Circumstances Which Suggested the Com.
position of This Popular Song.
This patriotic song by Francis Scott
Key was written in 1911 during the
bombardment of Fort McHenry. By
authority of President Madison, Key
had gone to the British feet under a
flag of truce to secure the release of
his friend, DIR. Beanes, who was de-
tanned prisoner on the flagship. The
British agreed to the release, but not
until after the proposed attack on
Fort McHenry, which the Admiral
boosted he would carry in few
hours. Key was detained in the
English feet with his friend, the ship
that bore them being anchored at the
mouth OF tho Patapsco, within full
view of the fort. They watched the
flag of the fort during the entire day,
and when the night prevented
them from seeing it they still
remained on deck, noticing every
shell from the moment it was
fired until it fell. The bombardment
suddenly ceased some time before day,
but they knew not whether the fort
had surrendered or the attack been
abandoned. At the first dawn Of dav
their glasses were turned to the fort.
and, with thrill of delight, they saw
that "our flag was still therew The
song was begun by Key in the fervor
of the mement, and few lines hastily
jotted down on the back of letter.
with brief notes that would help in re-
calling the others. He finished it in
the boat on the way to the shore, and
wrote it out as it now stands immedi-
ately upon reaching Baltimore. In an
hour after it was placed in the hands
of the printer il was on the street, was
hailed with enthusiasm, and at once
took its place as a National song. The
music to which it was adapted is an
old French air, long known in England
as "Anacreou," and afterward in Amer
lea as adams and Liberty. Note,
and queries.

An Ungrateful Horse.

One spring morning Il farmer went

This, said the farmer, gazing at
