Backscheand Kidney Troubles
3 Kidney trouble is indicated
by painsin the back; neglecting
the pains results in serious ill-
ness. The Kidneys becoming
clogged fail in their work of

'..ities. A change or decom-
_ positiongftakes place. Once the
structnre,,is destroyed no rem-
edy will avail. There is only
'.one time to attack the dis-
ease and that is in its early
stage, when the first pains are
- .felt. Buker’s Kidney Pills area

DR.’--leTH‘°'TELi;s HO:-
TlONAL HY'M‘N WAS WRITTEN.
First Scribbled on 9. Scrap of {\Vaste,
g Paper; Sung on July 4, 1832,vin Boston,
I and Since Then in All Parts of the
World:
Dr. Oliver W'endell Holmes once said“
facetiously that he supposed the three
people in theworld whose poems were
the best known were himself, one Smith
and oneBrown.
The one Brown he had in mind was the
Mrs. Brown who wrote “I love to Steal
Awhile Away.” The one Smith was his
old college classmate and long—time
friend, Samuel -Francis Smith, D.D.,
the author of “My Country, ’Tis of
Thee.” ' .
Dr. Smith is still among the living, one
of the last of that famous class of Har-
vard ’29 men which included, besides the
late Dr. Holmes, theRev. James Freeman
Clarke, Prof. Benjamin. Pierce, Judge
Curtis, Judge Bigelow and a number of
others well kn own in Massachusetts’ an-
nals and beyond them. ' ‘
In October, 1894, Dr. Smith was eighty-
slx years old. He recently told a con-
tributor of the New York Herald the fol-
lowing story of the birth of the national
hymn: ‘ . ,
I did not know thatd had written a
national hymn till the conviction was.
forced upon me. While I was a student
in the Thelogical Seminary in Andover,
Mass, Mr. Lowell Mason, through whose
efforts the study of music was introduced
into the public schools of Boston and
elsewhere in this country, brought me a
number of singing books, which Mr.
William C. Woodbridge', who had visited
Germany to inspect the school system
there, had brought home with him and
put into Mr. Mason’s hands. '
Mr. Woodbridge had been much im.
pressed with ' the German method of
. teaching music in the schools, and I
was asked to look through the books
and translate such of the songs as
seemed to me appropriate to our Ameri-
can schools.
DR. SAMUEL F. SMITH.
Turning over the leaves of one of the
music‘books I found one song of a. patri-
otic nature set to the tune which England
claims as hers because she has so long
sung it to the words “God Save the
Queen,” but which the Danes claim as
theirs, and which the Germans claim
as theirs, and which the Germans claim
as original with them, and of the real
origin of which I believe no one is cer.
tain.
The music impressed me by its sim-
plicity and easy movement, and I was at
once moved to write a patriotic hymn of
my own, which American children could
sing to this same tune, which I did on a.’
scrap 0t waste paper, probably finishing
it within half an hour. '1
That was in February, 1832. I gave the
hymn to Mr. Mason with others—some
translations,others my own—and thought
no more of it. The following Fourth of
in Boston, where Sunday-school children
were enjoying a patriotic festival. It Was
at this children’s Fourth of July celebra-
tion that “America” was first sung, the
words of which I had written a. few
months before. Since then I have heard
it sung all over the world. '
the sending of the original of “America”
to the Pepe, it is not true. An autograph
copy was sent, framed, by a friend of
mine, as an individual, to be deposited in
the Vatican library at Rome; the original
is still in my own possession.
It was of Dr. Smith that Dr. Holmes
wrote in his poem to “The Boys,” com-
posed for one of their Harvard class re-
unions: 3
Ana there‘s a nice youngster of excellent pith
Fate tried to conceal it by naming it Smith;
But he shouted a song for the brave and the
free,
Just read on his medal, “My Country, of
Thee." , .7, ..
Speaking of the difference between col-
lege life to— day and in his own student
days, Dr. Smith said the chief difference
is the decrease of class spirit owing to
the largely increaSed number of men in
the classes to-day. “Our class at Her-
vard,” said Dr. Smith, “numbered‘sikty'
when we graduated, and we all knew
each other well. We had the chance to
measure, mark and weigh each other,
and were almost like brothers of one
family.”
For the last few years of Dr. Holmes’s
life the remnant of the class of ’29 gave
up holding their annual reunion at one of
the hotels, and dined at his residence as
his persomtl guests. These occasions
lasted from 4 in the afternoon till late at
night, and the reminiscences exchanged
were peculiarly entertaining, saddened
only by the dwindling numbers.
Dr. Smith has led too busy a life to
sentimentalize over his work, until this
year not even taking the trouble to hunt
up the manuscript of his famous patriot-
ic poem, to w hich he always referred
when questioned as “scribbled upon a. bit
at waste paper somewhere.”
It Was Very Sudden.
