Scott Key, including, of course, all ot-his personal belongings that can De obtained. Assurances have already been received Of the contribution of many such treasures, and the officers of the association have also received ground for hope that a Bos- ton family will loan for deposit in the mansion the original Star-Spangled Ban ner-the identical battle-scarred flag which 1oated over Fort McHenry all through that memorable night In 1874. and which Inspired the anthem The Star-Spangled Banner"
 Before the Key mansion can safely be- come the receptacle of such priceless trophies, however, 1t will be essential that modern system of heating be h. stalled, and other Improvements carried out, including the freproofng of all wood work, as has been done at Mount Yer non. It is also hoped that the fund now being raised by popular subscription will ultimately grow to such proportions that the adjoining property on each side can be purchased, and the historic building thus isolated from infammable struc- lures, which. under present conditions, would menace 1t in the event of Ire The present project contemplates that the re- stored Key mansion will at all times be open to the public free of charged sit uation that will assuredly be In pleas ant contrast to the state of affairs at the home and tomb of Washington. where admission fee IS charged and where monopolistic concessions have been granted to certain favorite tradesEen un- der a system that Is freely condemned as mercenary and un-American.
 Francis Scott Key was a lawyer. and. indeed. his presence at Baltimore upon the occasion when he wrote our national anthem was due to a desire to be of oerT- ice to a client who had become involved in difficulties incident to the conflict be- tween the British and Americans It IS of interest. therefore, to add that the plan for the restoration of the Key man. sion includes a scheme for the rehabila- tation of the shedlike structure adjoining the Key mansion proper. and whicl served as Keys law office during all the years of his occupancy of this home. A number of law books that had place in Keys library have also been located. and will be restored to their places in the lawyer-poet's workroom.

H HIS Memorial Day season is. per II haps, the most appropriate time - 10 tell of new project just now taking shape for the creation of a memorial to the man who i'm mortalized the tag which is om- nipresent on Decoration Day. Francis Scott Key. the author of 'The Star spangled Banner" has been slngularly neglected among American heroes In so far as tangible testimonials go. There Is cause for congratulation, therefore, that with the approach of the one hundredth anniversary of the composition of our national air its author is to be fttingly honored by a memorial which will serve as q mecca for patriotic pilgrims.
 The protect now in hand contempiates the utilization as a memorial museum of the house h which Key lived when he wrote ''The Star-spangled Banner. The idea, 1t will be observed, Is the same which has been carried out In the case of Mount Vernon. the home of Washing ton. Andrew Jackson's home In Tennes- see. the Lincoln home in Illinois, etc., and which 1t Is now proposed shall be followed in the case of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and the abid- ing places of other national idols.
 The house which 1t is proposed to thus transform Into n permanent tribute to its one-time occupant Is located in old Georgetown eDistrict of Columbia, in most picturesque location overlooking the Potomac River. However, more unprom- ising material from which to create memorial museum could scarcely be im- agined than was this once stately man. sion when the prime movers of the pres ent project took hold of things few

In the case of the Betsy Ross house, by means of small subscriptions, so that the greatest possible number Of people can participate.
 Accordingly 1t was determined that no person shall be allowed to contribute more than 10 cents to this popular sub scription. Every individual who adds his dime to the fund becomes a member of the Francis Scott Key Memorial Associa- ton and receives a beautifully illumi- mated certificate of membership. duly signed by the officers of the association and bearing the seal and subscription number. In the center of the certificate is artistically portrayed the scene that inspired Key to write his immortal poem.
 The names of all the subscribers to the popular fund are being placed on roll of honor that is to be preserved in permanent form. and each person who induces 30 or more to join the association Is presented by the officers with a large autograph duo tone reproduction or the original painting, The Inspiration" which original has 8

