At this some of the Grand Army
men set up a shout, and Louisa May
walked to the frOnt Of the platform

hold while she sang
The applause died away and the or
Sanist had just begun e play the pre-

Louisa Mays pink cheeks grew pal
lid. She opened her lips, but no sound
came from them. She was trembling
from head to foot. The flag fell from
her hand down over the edge of the
platform. Then in an agony of en-
barrasSment she put both hands over
her face al began to cry
The boy who had called out "Red

he hurried toward the platform and
up the steps. \ queerlooking old man
he was. with long white hair and
beard He had on stiftiy starched
linen "duster' and bright blue jean
trousers. Hurrying to Louisa Mays
side. he put his arm around her waist
and said, soothingly:
There. there, LOUSY May! Don't
you mind that impudent little sass
box. You sing your song now. Come,
grandpa will start We off on it,
The old man picked up the flag which
she had let fall to the platform. and
holding its staff in one hand while his
other arm was round Louisa Mays
waist, he began to sing.in thing, way

'EOh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early
light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perllous hight,
Ger the ramparts we watched, were so
CALAMITY streaming.
He stopped at the end of these lines
and said gently to Louisa May:
Come. now. honey. you sing. too
She had taken her hands from her
face, and as she looked into the sympa-
thetic faces of the people before her,
she felt her courage rise. When the
old man began to sing the next lines
Louisa Nays voice, clear and steady
and sweet, rose high above his own:
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that oul
flag was still there.
On! say, does that star-spangied banner
vet wave
Ger the land of the free and the home o
the brave,'
Something of the lofty spirit of the
grand old song suddenly filled Louis;

The city Of Panama has a popula-
ton of about $4,000. and is the capi-
tai Of department Of the same name
Strange to say, the department, which
now has begun a fight for autonomy,
was also Independent of Colombia
from 1859 to 1861. It has an area Of
3l,571 square miles and a population
Of 100000 Panama City. the chief
town of the district. Is the seat Of
a large export and transit trade. 1t
was burned by Morgan's buccaneers
in 1911 and rebuilt on its present site
in 1913 The present outbreak follows
the rejection by the national senate at
Bogota. the capital Of Colombia, OF
the treaty with the United States for
the building OF the interoceanic canal,
and the people of Panama department
resent this action as being extremely
hurtful TO their interests. both indus
trial and commercial They strongly
favor the treaty with the United
States, and now have declared their
independence to procure the construc-
ton of the canal by this government.
A serious outbreak in the depart
ment OF Bolivar is also reported. The
district affected is near Baranquilla,
and commands the mouth Of the Mag
dalena river This is a strategic point
of great importance, and its capture
by the insurgents would greatly ham
per the Colombian government, which
would be compelled to detach troops
from the Panama district to meet
the outbreak. The whole country is
in a highly feverish state. the clique
at Begota who control affairs is mere
ly out for graft to make all they
can out OF the canal concession, and
the fall Of President Marroauin. who
only assumed power in 1900 as the
result Ola revolution, may be looked
for at any time
