-tw- o who went Into the fight, tr w Pennsylvania, always In ihe foreground la the 'Civil War, had some heroic color bearers at Gettysburg and one regiment has honored Its color sergeant with a handsome granite monument known as The Fallen Color Bearer, which shows a wounded man on the. ground still holding the colore aloft. At tha critical luomeu At the Bloody Angle when Armleteed fell, he died with. the color of the Pennsylvania regiment waving over V D- - .ivl hla body. At Antletam, which was regarded aa tha bloodiest battle of the War, Pennsylvania baa a granite statue to color bearer of one of her regiments which shows the heroic fig- , when It was defended by Washington. Greene, Morgan and Andrew Jackson. The 8outh tried to imitate the flag In her new one under which she fought so gallantly, but the Stars and Stripes became the flaming torch of the war for the people of the North, and the color bearer was always surrounded by soldiers whose devotion to the standard became a sort of religion and the heroic struggles around these color bearers In battle have been honored In bronxe and marble on almost every battlefield. At Chickamauga a huge bronze memorial has been raised to the men who fell while carrying the flag of a regiment of Pennsylvania Infantry, and the members who are still living will attest to the heroiqm of those men who 'died while defending the All the States who engaged color In the conflict for the Union at Qettya- burg had thrilling tales to tell of the Wisbravery of their colors bearer consin people are still proud of the work of Meredith's Iron Brigade, the advance guard of the Army of the Potomac, twhen they met that tong column of gray who were lighting for what 'they thought was right. Nearly a thlrd-.p- f the Wisconsin regiment fell before their guns and soon the last color beaters word swept away. In the fnks of another regiment of the same State was a private a mere boy, who seised the flag and yelling to his dqmrades to come on. rallied the remaining members, and an onslaught waamade on the Con- - federafe lines with more or less sue-ce- a ' The men from Michigan came Into the fray with the color sergeant bearing aloft the Stars and Striper. Boon he was bayoneted and the flag In ins hands of the enemy, but a young Urion man soon pinioned Its captor to the ground and the flag was saved and became a rallying point for the men. We all recall the story of that Minnesota regiment which went Into the fight with that gallant color bearer who even when he was dying never let the colors touch the 'ground, and how they were passed to several men, each being killed or wounded In turn, and how a corporal' alone of the color guard survived and carried Old Glory ure of a man bearing tha colors al.'ft.
