THE sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER.
BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.

Oh, say, you see, by the dawns early light,
 What proudly we hailed at the twighs last gleamng, Whose broad stripes and bright hro the peous fight Ger the ramparts watched gaantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting air, Gave proof thro' the night that flag still there. Oh, say, does that starspanged banner yet Der the land of the free and the home of the brave On that shore dmly through the ms of the deep Where the foes naughty host in dread silence reposes What that which the breeze the towering As 1t htfully blows, conceals, dscloses Now 1t catches the gleam of the mornings first bean, In full glory reflected now shines the stream 'Iis the starspanged banner: oh, long may it Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave And where is that band who vauntingly
 That the havoc of war and the battles confusion A home and a country should leave Their blood has washed their foul footseps pouEOn No refuge could save the hireling and slave
 From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth Der the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh thus be it ever when freeman shall stand
 Between their loved home and the desolation; Best with vcty and peace the heavn rescued land Praise the Powr that hath made and nan Thus conquer must, when 1t Is iust And this be motto Tn God is trust !" And the star-spanged banner in triumph shall Der the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Hot Stuff,

A clergyman was very fond of particularly hot brand of pickles, and, finding great difficulty in procuring the same sort at hotels when travelling, always carried bottle with him.
 One day, when dining at a restaurant with hls pickles i'll front of him, a stranger sat down at the same table, and pretty soon asked the minister to pass the pickles, The divine, who en. 5oyed joke, politely passed the pick les, and in few seconds had the satis. faction of seeing the stranger watering at the eyes and gasping for breath.
 "I see by your dress, ," said the man. when he had recovered, "thst you are a parson."
 "I am, sir"
 "I suppose you preach"
 "Yes, about twice week, usually"
 "Do you ever preach about hell fire ?' inquired the stranger.
 "Why, yes. Sometimes I deem it my duty to remind my congregation of eternal punishment"
 "I thought so," said the stranger; "but you are the first of your class ever met who carried samples. "- Harper's Magazine

cannot see with another mans eyes; can only see with mine. Then let me use mine eyes aright, And the vision to me will be clear and
 bright, It will come from light divine. I,cannot hear with another mans ears; can only hear with mine, Then let my ears be willing to hear, And the words that come will be true

 taught And my brother will find the comfort
 he sought, For there's healing in words divine.

J.HENRY CONVERTED.

The recent admonition of Mrs. A. s. G. Taylor to the Canaan Equal Fran chise League, to "convert J. Henry Roraback" and thus solve the suffrae e i problem for Connecticut, is producing results-at least the leaven is working, if indications indicate anything. The day before !. Henry started for Chi cago, as delegate -at-large to the national convention, he was asked the question, with blunt directness that admitted of none of his customary non- committal side stepping:
 Who is your favorite candidate for the presidency nomination ?" J. Henry hesitated for a brief in stant, but the interviewer looked him squarely in the eye, and as he saw there was no use trying to hedge, he replied, with deliberation:
 Lydia Pinkham.
 note of the answer, and immediately followed up the interrogatory with this one:
 "In your honest opinion as an ex- perienced political observer, who will be the nominee of the convention ?"
 This time there was no hesitancy. J. Henry's jaws snapped, and he hiss ed:
 "Belva Lockwood.
 The interview was progressing; and the interviewer, encouraged by his un- expected success in making the state committee chairman unbosom himself so freely. where other quizzers had ignominiously failed, and resolving to make the most of the gentleman's un- usual confidential loquacity, kept up the attack. and cleverly shifted the subject to cover the situation here in Connecticut, where we are having shifting political panorama and more or less kaleidoscopic view of the dark horse paddock. The following ques- tion, to wit, was next propounded:
 "Who is your preference for the next Governor of Connecticut ?''
 Quick as flash came the reply:
 Doctor Mary Walker"
 By this time the erstwhile reticent state chairman, as will be seen, had become astonishingly garrulous, and in order to evade the responsibility of leading him on to say things that he might regret later, the conscientious terminated the interview.

Strength of Past Mistakes.

Because our ancestors lived in hud- dled cities we go on building upon mar. TOW and tortuous streets, sinking our capital in mistakes which age makes it more and more difficult to retrieve. The original cowpaths of Boston have become picturesque slums which sup- port innocent ladies and stife the health and the happiness of other peoples children. Attack these slums, and you attack helplessness itself. Try to widen and ventilate, and you will find that you have struck at the security of the innocent. This IS the real strength of the past and the overwhel- ming grip it has upon our lives. It lives on, not because it has become so intimate a part of us that to cut it out seems little too cruel.

Congressman Glynn, of Con- necticut, came to the capitol Mon day with a brand new $5 straw hat. He left the building minus his headgear.

Why Water Guroles From a Bottle.
Water or any other liquid cannot
flow from bottle in steady stream
because until the bottle is empty there
is continuous struggle between the
tendency Of the liquid to fall from the
bottle and the rushing Of the air to get
in. When a full bottle without a cork
is turned upside down there will be
an alternate realization of two opera
tiors-the liquid to follow the attrac-
tion Of gravitation and the air to obey
its natural impulse TO fill void.
