WILLIAM PLUMB. 

 Life In Cuba seems to agree well 

 Willi William Plumb, as I think our 

 many readers who know that gentle- 

 man win asrop aftor looking at tho 

 portrait which appears herewith. Mr. 

 Plumb l« at present on a brief visit to 

 New York and Boston and the photo- 

 Kraph wa.s taken Just before he started 

 from Havana. Mr. Plumb Is atlU a 

 tsardener at heart but bis Cuban oll-

else at the present time and we cer- 

 tainly hope he will make that million 

 which he has in prospect as president 

 of the Cuban Standard Petroleo 

 Company. He also fills the position 

 of treasurer of an investment com- 

 pany, the president of which Is Charles 

 H. O'.Veill, in the dooryard of whose 

 mansion was taken the photograph of 

 the beautiful specimen of the Royal 

 Palm (Oreodoxa regia) which Is the 

 subject of our cover illustration for 

 tills week's issue. Cuba is the native 

 habitat of this most graceful of all the 

 palm family. 



Mr. Plumb's grandson, Alfred C. 

 Kayser. is in the service, with the 

 108th Engineer Corp.

THE FLAG. 



There's no coward stripe upon It, 

 And no shame Is written on It, 

 All the blood that's In Its crimson 



Is the blood of manhood true; 

 There's no base and brutal glory 

 Woven sadly In Its story. 

 It's a bright flag, and a right flag. 



And the flag for me and you. 



It's the flag without a fetter; 

 It's the flag of manhood better; 

 It has never done n mean thing. 



Never waved above a brute; 

 Greed and hate It never shielded, 

 I'nto wrong It never yielded. 

 It's a flnc flag, a divine flag 



That in reverence we salute. 



It's the flap of all the glory 

 That is written In man's story; 

 It's the emblem of his freedom 



And the hope of men oppressed ; 

 It asks no disgraceful duty, 

 .Never stains with shame Its beauty; 

 It's a pure Dag. and a sure flag. 



It is our flag and the best.
