THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , AUGUST 9 , 1907 v "The Star Spangled Banner" am Fort Alcllcnry. "Such a desecration of thii noble old fort , tlie inspiratioi of 'The Star Spangled Hanner , is an outrage.Ve will no mor submit to it than Massachu setts would submit to a hospita for diseased uoultry on Ply mouth Rock. " So declared a citizen of Balti more when it was proposed re cently to abandon FortMcLlenrj so far as military occnpatio was concerned , and turn ilia historic post over to the Agr : cultural Department , to be use as a cattle quarantine slatior Such a hue and cry has not bee raised since Secretary Bonepart suggested that the Irigate Cor stitution be destroyed. The protests have won th day Fort Mcllenry has bee abandoned as a governmeii post , but neither destroyed nc desecrated. Uhas been turne over to the state of Marylam to be used as headquarters fc the naval reserves and militir and as a public park , while ? the wharf a gunboat is to b stationed. Fort Mcllenry was erccte 11(5 years ago and named i honor of a surgeon of the Revo xitionajy war who served undc the Marquis de Lafayette an eventually became one of Wasl ington's private secretaries member of congess and secretar of war under Washington an Adams. But Fort McOenry tc day is not famous because c the man for whom it was name but because it withstood th onslaught of the enemy a qnai ter of a century after it wa erected , and showed to th straining eyes of a gifted youn singer the glorious Stars an Stripes Hying from its rampart after a terrible night of bon bardment. The circumstances whic ushered "The Star Spangle ; Banner" into this world are fu of patriotic exhilaration. 1 was during the darkest days ( America's second war for indi pendence. An English arm had invaded and occupiedWasl ington and had burned tl national capital. An Englis squadron was in undisputc possession of Chesapeake Ba : Dr. William Beanes , a prom nent citizen of Maryland , wli had been arrested in his lion charged with some offence , re ; or fancied was carried oT ! prisoner. It was to secure the liberatic of his friend and neighbor th ; Francis Scott Key obtaint leave of the President to go 1 the British Admiral under Jlag of truce. Tie found tl British lleet at the mouth of tl Potomac. Mr. Key was cou teously received by Admir ! Cochrane , and it was final ] agreed thnt Dr. Beanes shoul be released but as an advam upon Baltimore was about to t made , it was required that tl party of Americans should r main under guard on board the own vessel until these open tions were concluded. Thus was that on the night of Se ] tember 1-i , 1814 , Key wltnessc the bombardment of Fort M Henry. Some time before day tl tiring suddenly ceased , but 1 knew not whether the fort hr surrendered or the attack on had been abandoned. As soc as it was light enqugh to see , 1 looked toward the fort and , his joy discovered the Stars ai Stripes still floating over i His feeling found expression complete lines of verse , whic he wrote upon the back of letter. He linished the poei "The Star Spanled Banner , " ( the boat that carried him asho and wrote out a clear copy th same evening at his hotel Baltimore. Next day he re ; this to his friend and kinstna Judge Nicholson , who was pleased that he carried it to I office of the Baltimore Atne ] can , where it was put into ty ; > y a young apprentice , Samue Sands by name , and thence ssued as a broadside. Withii in hour it was circulated al over the city , hailed with de ight by the excited people Published in the succccdinj ssue of the American and re ) rinlcd elsewhere , it wen traight to the public heart.

First sung in a taveri idjoining the Ilolliday Stree Theatre in Baltimore by Uhas inning , an actor , whose brothe Ferdinand Duraug , had set it I in old air , its production on til stage of that theatre was th occasion of spontaneous and tin bounded enthusiasm. Where ever it was heard its effect wa electrical and thenceforward i was universally accepted as th national anthem.

Interest of the most serious kind has been taken in London the trial of William D. Hay wood at lloisc. The London Spectator devotes the first header to its consideration. It says : "That which makes the Idaho trial so depressing is the extent to which it rcveah the depth of the chasm now visible between the rich and poor , between the employers and the employed. The struggle in truth has all the bittcrftess of .t civil war. It is almost asdcprebs- ing to sec how despondent the best Americans are as to the possibility of finally reforming the great force to which the\ must look for the prevention ol the actual war in which if that force cannot be cheated this bit terness must end. "The root of the mischief , they cannot but perceive , is the imper fcction of the system through which they distribute justice- "The law itself is as just in America as it is in Great Britain , jut in the republic it is not rrcsistiblc. So man } ' influences of corruption , of terrorism and of class prejudice arc allowed to leflcct what ought to be the im mutable , serene justice of the courts that their pacifying effect ind the confidence of the people n their action are alike destroyed. ' 'It is distrust in the courts which makes hatred of the mil- ion ai res for the workmen so bit ter and the fear of them among employees so extravagant ; dis trust in the courts which induces the toilers to combine for pur poses of menace ; distrust in the courts which renders verdicts worthless as instruments for pre serving or creating peace. "Something of that distrust may be unjust , for there must be scores of honest judges within the Union and thousands of men who. once sworn as jurymen , would no more suppress or betray their own consciences than the best of British judges \\ould. But allowing for that injustice it is clear that in a great portion of the United States the judicial system fails , while it is not clear that the people , though they acknowledge the failure , will consent to any radical reform. They will not raise their judges above pecuniary temptation , they will not confine the jury box to the classes least likel } ' to be cor rupted and they will not accel erate the system of trial till the opportunities either of corruption or terror are reduced to the minimum. Nor , apparently , will they make crime by a combina tion much more penal than crime by an individual. " How Not to Sleep. Don't sleep on your left side , for it causes too great a pressure on the heart. Don't sleep on your right side , for it interferes with the res piration of that lung. Don't sleep on your stomach , tor that interferes with the res piration of both lungs and makes breathing difficult. Don't sleep on your back , for this method of getting rest is bad for the nervious system. Don't sleep sitting in a chair , for your body falls into an un natural position and yon cannot get the necessary relaxation. Don't sleep standing up , for you may topple over and crack your skull : Don't sleep. Puck. A Freak Hen Adopts Pigs. Trinadad , Col. , "Mechanical impossibility , " or no , there is a hen in this town that , after futile attempts to hatch her eggs , has adopted a family of six little pigs for her very own. Every evening at dusk the proud foster mother spreads her wings over her adopted children in Alex McDonald's pigsty , while in the daytime the young rooters follow her around , an swering her motherly clucks just as chickens would. This is considered one ot the most singular freaks of nature ever given publicity. O G D 1 can offer you the best 1 Io Dip on the market.

Buck ley , a hotel clerk , and George Elliot , an actor of New York city , were take from the top of the Twentieth Century Limited tram when it arrived in Cleve land Friday mtirning , uncon scious from the fright and ex posure of the trip. They say they slipped on the top of one of the sleepers as the train was pulling out of Buffalo , not realizing the terrific exposure and perilous nature of the trip. A few miles out of Buffalo , as the speed of the train increased and the noise rose to a roar , the men clung desperately to one of the little guard rails for dear life and finally fainted. Railroad Detective Schultz of the Lake Shore railway found the men when the train pulled into Cleveland. He dashed water in their faces and finally poured restoratives down their throats to bring them back to consciousness , Serious Accident.
