We Are Not as Familiar With
Them as We Should Be.
FEW OF US KNOW THE WORDS
How Many Americans, For Instance,
Can R.ciU "Th. 8tr Sp.nglod Ban
,n.r" or "My Country, TJa of Th..?"
"Dixie", and "Maryland, My Mary
land." Proud as they are of their nation, It
Is a tttrnnKt fnct tint C American are
not o familiar with their country'
patriotic flltn oa are tho people of the
foreign land.
Even wIh'ii they ore Htlrred to the
point of tiluiditg by buMtlti they (lnd It
linrd to recollect the worda. And It 1h
doubtful whether riiiujy ere awnre of
the bltH of hlnlory attached to some of
the land's patriotic ulin.
Take "The Star Spangled Banner,"
for Inula tu-o, How much can you slog
of that Bong? Vet, If any cau bo called
the national anthem, thin Id tho one.
Of con rue It Is unfair to ourselves to
say that wo cannot sing it, but it must
lo admitted that wo don't .now It aa
generally on we nhould.
It author, Francis Hcott Key, now
lies In a cemetery at Frederick, Md.,
where an American (lag la always
waring over IjIh grave. Key wrote the
song after 1111 experience ho had wbllo
a prlHoncr aboard a lirltlHh war vessel.
Wbllo ho wua aboard tho boat Fort
McHenry, the Bole protection of Bal
timore, was bombarded, and the song
tell of bin aatlHfactlon at finding the
flag of bin country Mill waving upon
the dawn of tho succeeding morning.
It hi a hymn which all Americans
can Join in Hinging, because It breathes
the spirit of the whole land and baa
not ono suggestion of aectlonallKin in
It
Next as a nutioual aong comes
"America," sometimes known as "My
Country, Tin of Thee." Objection lu
frequently raised ngaltiHt this because
the tune was not original. It is the
property of the British empire as much
as it Is of the United States, and when
it is heard from afar one cannot tell
whether the band wants to feel tho in
spiration that is in tho words of
"America" or in "God Save the King."
Tho words of the song "My Country,
'Tls of Thee." were written by Samuel
Francis Smith. The song was first
sung at a Sunday school celebration of
the Fourth of July nt the Park Street
church in Boston. It is an Interesting
fsct that one of tho little boys who
helped to ulng "America" for tho flint
time is now the chaplain of the United
States Semite, the venerable and rev
erend Edward Everett Hale.
Then we have "Columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean," which has something
like an echo of "Brltanula. the Pride
of the Ocenu." The tune of "Yankee
Doodle" Is a good one, and wo all like
to whistle or hum It, but the words
unfortunately are not very good and,
furthermore, It has been said did not
mean a great deal at the time they
were written. At any rate, it has not
the solemn grandeur that "The Star
Spangled Banner" holds.
The origin of "Yankee Doodle" Is
shrouded in the mystery of a scoro of
conflicting tales. It Is generally
agreed, however, that the tuuo came
from England, and the words were In
rented by the British soldiers to be
sung in derision of the raw American
troops who Joined them at the camp
on tho Hudson below Albany In 1755
during the French. and Indian war.
Twenty years later the rebellions pa
triots played "Yankee Doodle" at the
battle of Lexington, and it became the
first national song of tho United States.
Philadelphia has considerable Inter
est in "Hail Columbia." It was writ
ten by Joseph Ilopklnson of this city,
although tho air was ono composed by
a German who was conducting an or
chestra in New York. Ilopklnson
wrote the' words nt the time when war
was threatened with France in 179S,
and for a long while it was the most
popular of our patriotic songs.
As for sectional songs, there are some
which havo mighty good tunes, a case
In polut being "Dixie." Although this
was the battle hymn of the Confed
eracy, Lincoln enjoyed It immensely
and on the day of his assassination
asked a band to play it for him.
"Dixie," however, was written long
before the civil war aud was not In
tended for the use of the Confeder
ates. It was written iu 1S50 by Dan
iel D. Emmctt, who was singing with
Bryant's minstrels in New York. Bry
ant's show was dragglug, and as fail
ure seemed imminent he asked Em
mett to wrlto a negro "walk around"
which would stir up some enthusiasm.
"Dixie" was the result.
Its adaptation nearly two years later
as the war song of the south was an
accident. Mrs. John Wood was ap
pearing at the New Orleans Varieties
theater in "Pocahontas." On nccouut
of tho rising tide of war a zouave drill
was Introduced Into the show. The or
chestra loader tried over several airs
for the march and finally hit upon
"Dixie." The war cloud burst the next
week, and from New Orleans "Dixie"
spread all over the south. At the north
Fanny J, Crosby, the hymn writer,
wrote a song for "Dixie" which was
strongly Union in sentiment, but tho
other side had pre-empted the air. ,
Then it was that the north took up
John Brown's Body," which was first
put on by a Boston company, and later
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe wrote to this
tune "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Another popular southern air is real
ly an old German one. It had been
used Iu America for many years as n
rehicle for the old college song "Lau-
tigtt noratlns," but It Is now univer
sally assoclrtcd wltb "Maryland, My
Maryland."
This song was considered by James
Russell Lowell to be the best poem
produced by the civil war. and Mr.
Lowell could not have been partial to
its sentiments. It was written by
James Ryder Randall, a Marylander.
At the outbreak of hostilities Mr. Ran
dall was teaching lu a small college lu
Louisiana. When he heard the news
of tho riots In tho streets of Baltimore
In April, 1SC1, he was fired by the In
telligence and angry because his na
tive state did not forsake the Union.
Under these circumstances be wrote
the poem. It was first published In the
New Orleans Delta and copied in all
the southern papers and, of course, be
came very popular among Maryland
secessionists. One of these. Miss Jen
nie Cary, suggested adapting It to the
air of the familiar college song. Miss
Cary was hi Virginia Just after the
lirst battle of Bull Run. She and a
party of friends were serenaded at
Fairfax Court House by the Washing
ton Light artillery of New Orleans.
Miss Cary responded by singing "Ma
ryland, My Maryland." Philadelphia
