bivouacked that night on the battle
field.
With the dawn Of the next day came
a grim realization of a terrible conflict
The American army saw 1t and strengt tn
ened every possible line of defense The
British army saw it and prepared to re-
new It's attack The British feet saw
1t, and forming semi-circle about two
miles from Fort McHenry opened fire on
the brave garrison in the fort. Bat so
impregnable had the American army
made their lines that the British officers
saw the fruitlessness of an attack, and
determined to wait. in a drenching rain
storm, until nightfall and then try the
fortune of another battle Not so with
the men on the fleet seeing that their
shells reached the fort they kept up
constant bombardment. The day nassed
slowly by and darkness came. Still the
Rr fish army waited. Still the brave gar
rison' in the fort held out. Could the
Americans repu'se the invaders? Could
they save their homes from destruction
and their country from disgrace?

before the bnmbardnent. Key. Skinner
and DR.. Beanes anxiously watched the
progress Of the battle. Du-ine the last

openly boast that though "the heavens
rained militia" he would make his win

Rrf+ssh as "+he great DEPOSITORY of the
hostile shirt OF the United Sta-es
against ENGLAND" Now the critical hour
had come. Could Gen. Ross carry out his
boast?
Twilight revealed the Stars and Stripes
still waving over the ramoarts of the
fort. Now night had come. and the dark
ness was made very intense ny dreary
rainstorm. But Key and Skinner re-
manned on deck. for they could still see
the flag through their glasses. when
shells exploded near the fort or when
the British sent rockets hurting through
the air. This, was the only means they
had of telling that the fort had not
surrendered, for the guns of the fort
could not reach the fleet, and they were
fred only when the Brit sh occasionally
ventured within range in an effort to
land.
But suddenly the firing from the Brit
ish fleet ceased. and as Key and Skinner

know whether the fort had surrendered
or the attack had failed. In this terrible
Every few minutes they looked at their
watches as if to hasten the passing of
time. At last faint light could be seen
in the eastern sky.
Morning was coming, and gradually 1t
grew lighter. Now the dim outline of
the shore could be seen. A little later
and the fort was ia ntly discernible.
Again and again they peered through
their glasses to catch a glimpse of the
flag on the fort. Was 1t the Stars and

10 DRIVE NAIL INTO WALL


Few women know how to drive q
nail into a book wall, and yet it is
what they often need to do for them
selves. il there is no man about.
The following method is easy and
has been found entirely satisfactory
Having decided upon the exact spot
into which the nail is desired to be
driven, which must be in the plaster
between the bricks, provide yourself
with a hammer and screwdriver-
With these tools commence working
out the hard plaster by tapping the
handle CT the screwdriver. As the
plaster turns to dust, it must be
blown or busted out so that the size
of the hole may be seen. When a
space about one inch long and nearly
one inch deep has been worked out,
get a small piece Of wood about the
same size and with the hammer
wedge ii into the space. When 1t
seems firm, take the nail and drive
it into the wood. 1t will go in nice
v, without bending, and remain
firm an indefinite length of time.
This same method was used at one
line when it was decided tn hang a
hammock between the fence and the |
vail, with the exception that the hole
vas dug out a little longer and
leeper than for an ordinary nail.

VERMoNTER's GOOD WORK.

Isaac T. Goodnow, one of the pio-
neer educators in the middle west,
was born in a Vermont village one
hundred years ago. In his early ca
reer he was teacher in the famous
Wilbraham academy. In 1855 he
travelled to Kansas territory to Sc
lect site for Boston colony of sev-
eral hundred immigrants, which he
fixed and named Manhattan. Three
years later he established the Blue
mont college, which developed into
the well-known Kansas State Agri-
cultural college of the present day.
After serving for a time as presi-
dent Of this institution, DR.. Good
now was elected to the Kansas Iegis-
lature. Later he served four years
as state superintendent of public in
struction. He was one of the found
ers of the Kansas State Teachers
association and held many honorable
Offices, particularly those of an edu-
cational nature. DR.. Goodnow died
in Manhattan in his eightieth year.

WHY HE WANTED TO KNOW
Theatergoer Had Reasons for InquIr
Ing az to the Length Of Scene
That Was Coming.

When monte Cristo" was first
produced at the Adelpha theater,
London, many years ago, it did not
appear in the abbreviated form that
playgoers have since become used to.
1t is said that, as originally shown,
it took three nights to give. Natu-
rally, pruning and condensing were
very much in order. But even at
that, ON occasion of which reference
is about to be made, the perform
ance was scarcely half over as the
bells tolled the hour of midnight.
The late George Belmore was playing
'Caderousse and the audience was in
a supersomnolent state when he came
in and said:
"Lstenl / have a tale to unfold"
A bright young chap sitting in
front was awakened by the exclama-
ton. Quickly he got to his feet and
in a most plaintive voice said:
"Will it be long, sir? For if I
miss the last bus to Putney I'll have
to stay all night or walk home, sir"

LOOKING AHEAD.

Francis B. Sayre condemned d.
vorce in a New York interview.
eve should select our wives with
prudence" said Mr.. Sayre, 'having
proper regard for the the perma-
nent character of marriage. We
should look far ahead. We should
foresee."
He laughed, and added:
eyes, look ahead, foresee- that's
the idea-like the private in the
shoeless regiment.
During the Civil war, you know,
there was regiment called the shoe
less because its men had no foot
gear.
'In this regiment it was customary
for every man, after taking careful
aim at an enemy, to shout before he
fired:
"'Them's my Shoes"
