Star SpangIed Banner

When Francis Scott Key composed
the immortal words at Baltimore on
September IA, 1914, the flag displayed
fifteen stars. In the Union at that
time there were three more states
than the stars symbolized, all of them
except Louisiana being east of the
Mississippi.
What a marvellous development is
reflected in the 4S stars that now
adorn the national standard! What a
glorious expansion the republic has
had, We have grown from nation
of 5000, 900 to 1O0,0O0,000. We have
pushed our boundaries to the Pacific
ocean and Boring strait, have carried
liberty to Porti Rico and the Philip
pines and are now fighting under the
Star Spangled Banned, for the free
dom of the world-Portland Journal.

Fairies came to join the bats. They
wore dark flowing robes and black
crowns on their heads.
"Ah,' said the bats, you all look
wonderfully. And you don't hurt our
eyes. You are so dark. We can see
you perfectly
"The night fairies laughed, and their
laughter Joined in the soft summer
breeze so that the people on the earth
said:
"Listen to the singing of the trees
And of course we know that the fairies
were singing with the trees.
"'We knew you'd like US to wear
dark robes and dark crowns said the
fairies. we knew then you'd see us
better. And we have on our magic
| night glasses so we can see everything
clearly, even though 1t is SO dark
"And then the ball began. The fair
les sang and they played their fairy
land instruments. The bats danced
and flew about this way, and that.
Sometimes they would do silly, dan
gerous things, such as flying in room
where they saw light.
For though they hate light, still
sometimes 1t blinds them in such way
that they cannot get out into the dark
ness once they have gone into the
light And they go to the light the
way so many of us go toward things
we really don't want and which only do
us harm.
"Bats always run great risks when |
they fly in windows where there are
lights, for they are not in the least bit |
popular.
"But the fairies helped them out
again, and for the most part the ball
went without any accidents. Nothing
serious happened, at any rate.
Late, late into the night, the fairies
and the bats danced. When the early |
morning came, Mr.. Sun heard the
noise, peeped open his eyes, put his
head on one side, and said:
I must be up. 1 want to see what
is going on

to feel very sleepy, and they rubbed
