 patriot poet exist, and now it is pro posed to preserve as patriotic shrine the house in Georgetown, D. C., at present part of Washington, which was for many years his home. Key was born in Frederick county, Md, Aug. Q. 17SO, and was the son of John Ross Key, a Revolutionary officer He studied at St. Johns college, George town. and read law in the office of his uncle, Philip Barton Key. He began the practice of the legal profession in Frederick City, Md, but afterward re- moved to Washington, where he achieved high standing at the bar. serving for some years as district at torney His fondness for poetry led ume of his works was published in 1857, ten years after his death.
 Among the best known of the poems, aside from 'The Star Spangled Ban- ner," are the hymns, Lord, With Glowing Heart I Praise Thee" and Before Thee, Lord, I Bow" He en- joyed a happy married life and had several children. The old house in Georgetown now knowp as the "Key mansion was his home for the most of the time that he resided in Wash ington. His great grandson, Francis Scott Key Smith, Washington attor- ney, believes it is beyond question that he lived here at the time his most fa- nous poem was composed. MT. Smith says that, although the lawyer-poet did not get the deed to the property until 1880. it had been his home for many years prior to that year, cloud on the title having prevented the deed being passed to hiIu at an earlier date. Mr. Smith has been prominent in the movement to buy and preserve the house. Owing to the efforts of those interested in keeping such an interest ing landmark from being destroyed, there was formed in January last the Francis Scott Key Memorial associa- tion, incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia and empow

THE OLD KEY MANSION IN GEORGETOWN, cred to collect funds, buy and hold property, etc. The incorporators in ad- dition to Mir. Smith, are Admiral George Dewey, Rear Admiral Win field Scott Schley, retired; ex-Senator Louis F. McComas of Maryland, H. B. F. Mcfarland, commissioner of the District of Columbia; Justice Ashley M. Gould and other men of high stand ing.
 There are numerous descendants of Francis Scott Key but it Is about half q century since any of his family lived In the old mansion. In the meantime the neighborhood has changed and looks little as it did when the "old families" lived there in Keys day. Formerly there were terraced grounds leading down to the Potomac river. Streets have since been cut through, and the buildings which have been erected have shut off the view the Key family used to have of the Potomac. Shops and booths have sprung up around the house, and it is plastered over with the signs of trade. Recently it was proposed to tear it down to make way for stores, and this led to the movement to buy and preserve it and restore it as nearly as possible to the condition it was ip when Key lived in it. The house is supposed to be at least 16O years old.
 It was during the British attack ou old Fort McHenry in 1914 that Kay wrote '"rhe Star Spangled Banner" He was temporarily prisoner on a British ship. having visited the British admiral under flag of truce to Sc cure the release of friend who had been seized as a prisoner He was de tained by the British until after the oombardment of the fort and thus witnessed the attack from a point of vantage He waited anxiously until morning to see which colors floated rom the ramparts and when he saw the stars and stripes was overcome with Joyful emotion. The lines Oh, say can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly We hailed AL the twtlight's last gleaming? came to him as an inspiration and were quickly committed to the back of letter. the poem being finished soon afterward and set to the tune of "An. acreon In Heaven"

ROOSEVELT THINKS
 BURTON IS LUCKY.
He Would Make the Former kansas Senator's Jail Term Longer
 if He Could.

Washington, March 1S.-Presi- dent Roosevelt stated that so lar from granting pardon to former Senator Burton of Kansas, he would lengthen his term of Imprisonment if he could.
 Burton is now serving a six months sentence in a Missouri jail for accepting fees from "get-rich- quick racing company to assure it immunity from prosecution by the postoffice officials. He was fined $2,50O, in default of payment of which he must serve thirty days ad- ditional imprisonment. Burton de- clared he would not ask any favors welt, who was energetic in his prosecution.
 Burton's friends went to the White House to learn whether the president would pardon him at the end of the six months term so as to release him from the fine. They were informed that the president not only would not pardon him, but was sorry he could not add some thing to the term of Imprisonment. The president was incensed because the term of Imprisonment of Bur ton was only six months Burton's term expires March 22, but unless thirty days more, less the allow ance for good behavior.

