ing to this country do not retain the
saving old country notions, the small
household economies, the peasant
fashions beyond the first generation,
and usually not that long. Notwith-
standing the claim that the poor are
growing poorer with us, that the num-
Der of the destitute and unemployed is
increasing, there has been no percepti-
BILE change in American habits of liv-
ing; no signs of growing disposition
to economy.
These conditions are merely set forth
without Tote or comment. The fate
of the instructor in domestic economy
in this country is not a happy one.
Probably the most universally despised
American is Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of
Boston, who publishes recipes for
making piece of neck cut off Just
back of the horns as good as sirloin.
The American answer to all this is:
'We don't eat neck" Some foreigners
thought to grieve us by saying that
Americans had forty religions and
only one SOUP" but to this the bold
American spake up and made reply:
I'VE can have all the religions we
please; and, as for SOUP it is cheap
stuff made to save waste and bones,
and one is enough" The American is
not saver nor an economist in any
line, and for the extreme economist he
has pretty household colloquial name
for him, and that is "hog." Ephraim

tends to its cultivation. There is very
little "high farming" in the United
States; that laborious cultivation, that
utilization of every foot of ground seen
in the older countries-in Germany, in
France, in Belgium, etc. No Amer
lean climbs mountains and is lowered
over cliffs to cut little grass, as in
Switzerland. Every township in the
United States, east, west, north and
south, has its waste place. There is
not county in the United States that
is cultivated to its full capacity. 1t is
safe to say that this is true of Lam
caster county, Pa, counted the richest
agricultural county in the union. The
right of way of the railroad is not
utilized, not one acre in a hundred, and
that one fact illustrates the indiffer-
ence, the carelessness, the wasteful-
ness, of the American as far as land Is
concerned.
The American is good and free
liver; he has natural bill of fare to
draw from unequaled in any other
country, but he is not careful liver
He does not make the best use of his
material, and he throws away more
than the citizen of any other civilized
country eats OF this fact he is per-
fectly aware and is proud of it. There
is the utmost equality in the matter of
eating and drinking in this land. The
poorest man will not eat what the
richest would refuse. We have not in
this country, God be praised, any peas

There is ''pent-up Utica" and there

in the world. There are empires
which, by counting in deserts and
bowling wildernesses, may make up a
greater territorial area in acres or
square miles, but there is no other
country with such a civilized acreage.
The United States does not know, how
ever, how much land it still owns, and
nobody knows the actual area of the
United States. The country,as whole,
has never been surveyed and mapped.

1t is this vastness, the vague bigness

most wasteful and careless people in
the world about land. What is an acre

and mol over it a lifetime, possibly at
a loss and disadvantage, when he can
move any day to more land and better

lack of sentiment that attaches a man
to the acres his father and his grand
father titled. He leaves them with
joy, and not with grief, and goes
thousand miles to take up" other
acres, without associations, 1t is true,
but just as good in his estimation. In

little over year afterward fresh
from this victory, he was placed in
command of Fort McHenry. Here he
was destined to meet men whose COM
handing officer had gained his epau-
let's in the service of the greatest gem
eral of that age-the duke of Yelling
ton. Sir Alexander Cochran, in his
dispatch to the secretary of the admi-
rally, dated September II, 1914, says:
$50 soon as the army moved forward
! hoisted my flag on the Surprise, and
with the remainder of the frigates,
bomb-sloops and the rocket ship passed
further up the river. At daybreak
next morning-the 13th-the bombs
having taken their stations within
shell range, supported by the Surprise,
with the other frigates and sloops,
opened their fire upon the fort that
protected the harbor." Admiral Alex
ander Cochran was in command of the
Royal Oak, while his son, Sir Thomas
Cochran, commanded the Surprise, to
which the admiral transferred his flag
in going up the Batapsco river
Francis Scott Key and his friend, Mr..
Skinner, were on board the Surprise
until shortly after the battle, when
they were transferred to their own
vessel, in which they'had set sail from
Baltimore. Here they remained with
their own private sailors and detach-
ment of marines from the Surprise as
guard. 1t was at this time on his own
vessel that Francis Scott Key wrote
the "Star Spangled Banner" and not
on the Mindon, as is generally sup
posed. Judge fancy received this
statement from Keys own lips, who
told him that he had written his poem
In a moment Of excitement, when the
enemy was hastily retreating to their
ships.
The weeks following this great vic
tory were very proud onesto the Balti-
moreans, for though at the lombard
ment were troops from Pennsylvania
and Virginia, the great burden OF the
engagement was borne by Baltimore
men. The strain, however, OF that
great fight, and the dreadful response
bility of the occasion, were too much
for Col. Armistead. 1t left him with
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1895-10-04

an affection of the heart from which
he died four years later, in his adopted
city, Baltimore. He knew, even after
the victory was gained, that some en-
envy might press against him the
charge of disobedience to his superior
officer, and if this had been done it
might have led to other complication,
but as nothing succeeds like success"
everything was forgotten in general
rejoicing.
The flag was presented to Lieut.. Col.
George Armistead by the government.
It bears upon one of it's stripes his
name and the date of the lombard
ment in his own handwriting. At his
death he bequeathed it to his widow,
who left it TO her daughter, Mrs. Will
liam Stuart Appleton. When Mrs. APP
pleton died it was bequeathed to her
son, in whose possession it now is.
The banner is thirty-two feet long
by twenty-nine feet wide. In all prob
ability it was originally forty feet long,
and it's great width is due to the fact
of its having fifteen stripes instead of
thirteen. In color it is almost as
bright as it was some eighty-four years
ago, but the bunting has become very
worn, and some twenty years since IL
was stitched on canvas to insure it's
preservation. 1t will be observed that
there is one large hole it, where a
bombshell passed through it, and 1t is
torn in other places by fragments of
shell.
It will also be noticed that there is
quite large piece out of one corner,
as If cut. This, believe, really was
done, as / remember hearing from my
mother that brave soldier, who had
served under her father, on his death
bed wrote and requested Mrs. Armi-
stead to let him have piece to wrap
around his dead body. The request
was complied with, but it can be read
