AYOUNGCOURlER
ATAlE OF THE CIVIL WAR
BY
BLUE G, BARD,
CHAPTER VII.

AS the men arose from the table,
Black Whiskers said, "now j want
a hatchet."
"Ohl Sis Fanny, what is he going
to do now," said poor trembling
Ida.
"Rob a bee stand" said Fanny,
who had seen him while supper was
in preparation, viewing the bee
gums under the Althea hedge.
''That is just it madam, and 1
must have a bucket to carry some
honey to camps with me-"
"I like fresh honey too" said
Fanny, knowing it was best to treat
the men as If they were friends, and
will speak for some now.
"YOu shall all have as much as
you want" he said, as II it all be-
longed to him.
All hands white and blace follow
ed him. to the ;Altheas, and whileshe
was taking of the caps, the sisters
renewed their conversation with the
yourg man about the retreating
army. They told him how they had
left their home with no one to pro-
tect it, and asked il he thought 1t
would be robbed or burned.
He asked the direction, and dis
tances, and after studying awhile
said, mo I don't think your house
is in danger, but there is one near
by, that will hear from us tonight"
They knew that he meant cousin
Wills quarters, but were silent be-
cause powerless to do anything. II
cousin Will and Paul escaped them
they would be thankful.
Black Whiskers had appropriated
the cedar water bucket, and now
come up with it filled with honey,
while in tin pan he had quantity
of beautiful white comb.
Then began wrangle about the
bucket; Mrs. Adkins saying he could
not take it off, and he saying he
must. He finally gained her con-
sent by promising that he would re-
turn it himself next morning. Mrs.
Adkins had no idea he would. Fan
ny knowing that contention would
do no good, told her cousin that she
would stand for the man. She
would insure he would return the
bucket as he had promised, which
he did early next morning to the
surprise of all.
BY the time the last hoof-beat was
heard down the road, as the unwel-
come visitors took their departure,
the clock was striking three. All
were weary enought to sleep soundly
till sunrise. Then the family and
friends arose to gather around the
fire, and talk over the events of the
night before. 81

Of how America" came to be written
is OF interest to all who dwell under
the folds Of Old Glory.
About the year 1881 Lowell Mason
was a cashier in Boston bank and a
well known composer OF church music.
He devoted much time to training Sun
day school children to sing. using such
songs and hymns adapted to his pur-
pose az he could secure.
he became acquainted with Samuel
Francis Smith. then divinity student
at Andover. Mr. Mason thought that
his young friend had the gift Of writ
ing songs and hymns helpful to him
In his work. By chance Mr.. Mason
came into possession of number Of
German music books containing chill
dren's songs. He turned them over to
Mr.. Smith. who fell In with the tune Of
"My Country. 'Tis Of Thee" He no.
ticed that the words In German were
patriotic and proceeded to compose the
hymn now known everywhere under
the name America"

hymn at Fourth of July celebration
In the Park Street church in Boston In
1882. What was done In Boston soon
found its way everywhere, and in time
the hymn became the national song.
Samuel Francis Smith was born In
Boston In 1906 and was graduated from
Harvard in the class Of '29, Of which
oliver Wendell Holmes was also a
member. At a reunion of the class
many years after DIR. Holmes, who had
been the lifelong friend of the Rev. s.

Some think that children should not
be biased in their religious ideas, but
left to choose for themselves. 1t is
nice but impracticable theory. The
truth is that the world and their own
minds are full of the things which bias
in the direction of evil, and as between
bias toward evil and bias toward
good we must decide, and decide very
early. Anyhow, God seeks the opening
bud. not the whitening leaf.-Presby-

ready for her folks when they should
come.
Cousin Ellen and Aunt Mary were
anxious that all should spend the
day with them, for they feared the
blue coats would visit them again,
and they had rather have company.
Mrs. Kate was equally as anxious
to get home, and see the state of
Of her dwelling. The children were
as happy as if there was peace and
plenty everywhere.
AS they came into the back yard,
Aimee came to the dining room
door and said "come in here you all
and eat yore brerkfast fust thing
while it's hot then it'll be time
enough to look in de rest of de
rooms"
"Are things torn up much Aimee?"
"Ebry thing upside down, but I
didn't take time to look much. De