Many Homes Were Isolated, and Much
Damage Was Done.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, July 1.-THE south side
of this city, especially Miller, Drum
mond, Huntley and Rawlins streets,
were inundated yesterday from the
flood Of water which rushed from the
Milwaukee Eviaduct opening, Nshort1y
after the rain about l o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Homes on East Drum
mond and Miller were completely cut
off from the rest of the world by wa
ter, the flood raising to the doors OF
many of the homes. Sidewalks and
other loose material were floating about
the yards, while anxious looking In
mates peered from the doors and win
doWs and wondered whether the flood
would raise much higher. Eight feet
Of water was measured under the Mil
waukee viaduct Main street leading
north from the viaduct was the natuA-
al outlet for the accumulation of water
under the viaduct, and it rushed forth
In torrent, every side street taking
large quantities. Sheridan street was
perfect river of itself and the Mil
waukee. tracks in the neighborhood
We're inundated. The electric line was
blocked for several hours. Passengers
were taken from the last Clear Lake
train by bus and driven around on
Hoyt street to the city. At 2 o'clock
Willow creek had not risen percepti-
bly,, but it is expected to rise.
The recent floods in the south part
Of the city have given rise to "holler"
about the drainage, which 1t is said
Is no where near adequate.

Mason City, July Ill shall re-
main here just as long as you do
said pretty little Mrs. Harry Bereth, OF
Fort Dodge, who had accidently run
upon her hayward husband. who had
left her four months ago, seated her
self in an easy chair in the room of
her husband at the hotel while the fire
flew from two sparkling black eyes.
She WAS smother deserted wife, whom
the new Iowa law now protects, and
she can put her husband behind the
bars il she wants to. Mrs. Bereth ar
rived on midnight train and at the
earliest possible moment this morning,
consulted the sheriff to know IL he had
any knowledge of Harry Bereth, whom
she accurately described. He began
hunting at once tho little thinking that
he would be so soon rewarded, when
he met friend and casually remarked
he was after a man by the, name OF
Bereth. The friend knew him and in a
few minutes the little woman and the
sheriff walked in upon the surprised
spouse.
Bereth arrived here from Fort
Dodge four months ago and being an
excellent machinist soon got position.
He made friends. drew good wages and
soon was floating with the best OF
them. In the meantime his young wife
was hunting In several different cities
over the state, following clues of her
husband
Like any dutiful husband Bereth
sought TO explain his prolonged abb
sence from her. and his neglect saying
he had written two letters to her, but
Mrs. Bereth says she never received
them. He also showed return ticket
to Fort Dodge, saying he expected to
use it in day or two, but the sheriff
learned from the friend that he was
trying to sell It, The sheriff stood in
the room while the husband collected
his wits, when he asked the wife If he
could be of any further use. She said
so long as Harry would live with her
she would live anywhere, tho she pre-
ferred to go back to Fort Dodge; This
the husband declined to do and the
wife then declared her intention Of re-
naming.
Mrs. Bereth is said to be connected
with we'll known Fort Dodge family.
She and her husband were married
three years ago. when both were seven
teen years of age.

Cedar Rapids, July 1.-THE Rock Is
land railroad is urging the coal dealers
and large consumers of coal to store a
large amount of fuel during the sum
mer mouths to prevent a repetition OF
last years fuel famine in many sec
tons of the country. 1t is pointed out
in the letter, several of which have
been received here, that the regular
freight traffic during the summer
months is such that large amounts OF
coal can be handled promptly, whereas
the grain. and live stock traffic in the
fall and winter will impede the hand
ling of coal.
While Iowa did not suffer from
fuel famine last year. many coal deal
ers declare that only the mild weather
prevented it. They declare that IL
Iowa had had weather anywhere like
it was in the Dakotas this state would
have suffered almost as badly as the
northern states did.

handled promptly, many localities are
said to be- in constant danger of fuel
famines III the winter months. The
letter which the officials of the road
are sending out is as follows:
To Coal Dealers and Consumers -
The time is rapidly approaching when
the demand for coal will tax the ca
pacity OF both the mines and the
transportation lines.
Past experience has demonstrated
that 1t is impracticable, if not i'm
possible, for the mines to produce or
the carriers to transport promptly at
all times all the fuel that may be re-
quired.
beyond our control will seriously in
terfere with our service. and con-
gestion and delays are sure to occur.
Such conditions will result In serious
and possible suffering,
and everything possible should be
done to guard against them.
This company will store large
quantities of coal during the summer
thus enabling us to handle a
greater volume Of commercial business
but the improvement will be much
more pronounced If our patrons will
anticipate their fall and winter re-
quirements by placing their orders for
the earliest possible delivery The
lower price at which coal is sold
should more than compensate for the
additional expense incurred in storage.
The cooperation of dealers and
along these lines will insure
against the conditions that prevailed
in certain localities during the past
winter. would ask your careful con-
sideration OF these suggestions.
