arHE STAR spANdlED BANNER "

An order has been issued directing
officers and men Of Uncle Sans nav,
to stand at attention, unless their dutie
prevent, whenever the Star spanglet
Banner is played. Whether so intend
"a or not. this order will have the ef'
feet Of making this song. practically
the national anthem. Heretofore fleet:
III other nations have listned to Amer.
ica." the ''star Spangled Banner" anS
.nixie," and wondered what America:
national anthem IL. France has It's
sMarselIaise,. England its God Savt
the King" and Germany its s'Wach'
am Rhein, "hut the American sailor has
had no anthem That had been designat-
ed as national. Now he may demand
that proper respect be paid the "Stal
Spangied Banner This anthem will
become dearer to every American
heart and the story of its origin more
interesting.
The '.star Spangled Banner was
written by Francis Scott Key Septem-
her Is. 1914, while he and his comrades
on board the cartel ship Minden,
were watching the storning of Balti-
more by Admiral Cockrane.
Key had been sent with John S.skin-
ner of Baltimore to Admiral CockraneI
n request the release of DR., Beanes of
Upper Marlboro, who had been eaptnr-
ed at Washington. The British adEli-
raj consented to release DT. Beanes,
but would not let the Americans leave
the harbor, as he intended to attack
Baltimore. and lid not want the infor-
nation to reach the city ahead Of him.
The Minden, On which Key and his
friends were. was anchored In sight of
Fort McHenry, From its decks the
three friends watched the lombard
ment. In the dim light Of the morning
they saw through their glasses the star
spansled banner vet waving in tri- |
umph over the fort. and soon learned
of the defeat Of the British. When the |
feet was ready to sail Key and his
friends were released and returned to
Baltimore.
During the bomhardment while Fran
els Scott Key was pacing the deck
between midnight and dawn. he COM
posed the popular song, the first stanza
OF which expressed the feelings of the
thousands Of eye-witnesses to the
scene. The rude substance Of the song
was written on the back of letter. |
On the night after his. return to Bal
timore Key wrote it out in full and read
it to his uncle, Judge Nicholson, one of
the defenders Of the fort. The pleased
Judge had it printed by Captain Ben
jamin Edes. Samuel Sands set the
type and distributed the first copies.
1t was sung by Charles Durang at
restaurant next moor to the Holiday
street theater, Baltimore. to an assem-
blage of patriotic defenders of the city
and after that nightly in the theater
md everywhere in public and private.
Since its publication il has been heard
throughout the world. 1t has been
played by American bands in three
wars. Efforts have repeatedly beenf
made to have the anthem nationalized,
but for some reason they always werel
futile. The recent order is the firstl
of1cial notice given it.

The following from the Great Bar
rington, Mass, Courier should be
taken home and digested in every com
munity:
1t is not graveled or asphalted but
turfed, sidewalks that are needed in
this village. Persons are constantly
mistaking the turfed sides of walks
for the walks themselves.
just because citizen spends money
and time to keep his lawn and margins
nicely turfed seems to be an incentive
to certain people to walk thereon and
kill the grass as much as possible.
