THE STAR-SPANoLED BANNER.
BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.

BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.
o say, can you see, by the dawn's early
light.
What SO proudly we hail'd at the twi-
lights last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the clouds Of the fight,
Der the ramparts we watched were so
gallantly streaming!
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there:
O saw. does that star-spangled banner
yet wave
Der the land Of the free and the home
OF the brave?
On that shore dimly seen through the
mists OF the deep.
Where the foes naughty host In dread
silence reposes.
What Is that which the breeze. DER the
towering steep,
As 1t fitfully blows, now conceals. now
discloses?
Now It catches the CLEAN OF the morn
ing's first beam,
Tn full glory reflected now shines on
the stream;
,Tis the star-spangled banner; o long
may 1t wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave!
And where is that band who so vaunt-
tnr1y cw0ra
That the havoc of war and the battles
confusion
A home and a country should leave lis
no more?
Tbe;r blood has washed out their foul
footsteps pollution.
Nh refuge could save the hirelinS and
slave
From the terror Of flight or the gloom
, of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph doth wave
o.or the land of the free and the home
of the brave.
O. thus be it ever, when freemen shall
stand
Retween their loved homes and the
wars desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heav'n-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and
preserved lis nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause
it is just,
And this be our motto-"1n God is our
trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave.

reflection you are falling into a deli

You listen, and wonder whether the in

illumination as you never expect to

Tho Day We Celebrate.

II there is any day more dear than
another to the heart OF every patriotic
citizen of this beautiful land OF ours.
1t is independence Day-Fourth OF July
the day we celebrate as commemor-
ating one OF the most heroic and PRAISE
worthy struggles for liberty In the his
tory OF the world.
After years OF encouragement and
defeat, years when hope seemed dead.
and when the undertaking OF the hand
full Of brave men appeared In every way
too much for them. the light camo.
the clouds broke away, and the sum
shine Of success streamed in upon their
almost broken and dismembered hearts
and fortunes.
With literally nothing left to begin
with. with everything sacrificed upon
tho altar OF their country. with the Zoe
formidable. rich. respected on land and
sea and known and tried OF all men,
the outlook for the Colonists was dark
and disheartening almost beyond pre-
cedent. But then their sublime cour-
age never faltered. their determination
knew no yielding. their hopes were
high and their ambitions limitless.
Sturdlly, cheerlly and bravely they
went to work to reconstruct and re-
habilitate out Of the wreck Of the dis
integrated remains of n monarchial out
post an independent republic-a home
for the homeless. and n land and .
country that should be Of the people
and for the people.
Who shall tell of the hard work, the
dark days. the weary hours. the ach-
ing heads and tired hands that this
day. this red-letter day, the day Of all
the days Of all the years Of the history
OF this great nation. represent! Who
shall tell OF the anxieties. the appre-
tensions, the sleepless hours Of dark
ness and the alert hours Of daylight
through which that unequaled band OF
patriots passed during the first months
after the declaration Of Independence.
when they threw OF at once and for
ever the British yoke. denied and de-
fed the mother country. flung away
their swaddling clothes and sprang into
the arena to fight-again, II need bc.
to suffer, to toll, to strive to develop
and to bring into a glorious fruition

American independence!

The little kingdom of Korea. whose
afyairs furnished the ostensible prov

chin, and whose king has recently
been under the guardianship OF Russia
has passed under what is practically
"a Joint protectorate of Japan and Rus

ed an agreement by which each is to
station a limited force of troops in ko-

Korea financial aid; Japan is to con-

The Commissioners Say the In

Joshua Walbridge and Charles Z. No
BILE, the commission appointed by Gov
ernor Adams to investigate the recent
Indian troubles in the vicinity Of Lily
Park, filed their report with the Gov
ernor yesterday:
The report is an almost complete vim
dication of the Game Wardens, and
shows that the Indians were alone re-
sponsible for the bloody conflict in
Routt County last month, in which sew
eral of their number were killed.
The finding of the commission is that
the Indians were the aggressors. The
Indians had been slaughtering game
promiscuously according to the testi-
mony, for several weeks. They told the
settlers they wanted to fight the buck
skin police"
The report says in substance that had

assembled at Thompson's ranch during
the night previous to the fight and
dropped down in the camp the next
day, before the Indians were aware of
their presence the Wardens would have
Utes, and the story of the conflict would
have been that whites instead of In
dians had been killed.
Warden Wilcox and the men under
him are commended in the report for
their bravery and the manner in which
they protected the rights of the set
tiers and upheld the laws and dignity
