The Star Spangled Banner
AS THE AUTHOR WROTE IT

Q say, you see by the dawn's early light
What SO proudly hail at the twiights last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright through the perou fight
Ger the rampar watched calamity streamngp
And the rockets red glare the bomb bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that flag still there
O. say. does that Star Spanged Banner still wave
Der the land of the free and the home Of the bravep
On the shore, dimy seen through the ms OF the deep
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence reposes
What is that which the breeze er the towering steep.
AS it 6tfully blows, half conceals, half disclosesp
Now catches the CLEAN Of the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream
It's the Star Spaneled Bannerl o, long may it wave
Der the land Of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so yauntngly s,vore
hat the havoc Of and the battles confusion
A home and country should leave more?
Their blood wash d out their foul footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hieing and slave,
From the of flight or the gloom of the grave
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
Der the land Of the free and the home Of the brave
0 thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their ov'd home and the wars dcsolationl
Blest with vict and peace may the heavn rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preery us naonl
Then conquer when our cause it just
And this be motto: In God is our trustl"
And the Star Spanged Banner in triumph shall wave
Der the land Of the free and the home Of the bravel

WERE MRS. BAMSEY'S NEIGHBOR

Mrs. Ida Bamsey, of Greeley, Colo.
who has been here on six weeks
visit at the home of her parnts, Mr..
and Mrs. Wesley Jay, was well ac-
quainted with Mrs. Bessie Crosier,
who last week killed five of her chill
dren and then turned the weapon on
herself. The Crosiers lived within a
mile of the Bamsey home. The story
of the shooting is that Mrs. Crosier
was insanely jealous of her husband.
She was 43 years of age. Late in the
afternoon she shot and killed her five
daughters with a revolver and then
wandered across the fields for nearly
half mile from the house, sat down
in an irrigation lateral and commit
ted suicide with one shot from the
weapon which had dealt death to the
helpless children few minutes pre-
viously. The demented woman left
a note addressed to her husband in
which she stated her intention of TAX
ing the lives of their children so as
to prevent their growing up in a
life of shame" The indications were
that she then carefully completed
her preparations for the CHASTITY ira
gedy so soon to be enacted and which
she had seemingly planned for some
days.

FOURTH NUMBER OF THE
WINTER LECTURE COURSE

| DR.. E. It. Hagerman is a man you
should pay careful attention to. Get
his circular and study it, for he is
one you can always rely upon to make
good on any course he is booked on.
l. DR.. Hagerman was born on a farm
| in Ohio, the state and environment
that has produced so many American
statesmen. But DR.. Hagerman did
not choose the law or politics so he
is not known in the political world,
but he chose rather to serve God and
his fellowmen. He has been a sue
cessful minister for years, serving
some of the largest charges in the
Methodist church, including First
Church, Des Moines. But he saw
from his narrow pulpit that there
was larger work in the Lyceum field,
so he is still serving God and man,
but in the broader field, where no one
denomination secures all his labors.
Although not what is known as a
humorist lecturer, his discourses all
abound in wholesome humor and he
is great story teller, and, like Lin
coin, illumes many point with an
apt story, thus fastening it in the
minds of his hearers.
Meet him when he comes to town.
The glowing good fellowship he rad
iates will warm the cookies of your
heart and repay you for the effort. He
gives the fourth number of the Com
mercial Club lecture course at the
Methodist church, Monday evening,
January 22nd.
