"The star-spanqIed Banner"

The best authority on the proper
wording of "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," is the author of the song Francis
S. Key. In the course of innumerable
printings of the song, differences in
the text have occurred due to careless
ness, bad memory or deliberate eff
forts to Improve" it. OF course no one
has any definite authority to make
changes. Several copies of the song
in the authors own handwriting ex-
list. Even these differ. but the differ
ences are very slight, and do not af-
feet the sense. One of these is the
copy made by Key Immediately after
composing the poem. which he had
first, after a preliminary sketch. writ
ten out on the back of an envelope.
While this text is not absolutely the
original II is virtually that and may
be regarded as the standard. Fac
SMILES of this and later copies in
Keys handwriting are printed togeth-
er with facsimiles Of early printed YER
sions without and with music in
book issued by the library of congress
in 1914-"The Star-Spangled Banner"
by Oscar George Theodore Sonneck,
who discusses all the evidence about
the origin of the song.

BIG MANS ACT OF KINDNESS
Little incident Recorded of Ian7es J.
Hill Shows Great Constructive
Genius at His Best.

James J. Hill was large and "a
miliar figure in American business life,
and there have been printed plenty OF
eulogies of his great constructive geni-
us. But no more genuine eulogy has
ever been pronounced than is con
tanned in a little story from ST. Paul.
1t was a simple incident-one of the
sort that generally and naturally
passes unrecorded, says the Chica-
go Herald in recalling it. Mr.. Hin
was coming out of an office building
with another railroad official when
he noticed a horse standing SILVER
ing and unblanketed near by. He
walked over and arranged the blanket
and then resumed his conversation.
1t is a very good thing to he a
great railroad builder and financial
figure whose word carries weight
not only all over the country, but
throughout the world But ii is bet
ter to be able to retain in the midst
of such important occupation the hui
man kindness which makes whole
world kin.

Some years ago the remains of a
prehistoric man were found in central
Europe in a geological stratum that
showed that he existed at least 100000
years ago, and probably more. His
physical formation, especially the
shape and size of the skull, left no
doubt, according to scientists, that he
had been well-developed human be-
ing with a creditable degree of intel
ligence. He did not show the brain
possibilities of modern man, it is true,
but probably he did not need them,
since it must have required less intel
lectual power to dodge the giant dino
saurs and other small-headed men,
bers of the Sauropoda family of that
day, alarming though they might look,
than to escape death from the preda-
tory and terrifying automobile of to-
day.
