any COUNTRY, TITS OF THEE"

When DR.. Samuel Francis Smith
wrote the patriotic song America" it
had five stanzas, instead of four, as
at present. Afterwards, some Anglo
maniacs suppressed the third stanza
for fear of offending their British
acquaintance. Here is the suppressed
verse, which should be included in
every copy Of the familiar song:
No more shall tyrants here,
With naughty steps appear.
And soldier hands,
No more shall tyrants tread
Above the patriot dead,
No more our blood be shed
By alien hands.
Here is DR.. Smiths own account of
the writing of "My Country, IT'S of
Thee:
THE song was written at Andover
during my student life there; think
in the winter of 1882. 1t was first
used publicly at Sunday school cele-
bration of July in the Park Street
church, Boston. I had in my posses

from which was selecting such music
as pleased me, and finding God Save

Her mother was excited.

So that was how it began. The riv-

well. Amy never could be converted
to mere worldliness; but her lover,
and afterward husband, grew to love

peasants blessed him, and nature re-

AN AGNoSTIc'S TRIBUTE AND
BISHOPS WARNING.

H. L. Mencken, litterateur, publicist
and writer for the Baltimore Sun and
allied papers, is, on his own state
ment, an agnostic, and not himself an
adherent of any religion, though his
forebearS, for several generations,
were good Protestants. Commenting
on the recent election in Baltimore
(the issues of which do not concern
us here), he has somewhat to say re-
garding the efforts of non-Catholic
ministers to bolster up their diminish
ing congregations, and, after de-
precating their political fervor, he has
this to say:
Even with the aid of the vaudeville
they offer-the harangues by Prohi-
bition wiskinskis, the gaudy revela-
tons of vice crusaders, the moving
picture shows, the visits of DR.. Kelly,
and SO on-they seldom muster more
than a few hundred auditors, mostly
curious adolescents. The public, read
ing about them in the newspapers,
perhaps pictures them as leading
great hosts. But every newspaper re-
porter knows that this is not true,
and such tests as that Of yesterday
prove absolutely that it is not true.
They cannot even influence the votes
of their own f1ock-and year by year,
as the din increases, those flocks
diminish.
1T. is precisely their feeling that
they are gradually losing ground,
believe, that makes some of them sc
violent. Despite all their street car
nivals, their anti-booze festivals and
their constant posturing in the news
papers, they find that trade grows
steadily worse. Meanwhile, their more
seemly colleagues of the Latin rite
gather in the faithful.

through it. The voice could not be
sent from the transmitter to the re-

was that the telephone must be ar
ranged in such way that the cleo
trodes did not quite touch. He want