know how much dey tuck away wild

"Course they took off lots" said

her dead husbands picture in it, and
the only picture she had Of him too.
She just begged, and begged for the

they could be so mean," the boy
continued with flashing eyes, MRS.
Johnson cried just like she did
when De Johnson was buried"
Well, Well son, we can't help our

seated themselves around the table,
let us be thankful that it is no worse
we still have our lives, and our
home. Aimee mas a bright fire and
a hot breakfast for us, and the sun
is doing its best to make things look
cheerful"
But there was no cheerful talk
around that breakfast table. The
older person were anxious to know
if their friends were all safe. How
many horses how much meat, and
other things had been carried away
or destroyed; whether any of the
neighbors had lost their slaves, for
1t was frequent occurance now for
slaves to pack their clothing and
leave in the night, waen the soldiers
were camped near by.
AS they were about to rise from
the table, Jack, who had been out
news hunting appeared at the din
ing room door, looking as if he had
something to tell.
well Jack, what bad news? Did
the yankees get your Marse VIII

THE NATIONAL HYMN
HOW A DIVINITY STUDENT WROTE

Rev. Samuel Francis Smith Got the
idea From German Music - FIRST
Sung In Boston-Touchcd II Chord
In His Countrymen's Hearts.
Seventy years ago this Fourth CT
July the children of Park Street church,
Boston, celebrating the day Of Amer
ican independence, sang for the first
time the immortal national hymn,
"America" C'M4 lntry, 'Tis OF
Thee'0. The fer .ncs spread like
wildfre all over, j, and succeed
ing generations family growing
millions have g. ia the anniver-
sary of the day ,lal freedom.
1t has kept pace with the march of
the country's growth and has been
adopted as the national hymn of eighty
millions of freemen. How grandly the
chorus has grown in seventy years!
From the lisping treble of the children
of long ago it will swell in grand vol
ume this Fourth of July from millions
of throats across a vast continent and
rise from the islands of the seas which
girt the two hemispheres.
When the civil war came, its patriotic
words burned deep in the hearts Of
men. The Yankee soldiers sang "Amer-
ica" together around camp and bivou-
ac, and "My Country, 'Tis of Thee"
was heard in swamp and forest, behind
redoubts and from hospital cots when
fighting was over.
Its words have been chanted from
the decks of ships, under the stars and
stripes, in rough weather and calm, in
battle and in peace, and the Rev. DR..
Smith himself. author of the hymn,
seated among the dead remains Of
Pompeii, heard a band of American
tourists lift its chorus to the sky.

COTTON GINNERIES

A RE always put down as extra haz-
n ardous risks by insurance compan-
les. The risk Is so great with many
ginhouses as to make the rate almost
prohibitive. When fire starts in GIN
merry the flames usually spread so rap
idly as to get beyond control before
scarcely anything can be done with the
fire fighting apparatus nearest at hand.
Every ginhouse should be equipped
with two or more No. UTICA FIRE
EXTINGUISHERS. These machines
are Of small calibre and not very ex-
pensive, but they do cover lot of fire
surface and put out fire quicker than
the wettest water could possibly do,
and the perfect mixing Of the acids in
the Utica reduces the damage to the
minimum. I will be pleased to show
the Utica in operation to any parties
interested, who will call on me at The

THEY WERE PuzzLED.-At sunset last
evening a peculiar combination of wind
currents whipped the shoulder on a
dark cloudbank on the southwestern
horizon of Wichita and carried 1t
northward until other wind currents
stopped it. In the contact OF the op-
posing winds the cloud fragment was
transformed Into a perfect =. question
mark, which hung dark in front of an
effulgent setting sun for nearly ten
minutes. While the average citizen
gazed on the silhouette with admira-
ton and with wonder at the accident or
it's perfect formation at that time and
place. some superstitious persons man
ifested their alarm in various ways;
principally by falling upon their knees
and praying. The scare is now over,
and everybody understands that the
creation was purely accidental.-Wich-

vice on many of it's through trains, and
in order to make dining cars more at

all of these cars with electric fans ana

and these improvements will continue
until all of the dining cars on the

There are very few roads IN the Worid
