Some Observations.

Beauty may be only skin deep. but
lot of fellows can't see through it.
The reason so many people kill time
is because time never puts up q holler.
There isn't much to the fellow who
doesn't get mad enough to fight once in
while.
To live decent life is not all that
is necessary; a man can be decent and
not be particularly useful.
The bees have way of dealing with
the drones. When food gets scarce
they kick them out of the hive.
The man who thinks he knows it all
is always running into something that
wasn't in the book when he studied it.
Of all the foolish notions in the
world the notion that you can avoid
war by getting married is the foolish
est.
The great trouble with this world
is that too many people are leaving it
to somebody else to keep them out of
trouble.
Better the fellow who brags about
the kind deeds that he has done than
the fellow who keeps his mouth shut
because he has never done anything
for anyone else to brag about.

Great Lesson Is Taught by
Old Legend of the Hindus

The familiar mustard has a moral
tale told in it's connection by the Hin
dus, a story whose moral is as pun
gent as the flavor of the plant. A
mother, the legend runs, had lost her
only child, and, distracted she carried
the little body from door to door, from
temple to temple, crying out to priest
and doctor, to wise man and scholar,
"Oh, master, what can do to save my
child?
Everywhere she was greeted by pity,
but no help came until one old sage
answered, Zone thing will bring him
back to you, and one only-a handful
of mustard seed from house in which
no child or loved one has ever died."
With hope she hurried out on her
quest, but everywhere as she put the
question, HAS any loved one died in
this house?" the inmates would an
swer, "Of surety, for countless are
the hosts of the dead, and never was
there one SO desolate as to leave none
to mourn the passing"
And as she went the lesson sank in
to her heart that her loss had but
joined her soul to the universal soul of
humanity; that there was none in all
the wide world to whom sorrow was
! unknown, and, going back to the wise
man, she laid her little dead child at
his feet, crying out: Il have learned
my lesson. Mine is but the common
lot, for death is the end of ALL"

adapted to 'The Presidents March he
did not doubt of full house; that the
poets of the theatrical corps had been
trying to accomplish 1t, but had not sue
ceeded. l told him that / would try what
/ could do for him. He came the next
afternoon, and the song, such as 1T Is,
was ready for him. Such is the history
of the song which has endured infinitely
beyond the expectation of the author.
The song met with immediate sue
cess and was repeated again and again,
being named New Federal Song" and
no entertainment of the day was con-
sidered complete without it.
To run down the history of the mu-
sic of "Hail Columbia" written orig
inally as the presidents March" Mr..
Sonneck found much more difficult
task than giving the plain narrative
of the applied words. Wading through
an immense amount of historical data
and some controversy upon the sub
iect he has brought out facts which
he would only put forth after the most
careful process of sitting and deduc-
ton.
Until recently" he said, "the must
cal origin of Hail Columbia was as
obscure as its literary history was
clear" But, weighing all the evidence
in the case, he carefully sets down
the fact that the presidents March"

piece. Though no longer a national
song it is still a national air and Sec
ond only to Dixie in patriotic popu-
larity. For $50 years Yankee Doodle
has appealed to our people, and the
tune shows no sign of passing into
oblivion.
Many words have been spent in dis
cussing the origin of the title of this
song, and at least sixteen separate
and distinct derivations of the words
have been seriously set before the pub
lie. The earliest dated reference to
the tune appears in the first Ameri-
can ballad opera, 1.-The Disappoint-
ment," Philadelphia, 1867. 1t was
played in America as early as 1868,
for in the Journal of Transactions in
Boston, September %, 1853, we read:
1.-THE fleet was brought to anchor near
Castle William; that evening there
was throwing of skyrockets, and those
passing in boats observed great re-
joicing and that the Yankee Doodle
song was the capital piece in the band
of music"
The earliest appearance in print OF
yankee Doodle" in Europe has been
traced to James Ards "a Selection of
Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign
Airs" published in Glasgow about
1880, Mr.. Sonneck asserts that "Yan-
kee Doodle" did not appear in print in
America until Benjamin Carr's Fed
eral Overture" medley of patriotic
songs, including Yankee Doodle" and
composed in 1894, was published,
Adapted for the pianoforte," by b.
Carr, New York, in January, 1795.
Since then some interesting and now
rare renderings of the piece have been
issued.

other cities, until 1t had become pop
ular patriotic song throughout the
country.
In its original printed form it bore
the title, Defense of Fort McHenry,' y
with the following Introductory re-
marks, written by Judge Nicholson:
The annexed song was composed under
the following circumstances: A gentleman
mad left Baltimore in flag of truce for
the purpose of getting released from the
British fleet friend of his who had been
captured at Marlborough He went as
Tar as the mouth of the Patuxent and
was not permitted to return lest the in
tended attack on Baltimore should be dis
closed. He was therefore brought up the
pay TO the mouth of the Patapsco, where
the nag vessel was kept under the guns
OF frlgate, and he was compelled to wit
ness the bombardment of Fort McHenry,
which the admiral had boasted that he
could carry in a few hours and that the
city must fall. He watched the flag of
the fort through the whole day with an
anxiety that can better be felt than de-
scr1bed, until the night prevented him from
seeing It. In the night he watched the
oomo shells and at early dawn his eve
was again greeted by the proudly waving
flag of his country
The tune is that of "Anacreon of Heay-
en-, originally an English club song, pop
ular among the younger set OF Baltimore
at the time Key wrote the stanzas.
Hail Columbia" is a pure product
OF American soil In regard to both
words and music, and was written In
1898 by Joseph Hopkins, a prominent
jurist, who lived from ITO to 1912.
The poet himself explains the clrcum-
stances which led to the writing Of
the words as follows:
Hail Columbia" was written In the
summer of 1898, when war with France
was thought to be inevitable. Congress
was then in session in PHILADELPHIA de-
batting upon that important subject, and
acts of hostility had actually taken place.
The contest between England and France
was raging, and the people of the United
States were divided into parties for one
side or the other, some thinking that pol
Icy and duty required US to espouse the
cause of republican France, as she was
called, while others were for connecting
themselves with England. 4. =. The theater

new CHANCELLOR
II DEFENDS U-bOATS

Copenhagen-Dr. Georg .Michaelis,
the new imperial German chancellor,
in his address to the reichstag, de.
clared his adhesion to Germany's sub
marine campaign, asserting it to be
a lawful measure, justifably adopted
and adapted for shortening the war.
DR.. Michaelis opened his address
with a hearty tribute to DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, the retiring i'm.
pertal chancellor, whose work, he said,
history will appreciate.
The chancellor declared that the
war was forced on unwilling Germany
by the Russian mobilization and that
the submarine war was also forced
upon Germany by Great Britain's IL.
legal blockade starvation war.
The faint hope that America, at the
head of the neutrals, would check
Great Britain's Illegally was vain.
Germany's final attempt to avoid the
extremity by peace offer failed and
the submarine campaign, was adopted,
the chancellor said.
The submarines, the speaker con.
tinued, have done all that had been
expected and that false prophets who
had predicted the end Of the war at
q definite time had done disservice
to the Fatherland.