permanent place on the walls of the re stored Key mansion. This historic picture is full-length portrait of Francis Scott Key standing in an attitude of keenest anxiety and watchfulness upon the deck of the vessel on which he was detained prisoner by the British and in the early dawn of September IA, 1914, after the nights bombardment of Fort McHenry by his country's foes, discovered that tour flag was still there" It was this discov- cry that inspired the patriot Key to write his immortal verses to the flag.
 The sum of S15,000 may seem rather large one to be raised wholly by 1O-cent subscriptions, but Admiral Dewey, whose most cherished possession Is the giant loving cup, made from dimes contributed by thousands upon thousands of his ad- mirers, is naturally confident that the American people will respond to this appeal to preserve a historic landmark in trust for the nation. Incidentally. 1t may be noted that more than S25,OOO was raised by this same scheme Of 1O-eent subscrfptions to save the birthplace Of the flag in Philadelphia.
 In the meantime the officers of the Memorial Association have on their own responsibility leased the Key Mansion; have restored 1t in so far as is possible with limited expenditure, and have opened 1t free of charge to the public The renovation and restoration of this ,ong-neglected mansion was indeed her culean task. In the basement an accu- mutation of dirt and debris more than three feet in depth had to be excavated ere the quaint, old, brick-paved floor was exposed to view. The half-dozen fire places in the mansion had all been bricked up and their reopening was no easy task. So 1t went from sub-basement to attic. The rejuyenation was time-con- suming process, and a force of six or seven men were busy for months at the task As yet, of course, there Is not much for the visitor to see at the Key Mansion, for the house Is virtually un- furnished, but It's artistic stairways, pie turesoue open hreplaces and quaint door ways will well repay the attention of nll admirers of pure colonial architecture. . Ultimately 1t Is the intention to gather ID this house relics of all kinds bearing upon the personality and career Of Francis

months ago. Washington's home at Mount Vernon and other homesteads of famous Americans were kept in a fair, state of preservation before they passed into the hands of custodians especially charged with their safeguarding, but the Key mansion had had no such care. Indeed, 1t was allowed to literally go to rack and ruin and was used successively for variety of purposes. such as a junk shop and an overcrowded tenement. Only the splendid stability of the old-time construction, which finds notable exem- pliication in this brick house, enabled 1t to withstand the effect of years of neglect and abuse.
 The neglect of this conspicuous memento of a man to whom the whole nation owes a debt of gratitude was for years a public shame, and finally, after President Roose- welt issued his order making 'The Star Spangled Banner our national anthem, a number of prominent and influential men interested themselves in determined ef-

enterprise MT. Charles H. weisgerber, of

enterprise MT. Charles E. weisgerber, of Philadelphia. who only recently com pleted a notable labor of love in saving and preserving the home of Betsy Ross in the Quaker City-the birthplace of the flag. Mr. Weisgerber originated the plan to preserve the Ross home, and since its purchase has engineered the finances. It was obviously appropriate that the man with such experience should be chosen to direct the salvation of the other flag house."
 It was found that s15.O0o would be required to purchase the Key mansion, and that perhaps 5000 more would be needed to restore 1t to anything ap- proachlng the condition in which it was when occupied by the patriot and poet. This sum could readily have been raised through a few subscriptions made by wealthy men, but 1t was felt that, since the project was primarily an Incentive to patriotism, 1t would be much better If the purchase price could be raised, as

fort to perpetuate the fame of Key by fitting testimonial. Accordingly there was formed, a few months ago. the Francis Scott Key Memorial Association, which has as it's object 'the purchase and preser- walton of the historic home of Francis Scott Key as a lasting memorial in honor of the author of The Star-Spangled Banner"
 Admiral Dewey, who started the move ment to have ''The Star-Spangled Banner designated as America's national anthem, is an officer of this association, and so likewise Is Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley. The secretary of the association is F. s. Key Smith. a direct descendant of Francis Scott Key, and a man who has always taken the greatest interest in all that appertalns to his distinguished ancestor. ( The first move of the public spirited citizens who set out to honor the composer of the national anthem was very wise one. It was to secure as the active and directing head of the patriotic

ON THE GROUND OF ECONOMY.
Acceptance of Physicians Offer Was
Lesser of Two Evils.

A Chicago medico tells Of two physi-
clans in a Wisconsin town, the one
elderly, with long record OF cures,
the other young, with his record still
to make. The older doctor, it appears,
was inclined to surrender some OF
MS night work to the younger man.
one bitter night in winter the veteran
was aroused by two farmers from q
hamlet eight miles away. the wife of
one of whom was seriously i'll. The
doctor at once "-.saf4rred them to his
young colleague, but they refused the
latters services. Very we'll" replied
the doctor, thinking to put convinc.
Ing argument before them. IN that
case my fee is ten dollars, payable
now. Whcreupon there ensued a
remonstrance on the part Of the farm
ers, but the doctor was cbdurate.
FINALLY one of the men asked the
other: well, what do you think I
ought to do?" 'T think you'd better
pay him the ten dollars" said the
other. The funeral would cost you
more. re.'-FIarrer's Weekly.
