Back to Earth.

We had a friend who had been pret-
ty prosperous, but who came upon evil
days. We met him one day and he
said that he was pretty close to be-
Ing busted, but he was still hoping.
Then he honked his horn, mournfully,
and drove away, and we didn't see
him again till the other day when we
bumped into him on the street, says
the Cleveland Plaindealer.
Hello, old scout 7! we said. "How
are things breaking now?"
Fine" he answered. I'm on my
feet again."
Bully" we exclaimed. How did
you do it?'
"Sold my car"
The joke was so obvious that we
didn't see II till after he had gone.

HAL Columbia" Is q pure product

words and music, and was written in
l70S by Joseph Hopkins. a prominent
1urist, who lived from ITO to 1S42.
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 179S when war with France
was thought 10 be Inevitable. Congress
was then In session In PHILADELPHIA de-

acts OF hostility had actually taken place
The contest between England and France

did not doubt Of full house, that the
poets OF the theatrical corps had been
trying to accomplish It, but had not sue
ceeded. ] told him that l would try what
could do for him. He came the next
afternoon, and the song. such as II 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
ject, he has brought out facts which
he would only put forth after the most
careful process of sitting and deduc
tion.
Until recently" he said, "the musl-
cal origin Of Hall 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,"
which supplied the music for Hail Co
lumbia," was composed by Philip PhIle,
resident of Philadelphia, of perhaps
German or Swiss origin, and musician
and instructor Of note. (His name is
usually spelled incorrectly; the above
Is the correct spelling.)

EpistoIatory Mania.

Southey said, "a letter is like a
fresh billet of wood upon the fire,
which If 1t be not needed for imme-
diate warmth, is always agreeable for
its exhilarating effect" He also refers
to the epistolatory mania in very young
persons, saying that in his later years
his pleasure consisted in receiving let
ters, not in writing them. This mania
evidently had not attacked our young
son, who said he dreaded to get let
ter because he knew he would be re-
quired to answer itl-Los Angeles

"The main objection raised against

Yet there Is this difference, which
should never be overlooked: If the
Danes or the Prussians use God Save
the King they have deliberately bor-
rowed It from the British. Not so with

Revolution Effected
With Slight Disorder
By Associated Press

Petrograd, Wednesday, Nov. Z. =
The Maximalist movement toward
seizing authority, rumors of which
had been agitating the public mind
ever since the formation of the last
coalition cabinet, eliminated last
night when, without disorder, Max
imalist forces took possession of the
telegraph office and the Petrograd
telegraph agency.
Orders issued by the government
for the opening of the spans of the
bridges across the Neva later were
overridden by the military commit
Zee of the Council of Workmens and
Soldiers Delegates. Communication
was restored after several hours OF
interruption. Nowhere did the
MaXimalists meet with serious OPP
position.
An effort by militiamen to disperse
crowds gathered in the Nevsky and
Letainy Prospekts during the eve
ming provoked a fight in which one
man is reported TO have been killed
Minor disturbances, some of them
accompanied by shooting, occurred
in various quarters of the city.
This morning found patrols of sol-
diers, sailors and civilians maintain
ing order Further than continual
ton of suppressed excitement the
