When Fred and young Ned already said, Fell far down from very queer land made of Glass To another strange land they did rapidly pass, But they fell right away on big pile of hay So they weren't hurt bit and they felt very gay. But it all night and they hadn't light So young Ned said to Fred, This will do for bed So they slept on this hay as young Neddy had said. But while they were asleep, them did

 "Fasteri

So the boys had to run, though it wasn't much fun, he told them to go just fast as they're able, So they did, and they very came to the stable Then the wife and his children, of course Came out from the house to see Fred and Ned They're very fine team, all the horses now said, But of 1t is plain that coachman must train These fellows to trot and they ought to learn That pull one rein when we want them to turn! " Then the coachman came from the stable and said Bow! Wow!" and Bow! Wow!" from his shaggy dogs

One Hundred and Thirty-Six Years Ago

prominently on your calendars The, boys name was Francis Scott Key, and he wrote "The Star-Spangled' Banner"
 During the war between our coun-i try and Great Britain, in 1914, a British fleet entered Chesapeake Bay, and after doing much harm to Wash ington, the land force marched against Baltimore, and at the same time the war ships in the Bay, sailed up to lombard the town from the wa ter side. The town was held by a. small body of volunteers, who meant, to do their best, despite small guns, to save the city. A few days before the attack. the enemy had taken the well known citizen, Dr. Beanes, prisoner and carried him to one of. their ships.
 . Francis Scott Key, who then lived in Georgetown, near Washington, was sent under a flag of truce, to ask for Dr. Beanes release, and he succeeded in persuading the British Admiral to set the Doctor free. Fearing, how ever, that were the two Americans to go on land at this time they would carry important information of the British movements to their soldiers. the Admiral determined to keep MT. Key, and the Doctor, on board until the fight was over.
 At the sunrise on the 18th of Septem- Der. the fleet moved up the Bay and opened fire on Fort McHenry. The flight which followed was fierce one that lasted till midnight, and the two
 
 through the darkness which side was winning.
 . Key paced the deck in an agony of suspense, and he watched and waited till the early dawn to be relieved, praying that the Stars and Stripes would still be waving over the fort 1t was during this anxious wait that he took an old envelope out of his pocket and scribbled the known Hines of our National song.
 Finally when the day dawned, Key was delighted to see our colors still waving on high and knew then that the city was saved. At his leisure he wrote the last verses of this beautiful poem, and a friend of his. recognizing the force of it, had it printed and dis tributed among the citizens of Balti- more. Then the words were set to music, and it was sung in the theatres at private functions, on the streets, iand finally it became our Nations , song.
 [ Francis Scott Key died on the 11th Of January 1S43, but his poem will , live as long as the Star-Spangled Ban- I her waves "O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave"

nm ETanClS DecduSe lno WiitSi iof our "Star-Spangled Banner" had been born on that date, and she was proud of her country-man, and felt that she could not honor his memory more than by naming her son after him.
 1 Francis had two celebrations every summer, one on the fourth of July, and the other on his birthday, August first. That he loved the Star-Spangled Banner was but natural. and his lit- tie colonial suit was let out in the seams, and brushed up every year, for the great day.
 1 Francis lived in the suburbs, and the birthday party took place in the garden near tiny lake. Can you imagine the splendid times he and his little friend had. Usually the first of August was too warm for romping, iso Francis and his mother arranged some quiet games. Here are two of lthe paper and pencil games they made flor the boys eleventh birthday party.

But when Billy and Dick were out driving day, Fred and Ned got too frsky and soon away For they just couldn't help 1t and didn't know why, But like runaway horses those boys now did try To gallop and gallop and gallop away And for nothing at all would they stop or stay. But faster and faster and faster they dashed, Till the struck post and it quickly smashed. And far off the ground Bill and Dick were now
 found
 For they both had been thrown from the cart like
 stone
 And they fell with thump and they got bad bump. So the horsey named Bill for awhile was quite i'll And the other named Dick was little bit sick! Now their Coachman that Dog real angry you see, And he parked at Fred just loud could be; For he said Bow! Wow! Wowi I declare and VOW, Just my name is George Barkaloudbark, I will keep both of you for week in the dark And I'll feed you turnips instead of good hay And guess the next time that you won't run away!" So you see, Fred and Ned for week now fed On nothing but turnips, the way the Dog said And they both had to stay in the dark all the day And they ate such lot of those turnps, while there That those boys for turnip no longer now care. But 1t happened the very last turnp they ate Was turnip bewitched and it tasted just great But when they had eaten the last little bite, They both became frefies that carried a light And so you can very well they were able To quickly slip out through crack in the stable And they flew far away with the help of their light For it grew very dark and they found it was night Up and up still they flew to the top of the ground And there good Fairy they very soon found And he took both the boys at the very first chance And he fed them the leaves of some magical plants; So they stopped being fire flies and turned into boys And they thanked the good Fairy for bringing such joys And the Fairy then said unto Freddy and Ned, "I am always real glad to do good to lad Who's polite and all right and will never act bad So the Fairy went off, but the boys said around, Then close to shoulder they heard queer sound But who was now there, will tell you next time And here for today will end up my r1me
