Mr.. Key then told me that, under
the excitement of the time he had
written a song and handed me a copy
of The Star Spangled Banner. When
| had read it and expressed my ad.
miration l asked him how he found
time, in the scenes he had been pass
ing through, to compose such a song.
He said he commenced it on the deck
of his vessel, in the fervor of the mo-
ment, when he saw the enemy hastily
retreating to their ships, and looked
at the flag he had so anxiously
watched for, the morning opened;
that he had written some lines, or
brief notes, that would aid him in
calling them TO mind, upon the back
of a letter which he happened to have
in his pocket, and for some of the
lines as he proceeded he was obliged
to rely altogether upon his memory,
and that he finished it in the boat
on his way to the shore, and wrote

They are only a few among 10000
men, most of whom have already kill

They are hot t.blooded. desperate men
these Indian killers. They are
Orientals and to them women are the
beginning and the end of all human
delights-better than the tinkle OF gold
coins one against the other; better
knife blade. And here in exile these
desperate men must forego the taste
of the honey of life.
However. a small percentage get
women In a most peculiar way. When
woman murderers are sent to the is
land, Col. Beadon has them lined up
on Saturdays and put on the marriage
market. Then the exiles gather about

brides, they are followed by raging
gTares from the disappointed suitors.
Too often tragedy follows.
When her husband is away in the
fields, the woman finds a hundred
lovers ready TO dare all for one soft
glance from her eye. Then comes u

killing of both woman and lover and
the end-with the hanging OF the hus-

The hanging is sure. The mild man

Cooper used TO play at chess, knows
that the safety of all rests on swift
punishment Only a few hours at
most. and then up in the great red
prison on the hill the gallows trap is

Corn Ground Thoroughly
Disked Right for Oats

Corn ground thoroughly disked In
the spring undoubtedly makes the
best seed bed for oats. Next to that
comes fall-plowed stubble ground,
disked In the spring. Like other
small grains, oats do best in a seed
bed that Is firm underneath and mel
low and fine on top.
Though oats are not considered a
profitable crop, they or some other
small grain are needed as a nurse
crop for clover and alfalfa as well as
for changing the land. In spite or the
fact that oats are not as profitable a
crop as corn or even as winter wheat,
farmers annually grow about six mill
lion acres Of them, over half the acre
age OF corn and about eight times the
combined acreage OF winter wheat,
spring wheat and barley. So long as
this continues 1t is important to give
the oat crop the very best Of care and
attention possible
To begin with, good variety
should be seeded--one that is known
to produce well In the locality In
which II is to be grown. The seed
should be well graded and be free
from weeds Smut Infested seed
should never be sown. for smut may
