WEATHER REPORT

Yesterday: Max. 3S. Min. 90. Today: Cloudy, calm.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1918-09-04
orIalnated with Webster.

when began the custom for indi-
viduals and audiences to be standing
when the 'Star-Spangled Banner was
sung or played?"
1t was 3 fair question. 1t was adopt
ed by the army and navy long ago
but the army and navy did not origi-
nate the very appropriate and patriotic
custom.
Between sixty and seventy years
ago, when Jenny Lind. one of the
sweetest singers the world ever pro-
duced, was the chief attraction at a
Boston concert, Daniel Webster, the
great senator, secretary of state and
patriot. was present.
Jenny Lind sang the "Star-Spangled
Banner" as only that songbird could
sing it, The audience called her back
several times, and she sang a verse
of our present national anthem.
Each time one man stood up, and
at the close gracefully bowed to the
singer. That was Daniel Webster.
1t was a good example TO set, a
needed custom to ests tlish, and one
that has been an important factor in
impressing patriotic lessons.
