The Words Of Our National Song.

Some interesting. not to say appall-
ing results. followed test of familiar
ity to which our national song, the
Star-Spangled Banner. was subjected in
the public schools of Brooklyn the 9TH
er day. The song is sung regularly in
the schools there, as it is IN the schools
of nearly all our American cities AMI
one Cf the district superintendent.
wishing tc find out how far the pupils
understood what they were singing. or :
dered a test of 10000 children ranging
from IL t, 16 years Of age. Out of this
large number of presumably Intelligent
young Americans only 100 wrote out
three stanzas of the national hymn
correctly. and most of the remaining
$500 made so many mistakes and wan
dercd SO far from the text OF the hymn
that the results were both ludicrous
and pitiful. The Brooklyn Eagle quotes
one Of these verses as fair sample of
their general grotesqueness.
o. say can you see. by the porous fight.
Twas proudly We air.

And the robins red brest.
And the stars perilous fgt
came through. through the night.
That our flag was st,li thcrS.
And ever night, and Free.

And let 1t always be waving above us,
And let 1t always wave before us,
Or the Stars glitter before us,
And the Stripes. of the blue.
And the Stripes and the stars.
This extraordinary version OF the
national hymn. which is somewhat
photographic in sound. cannot fairly be
laid to the childs ignorance or lack IF
patriotic devotion: still less likely is it
that the child was knowingly writing
a caricature. 1t is not at all likely that
out Of any 10000 average citizens the
country over as many as 100 could
write three stanzas of The STAR
Spangled Banner correctly. For that
matter. probably the same proportion
would fail to write out the ten COM
mandments. 1t used to be told as a
great joke on Lillian Russell that when
a fashionable audience in a leading
american city wanted her to sing The
Star-Spangled Banner she could not DO
it because she did not know the words
Probably the joke would have been on
the audience rather than on the singer
had she requested anybody among
them to write out the words for her.
All this is in part reflection on the
human memory ii: general and in part
is a reflection upon our national hymn
in which the words have little relation
to the stolen melody, originally used as
a drinking song. 1t is easy to find in
the Brooklyn incident the text for an
appeal for real national anthem,
with words and music both American
and wholly simple. dignified and stir
ring, but there is small prospect that
the need OF such national hymn will
he met, and in the meantime we must
make the most OF the material at hand

DAVENPORT TO BOOK.
Mayor and Sheriff In Danger OF Los
ing Jobs.


Without any delay the civil officers
OF Scott county, Iowa, are to be
brought to an accounting for their
failure to stop Thursday nights prize
fight in Davenport, as we'll as Capt.
o. w, Kulp, who was placed under
arrest Friday and will be tried by
courtmartial within eight days. Gov.
Cummins has appointed Maj. Johnson,
of the Fifty-third regiment at Maquo-
keta, as judge advocate general Of the
courtmartial 1t is understood that
from eight to fifteen officers of the
guard, outside the Fifty-fourth regi-
ment, OF equal or higher rank than
Capt. Kulp. will be summoned to act
as the court. 1t will sit at Des Moines,
and probably its hearings will be pub
lie
Within eight days the court will be
constituted and try Capt. Kulp. Prior
to that time he will be served with
written charges which Gov. Cummins
has directed Col. Logan, assistant ad-
jutant general, to prepare.
1t is expected at the governors Of
flee that some citizens of Davenport
will appear to complain against the
sheriff of Scott county and the mayor
of Davenport for not enforcing the
law. In case such a complaint is
lodged Attorney General Byers will
proceed to the work Of removing the
accused from office for not stopping
the fight. Proceedings OF this charac-
ter will be brought before the presid-
ing judge of the district court and be-
fore jury.
1t is understood that Capt. Kulps
sole defense will be that there was
no prize fight in Davenport. 1t is the
position of both Gov Cummins and
Adjt. Gen. Thrift that the contest was
a fight, but that whether or not it
was, their orders to Kulp permitted
no discretion on his part, but demand
ed immplicit obedience.
While the public was amused by
the performance at Davenport when
it first learned Of it, there is indig-
nation also that BODIES i'll for Deven-
ports defiance of the laws of the
state. Gov. Cummins has already re-
ceived many assurances of support for
a policy intended to make an exam
pie of those responsible for Thursday
nights events.

ARRESTS WIFE FOR MARRYING.
Says Helpmeet Sold Farm and Eloped
to United States.

Charged with selling her husbands
farm near little Austrian town and
deserting two of her three small child
rem to elope to America with Casper
Ladislof, farm hand, and then with
having married Warvagiven Kaovia,
of Port Richmond, Pa, her third "af-
finity," after the farm hand had taken
with a child to care for, Yetta Alster.
of Philadelphia, faces a term in prison
for bigamy.
Four years ago Isador Alster, her
first husband, left his home and fam
lily in Austria to seek his fortune in
America. He established himself in
business in New York City, and was
so prosperous that he could afford to
send his wife $1,600 in the four years.
The husband never suspected her. and
when he was informed by a cablegram
from friends that she had sold the
farm for $4,000 and was on her way
to this country with the' farm hand
he was amazed.
Immediately he began a search for
his wife. District Attorney Jerome, Of
New York, took a personal interest in
the foreigners case, and in a few
weeks the detectives had an inkling
that the much married woman was in
Philadelphia. SO he informed De-
tectives Harry Bozarth and Thomas
McCully OF the circumstances.
After an all-day search the detec-
tives found the woman out in Port
Richmond, and made the arrest. Isa-
dore Alster was with the men at the
time and identified the woman as his
wife. With her was the 9-year-old
daughter.
But Yetta Alster had found her
third affinity in the meantime in
the person OF Warvagiven Koavia, who
she says she married in Bridesburg,
three weeks ago, after she had been
converted to the Roman Catholic
faith. Every one concerned in the
alleged triple marriage was present
at the hearing before Magistrate
Hughes except the mysterious farm
hand and the two children who were
left with friends in Austria.

Construction work is completed to
that point and the road expects to

Earring said then that he would have
trains running to Butte by the first of

in pushing the construction work

It is the plan Of the road to make
Aberdeen the principal division point
