Dr. Samuel Francis Smith studled an old bymn tune, long in use in England, and wrote to it the glorious words of “My Country, "Tis of The the hymn we now know as * The alr was written in 1790. “America” was first sung @t a Fourth of July celebration at a Boston Sunday school {n 1832, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” as every one knows, was written during the War of 1812 by Francis Scott Key while he was a prisoner on a British ship watching the bombardment of an American fort. The tune was taken bodily from “Anacreon in Heaven,” an old Eng- Usb air, This was not the music's first American appearance, Years earlier it had been fitted to the words of a national campaign song called “Adams and Liberty.” Dr. Samuel Arnold has been credited With composing “Adams and Liberty.” But the alr 1s English, The Mexican War had dozens of songs woven around {t. Most of these are now forgotten. But one of them for more than a quarter century was the most popular patriotic ballad in all this country, It commemorated the hero death of an officer named Ringgold. Bo- cause It lavded one man instead of a cause, it Is neglected to-day, and Ringgold himself is a mere name, But our grandmothers used to warble it from Maine to Florida, and they used to throw a lungful of tremolo pathos into the refrain: “And still the noble Ringgold cried, As o'er the fleld of slain he flew, ‘Your country marks your deeds with pride! There's work, there's work, for every man to do!'” The Civil War was a veritable hotbed for patriotic songs. Fore- most of them al! stands out Mrs, Howe's “Battle Hymn of the Repub- lic,” written to the tune of “John Brown's Body.” Yet, for a year or two after {¢ was published, this stirring hymn fell flat. It did not come into favor until an army chaplain, McCabe by namo, sang it in Libby Prison to celebrate the victory of Gettysburg, It became the official song of the prisoners, and as fast as they were exchanged they carried it to their regiments. Lincoln wept, unashamed, from Pure excitement, when first he heard it sung. Then, “Dixie” and “Maryland, My Maryland,” and “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,” avd much later, “Marching Through Georgia” and “Tenting To-Night,” and a score of other splendid war songs were chanted in a thousand camps. “Dixie” was composed and written, it is sald, in New York, and some time before the war. It had no bearing on the conflict, though efforts have been made to prove ft was meant for an allegory, “Maryland” was set to the old German air of “Tannen- baum.” a tune that dates back for centuries: What immortal songs will the present war give the world? Thus far a series of catchy ditties-—-from “Tipperary” to “Over There,” have been born of the world struggle.

It has been said that you could never organize women to work In masses—an absolute fallacy, as proved by the huge numbers of women working together in Eng- land, They usually wear blue overalls and caps, and where the woi demands a certain amount of tion or where there is considerable danger attached they wear fairly tight fitting trousers to prevent themselves knocking against or catching in anything. In certain factories, particularly in the T. N.
