An Interesting story, and" a
Mory which patriotic countrymen
can aerer hear too often,, is ,'the
tale of the writing of "The Stir
Spangled Banner," our official na
tional anthem,' by Francis Scott
Key, as it la concisely' and vividly
told 1n a pamphlet Issued r by the
George : Earita ' Publishing com
pany for the 'National American
ar Mothers as well as for other
organizations" and "clubs. "

An understanding of the, story
will doubtless make each citizen
more eager Ho " learn the' exact
words. ?!,. '- ' " .
I It was in 1814 that this anthem
was Inspired, the middle of Sep-
V tember,, during the unforgettable
bombardment of Fort McHenry by
the' English army, auguniented, as
ft was, by continental riff-raff
brought oyer on the powerful
British fleet. r
I The fleet had come lor the pur
pose of destroying the large num
ber of -American privateers which
Sad been sallying forth from the
waters of Chesapeake Bay and
i .
raiding British; ships. Altogether
the enemy possessed sixteen ships,
everyone of which, after Washing
ton ; had been thoroughly. ransack
ed, concentrating : its fire 6n the
low little fortification from Whose
flagpole . was" flying the ' ;'Star
Spangled. Bannerl t" f ..;'
At this critical time, Francis
Scott Key,? a Georgetown lawyer,
was being detained on a small! ves
sel, the Minden, amongst the Brit
ish ships. - Because of fear that
he might reveal information about
the plans that were being made
to advance on Baltimore, MrJ Key
was simply taken along with the
British fleet to be held until frfter
the bombardment, j;
.As the battle eontiued,-Mr. Key
became more and more torn jwith J
anxiety: for, the safety of the ;flag.
In the morning there, is unimagin
able relief to see that not the Brit
ish ;flag, but the; tcreat American
banner stili waves;-': j 5;
"Completely Inspired, " 'Francis
Scott Key took and'old enVelop he
found in his pocket, and on the
back of it wrote the words of the
song of which all this is the story.
It commemorates a historic! vic
tory in arms -when the nation in
early "you fh was fighting for its
existence, arajnst a strong! and
powerful foe that hid invaded, our
shores. '
TheVoriginal "Star Spangled
Banner-which flew over Fort
McHenry during the bombardment
has been repaired of fts "guhKdles
and restored, by expert needle
women. It is now carefully pre
